REPRESENTATION OF THETFORD. —ln consequence of some informality attending the application of Mr. A. H. Baring for the Chiltern Hundreds, it is not now expected that the impending election for this borough will take place before - Friday or Saturday next. On Thursday evening, a meeting convened by the Thetford branch of the Reform League was held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of discussing the relative merits of the two candidates—Lord Frederick Fitzroy and the Lord Advo cate. There was a large attendance of electors and non electors, and the general feeling of the meeting was in favour of Lord Frederick Fitzroy in preference to the Lord Advocate. The meeting p'edged itself, in fact, to support Lord Frederick, and three cheers were given for his lord ship at the close of the proceedings. KaTINO OF SCHOOLS AND CHARITIES.—A depu tation of clergymen and other gentlemen, introduced by Mr. Hughes, M.P., waited upon the Duke of Marlborough yesterday, to ask his influence In obtaining an exemption from rating of schools used by the poorer classes. His grace specially requested that reporteni should not accom pany the deputation, by whom the following abatement was made as to the effect of the new interpretation lately given to the act 43rd Elix., by which the schools for the children of our labouring and poorer classes are in the years 1866 and 1867, for the first time, subjected to local taxation :—" If the law aa now interpreted be suffered to remain in force the consequences will be most injurious to the cause of education ; every poor school in the country will be more or less crippled, and of course if the useful nese of our schools is decreased, the number of our crimi nals and paupers will be greatly augmented. Already many schools in Lambeth are greatly affected by this im position, and some are nearly paralysed ; even our Sunday schools, not held in buildings used for public worship, are liable to bo rated, and as a consequexce, if relief be not forthcoming, some of the schools of the poorer denomina tions will have to be closed. The assessment of some of ' our schools amounts to half as much as the whole of their voluntary contributions, consequently their funds, being insufficient, have to be supplemented by subscriptions from the clergy, already overburdeted by claims on their benevolence. Notwithstanding the late decisions in the oou rta of law, whatever the letter of the law may be, exemption of poor schools from rating is consistent with the spirit and intention of the act of Elizabeth, and has become, b long and undisturbed enjoyment a prescriptive right which cannot now be fairly withdrawn. The abolition of this prescriptive right is certainly contrary to modern legisla tion. The 3rd sad 4th William IV. cap. 30, exempts places of worship from parochial taxation; the 6th and 4th Victoria, cap. 36, exempts lands and buildings occupied by liesnryand scientific societies from county, borough, and parochial rates ; and the Towns Improvement Act, 1847, provides that no building exclusively used for the purpose of gratuitous education of the poor shall be rated. It appears, indeed, as if poor schools had been accidentally omitted from the list of institutions exempted; and we, the supporters of schools for the children of our poorer fellow-subjects, appeal to your grace, as the Lord Presi dent of the Committee of Council on Education to lay our case before the government, that we may obtain legis lative relief from this most cruel and oppressive burden." The duke said, as the subject of education was just now a very popular one, no doubt when the government time to consider it they would not overlook the point to which his attention had been directed. , Tee FARNHAM WORKH OUSE INQUIRY. — The proceedings commenced yesterday morning with the exarui• nation of Mr. Thomas Wightman, of Aldershot, who stated that he wes elected a guardian of the Farnham' Union in March last, and bad frequently attended the meetings of the board. The guardians wished, be said, to the best of their ability, or so far as they had the power, to do all they could to promote the comfort of the sick and infirm. He believed, as stated in the Lancet, that this anion had been a Pandemonium. but he did not believe that to have been the fault of the guardians. So far is his experience went, be thought the late master had too mach power, and that his position was a false one. Wit. nem attributed the state of Pandemonium to the fact that the guardians bad not, control over their officers in re gard to them appointment and removal, and he thought that the guardians had not been properly instructed in their power and duties. Mr. K Aylwin,butcher, of Farm. bens, wasexamined as to the supply of meat to the union, and stated that it had invariably been according to contract, although occasionally breast of mutton had been put in to make up a deficiency in the weight of beef. Thisbe(' only occurred when the order for beef was unusually heavy. After the examination of one or two other witnesses theist• quiry was adjourned till Monday, the 2nd proximo.

