Raroint biturrnto rig SoirnrwAsi.—A meeting of reformers was held on Saturday night in the Borough road Congreiptional Church, Seathwark for the purpose of descant.* the government reform Mff, and e entire confidence in Mr. Gladstone. Mr. G. M.T re u s rpli n ! Murphy_, the chairman, defined the ultimate object of the move ment in which they were engaged to be manhood suffrage, but they were prepared to accept as an instalment house hold suffrage and a lodger franchise protected by the ballot, unrestricted, however, by such complications as a two years' residence. lie stigmatised the tortes as inca pable of passing • satisfactory measure and the only course was to turn them out and replace Mr. Gladstone. Letters were read from Mr. Locke, M.P., and Mr. Layard, M.P., who both said they were unable to attend the meet ing. The latter, however, expressed his concurrence in its H objects. Mr. ooker moved the first resolution, de nouncing the government measure as a delusion and • snare, and urging liberal members to oppose it until at least household suffrage, protected by the ballot, became the law of the land. Mr. Dresser Rogers moved the second, expressing sympathy with Mr. G lad stone, and con demning the conduct of so-called liberals, who disfran chised their constituencies at the time of need. The third, moved by Mr. Jarman, called upon the members of the borough (with the exception of Mr. Doulton, who insulted the borough by retaining his seat) to represent in every practical way the feeling of the meeting. The three reso lutions were carried, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MR. RUOESSEN, M.P., ON THE REFORM QUE. - TION. —Mr. Hugemen, M.P., addressed a meeting of the Deal Liberal Association on Thursday evening, and in the Douse of • long speech, in which he entered fully into the objections he entertains to the government Reform Bill, he criticised strongly the conduct of those who had voted in antagonism to the bulk of the liberal party on the late division. He said, the fact was, there were many men in the house who were not honest in relation to the question of reform. They were admirers of Lord Pal merston, and were returned as his supporters under the shadow of his name. Lord Palmerston had the support of many men who blinked political opinion; they entered , parliament as his supporters, but had little if any political prineiples of their own. The men who would not vote on the late question were in his epinion untrue to their party. There were some afraid of voting against the government on this measure lest they should not get a reform bill this session ; but this was doing evil that good might come. He said, do right be the consequences what they may. He thought it better to vote for what he thought was right now, rather than wait the chanties of the future. It was quite clear that we must come .to household suffrage, and if so, lit it be given openly and honestly. He was not afraid of that, if they got rid of bribery and corruption. He should not be afraid of house hold suffrage, nor even of universal suffrage, in that borough, if the electors were left to the free exercise of their own judgments. He expressed his approval of the Corrupt Practices Bill, and would vote for it ; and he gave it as his opinion that all true liberals ought to stand by Mr. Gladstone. At the conclusion of the bon. mem ber's speech the following resolution was adopted:— " That this meeting desires to express its full confidence in Mr. Gladstone as leader of the liberal party in the House of Commons, and its entire satisfaction at the vote of the senior representative of this borough (Mr. Knateh bull Hugessen) in favour of Mr. Gladstone's recent amend ment on the Reform Bill," which was seconded by Mr. Lush, and carried unanimously. MR. A. J. OTwAY, M.P., AND THE ELECTORS OF CIIATICAL.—On Saturday evening Mr. A. J. Otway, the member for Chatham, addressed a crowded meeting of his constituents in that borough, on the present aspect of the reform question, and the duty of the liberal party. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Baird, and on the platform were the leading supporters of the liberal party in the borough. M.. Otway expressed his strong opposition to the govern mentihill .and his oonfidence in Mr. Gladstone seam leader of the liberal party. On the motion of Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Black (two working men), the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : "That this meeting, having ' beard the views expressed by Mr. A. J. Otway on the question of reform and on other important matters, hereby declares him to be worthy of the support of this borough. And this meeting cannot allow the opportunity to par without acknowledging the great services he his rendered to the liberal cause, and also to the country, for the firm and determined part that be took in so ably advocating the abolition of the lash, and the meeting urges upon him the necessity of following up this humane question." Mr. Otway having briefly acknowledged the compliment, three cheers were given each for Mr. Otway Mr. Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Bright, after which the proceedings terminated. QUERETT MICROSCOPICAL CUM.—The monthly meeting was held on the 26th inst. at University College, Mr. Ernest Hart, President, in the chair. Dr. Ratliff.: described his ingenious method of obtaining thin sections of insects, eoft vegetable finites, minute seeds, Sic., by im mersion in wax and afterwards slicing them upon the ordinary section table. Mr. Higgins gave • lengthened and interesting description of the " otolithes" or carbon's of fishes, to the study of which he has devoted himself with remarkable industry for the last 18 years. The result of many thousand examinations of fossil and recent fish has enabled him with positive accuracy to identify sprite, and in teeny instances genera. His remarks were illus trated by an extensive series of " otolithes," which were displayed in ewes in the room containing spe cimens °MAI:led from the largest to the smallest fish, both fresh. water and marine. The meeting, which was attended by upwards of 130 members and their friends, terminated with a conversations. Eight members were elected. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (azursa's rin.soLtais.) THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. PARIS, APRIL 28, EVENING. The France, Patrie, and Etenclard of this even ing publish intelligence confirming the acceptance by France and Prussia of a conference on the basis of the neutralization of Luxemburg. The Etendard says :—" It remains to be determined whetherthe engagement to evacuate the fortress of Luxemburg will be made by Prussia prior to the assembling of the conference, or whether it will only be the consequence of the latter. The discus sion of this delicate point will be opened to-morrow at Berlin, but we may now already look upon the meeting of a conference at London as certain." VIENNA, APRIL 28, Evesfuro. It is stated that the Duke de Grammont has declared to Baron von Beust that France gives up all ideas of territorial aggrandisement, and demands only the evacuation of the fortress of Lnxeinbarg. 'When this demand is complied with France will observe the most conciliatory consideration for the military susceptibilities of Prussia. Austria sup , ports the views of France. HUNGARY.

THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. —The Patin correspondent of the Court Journal announces that the Empress of the French is again enceinte. We leave all the responsibility for this singularly opportune " secret" to the well-informed imagination of our contemporary. THE STATE OF THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE. —A letter from Trieste informs us that the Empress Charlotte is a prey to the greatest anxiety, in consequence of the ab sence of direct news from her august consort. Communi cations between Vera Cruz and Mexico being interrupted, it is nearly two months since her Majesty has received a letter from the Emperor, whom she knows to be exposed to the dangers of war. One fact especially increases her alarm ; she haa lately learned from the journals that wish ing to give an example to his troops,. Maximilian has nearly paid dearly for his courage, slime his orderly officer was killed at his side by a bell from the enemy. The doctors fear that the prolongation of this wearying uncertainty will react in a prejudicial manner on the mind of the Empress.—Gafiglioni. A SUFFOLK CLEIDGIMAN AND NIB PARISHIONERS. —lt will be remembered that " Brother Ignatius " was introduced to the eastern counties some four years since by the Rev. G. Drury, rector of Claydon, Suffolk—a gentleman who has made his parish and himself notorious byhis ritualistic tendencies. For the last four years a very disorderly state of things has prevailed at Claydon. A few weeks since the Needham Market magistrates sent two lade to prison for misbehaving themselves by drinking beer out of a bottle, and being guilty of other unseemly con duct while in the church; and upon the return of these lads to theiriholues a number of other boys were ready to receive them, and the party proceeded to the rectory with sticks and staves, and commenced making hideous noises. A night or two since, the church doors having been inad vertently left open, a party of villagers proceeded to ran sack the church. A large cross, about four feet high, two flower vases, and four wax candles were taken from the altar. The candles were broken up, and the muss was smashed and carried in fragments about the village. A criminal