LEECH, DOYLE, AND TENNIEL.—Leech, Doyle, and Tenniel are our last triad of workmen in black and white. The first was supreme in observation and correct rapidity. The second combines originality with high re finement, and wonderful power of seizing and exaggerating the leading feature of a face. This probably is great part of the reason why his works always make one laugh so very much. He is the inventor, we rather think, of mediaeval burlesque caricature (lately revived by others with the greatest spirit in the " Ballad of Branninghindia" in Puna). His " Continental Tour of Brown, Jones, and Robinson" showed great power over national expression , of face ; and his Derby and Brighton crowds seem to us a good deal better than Mr. Ynth's, at a much cheaper rate. Mr. Tenniel is in many respects the moat accomplished character draughtsman who is left to us. Like John Lewis, he seems to have learned very much from careful study of animals, at some early point of his career in the way of subtle expression ; and as Punch is in the hands of all adults, and " Alice's Adventures" are the delight of all children (and parents), the illustrator of both those works need' little comment from us. It is hard to say how great • loss we have sustained by Leech's early death. Had he been honoured as well as paid—had he been recognised by the Academy as the head of our modern school of domestic character drawing in black and white, he would not have passed away, as he seems to have done, unaware of his great powers and their possible influence for good. We may be said to have lost in him the man of all the world who produced the greatest amount of beauty with the least amount of trouble ; who showed the greatest rapidity and the greatest subtlety; who could create without seeming to know it ; who could draw a woman in her beauty, a man in his strength, and a horse in his stride ; who could treat degrading subject without being degraded, and often lift things out of vulgarity . or imbecility by humour, or tenderness, or pathos, or righteous indignation, or even sublimity—or by inextinguishable laughter; whose range of feeling was never ascertained or spanned, who drew and delighted old, young, and mildle-aged, and never g ace a hint of evil pleasure ; and yet who seems to have had no notion but that it was good for him to illustrate the adventures of Mr. Soapey Sponge. —Contaniora ry Review, October number. THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. —The total of the account will then stand thus:—An Indian career in the civil service holds out • certain ty . of interesting work, good pay , honourable position , fair pension, and reason able independence. But these secular advantages are purchased by twenty-two years of actual exile, by loneliness and isolation, by the endurance of the numberless trials of a tropical climate, by the chances of death or of impaired health and energy, and by the more than chance of separation from children and wife. The disadvantages are so manifold as to almost outweigh the solid benefits, emoluments, or curtail the privileges, and we feel quite certain that any measures tending to lower the emolument of the Indian civil ser vice would still more diminish the number of candidates for admission to that body. The system of competition has been just eleven years before the public, and on its triaL The time will soon come when an impartial re. view of its merits and demerits will no longer be impos sible. All we need now say is, that the competitive exa mination pretends to do no more than to test the qualities which can be fairly brought within the compass of ques tion and answer, and that, by this criterion, dulness and incapacity, such as were formerly allowed to pass through •Harleybury into the service, have been properly excluded. On the other hand, it is, we believe, fully admitted that the candidates who have headed the lists of the compe titionen are not one whit superior to the best men for merly turned out from the East India College, in point of scholarship, refinement of taste, variety of accomplish ments, or of solidity and depth of knowledge.