The remarkable success which has attended the opening to-day of the Three Choir Festival of 1886 has completely falsified all pre-existing ideas as to the influ ence which good or bad weather has upon such gatherings. The elements could hardly have been lees propitious, and yet the attendance has been entirely exceptionaL Gene rally the first days of the meeting is looked upon as only introductory to those which follow, and the full comple ment of visitors usually does nut arrive until the Tuesday evening; but the appearance of the streets and the scarcity of disengaged conveyances show that there is not much ac commodation left for those that may arrive human. Notwithstanding the dreary aspect of the street. and the copiously falling rain, there was s very good attendance at the early morning service at the cathedral at half-past eight o'clock. Prayers were intoned by the Revs. T. L. Wheeler and R. Cattley, and the lessons of the day were read by the Rev. Sir Gilbert Lewis. The Venire chant ass sung to No. 4 cathedral selection, and the Psalms to 64. The service was Wesley's chant service in F, and the anthem, " Praise the Lord," Goss, the verse being sung by the members of the choir of Hereford Cathedral. The members of the Worcester and Gloscester Cathedral choirs also attended, and the " three choirs" were assisted by chairmen from several other cathedrals. The sermon was preached by the Rev. J. W. Leigh, vicar of Stoneleigh, and the preacher gave • rapid sketch of the history of music from the first whisperings of creation down to the present time. In the course of his remarks the reverend preacher 'bay defended the use of sacred buildings for festival performances, arguing that although some performers and listeners might relapse thereat into a forgetfulness of God, yet that the general tone of thought induced was a reverent appre ciation of Divine truth which often led to the beet and most satisfactory results. It was somewhat remark able that the preacher omitted to urge the claims of the clergy charity on the congregation, although a collection was made at the termination of the service on behalf of the great charitable object of the festival. The morning service was not concluded until 10 o'clock, and the corporation (who attended in state) and such of the congregation as had been honoured with invitations to the Mayor's breakfast had to make the best of their way at once to the Guildhall, where the Mayor of Worcester (Mr. T. Southall) and Mrs. Southall were in waiting to receive their guests. They numbered about 300. At the conclusion of the repeat, the party retired, and the majority repaired to the cathedral. Happily the rain had ceased for a while, and those who could not be accom modated with carriage-room could walk to the cathedral dryshod. The selection of sacred music for the morning consisted of the " Dettingen" Te Deum of Handel, Men ' delseohn's anthem " Hear my prayer," a selection from Costa's Rodman, Handel's " As from the power of sacred lays," and Haydn's oratorio The Creation, parte l and 2. This occupied four hours. The collection for the charity amounted to the unpre cedented sum of 4751. This included the small collection after the early morning service, the donation of the cor poration, end cheques from the Han. and Rev. Canon For tescue, and Mr. Padmore, ILP., fee 101. each. CHOBAL FESTIVAL AT THE CatirwiaL PALACE. — The usual great autumn choral festival of 5,000 new conducted by Mr. G. W. Martin, will be bald on Sa day the 150 at the Crystal Palmer.. The programme will consist of at parts, sacred and secular. Some of the p:eoes are arranged for four treble voices, and will be given by a thousand voices to a part. Every exertion is being made to make the day one of unusual attraction. This will be the only shilling Saturday in the year, and in order to meet the advantages of the early closing move ment the concert will commence at 4 o'clock, instead of 3 o'clock as heretofore. THE COLLECTION OT INDIAN TEXTILE MANI" PAC TORTS.—Ooe of the seta of 18 volumes, compris* this in teresting and valuable collection, has just been presented by the Secretary of State for India to the Liverpool Clamber of Commerce, in whose rooms the books will be deposited for reference. They contain upwards of 1,000 samples of cotton, silk, satin, and woollen manufactures, from the coarsest to the rarest and most delicate qualities, and will be of great value as guides to the designs which are acceptable lo the Oriental population, and as throw ing a strong piactisal light upon Easaru costume and baits. We learn from the Edinburgh Courant that e'even men were seriously injured on Monday morning by an explosion of lire damp in a mine near Coatbridge. , LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1866. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. The Monitsur of yesterday observes that among the advantages which Austria and Italy will derive from the Treaty of Peace now in course of nego tiation at Vienna, will be an extension of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation which has been in operation since 1861. In a memorandum which has been transmitted to General Menabrea, the Austrian government states that it considers that treaty as the starting point of an ulterior agreement for the " political and commercial union" of the two States. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (szurza's :Lama's.) FRANCE. _ PARIS. Spr U. The Patric of this evening states that several questions relating to the re-organisation of the French army will be submitted to a special com mission, appointed for the purpose of drawing up a bill, which will be laid before the Corps Legia latif next session. General Castelnau, aide-de-camp to the Em peror, will leave to-morrow for Mexioo, on a special mission. It is stated that he will deliver to' the Emperor Maximilian an autograph letter from the Emperor Napoleon. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, bar. 11, Evisimra. The new Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this even ing says :—" We consider it doubtful that amnesty will be granted on the occasion of the entry of the troops into Berlin, as the government have drawn upthe plan of such a measure, but have not yet made any decision an the subject. On the other band, we think we may assume that when the amnesty is issued it will be found to extend to civilians." The government has ordered the 4th battalions of the infantry regiments to be disbanded. Those soldiers belonging to these battalions who are not dismissed are to be dranghtad into the reserve bat talions. AUSTRIA. VISITIZA, Bin. 11. Impc-ial orders have been published to-day re lieving Lieutenant Field-Marshal Heinkstein von Belle of his post as chief of the staff, and appoint ing in his stead Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron John. The latter is also entrusted with the port folio of Minister of War. A meeting of the deputies of the German Diets of Austria was held the day before yesterday at Aussee, Steiermark, to consider the measures to be adopted for determining the position of the Ger man population of Austria, and for preserving their connexion with Germany. The meeting recognised that the formation of an united German party was indispensable, and that the principle of dualism, with the restriction that certain matters be recognised as common affairs and dealt with by common parliamentary treatment, was the only arrangement by which real liberty could be attained. It was further agreed that the state of things imperatively called for a clear definition of the competency of the representative assemblies, with a reservation in favour of the maintenance of the peculiar institutions of the different countries, as well as for a revision of the constitution by a legal and general representation of the countries this I aide the Leitha. THE NETHERLANDS. AMSTERDAM, Barr. 11. A popular disturbance took place here to-day in consequence of the annual fair having been prohi bited by the municipal authorities in view of the prevalence of cholera. The populace invaded the Bourse, and business was completely interrupted. CAPTURE OF BRIGANDS AT ROME. ROME, Szrr. IL Yesterday a body of Papal gensdarmes captured near Alatri seven Neapolitan brigands, on whom was found the sum of 7,000 crowns. Three other brigands succeeded in escaping, but were subse quently arrested at Rome. They had also in their possession a considerable sum of money in gold. RUSSIA. BT. PETERSBURG, Sm. 11.

The semi-official North German Ceuta of to-day says :—" The re-opening of the Eastern question might disturb Prussia in her organisation of the North German Confederation, and divert public attention from the establishment of the political relations of Germany. We rather doubt that the Eastern question will this time assume a peaceful phase." Saba! sift ittflitsvg. WOOLWICH, BKPT. 11.