prosecution will, it is stated, be the upshot of these lawless proceedings. THE INDIA AND ' CHINA MAILS. By the arrival of the above mails we have re ceived advice; from Bombay to April 3 ; Calcutta, March 27 ; Colombo, March 90; Hong Kong, March 15, &o. --- . CHINA. The present mail brings us the translation of a memorial of the Foreign-offioe at Pekin on Western education, which the Overland China Mail con- ' eiders the most interesting document which the Chinese government has ever promulgated. It seta forth that the time has come for change in the education of its officials, and adduces • series of arguments in support of its views. The memorial informs its readers " that the germ of Western sciences is in fact originally bor rowed from the heaven-sent elements of Chinese lmowlege. The eyes of Western philosophers hav ing been turned towards the East, and the genius of these men being minutely painstaking . and apt for dilgent thought, they have succeeded in pursu ing study to new results. For these they have usurped the name of sciences brought from over see • but in reality the methods (of their philo ' phy) are Chinese methods. This 1/ the case with astronomy and mathematics, and it is equally so with the remaining sciences. China has originated the method, which Europeans have received as an inheritance." In its comments on this memorial the Mail says : The present memorial should satisfy the most eager advocates of progress in China. Barely seven years have elapsed since our victorious troops entered Peking, and now a final blow has been administered to the most ehe risked tradition of the empire —that there is but one country, one language, one mode of study to be respected and enforced. With this before us, we may Wert that there are yet hopes for the " sick man" of China. We are not of course sanguine that so radical a change in the education of Chinese youth will for many years become popular. The present memorial refers simply to one special college and does not make the study of foreign arts and languages compulsory on all who seek an official career. The thin end of the wedge is however introduced, and further reforms in the educational system of the country must follow in its wake. Could the Chinese government be induced to recognise the institutions in this colony devoted to the training of Chinese youth, by offering annually two or more small official appointments to those students who most distinguished themselves, they would streogthon their hands. We cannot, however, hope that this will be done yet. But in the not very distant future, we may almost foresee that a course of education at the colleges of either Peking or Hong Kong. will be the best stepping ' stone to an official coma. in China. Several Portuguese have been apprehended on the west coast, being found kidnapping. They were captured by the Chinese. The Royal Mail 'Company's steamship Rhone, Captain Woolward, with the West India and Pacific mails, arrived at Southampton on Satur day. She brings 113 passengers, specie 483,973 dollars and the following cargo, viz., 63 serons of cochineal, 355 cases of cigars, 909 ags of cocoa, 198 bags of coffee, 34 boxes of live plants, 223 bales of bark, 218 bales of indiarubber, and 107 packages of sundries. SournAwrrois, APRIL 29.—The North German Lloyd steamer Hermann, from New York on the 18th, I passed the Needles at 1.5 a.m. So-day.—Reuter's Dch yrons. &mitre Marrero Berst.—The people of Bath, on Thursday evening, added their voice to the diapason for reform now resounding through the co.tntry, by holding a public meeting at the Guildhall, " for the of expressing an opinion upon the government fii7o ' r ° m se Bill." The meeting was convened by his worship the mayor, Mr. William Thompson, in complianos with irtsquisitin presented to him, sad at the request of the memorialists his worship also presided. He was supported upon the platform by Mr. Donald Dalrymple, of Norwich, who has been invited to contest the second seal for the representation of Bath, on liberal principles, at the next election ; Mr. McLaren M.P. for Edinburgh ; Alderman Hunt, and many ci tizens who take an active part in political matters, including wand members of the Working Men's Reform Association. The body of the room was also crowded, chiefly by the classes seeking en franchisement, but comprising also a large share of present voting power. Though the proceedings were not of a per fectly unanimous character, they were all the more demon. etrative of the overwhelming feeling in favour of a reel, honest settlement of the reform question, and against the pretentious and tricky measure of the tory government. The meeting was occasionally boisterous beyond what is usual even at our most excitable political gatherings, but this was a natural result of the attempt made by one or two citizens to bolster up the government sham.