—Fmocr's Magazine for October. Br a AFRICAN RIVER. —The soil is firm and dry on these open tracts of jungle, and they abound in every part with a variety of insect life. Huge beetles drone past, and threaten to extinguish one of your eyes in thiir reckless flight. Richly-coloured dragon-flies dart about, and settle coquettishly on dead branches and earth heaps, for which they seem here to have a decided preference. The busiest of tiresome flies in every possible shape and colour buzz around with obtrusive intimacy, while elegant and beautiful butterflies float in the sunlight, or vanish over the palms and shrubs like living gems. The great green mangrove fly, with his yellow head, skims past, keeping up a continued moan ; and it is very well if he does pass, let me tell you, or a pang like that of some one slowly pressing a thorn into your flesh will teach you to keep a sharp look out when his moaning suddenly Mops another time. Large locusts with red wings rise with a whizz at your feet, apparently possessed with the idea of soon becoming a species of partridge • it is the likeliest thing in the world that you will at fi rst mistake them for quails, which rise with a similar noise , and a r e r eall y onl y a size larger. Then, what myriads of ants on the ground — seine lively little red or black fellows, others with red bodies and grey-coloured extremities. It is most amusing to watch their movements as they seem to run to and fro on impossible errands, and come into violent collision, afterwards amicably arranged in brief conferen ce s on sandy patches, where they bustle and wind shout in an everlast ing maze of motion. These ants are harmless, and may be seen wherever the surface is dry and exposed ; but others of a most ferocious character, half an inch long,and armed with a formidable pair of jaws likehookedandsharp pointed forceps, are to be found in moist and sheltered places. They travel in long compact lines about a couple of inches in width, and by all means give them a wide berth if they are seen crossing the path, or perhaps making their way by your shaded resting-place; otherwise you will probably discover their propensities in a rather unpleasant way. Only touch one of them with your boot, and—if you are foolish enough to despise " knickerbockers "—not less than a hundred will be up inside your trousers and over your person in an instant, where fixing their nippers in the parts you mast cherish,they will writhe, and pull, and wrench like absolute little fiends, and seem as if they would tear out your very flesh if their rage could give them the power. There is nothingfor it but to strip yourself of every particle of clothing, and pick them off one by one with your fingers as patiently as the pain permits. —The Argosy for October. TiILFGRAPLUC INTELLIGENCE. (uvrzies nuaGRAK.)' THE RIFLE MEETING AT BRUSSELS. BittreEKLS, Oct. It The rifle meeting of the Belgian Tir commenced to-day.

AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. 12. The New Free Press of this evening saYs :—"The Emperor will set out upon a tour through Bohemia on Wednesday next. Prior to his departure the Hungarian Diet will be convoked, and an imperial patent will be issued announcing that as soon as the negotiations with the Diet have been brought to a satisfactory conclusion, a Hungarian ministry will be formed." Councillor Pretis leaves to-morrow for Paris, on a a mission connected with the negotiations for the Franoo-Austrian treaty of commerce. ITALY. FLOItENCE, Ocr. 12. The Italians have now completely occupied Pee chiera, Mantua, and Borgoforte. The officers of the King's household will proceed to Padua.

In the Senate to-day the President read a reso lution appointing a committee of five to make the preliminary examination in the trial of Admiral Persano. The Senate then adjourned till the 22nd instant. The Government has decided that an Italian Legation shall be accredited to the Government of Wurtemberg. The Italie of this evening announces that a con vention was signed yesterday between the Govern ment and the Roman Railway Company. "By this convention the Government undertakes no new obligation, but places the company in a position to ' fulfil its engagements. The overdue coupon of the old Roman bonds will be paid in cash. It is be lieved that other companies will sign similar con ventions." VENETIA. VENICE, Oct. 11. At the request of General Revel, all the political prisoners in Venice were set at liberty to-day. THE DISURRECTION IN CANDIA. PARIS, Ocr. 12. The Mmiteur du Stir in its bulletin says " Intelligence received from the East does not confirm the successes attributed to the insurgents. The latest news states that the serious character of the insurrection had subsided, and the public mind was becoming appeased." The Patric of this evening publishes a telegram from Canes, dated the sth inst., stating that the leaders of the insurgents had sent a deputation to Kiritli Pacha, offering to enter into negotiations for submission to the Turkish authorities on condition that the conferences to be held for that purpose should take place in presence of the consuls of France, England, and Russia. This con dition was accepted. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 11. There are already 30,000 troops of the line in Epirus and Thessaly, and further reinforcements will be sent to those provinces from Schumla. Tho head-quarters of the Pacha in command are in Macedonia. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, Ocr. 12 Prince Stirbey has again been sent to Constan tinople.