A BOY% BYOBY. John Bailey, an intelligent, nice-looking lad living at No. 5, Regent-street, Southampton, said—When the ship Rhone struck I was on deck, and jumped on the pat side, and then into the water. I was there about half an hour on a piece of wood, and then I saw an ordinary seaman named Gough full out of a lifebnoy, and I swam lowarda it. I was knocking about a long time with both my arms throng% the lanyards until it began to rain, and then I thought it was no good stopping any longer, and so I dropped off to sleep in the buoy; but I bad no supper first though. I did not dream at all, and when I woke up I was near the shingle about three quarters of • mile from the shore. I struck off for the shore and saved myself, and then laid down and went to sleep all night, with the lifebuoy for my pillow. The buoy is marked " Rhone," and I have brought it borne with me. Of course I had nothing for breakfast. I walked about for three or four hours on Beef Island, and then I fell in with two others, and we've come home in the Douro. ♦ rI•ZYLN'S STORY. Henry Harken, a fireman of the Rhone,living in Crown terrace, &mei, Valley, said : The first thing in the morn ing on the 29th of October it began to blow, and went on blowing till we were told to go down and get steam up. We then steamed a-head, she having parted from her anchor. We were then told to get as much steam as we could, and it reached 201ba., and we steamed on antil about one o'clock in the day. We struck on the rocks at Balt Island. I should think we were there for seven or eight minutes, when the chief engineer called us up from below, when the ship broke in halves, and I went up the skylight. I saw the sea break right through her side, and when I got on deck I saw the sea come right over her. I saw many persons rushing to the fore companion, and up through the skylight on to the spar deck, when I was washed overboard. I can give no further account until I found myself on Beef Island, where I got about half-past ten at night, I should think, and we were brought off from there to the Tyne. We had taken a few passengers out of the Conway, I believe, but I cannot speak posi tively. Dr. White joined the ship the day before, and his body we picked up and buried at Tortola, and all that could be found of Captain Woolley was merely the sleeves of his coat. ANOTHER FIREMAN'S STORY. Rees, a fireman of the Rhone, residing at Freemantle, said: I went down when we commenced to light up the fires about half-paat eight, when we were lying at Peter Island. Three fires were ordered in each boiler, and we had not been down half an hour when we were ordered to light up another fire in each, making all the fires now lighted, and reaching 151 b. of steam. The gale freshened, and we were told to get as much steam as we well We got up 201 b. —all that we could rossibly give her, and she was going at full speed at the time she went down. What I fancy is that when she struck first she " kind of seined" a rook on the port side ; the second time it seemed to lift her, and she went down " bump," and bumped three or four times. Of course it drove her sides in, and I believe the rocks went up at the bottom into her boilers. Seeing the water coming into the stoke-hole, I got up through the engine -room ladder ; all that I saw was a boiler maker in the engine room, and be went up the ladder before me. Why u I got on the top, the steam-pipe burst, and, everything being covered with steam, I lust sight of all that was going on. As I knew the way out as well in the dark as in the light, I got hold of the handrail, and crawled under the steam out of the door. When I got out I found the forward companion covered with people. The main deck people were clinging to everything they saw. I rushed right through them on to the spar deck, where I was washed off, and overboard, and the bows of the vessel aunt right round to me. I clung to the fore topsail yard, where I stopped from one o'clock in the day until half-past eight next morning, when I was took off by a little punt, which picked uo four besides me. It could only take two at a time. was washed naked. I saw the chief engineer, Mr. Hooper, clinging to a sky light, and was washed by him. He looked at me, and I looked at him, just as men will do at such times. My opinion is that more were killed by the knocking about of the wreck than being drowned. The men in the stoke-hole had no chance to come up. Two came up, but they were fearfully scalded ; their names were Lane and Arthur CalL The things in the gale were flj:ng about like birds. I saw one lady clinging to her husband by the after-companion, and I believe she was picked up next morning by the ' doctor of the Solent. The gale seemed to conieon gradually, and continued getting worse. I did not apprehend danger before it happened, because I've often been out in roughish weather. I hadn't been on deck in the wind, but below this did not appear worse than I've been out in before. I am a good swimmer, but the next morning the sharks were lying around us like little fish, and therefore it was useless to think of swimming in order to get relieved and picked up.