—Sean's Balls Journal. _ _ _ _ WESLEYAN CHINA MIBB/ON.-011 Saturday morn ing, at the London T►vern, a public breakfast wan held, attended by over 700 ladies and gentlemen connected with the Wesleyan body, to promote the objects of the above mission. Mr. Sheriff Lycett was in the chair, and he stated that their purpose in assembling was to advocate the cause of the China Mission, in connexion with which there were five missionaries in Canton and three in Hankow; five preaching places in Canton, scot one in F►tshaa. The number of church members, though small—being only 50 or 60—was steadily increasing. Both preaching places and schools were well attended. There were seven catechists and four school teachers, and they had under their care 220 Ail. dren, who were daily receiving instruction in the Christian religion. Certainly the efforts of the mission could not as yet be said to be crowned with any great success, but that was owing to the difficulties inseparable from dealing with people whose antipathy toward. foreigners was so great as in the case of the Chinese, and whose attachment to their own ancient form of worship was so deep-rooted. Besides, their language was very difficult to acquire. He urged the claims of the mission to the support of the Wesleyan body. The report stated that for two years there had been esta blished at Hankow, under the care of Dr. Porter Smith, a medical mission, through which 20,000 patients had been relieved. Resolutiona of sympathy with the objects of the mission were carried, the gentlemen speaking to them comprising ministers who had laboured as missionaries in China. _ _ DRATH OF LORD LLANOVIR. —Lord Llanover died on Saturday, at his house in Great Stanhope-street, May-fair, after severe sufferings. The deceased will long be remembered for his consistent and unswerving liberalism, as well as for hie undoubted acuteness of intel lect and his high administrative ability. He was a stanch politician, an excellent friend, and, in every sense of the word, "an honest man." The deceased nobleman was the eldest son of Benjamin Hall, M.P., of Henson Castle, Olamorganshire. He was born in 1802, and con sequently was at the time of his death 66 years of age. He received his education at Westnunsterand Christ church, Oxford, and first entered parliament as member for Monmouth in 1831. In November, 1837, be was elected for the borough of Marylebone, which consti tuency he continued to represent until June. 1869, when he was elevated to the peerage with the title of Lord Llanover. Previous to his acceptance of office Sir Benja min Hall took a leading and active part in the discussions in the House of OOMMOLIII on questions affecting the church establishment. In August, 1854, be accepted the office of Presidert of the Board of Health, which he held until August of the following year, when he accepted the post of First Commissioner of Works. It was during has tenure of that office that Sir Benjamin Hall introduced the measure for the local government of the metropolis under which the present Metropolitan Board of Works was elected, and made such great improvements in the parks of the metropolis. He WWI created a baronet in 1838, privy councillor in 1854, and Lord Llanover in 1859, THE New BANKRUPTCY BILL.—A deputation, consisting of Mr. S. S. Lloyd and other members of the special committee of the Association of the Chamber of Commerce of the United Kingdom, bad a lengthened in terview on Friday with the Attorney• General, Sir John Bolt, in reference to the above bill. A copy of the altera tions and amendments proposed by the association with regard to certain points of detail bad been previously fur nished. The deputation warmly expressed their gratifica tion with the general principles of the measure proposed by the government ; and the Attorney-General, who re ceived the suggestions made in a most courteous and con siderate manner, promised to have the bill reprinted with such amendments as the governmen i t y nai ht adopt, and to urge it forward with all convenient Ox FORD, APRIL 27. —OM EL COLLRO R. —The following gentlemen have this day been elected to the vacant scholarship at Oriel College, of the annual value of fiW., with rooms rent free, and tenable for five years : John Reeve Brooke, from Haileybury College, and Robert Cornish, exhibitioner of Oriel College.