Advises received here from Japan report the outbreak of civil war. Three engagements had taken place between Prince Chosin and the Tycoon, which were stated to have proved favourable to the latter. The Gorogio had requested the consent of the foreign ministers to the closing of the inland sea during the hostilities, but had received no reply.l The Bliah insurgents have been defeated near Siberia. ITALY. (PROW ova OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FLORENCE. Oar. 10. A remarkable pamphlet has been written and published at Milan (Zanotti) by Profesaor Yillari, tho well known author of the " Life of Savo narola," which has attracted considerable atten tion. It is entitled "Di chi 6la Colpa I" " Whose . Fault is It r And the question is one which Italy has the utmost reason to ask, and to which she is most eagerly bent on obtaining an answer• Whose fault is it that everything has gone wrong I—that the sacrifices which the nation has made in such abundance have borne no fruit—that her valour has obtained no victories—that even good fortune, while fulfilling her desires, has left her discon- tented with herself and humiliated I 'Whose fault is all this I People of all classes, in every one of the hundred cities of Italy, are now eagerly asking the same question. There is, therefore, nothing remarkable in the subject-matter of Signor Villari's pamphlet. It is the answer which he gives to this question, which is so new as to have attracted a far more than usual degree of attention to his publication. The first cursory glance at the pages of it show that it absolutely does not contain the name of any single individual. This, in the political literature of Italy, is a most striking novelty. It is especially astonishing in a work destined to supply an answer to the question propounded by Signor Villari. Everybody is ready with replies to this question ; but nobody has hitherto dreamed of giving the answer which Signor Villari gives. Some anent us that the leaders of the red party, the violence of the party of action, has been the cause of all the mischief. A much greater num ber throw the onus of all the miserable miscar riages which have humiliated the country on the Piedmontese " consorteria," the knot of old Pied montese rulers, generals, and government men, who have been placed in power by the position which Piedmont inevitably held in the new order of things, and who have used that position to attempt the assimilation of all Italy to Piedmont, rather than to strive after the co-ordinkte fusion of the disparate parts of old Italy into one nation. Some are ready with the name of the Ro Galantuomo, in answer to the questioners as to the doer of all the evil which has been done. Some accuse Cialdini very many more accuse La Marmora ; some blame Ricasoli ; some are very angry with the Chambers. No one, I think, has ventured to blame Garibaldi. But, with that one exception, every public man and every pnblic body in turn has been by some section of the public accused of being the main fees et origo of the evil past doings and present condition of the country. Signor Villari's answer to the question—Why has all gone wrong, why has Italy shown herself incapable, weak, and consequently un succesaful, is that the fault lies with the Italians themselves, with the public, with every man in his own sphere—with the universal ignorance and idleness. He shows how almost inevitably under the circumstances of the formation of tho new nation all the offices—civil, military, muni cipal—were filled with men whose recommendation was their political opinions and their political faith, and not their aptitude for the tasks which were assigned to them. The great necessity of the moment was to find capable men. But " Italy, instead of turning all her attention to that need, persuaded herself that in order to have a nation ranking high in the esteem of Europe powerful and civilised, it was sufficient to have a free constitution, a better penal and civil code, schools, railroads, forte, canals, and a post delivery three or four times a day, Ac. But these things are the con duits through which the national life and activity should run. If this life is wanting, and nobody thinks of re-awakening it, if the roads are without travellers, the ports without ships, the schools without scholars, all these great under takings serve only to hasten our ruin and bank ruptcy." He goes on to show at length, and in detail, how all the various national shortcomings spring from individual want of work and want of effort, and endeavours to indicate the way in which each man who is anxious for the salvation of his country should at once strive by his own effort to contribute to it. This little work of 32 pages is absolutely the first voice among their own people that has been raised to tell the Italians these essentially necessary home truths. (FROM LAST :MET'S GAZETTE.)