TEE ALBERT VICTOR, OF LONDON.—The Journal de Calais says :—This saloon packet-boat left London on Saturday, at 11, with 700 excursionists on board, and came into port (Calais) the same evening, after a run of sight hours, calling at Margate and Ramegate on the way ,to land passengers. It is a boat such as we have never yet • seem The length is 230 feet ;it has two stages upon the bridge. The saloon, which is upon what we may call The ground floor, is of extreme elegance. Two hundred people mep comfortably seat themselves in it. On the I lower deck, where the cabins usually are, is the restaurant ; and we have remarked among other things the paintings upon glare, whilst the pleasure seekers amuse themselves with the ale, York hams, and Scotch salmon, so liberally provided. Above the saloons, and through the entire leng th of the boat, is what we should call the upper lery, from which there is a splendid view of a ll aroun The construction of this boat, more fitted for fine weather than to rough it, is, according to the best authorities of our port, of extreme boldness. In spite of the length and the great power of the engines, it draws only 1 metre 60c. of water. It is a greatly improved imitation of the great river steamers of America. During Sunday the public were permitted 10 view. They formed a long procession from the Quay de Mane, where the I boat was moored. It would be impossible to guess how I many thousands came to see. Every one admired the luxury, magnificence, and elegance of the saloon and restaurant. She left on Monday morning, and many were the curious upon the jetty to see her off. She returns on Saturday with a great number of passengers. W o know that upon the occasion of the fetes of Calais the director of the en terprise will provide our numerous visitors with a short trip in the Channel. Monday is the day chosen, and a be.ter day could not be selected. We have no doubt that many will avail themselves of the occasion for two or three hours upon the water. She can carry easily 800 to 900 passengers. During Sunday visitors are allowed on board, and everything in the shape of refreshmente may be procured. THE GREAT RAILWAY WAREHOUSE FIRE. During the whole of yesterday, and up to a late hour in the evening, large masses of flame were continually bursting out in various parts of the ruins, necessitating the playingof half-a-dozen of the steam-engine to keep them under, and this, combined with the insecure state of the lofty walls of the gutted warehouses, rendered it utterly impos sible for the officials connected with the railway, or the various fire offices, to make any survey of the premises, to ascertain, if possible, the origin of the fire, or the extent of damage done. Towards evening, however, an went was made with some di ffi culty to one of the b ridges that run across the station connecting the western and eastern range of warehouses, and from this elevation some idea could be formed of the vast destruction of building and property that had taken place. On every side were to be seen gutted warehouses, their valuable contents inter mimed with ponderous muses of timber, iron girders, erases, lifts, goods trucks, landing stages, he., lying in charred and smoking !saps on the basement floor • while in those warehouses where tho destruction bad not heen so great from the fire, the goods were floating abort in several feet of wa ter, which was pouring in torrents through the floors and down the staircases. The quantity of water thrown upon the buildings from the 20 and more engines which were playing upon them for some hours renders it somewhat extraordinary that the fire should ever have attained the height it did. The wool warehooses, in one of which the fire broke out. are mostly tenanted by Messrs. Gooch and Consens, the extensive wool brokers, and are calculated to hold 11,000 bales. Of these about one-third are entirely consumed by fire and another third greatly damaged by water. A number of the warehouses in this part of the station are also occupied • by Messrs. Allsopp, the ale brewers, as stores; and a great portion of these warehouses, with their contents, has been destroy ed, _ and the remainder of the stack seriously damaged. Basra. Tetley's ale stores, in the A ware house, are also destroyed. Several waggon loads of dry goods which had been brought to the station over-night for unloading in the morning were entirely consumed. The most serious Ices or the one at least that will entail the BOMBAY MAIL • greatest amount of inconvenience to the railway company, SUEZ, Sir. 11. .is the total destruction of the manager's office, with all The Delhi arrived at S a.m. to-day. the books and business documents of the establishment.

The following telegram has been received by Reuter's Telegram Company (Limited) from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany, Sept. 11. [STAMPED, ld. ADDITIONAL.] THE CHOLERA. The following is the official return of deaths from cholera and diner reiddared on Sunday and Monday, 9th and iOtA Sept. i West districts North districts 0 Central disisiels . 3 East districts 2O South districts l4 Dnb 4 3 3 .......... 