This establishment opened for the season on Saturday with Mozart's Le Nom di Ilkszro—the east in 1 1 all important respects the same as that of last year. T►e Countess of blink. ntiens, and the Susanna of Mille. Sinico are well known as excellent performances, in each instance exemplifying a versatility that is as ram as it is admir►ble—both fades being apparently se much at home in comic as in serious opera. The exquisite mimic of Mozart's Figaro, light and even heartlese as is the subject of the opera, contains so much of that tender sentiment and earnest passion which were essentials of his nature, that it gains in ex pression at the hands of singers whose powers are equal to the demands of lyric tragedy. Signor Arditi received a warm greeting on his first entry into the orchestra. At the conclusion of theopera the National Anthem was sung by the chorus, with a semi-chorus of the principal vocalists and one verse solo by Mdlle. Titiens. The house was very full ; and the success of the opening performance, with the interest of forthcoming novelties, promises well for the present season of lire Majesty's Theatre. CRYSTAL PALACE. The usual aeries of the excellent Saturday con certs at this establishment terminated on April 13, since when, however, two extra soneerts have been given, at the first of which {on Saturday week) Mendelseohn's " Lob geeing "(Hymn of Praise) was the chief feature; while the concert of Saturday last brought forward en impor tant and interesting novelty—a pianoforte concerto by Mr. Benedict, performed for the fin* time on this occasion by Madams Arabella Goddard. The work is extremely difficult to execute ; but, as there is scarcely a page that does notcontain passages calculated to interest as well as to improve the player, it forms a most valuable study. 0(16 execution by Madame Goddard It would be impossible to speak in too high terms—the an. erring certainty of finger, the combination of masculine power with feminine delicacy of touch, the perfect finish of every passage, with the distinct phrasing throughout, and the graceful expression thrown into the slow move ment, constituted a performance of a moat remarkable order. Loud and prolonged applause was bestowed both on the player and the composer, who conducted the work himself—Mr. Manna presiding, as usual, over the other por Lions of the concert,which included an admirably finished performance of Bethoven's symphony in A (N 0.7 ). The vocal ist. were Misses Edith Wynne and Bramer,and Mr.Wiliord Morgan ; the first-named lady having taken higher ground than usual by her excellent reading of the great dramatic seem, " Softly sighs," from Der Freysekottr, which was repeated from the prayer movement. On Saturday next the usual series of " Opera concerts" will commence. Herr Jaell, the eminent pianist, has just arrived, and will perform for the first time this season on Tuesday next, at Mr. Austin's concert, at St. James's•ball. Mr. Austin, who is much esteemed by artists and visitors for his efficient management of the concert arrangements at thin establishment, has also secured the co-operation of Madame Maria Tilde and Mr. Suns Reeves, besides other artists of eminence. THE MARRIAGE OF PROFESSOR FAWCETT, M.P. A mari t ege took place on Tuesday at Aldeburgh, Suffolk, which will be regarded with special interest, inas much as it united in w edl ock no less distinguished • per imago than Henry Fawcett, Esq., M.P., Professor of Poli tical Economy at Cambridge, and Miss Millicent Garrett, daughter of Haman Garrett, }Sm., of Alde House, Alde burgh, and sister to the gifted lady Miss Elizabeth Gar rett, L.S.A., who is General Medical Attendant of the Bt. Mary's Dispensary for Women and Children in London, and one of the few ladies who have enocesetully under gone the study and toil necessary to pin a diploma as a medical practitioner. In consequence of a recent bereavement in the family of the bride, the wedding was not marked either by the family or by the townspeople with so much rejoicing as would otherwise have been ex hibited. Whatever manifestations of joy the inhabitants were not precluded from making, they made with • warm and medial feeling, and nothing could be more evident than the desire of all that the marriage may result in the fulfilment of all the happiness which is presaged for it. A number of flags were hoisted in honour of the event. The happy pair arrived at the parish church at half-past 10 o'clock, and by that time the building was densely I crowded, and a large number of spectators were assembled outside. The bride, whe is young, looked very lovely. She was attired in white satin, wreath of orange blos soms, and tulle veil, and WM attended by four brides maids—Misr Agnes Garrett, Miss Josephine Garrett, her sisters, Miss Rhoda Garrett, her cousin, and Miss Fawcett, sister to the professor. Mr. and Mrs. Newson Garrett, the father and mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, the father and mother of the bridegroom, were also present, with several members of the Garrett family, and Mr. Tom Fawcett, brother to the bridegroom. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. T. Howler, M.A., vicar of Aldeburgh, ammted by the Rev. Jas. Porter, Fellow and Tutor of St. Peter's College, Cam bridge. The prayers were fervently joined in by those present. At • quarter past o'clock the newly-married couple took leave of their friends. Their departure was affecting, and they drove off under • perfect shower of slippers from the household, every member of which wished them a heartfelt " God sped." Professor and Mrs. Fawcett left the Campo y Ache station for their town residence, 42, Bessborough-gardens, London. In the drawing-room and dining-room at Aide House a very large number of wedding presents from the friends of the bride and bridegroom were to be seen. The most valuable in • pecuniary sense wee • massive and costly repeating chronometer, which was presented to Professor Fawcett by the resident fellows of Cambridge University ; and as exquisitely beautiful silver inkstand, formed from the dower of • water-lily, the base for which consisted of lily leaves charmingly arranged. This was presented to Professor Fewest' by one of his constituents, Mr. H. Willett—Cambridge Independent. TES LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO THE JAPANESE.—A special performance was given on Friday by the Japanese troupe, at the Floral-hall, in honour of the Lord Mayor. His lordship was accompanied by the Lady Mayoress, the Misses Gabriel, Mr. Gibbs, the secretary of the Lord Mayor, and a party of friends. The boys of the Blueooat School, numbering about 750, were also invited. The per formance appeared to give great satisfaction to all, the Bluecoat boys being loud in their expressions of approval. Asskichi, as the tiger, was never so effective in this/clever piece of pantomime, and Gainsi's tope flew about in a ' more magical way than ever. At the conclusion of the performance the Lord Mayor, the Lady blavorese, and their friends expressed how much they were pleased with thuerformance. PARIS EXHIBITION.—VISITS OF TB-WHIMS. —The following minute has been recently passed by the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education. —" I. In accordance with the practice of the Science and Art Department at the International Exhibitions at Paris in 1855 and London in 1862, my lords consider it desirable to offer encouragement to the masters teaching in Schools of Science and Art to visit the present International Exhi bition at Paris, with the view of studying those objects which may be likely to benefit the instruction given in such school'. 11. Their lordships therefore announce to the certificated masters now engaged in giving instruction in schools of Science and Art connected with the depart ment, that they will pay to each such router or mistress visiting the Paris Exhibition the sum of five pound. in aid of their expenses, and to each an additional sum of two pounds for any report or any useful suggestions which any such teacher may make (in respect to his or her duties or teaching) derived from the study of the Exhi bition, such report having first been published in any journal, local or otherwise, and afterwards approved by their lordships. 111. And further, to each of the three beat of such reports i referrin' g to instruction in science and to each of the three best reports referring to art, my lords will give respectively the following prizes in addition to the sum above named, namely,—For science, for the best report, twenty pounds ; for the second best report, fifteen pounds; and fur the third beet report, ten pounds ;. and the same sums respectively to the three best reports for art." Tuuarra V. BROADSIDES. —On the let of May Captain Cowper P. Coles will deliver a lecture on the above subject at the Royal United Service Institution. The subject is one of the greatest interest at the present time, and we have no doubt that a lecture from the inventor of the turret will draw a large audience, and have an im• portant effect in altering the present system of broadside ahiphuilding. —United Service Oozed... 111IDLAND RAILWAY.—This company has pur chased sweaty awes of land at Wellingboro' for the purpose of erecting shops for the manufacture and repair of engines and plant. It is stated that employment will be given in the shops to several hundred workmen.