THE LATE BISHOP OF CALCUTTA.—Just ten years ego Dr. George Edward Lynch Cotton preached the sermon in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, on the consecra tion of the present Bishop of London, by whose influence, two years afterwards, he was appointed to the chief bishop ric in India.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA. Yesterday, in consequence of a telegram having been received by the Lord Mayor from Calcutta, from the chairman of the Bengal Famine Belief Fund, and of another having arrived at the India Board almost simul taneously from Sir John Lawrence, the Viceroy of India, invoking aid from this country by means of a public sub scription, a oonference was held at the Mansion-home between the Lord Mayor and gentlemen in the City, mer chants, bankers, and others, connected with the India trade, who recently had an interview with him on the subject. The Lord Mayor said—l have thought it to be my duty to invite you here to-day, in consideration of certain letters and documents I have received bearing upon the famine, mince I had the pleasure of communicating with you on a previous occasion nearly a fortnight ago. The first is a note which I received on Friday last from Lord Cranborne, the Secretary of State for India. It is as follows :—" India-office, Oct. 6, 1866.—My dear Lord, — Sir John Lawrence has enclosed to me an extract from a letter of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal which I think it will interest you to read.—Believe me, yours faithfully, CRANBORNZ. Th e Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The enclosure was in these terms :—" Extract of a letter from the lion. Sr Cecil Beadon. Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, dated llarjeling, August, 23, 1866 : Everything now depends on the outturn of the summer harvest (called indifferently Ethadovee oust Bulls.). The general opinion is, that it will not only supply the culti c eaters with food till the winter or main crop is ready, but that, when cut, it will have an immediate effect on prices generally, and cheapen food from 50 to 100 per cent. Others think that the price of food will not be materially affected till the winter crop comes in, or at any rate till its safety is assured, and that holders will be reluctant to part with their grain as long as there is any uncertainty on this point. At any rate the coming crop, which is admitted to be everywhere a most abundant one, will greatly re lieve the existing distress, and dissipate all fears as to a sufficieney of food to support the population for the next six months. In ten days or a fortnight we shall be able to form a bettor judgment, and if the result he that there is likely to be a necessity for carrying on relief operations on anything like their present scale, I will at once ask the assistance of the Calcutta committee in raising subscrip tions for general relief both in India, and also if necessary in England." Idid not consider that those letters, so far as they went, required any particular notice or attention, but yesterday morning I received a telegrams from Mr. Stuart Hogg, chairman of the Bengal and Orissa Famine Relief Fund, and I must pause before reading it to call your attention for a moment to what I think the remark able fact that that telegram was given in at Calcutta at 11.30 on the morning of the 10th of October, Wednesday last, and was received in London at 8.25 the following morning. (Hear, hear.) The telegram from Mr. Stuart Hogg to me is as follows :—" 10th October. Owing to recent inundations distress still very severe in Orissa and parts of Bengal, and likely to continue several months more ; funds urgently required ; assistance from England earnestly solicited. Please give credit by telegraph on ' Calcutta as soon as practicable." Mr. Hogg is a son of Sir James Weir Hogg, and chairman of the Bengal and °rims Famine Fund. On the receipt of that telegram I thought it of so much importance that I went immedi ately and sought an interview with Lord Cranborne, which was promptly granted, snd while 1 was there a telegram arrived from Sir John Lawrence, the Viceroy. It was as follows :—" The Viceroy to the Secretary of State. Simla, Oct. 10.—The Benga l government consider that a subscription in England in aid of the distress in Orissa is necessary. Much must depend on the crop now in the ground. If it prove good we shall probably not require help, otherwise the3distress will become greater, anal we shall be glad of all the assistance we can get. I will report again after a little delay." That was the tele gram that Lord Cranbome, the Secretary of State, re ceived from the Viceroy himself. It then became a question with Lord Cranborne as to the course it would be desir able to take. I took the liberty to request that he would, if ho could, give me en assurance that the government in India had the means and the power to do all that was necessary in the emergency. He assured me that the Vice roy had or would have the power to raise money to any amount he pleased for such a purpose, but that the inun dations presented a new feature. My answer was, that if they' had the funds in the tint emergency, and they were nut exhausted, they would have the more power to meet the second. Ho took