13 Total in tendon The return for the subdistrict of St. Peter's, Hammer smith, was not received in time for publication. Yesterday the number of cholera caws in the London Hospital wards, which had fallen on Monday to 57, re ceived • sudden augmentation, and rose to 63. On Mon day but one patient was ad mitted, and that was • case of choleraic diarrhea only. Yesterday 9 persons were admitted, of whom three suffered from cholera and six from the other type of the epidemic. Some of than new cases were of • very bad kind. The recoveries ware from cholera, none ; from diarrhoea, two. Only one death oc curred, however. The number of out-patients also showed an inereaae, being 64 against 44 on the previous day. At the Cholera Hospital in Commercial-street a slight Increase in the severity of the attack has also been enticed. But throughout the Past-end generally medical men are of opinion that there is no present tendency toe re currence of the ravages which took place in July and the beginning of August. In the Whitechapel district the Board of Works lave dispensed with the services of seven of the eleven medical men who were appointed to give pa taitons advice and medicine to the poor who should be at backed with cholera. Four of the medical students who wee, appointed some weeks Owe to make the house to house visitation have also been given notice to discontinue their duties, and one of the three inspectors of nuisances has been dismissed. In the hamlet of Mile-end Old-town a similar reduction has been made in the cholera staff. Although the epidemic is becoming almost extinct in the majority of m etro p olitan parishes, several cases have verb recently ap peared in Maryl e bon i e and St. Pancras, which were the t parishes to be visited by the epidemic. A mother and daughter, of Cray's-buildings, Duke-street, Manchester-I,quart, have just died of cholera—they were earried off ins vary short space of time. It appears that they had been washing the blanket, and other clothes from the bed of • gentleman who had died from cholera, and that they were immediately afterwards attacked with is themselves. Several death.. have taken place in the Marylebone Iron Hospital, but there is now only one ease under attendance there. There have been two deaths from cholera in the University College Hospital, St. Pan t eras. The cases were sent there by Mr. Claremont and Dr. Saul. These deaths took place on Sunday and Monday , last. There is a third ease of cholera in the parish, which is expected to prove fatal. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, September A, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3,884 ; the dea th s registered, 3,075. The annual rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 967 boys and 938 gin la, in all 1,905 children, were registered in the week. In the cone s:4=weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, for increase of population, was 1,925. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,335. It was the thirty-sixth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,245. The deaths in the present return exceed the estimated number by 90. The weekly deaths by cholera have fallen pr. 5 .,-seively from 1,053, 781, 455, 265, and 198 to 157 ; b elroera and diarrhaa, from 1,407, 1,045, 649,394, 326 to 289. Inthe east districts the weekly deaths by cholera have fallen from 916 to 74 ; in the south districts from 47 to 39 ; in the rest of London from 90 to 44. The rate of mortality by cholera and diarrhois in East London is rather more than double the mortality by those diseases in the whole of the metropolis. Of the deaths in the south districts an undue proportion is still observed ; last week 7 deaths by cholera, 5 by diarrhees were registered in Deptford ; 7 by cholera and 4 by diar rheas in Woolwich, where the rector states that active precautions are taken by the Health Committee. The effi ciency of the measures in both these districts on the banks of the Thames should be closely watched. bust week the deaths by cholera in the Poplar district were 7 in Green wich Union, including Deptford and 'Woolwich, 17. Dr. Frankland has related a remarkable case in which boiling did not deprive cesspool stuff of It. poisonous qualities. The experiment is decisive es far as it goes ; and stows the importance of the absolute exclusion of sewage from water for domestic use. Boiling the water is a rueful precaution, but Dr. Frankland prefers filtration through animal charcoal, or the use of the permanganate of potash. Sporadic came of cholera have been observed from the cause to which Dr. Frankland refers ; in the dead of the winter of 1838, between 7th January and sth February, 55 persona died of cholera in the Coventry- House of Industry, evidently from common polluted water, as cholera was not at the time epidemie. In the Union Workhouse of Epping cholera suddenly broke out on the sth August, 1834, and by the 14th destroyed 23 lives ; " the well of the workhouse was close to the main sewer," and to this " dreadful state of drainage " the fatality of cholera was traced. In this yearl:m g : cholera prevailed. The anneal rate of mo rtality Last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, 24 in Edin rind 30 in Dublin ; 21 in Bristol, 21 in Birmingham, 53 in Liverpool, 28 in Manchester, 26 in Seaford, 22 in Sheffield, 29 hr Leeds, 21 in Hull, 34 in Newcastle-upon- Tyne, and 23 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 35 per 1,000 during the week ending the hat inst., when the temperature was 5* deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in Londen, where the rate was 24 per 1,000. The 374 deaths in this city included 64 from cholera. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.475 in. The baro metrical reading decreased from 29.74 in. on Monday to 29.21 in. on Wednesday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was .58.5 deg., which is 0.4 deg. above the leverage of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaieher). The Winn day temperature was 89.3 deg. on Wednesday and Fnday. The lowest night tempera ture was 45.8 deg. on Monday. The entire range of temps ntture in the week was, therefore, 23.5 deg. The wean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 61.1 deg.; that of the lowest was 60.7 deg. The differ ence between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 4.