The Holborn branch of the Reform League has, from its oriigin, displayed vigoroua activity. Last year the members of this brunch composed the vanguard of the various out-doordamonstrations that ultimately culminated in the Hyde-park affair, and this they knee held a lassies of Sunday even* meetings upon; year Clerkenwell.green with the unexpected result of having laid themselves %m to the imputation of being . indifferent to the dictates of religion. Deeply sensitive . in the matter, and being z3Zy de ozia= a upo tte pu tr . istace of con such ng iatabyara hold ing " • 'pedal camp meeting of t cl ie radical reformers of Finsbury " who, it appears, include most of their mem ber' and iriends, at which the question could be put, " if thou think'st on heav'n's bliss Hold up thy hand ; make sign of that hope." • - - This gathering was appointed for yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, and it was arranged that after bearing two or three addressee and adopting a reform resolution the members and their friends should go in procession to attend Divine service at St. Alban's the Martyr, Baldwin's-gar dens, Holborn, the church which has recently become so prominent an object in the ritualistic controversy. A por table platform was erected in front of the Session-house on the green, and soon after she hour named Mr. Samuel Owen, who was called upon to preside, explaned the motives which had influenced the Holborn branch in hold ing that particular meeting, which he was glad to observe wee so well and respectably attended. He admitted that away arealsees oa yr woad' of the Lague WOW dior ama opposed to Beady agitation, but hosed hismudjuters felt that it was only on that day that the working-man could Gad leisure to take part in their diecussions, and therefore it wasproposed to continue them throughout the various metro peahen districts. He also found fault with the unchristian opposition of the temperance society, who upon this to momentous occasion had transferred their platform from the opposite side of the green to a spot adjacent to their own. —Mr. J. Finlan then addressed the meeting, de nouncing the government measure of reform as falling far short of what working men desired and were entitled to, and intimating that the joint committees of the Holborn branch had pledged themselves to marsh into Hyde-park en the 6th proximo at all risks. He • emulation in favour of manhood sof - proposede ri protected by the ballot, which was seconded by Mr. Osborne, who estimated that the Hyde perk meeting would be attended by at least • quarter of • million of people, and he expressed • hope that the government would have the good sense not to attempt to pat it down by means of "a brutal police and • hired soldiery." Soon after this resolution had been tarried the members of the Marlborough branch of the Lague, who had previously mustered in Lincoln's-inn-fields, came upon the spot, escorted by • military band, and the pro ' cession being now formed the members proceeded to the church. The pretension was headed by the officers of the two branches, who wore their scarfs, and, besides the banners of the branches, bearing the inscription Is. The Pioneers of Liberty," two red flags were carnal, surmounted with the cap of liberty. On the route the reform minstrels sang, "We will rally round the League, boys" Arrived at the church by mesas of the intricate and densely populated windings of the locality, the members were admitted in batches, until every seat on the floor was completely packed, when the gates were closed and the choral service which lasted upwards of an hour, began at 5 o'clock. At its termination the Rev. A. H. Mackonochie, the incumbent, amended the pulpit, to deliver, as it was at the moment supposed, becalms it had been so announced, a sermon " specially dedicated to reformers generally," but his exhortation had no reference whatever to the secular aspect of that subject. The rev, gentleman took for his text part of the 14th verse of the let chapter of St. John's Gospel— ' " And the Word was made flesh." He commence.' by wing that it was with • deep feeling of thankfulness to Almighty God that he had been permitted to devote a special service, and to preach to a great body of working men, for it was a common accusation sgainst the clergy of the church that their ministrations concerned women sad children rather than men. At the close of the ser vice, which occupied very nearly two hours, and was devoutly participated in throughout, the members with their friends, their band, and their banners, returned in the lame processional order to Clerkenwell-green, where they sang, " The Song of the Lower Classes, by Ernest Jones, another called " Base Oppression," " Leave your Slumbers," " Scots who hae," and the National Anthem. Some further addresses were also delivered, and shortly after dusk the assemblage quietly dispersed. THE TAILORS STRIKE. _ 1 MEETING OF TILE MASTERS. On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the master tailors of the metropolis, called by the Master Tailors' Association of the United Kingdom, was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of deciding what steps should be taken to meet the strike of the journey men. The meeting was s very numerous one, and the greatest unanimity prevailed throughout. The number of gentlemen present was 3's9, and included representatives of most, if not all, the leading West-end