much the same view, and showed great interest and acted with great promptitude in the matter, for, after some consideration, he resolved there and then to send a telegram to the Viceroy, which he did in them words :—" Heavier distress reported to me in Orissa from inundations. Advance money from government funds freely and imme diately ; report to me progress of distress and prospects of mitigation." I think consequently that all that can be doue in this matter has bee n done. I consider it to be my duty to place these facts before you, gentle men, and I do not think it would be right or necessary for us to invite subscriptions here in England, while the government in India has power within itself, so far as money goes, to cope with the distress. It is due to Lord Cr:who've to say that he guarded himself by stating that there might not be any necessity to appeal to the British public uu the occasion, but that there was nu knowing what course the emergency might take. I said that the future must be governed by the future ; but that after the assurance he had given me, I saw no reason at present for rahang a subscription in England. Considerable discussion followed, but it seemed to be the general opinion that as government were doing all that lay in their power fur the mitigation of the distress, it was not desirable or neces sary that anything should be done hare at present in the way of raising a public subscription. It is now definitely arranged that the ceremony of inaugurating the new water-works by her Majesty the Queen will take place on TtleatLy afternoon at lnvercanuie. Her Majesty will leave Balmoral about one p.m., posting to Ballater, where a special train will be waiting. A private temporary platform will be erected at Inchmarlo— the nearest point on the railway to the spot where the ceremony is to take place — and thence her Majesty will be conveyed in her private carriage to the enslusure around the reservoir. The ceremony will be brief and simple. The Lord Provost will present an address—to which it is expected her Majesty will reply—and, by the aid of machinery, turn on the water, and declare the works opened. Her Majesty will leave immediately after the ceremony, and will nut stay luncheon, as was at first thought probable. The luncheon, to which about 400 are invited, will take place immediately after the Queen leaves for Balmoral. Lord Provost Anderson will preside, and it is expected that Sir Stafford Northoote, Sir James 11. Burnett, and some others will be present. About 2,000 persons are to be admitted within the enclosure to wit ness the ceremony of inaugurating the works. THE RIGHT HON. H. A. Bauer., M.P., AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—The Merthyr Tydvil Reform League intend holding a large open-air meeting in the market-place on the 29th instant, and have invited their representative, the Right Hon. Mr. Bruce, to attend. In his reply he says : if the Merthyr Reform League be an association of my constituents combined fur the purpose of promoting parliamentary reform, it will give me sincere pleasure to attend their discussion and take part in it. if, however, the Merthyr Reform League is only a branch of the London Reform League, I think I shall best ad vance the cause of moderate reform. which alone in my opinion is either practicable or desirable, if I abstain from attending a meeting and taking part in a • demuustration ' of an association which assumes as the fundaiaental prin ciple of action that nothing less than manhood suffrage can be accepted. It is try intention, under any circum stances, very shortly to invite the attendance of my con stituents both of Merthyr and Aberdare to our usual annual meeting, when I hope having the honour of laying before them a full exposition of my views on per. liamentary reform, and having the advantage of hearir . theirs." PIWKIaINO.—A literary announcement from Leipsig runs thus : " Our residers will be obliged to us for drawing their attention to some Sanscrit works which will shortly appear. We have not read the books ourselves, but, if their contents are as interesting as their titles, their perusal must be the acme of delight. The titles are : ' Swap antschakschavimahamantrastotra," TrigunaUniks kalik.ustotra," Upangalalitavratodyapana," Sankarchtat schaturthivratodyapans, and ' Anantatachaturdarivrata katha.'"—Londot Perinc. ACCIDENT IN THE CITY. —Yesterday afternoon, at about half-past 1 o'clock, an accident of a serious nature occurred to a young woman named Eliss Polybbink. It appears that as she was passing along Threadneedleatreet a van, laden with wooden crates belonging to the Great Eastern Railway Company, came oppos e her, when one of the crates fell, striking her upon the head. She was re moved in an insensible state to the office of Mr. John Payne, in Hatton-court, Threadneedle - street, by whom, it seems, she was employed, and Dr. Crosby, of Fenchurch street, sent for, who found her suffering from a severe scalp wound, a large portion of the frontal bone being ex posed, and her left hand crushed to such a degree that the soft Braes were reduced to a pulp. It is not anticipated however, that the results will prove more serious than at present unless erysipelas should supervene. ADDITIONAL JUDGER FOR LANCASHIRE.