According to advices received by the Britain the Cape had recovered its equanimity after the excitement of the royal visit. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh left Simon's Bay on the god October for Australia. His lengthened stay seemed to have passed off as agreeably to himself as it evidently was to the Caps people. The prince during his stay mingled freely all classes, and paid private as well as kin p o n n bit visite to institutions. He also suede a careful inspection of the Breakwater works, and finally acknowledged the hospitality be had received by giving • return ball at Timers-town prior to his departure. This ball was, in every way, a princely return of thou, given to the duke by the governor, colonists and military, and paned o ff with brilliant éclat. The duke left Ca town finally on Sept. 2S. The meeting of the Dutch Reformed Synod was opened on the Bth Oct. It had excited much interest, but bad endedabruptly and unsatisfactorily. The first question to be determined before it was whether the Rev. Messrs. Bergey' and Kotre, the clergymen whose doubted orthodoxy caused the legal proceeding, that were adjudicated upon by the Privy Council, on an appeal adverse to the Synod, should or should not be at once recognised as ministers of the church and members of the Synod. A considerable minority of members thought the judgment of the Privy Council should be acquiesced in. The majority, however, decided that the Synod should be adjourned sine die until an answer could be obtained to • petition transmitted to the Queen to have it cleared up whether the judgment of the Privy Council was intended to have effect only Quosd Tmporalia. or whether it extended to spiritual matters. These ministers continued their ser i vices, and with a few exceptions their congregations adhered to them. It was said by a local journal that the " liberalism" of these ministers, though it prevailed in the Dutch church , had but very little sympathy with the extreme views held by the theologians of Germany or by Bishop Coleus*. His Excellency Sir P. E. Wodahouae would I return toEngland by the next mail on six months' leave of absence, but it was not considered likely be would ',tarot° the colony, as his term of office will by that time have ex pired. The colonists express hopes that Sir George Grey will be their next governor. Business during the past month had shown signs of an improvement in the colony. The weather had been very satisfactory for agriculture, and the crops were ewe pro mising. Very little had been done during the month in the way of wool shipments, owing to the low price of wool in the English markets. Several vessels, however, had sailed with full cargoes. A dangerous fever of a low typhoidal character, and sometimes assuming • ma li gnant typhus form, had con tinued to prevail in Cape Town, and in many other places in the oniony. The number of cases constantly under treatment in Cape Town WWI about 500, and the mortality was about 60 a week, while the ordinary mortality of the city was under 20 • week. Every effort was being made to enforce sanitary rules. The Benito war still continued. The Free State was said to have obtained some very decided successes over the Basuto& An earthquake had occurred at Bart London and King William Town. The buildings were much shaken. At Natal, in the case of the interdict sought to be obtained by Dr. Colonio against the Key. Messrs. Green, B. Fr. Robineon, and Walt= for preaching, the court had refused the application. The reverend respondents were now to be cited individually to appear on the first day in next term, to show cause why they should not be deprived of their licences in the diocese, _ _ The Roman Catholic Bishop of Capetown had been mobbed at Namannal, and a mock religious procession paraded before him his absolution was asked for in deri sion, and his person pelted with filth by some ignorant members of the Dutch community, in consequence of his having baptized two illegitimate children. The better class of the Dutch had protested against this outrage, and sympathised with the bishop. The Norseman arrived out on Oct. 15, and the Kaffraria on the 13th. Her Majesty's ships Nympbe and Daphne, and the transports England Queen and Bosphorus, were reported to have arrived out. [The wreck of the latter must have occurred several days after the departure of the Briton.] filuitc. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The thirty-sixth season of this great metropoli tan musical institution commenced last night with a fine performance of /Nail. The performance was deprived of the aid of the perma nent conductor of the society, Mr. Costa, in consequence of whose indisposition Mr. Sainton assumed the office with • general efficiency which he has before evinced in a like capacity under similar circumstances. Another sub stitution last night was that of Mr. Perren for Mr. Cummings, who was unable to sing in consequence of en attack of inflammation of the larynx. The principal soprano solos were sung by Madame Lemmenz. Sherrington with that parity of tone and refinement of style which she has so often displayed in the same music, her air, " Hear ye, Israel," being, as usual, specially noticeable for its chaste delivery. The contralto recita tives, and the sublime air, " 0 rest in the Lord," have been so often sung by Madame Sainton-Dolby that it is only necessary to say that they were given last night with all the earnest pathos and genuine feeling for which this artist has long been distinguished. The short air, " Woe unto