firma. Mr. ROBERT Lewis, of St. James's-street, the president of the blaster Tailors' Association, was called to the chair, and was supported on the platform by Mr. H. J. Poole (Saville-row), R. Wain (Stulz and Co.), the Mears. Hill (Bond-street), Messrs. K. and E. Macallan, Mr. J. H. Soialpage (Conduit-street), Mr. T. D. Landon, Mr. T. Bowater, Mr. K. Burnett (Conduit-street), Mr. Joel Edward:, Mr. J. B. Johnstone, Mr. E. S. Lawrence (Coleing and Lawrence), Mr. Cutler, &e. The resolution agreed to was as follows :—" That in tZtr:sinion of this meeting the time log of the Amalga- Society, presented by the London operative tailors to their employers, is unfair, and ought to be resisted ; and that the action of the blaster Tailors' Association of the United Kingdom in resisting it is entitled to the full support of the trade, and this meeting pledges itself to give them their supp ort in every way in their power." The CHAIRMAN announced that the number of members of the Master Tailors' Association was 1141, and that a stun of 5,5h71. had been already subscribed to meet the neces sary expenses of the resistance of the demands of the workmen. There was little doubt that the contest would last some time, and he recommended that the meeting should be adjourned until that day month. Mr. Raessiwitorr suggested that the adjournment should be until that day fortnight, but upon the chairman reminding him that the committee could call a meeting earlier if they thought it necessary ho did not press his amendment. Mr. HIRON. Leadenhall•street, described the suffering which had been caused at the east end of London by strikes, and expressed his belief that it was not the fault of the men, but of those satellites, the agitators, that the present movement had been undertaken. (Cheers. ) The motion for the adjournment was agreed to, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair- man. The committee of the Journeymen's Protection Asso ciation, in reply to the decision at the masters' meeting, state that they are quite prepared to accept •he wage of battle which was there throws stows, and that they were determined to maintain their position by every possible means. They further express their confidence that they shall succeed. They say that eight or nine of the masters have already agreed to the " time-log," and they entertain little doubt that others will soon follow their example. Every trade movement of the master. is care fully noted ; and as some of the leaser masters have taken their work to make up, the men will be called out from those shops unless they refuse to do any more. The statement of the employers that these at Manchester had locked out their hands is denied, as their rules prevent them doing so until after the masters' and men's committees have met, and been unable to agree, which meeting has not yet been held. The Protective Association do not pro• pale to take any further steps than those which they have adopted during the present week, though they affirm their readinesa, if compelled, to order a strike throughout the country, and then throw themselves upon other trades I unions. On Friday and Saturday last a large number of female tailoreases joined the society, paying their 2s. levy the same as the men. They are so numerous that arrange ments are to be inade to form a women's society as a branch of the association. Tim numbers on strike, both men and women, will be largely increased after to-day, meetings of the outworkera being called in the different districts in support of the strike. REFORM MEETING AT GLASGOW. —A reform meeting was held on Friday night in the City-hall, Glas gow ; and resolutions were passes! specifying the faults and omissions in the government Reform Bill, and declar ing that the proposal of a 5/. rating qualification was as little calculated to settle the question of reform as the government measure, and that the only true and perma nent basis of representation consisted of manhood suffrage and the ballot. THE SCHOOL FRIDAYR CONW AY, AND Mg. JAMES BISZLET, or LIVERPOOL—Mr. James Beasley, who since the establishment of the school frigate Con way, to the Mersey, has tilled the office of chairman of the committee, was on Saturday presented by members of the committee and their friends with his portrait in oil. The ceremony took place at the rooms of the Mercantile Maria* Service Association, the presentation being made through Mr. S. B. Graves, M.P., who paid a high tribute to the public services of Mr. Beasley in connection with the improvement of the Mercantile Marine Service. Mr. Laird, M.P., who was present, heartily joined in this tribute. The portait, which is by Robertson, is an excellent likeness, and a duplicate has been prepared by the artist to hang in the rooms of the Marine Service Association. I '1