—Tester day a deputation from the Law Societies of Manchester and Liverpool, consisting _of Mr. Stephen Melia and Mr. Baker, of Manchester ; of Mr. Squarey, Mr. Hull, Mr. Lowndes, and Mr. Rogerson, of Liverpool, had an interview by ap pointment with the Earl of D er by, at Knowsley, for the purpose of pressing upon his lordship the present unsatis factory state of the trial of causes at the assizes in the County Palatine of Lancaster, and the necessity of the appointment of additional judges to transact the business of the county. CHURCH CONGRESS AT YORK MI MI CHUICH comndlrOß. Yesterday the Free Church Conference resumed their sittings from Monday list, in the De Grey Booms, York, when the Dean of York occupied the °hair. The dean, in his introductory speech, expressed his hearty approval of the objects of the society, and stated that the pnneiple of free and open churches was becoming very largely more recognised, whilst the church of the poor man waa bean( more generally adapted to hie wants. H. Clarke, Esq. of Liverpool, read • paper un "The law of seating the parishioners by the warden`" The Bishop of Dunedin, the Dean of St. Asapb, Mr. Brady (of London), the Rev. J. Sharpe (of Horbury), the Rev. J. Foley (of Market Weighton), and the Dean of Ely spoke all recognising the principle of the society, the evils of the pew system, and the !morality of the abolition of pews for the welfare of the church. The latter gentleman also remarked that in him arclideaconry one of the causes of dissent was the pew system. Other meetings of conference, were held in the afternoon and evening of yesterday. THE OONSCIECCE CLACSE. At noon yesterday (Friday) a meeting was held in the Chapter-house of York Minster, to consider the conscience clause as affecting the charter and the deeds of the national schools. The dean occupied the chair. Mr. J. G. HUBBARD, M.P., moved that a deputation be appointed to waft on the Prime Minister, and represent to him the serious injury to popular education which has resulted from the practice of the Educational Department of the Privy Council, in making the conscience clause • condition of building grants. He observed that the result of the evidence on this question was that the conscience clause for the acceptance of church school builders as • condition of grants was a bond to give secular education on demand ; that it greatly obstructed the of church building as indicated by the great dlminntion of the government building grants ; that dissenters of the labour ing classes, whether in England or Wales, enter tain generally no dislike to the religious teach ing of church schools ; that the conscience clause alleged by the Education Department to be specially requisite in Wales, is there rejected by churchmen, and is reputed as insulting and degrading by the representa tives of the nonconformist bodies, and that the means for promoting education in Wales was to make grants im partially to any school for which the requisite number of scholars could be obtained. _ The Rev. Canon TREVOR seconded the motion, stating that only the schools of the church of England were sub ject to the conscience clause, and arguing that it was un fair and unequaL The Rev. T. MYERS moved as an amendment, " That a deputation be appointed to wait on the Prime Minister and the Lord President on the subject of the conscience clause, with a view of endeavouring, after conference, to settle that difficulty in a spirit of cociliation. The Rev. R. GARYIT, of Richmond, Surrey, seconded the amendment. The Van. Archdeacon DENISON said the amendment and resolution contemplated the same thing ; and that the question was, what was conciliation ? Was it conciliation to go and deliver up to the people in Downing-stn.-14 the principles of the church of England! If that • ere concilia tion, then be would advise them to adopt the amenlment. The amendment having been withdrawn, and the original motion carried, the Lord Mayor of York, the lion. C. L. Wood, the Dean, the Rev. T. Myers, Mr. Hubbard, M.P., Canon Trevor, Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., Colonel Akroyd, M.P., the members for the city and county, Archdeacon Cburton, and Archdeacon Denison were appointed on the deputation, with power to add to their number. A vote of thanks to the dean concluded the proceedings. ADDRESS TO WORKING MEN AT SHEFFIELD. In connexion with the Autumnal Session of tho Congregatiuual Union at Sheffield, a great meeting of working VIM was held on Thursday evening in the Tem zit:ll,2o%am pentuce-hall to hear addresses from Mr. Samuel Morley and the Rev. Newman Ilia Mr. Morley, who was in is zdworkingr.u.wenfranchised, classes, fcnh ed expre s sing too h the chair, suldreased some plain and faithful advice to the t f he ng beirtei th de r i'se i tr va re seeti many evil habits which could give occasion fur argument against them. The Rev. NEWNAN HALL, LLB., who was received with loud cheers, explained that he had Leen requested b) the committee of the Congregational Union to address the working men of Sheffield, and that be complied with the request with great pleasure. lie explained the principles upon which the independent body was founded, and showed the perfect freedom from state patronage and con trol that it