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 85, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 1.91 in., of which 0.90 in. fell on Sunday. The blue mist was ob served on Sundo.y, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. O Saturday all tenon of the bias mist were obliterated by a greyish mist. MEDICAL OFFICERS OF HEALTH AND SANITARY TerßovieEST. Yesterday • meeting of the medical officers of health of the metropolis was held at the Scottish Corporation Hall, Crane-court, Firet-street, to oonsider what step: should be taken by them with reference to securing certain sanitary improvements wblch can be eVected or hastened by the co-operation of the charitable portion of the public. After a discussion in which Dr. Druid (president), Mr. Liddle, Dr. Letbeby, Dr. Aldia, Dr. Buchanan, Dr. Budge, Dr. Dille, and Mr. R. Rawlin s:la, C.E ., to ok part, the following resolutions were adopted, and it was resolved to forward them to the Lord Bishop of London, to be submitted by him to the Metro politan Sanitary Association :—" That it is hichly ds sirable that the benevolent part of the public, which hare contributed so generously towards the relief of sufferers from cholera in London should, be invited to continue their efforts oho as to pro-note • pr-manent improve ment of the bed podia and sanitary state of which cholera is but an evidence. That the clergy, dis trict visitors and other persons interested in the p oor of every dis trict, be invited to form themselves into sanitary or vigilance committees, to give notice to local authoriCes of branches of sanitary laws, and to sap port them in carrying out those laws. That even when every existing law has been put in force, there remains a large class of sanitary evils,partly through the unavoidable insufficiency of these laws, but chiefly through the idle ness, carelessness, and ignorance of the poor. That the charitable public be invited to nttempt rather the removal of those evils which arise from insufficiency of the law and the bad moral status of the poor, than ths mere palliation of their effects. That as • temporary expedient. tall a constant water supply be enforced by law, it would be • worthy method of spending charitable funds to obtain daily extra supplies from the water oosipa•lea. That next to a pure supply of water, chsritrib'esons would be well employed in erecting baths and laun dries, at which cleanli ness of persons and clothes might be effected at the amanita possible cost." An association, comprising several of the nobi lity and other influential inhabitiusto of the ceur.ty of Kent has bean formed for the purpose of stacking the River Medway with salmon and other fish. Meetings to promote the project are to be held at Maidstone and Rochester and Mr. Frank Rockland has engaged to attend and deli ver as address on the subject. By a recent act of parliament her Majesty is empowered to retain for her life or pleasure Claremont house and the grounds attached.

FO tffi XDITOI OF TIES =PIM& Bic,—Mr. Carlyle, who is not chairman of the Eyre Wows Coalmines, but merely • member of it (the chairman not being yet selected, and the committee Wing only in course of formation), has received, and is daily in the habit of reosiviag from entire et:anion, a quantity et letters, newspaper, excerpts, fro., an the subject of " The Eyre Defense Fund," not oas of which can he afford to read, much less to answer. In oonsequence he has per milted me to publish the following—his prompt and emphatic answer to myself on my first applying to him to join the committee—as hie one answer to all such robot tear correspondence from without.—l am, Ica, HAMILTON HUME, Hon. See. (00PY.) Hippie-court, Ring-ironld, Dover, August 23. Sir,—The clamour raised against Governor Eyre appeere to me to be disgraceful to the good sense of England ; and if it rested on any depth of conviction, and were not rather (as I always tatter myself it is) a thing of rumour and hearsay, of repetition and reverberation. mostly from the teeth outward, I should consider it of evil omen to the country, and to Its highest interests, in these times. For my own share, all the light that has yet reached me on Mr. Eyre and his history in the world "'WIT steadily to establish the conclusion, that be is a leek T humane, and valiant man. faithful to his trusts every where, and with no ordinary faculty of executing them • the. Ide.Mde.eerviees ha lambics were 01 roan, perhaps of incalculable value, se certainli iac they were of per low and appalling difilculty,—some like the cue of ' ire," suddenly reported, "in the ship a powder' room " in mid ocean, where the moments mean the and life and death hang on your use or your misuse of the moments; and, in short, that penalty and clamour aro not the thing this governor merits from any of us, but honour and thanks, and wise imitation (I will farther say), should similar emergencies rise, on the great scale or on the small,in whatever we are governing. The English nation never loved anarchy : nos was wont to vend its sympathy on miserable mad *editions, especially of this inhuman and helf-brutish type : but always loved order, and the prong* suppression of *editions ; and reserved its tears for something worthier than promoters of such delirious sad fatal suterrises who got their wages for their sad industry . Has the English nation changed, thee, altogether? I flatter myself it his not, not yet quite ; but only that certain loose superficial portions of it have be come a great deal louder, and not any wiser, than they for merly used to be. At any rate, though much averse, at any time, and at this time in particular, to figure on committees, or run into public noises without call, I do at once, and feel that as a British citizen I should, and must make you welcome to my name for your committee, and to whatever geed it can do you. With the hope only that many o th er British men, of far more aignibaince in such a matter, will at once or gradually do the like • and that, in line, by wise e ff ort and persistence, a blind and disgraceful sot of public injustice may be prevented ; and an egregious folly as well—not to say, for none can say or compute, what a vital detriment , throughout the British empire, in such an example est to all the colonies and governors the British empire has.