them," was sung with nice expression by Miss Julia Elton, who, with Miss Robertine Henderson, was thoroughly efficient in the concerted music. The most important solos in this oratorio ere those assigned to Elijah, the music of which part no singer can now declaim as Mr. Bentley does. Often as this gentleman has sung this music, he has never given it more finely than List night. In she many passages of declamatory grandeur and of sublime pathos occurring in the music of Elijah, this artist's performance is all that could be desired. In the dramatic and florid air, "Is not his word like • fire I" the pathetic lament " It is enough," and in the great scene of the resuscitation of the widow's son, this artist's admirable powers were as conspicuous last night as on many former occasions. The subordinate parts in the concerted music were assigned to Messrs. F. Walker, C. Henry, and Mr. Smythson. The noble choruses of this great work were sung with a steadiness ►nd earnestness that can only be acquired by a large number of excel'. tants after many repetitious—such as Elijah has had at the concerts of the sacred Harmonic Society, and such as we hope it may long continue to have at their perform ances. The next concert, being the five hundredth performance given by the society in the great room of Exeter.ball, is to take place on December 13. The committee state that " having in view the holding the third triennial Handel Festival, a general revision of the Festival choir will take place, and such additions be made thereto as will maintain the supremacy of the Handel Festivals as the greatest and most complete choral exhibitions in the world." HERR CARL MIME'S CONCERTS. This gentleman commenced a series of six con eerie on Thursday night, at the Hanover-square Rooms. The programme of the first concert comprised several pieces of pianoforte music, alma by acknowledged classical composers, others the composition of Herr Haute himself. The selection commenced with Mozart's beautiful duet sonata for two pi.inos, very well played by Signor Catalani and Herr Hause ; another duo for two pianos, a manuscript composition by the concert-giver, forming the conclusion of the second part. This piece, consisting of a short introduction and a somewhat lengthened allegro in the florid fantasia style, was given with great executive brilliancy by Miss Ellice Jewell and Herr Hause ; the latter of whom also displayed his individual powers in 'several solo performances ; among others in a " Grand March de Concert,' • "Capriocietto, Romance, Led Tarantella" of his own ; in all which he evinced • large amount of executive skill with considerable force and energy. In the first movement of " Hummell'a A Minor Concerto," Herr Hause was aided by an arrange meet of the orchestral accompaniments played on • second piano by Signor Catalani. Such a substitution for an orchestra is well enough for private performance, but scarcely suited to public exhibition. Herr Hausa's execn tion of the solo passages, taken somewhat in advance of the intended speed, was distinguished by dexterous mani pulation and unflagging energy. There were some vocal performances by Miss Anna Jewell, who was encored in a song of Herr Hause's, " There be none of beauty's daugh ters;' by Miss Fanny Arinytage, and by Signorina Luigi". ' Leal., • young lady with a powerful soprano voice of ex tensive comp►ss, who was encored in an aria of Donizetzi, and responded by singing the air from Marta, " Qui soh" (The last rose of summer), with some elabor►te embellish ment Bad variations. rTARY BUSINESS FOR THE ENSUING IVREA.

LIFE AT ALDERSHOT.—Inuring the past feu days there has been but little, in a military point of view, to vary the dull monotony of camp life at Aldershot. The Lieutenant-General commanding, whose presence is always an indication of activity in the division, is away on leave, and that distinguished cavalry uldier, Major-General Hodge, commands during his temporary absence. But, although field-days are in abeyance, the division hu been exercised by brigades in route marching on difiereut days, and bee hal the advantage of very favourable wcatter. Nothing can be more exhilarating to the men, or snore cheering to accidental spectators, than thie route marching when the elements do not conspire to lender it uncomfort able. As the troops leave the camp the air seems literally alive with the music, and as the men march along they often enliven the way by singing in full chorus. The infantry drill has undergone some alteration and improvement, and probably still further changes will be introduced, owing to the new soil destructive wea pons now in use. The Snider rifle has been well tried on field days, but its merits, when compared with the Chassepot, are in many quarters still a m►tter of dispute. It is asserted that the formation of the troops in firing had much to do with the success of the Prussians in the late war, and no doubt this subject will re ceive special attention in our army, as it is evident that the method by which the greatest number of shots can be brought to bear must exercise an important influence in de ciding the fate of any future battle. The cavalry, as well as the infantry, is suanseuvred with a regard to the im proved weapons of the day, and the artillery, when acting in conjunction with cavalry, is made to tire against time. The Hone Artillery and the field batteries have been ac tively exercised during the week, and acquitted them selves admirably In the Long Valley iu all the movements peculiar to that arm of the service.—Tines.