enjoyed. The Independents would be ashamed to take any money from the state fur the support of their religiun. He spoke of the importanceof education, and of the dangers to society that arose from ignorance, and remarked that the people must be educated by some means or other. The community that would have to suffer from children growing up ignorant, ought to see to it that nobody grew up ignorant. (Cheers.) Speaking of the reasons why so many of the working classes do out attend the public celebration of divine worship, he said that ono reason was tyranny. He thought that working men had a erfect right to demand what ever wages they could get, to combine to get those wages, end to strike if they could not get them. (Great applause.) if he went into Mr. Rodgeni's saleroom and offered tee. for a knife which was worth, in the opinion of the seller, Co, the latter would " strike " for that amount, and refuse to part with the knife for less, and be perfectly justified in doing so. The working men had time, and muscle, and labour. and skill to sell, and they had the right to demand their price, and to combine toge ther and say that they would not work for less than a stated sum per day. If the employer offered leas, they could say, "We shan't accept, and we will go home, read our paper, and enjoy ourselves." (Laughter.) The working man had clearly as great a right to stand out for a certain price foe his labour as the capitalist had to demand one for his goods. (Hear, hear.) But there was another side to the picture. Suppose a man were to go to another and say, " I have been working for six shillings a day, and I want seven; I want you to join me in refusing to work for leas than seven ;" and if the other man were to reply, " I tried my employer, who says be can't afford to give more at present ; I have a wife and children, and if I were to lose my work, my wife and children would be in difficulties. I don't feel dispowsl to do as wo rking but you can do it if you like, but I shall go on o" Supposing the first replica, " Very well, a number of us will combine together ? we we will drive you from the works, and if you persist in it we will blow up your house." That was tyranny. (Great applause.) It the tyranny of the men who had never professed to care for freedom was a despicable thing, the t yranny of those who were always deuounciog tyranny and crying out for liberty was so despicable that he could war,a word in the English language strong enough to ex war, a it. (Renewed cheers.) Gut upon such despotism. Let the working men deliver themselves from the s hackles of their own class. (Cheers.) The rev. gentleman gave an instance of this tyranny which bad come under his own observation in London. A very clever young bookbinder. who had conscientioua scruples against joining his trade "society," was driven from place after place by the refusal of the union mento work with him, and he was alnicet starving when he made the case known. That was a piece of abomi nable tyranny. (Hear.) He WAX iu favour of political re form, hut he warned the working men that the real re formation must be from within. Let them reform them selves, and all other reforms would follow; neglect self reform, and they would find political n form to e a de lusion, a cheat, and a snare. (Cheers.) He touched brie Ay upon the immense evils occasioned b y the liquor traffic, and in conclusion Le addressed hinnelf to the hearts of his audience with fervent and in.passioned eloquence, en treating their attention to spiritual thins. The peters tion was listened to with breathless attention, and at the close the audience cheered the rev. gentleman with the heartiest . theeenthusiasm He brought the proceedings to a close by pronouncing enediction. ng --- The Lord Mayor's banquet to the chief persons maged in constructing and laying the Atlantic Telegraph will take place on Tu esd ay, 30th inst. THE REFoRM LEAGUE. —At the usual weekly meetinti of the council of the league, held last evening at Adelpht-terrace, the president, Mr. Beales, who presided, gave a resent , of the meetings he had attended in the pro vinces since last be met the council. On the motion of the president, the following resolution was carried : " That the hearty thanks of this council are heartily pre sented to the Birmingham, Manchester, and Bradford branches of the Reform League, and the Leeds Manhood Suffrage Association, for the imposing and magnificent demonstrations at Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds in support of the great and national principles of the league manhood suffrage and the ballot." Mr. Howell (secretary) announced that two of the largest tattles unions in London were about to con nect themselves with the League. With respect to a pars graph in one of the morning papers stating that Mr. G,ra ham, M.P., and Mr. Ifl`Laren, M.P., would only attend the G ow meeting on the condition that the resolutions should not go the length of manhood suffrage and the ot, a resolution was carried to the effect that the only position in which Mr. Beales could attend the meet ing was as the advocate of manhood suffrage and the ballot. Dr. Smith brought forward his propositions for the formation of a " People's Parliament," which, after a debate, was rejected.