MEETING AT IR. UNGTON.—A public meetinng, convened for the purpose of promoting the reform movement in the north of Lou don, was held lest evening in Middleton-hall, Upper street, Islington ; Mr. Edmond Belles in the chair. - The Chairman who, in opening the proceedings, was enthiudam tically received, said the position taken by the worlds. men of London in connexion with reform was a matter fee congratulation, and stated that persons of their class in the provinoes were anxious to follow in their wake and to assist in their operations. He believed the existing system of clams legislation and class representation was doomed, and that the time was at band when the labouring population, the real foundation of England's wealth, would have • share in the administration of the political affairs of the nation. Mr. Wallarge proposed the first resolution, to the effect that in the opinion of the meeting the recent reform demonstrations in London and the provinces showed that the nation earnestly desired an immediate and satisfactory settlement of the question, and that the Adullamite and tory opposition to the fess chips bill of the late government proved the necessity for an onanliation of reformers throughout the coupe" powerful enough to deter them from again impeding the of the people's enfranchisement. Mr. Kant e ; in • very of eettve speech, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. C. If. Elt Mrmiddle-class man), and carried amid acclamation. . Lucraft proposed the next resolution, which pledged the meeting to support the North London branch of the Reform League, who intend holding a public meeting every Monday evenint n l o the Temperance - hall, Windsor. street, Essex-road , I n, for the enrolment of mem bers, the discussion reform and various political questions, a people understanding of which would assist the when enfranchised in shoeing rep.esentatives t qualified to legislate for the interest of the entire nation. Mr. M'Gilcrist who seconded the resolution, said that Mr. Reales's funs tion henceforward would be reviser of the corruption and shortcomings of the House of Commune. Mr. Dymond (Exeter) supported the resolution, and said that the work ing men of his native town were determined to restore the tarnished name of Devonshire. The resolution was ma- Dimon* agreed to. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Harper, Mr. Land, and Colonel Dickson, after which the proceedings terminated with • cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. Ma. lionninr, M.P. on Rnrortn.—At a banquet, given by the Mayor of Blackburn, on Saturday night, Hornby, responded to the toast of " The Members," and in the course of his speech said—There has been a very important subject before the House of Com mons since you last returned me; hat I do not wish to mines that question in any shape, make, or farm whatever. When I stood upon the hustings last I told you my opinions fear lessly, frankly, and openly. I sa id distinctly, and I say so now, repeating it, that I will support any measure which shall not go to the interest of one chow of society to the swamping of another. I read the speech of /Mr. Gladstone in tbe papers of te-day, and I read it with pies. sure, because I can from it quote word for word for my own party what he said on behalf of hiduty . He sa speaking at Salisbury, that he bad s duty sa y s, =Meter of the crown, and he left the rest to the country at large. To that I say ditto. lam only one indiridual member of the House of Commons—and not so bright • star as that right honourable gentleman—but we are both rider the same influence, the influence of the country at large, by which this peat question must be decided. These are the woe* of this very gifted right honourable gentleman at Salisbury, and I thought, se I came along in the train, that, to returning thanks to this toast, there could not be any impropriety in nee alluding to • speech made by so great, so eminent, and so clever • politician. No doubt he is the highest is the land. I trust most sincerely that in this great ques tion, ebb= meet yet be deeded, he will exercise his power, his taleses, his judgmeet, and his discretion fee the interest of all Masses of her Majesty's subject. Having touched upon this question I have now done with it. I remain precisely el the sea opinion which I held when you last sleeted me. I voted in accordance with that opinion la every division which took place, and I still main anxious, willing, and desirous to settle this AIDED* lion of reform, having no fears upon it. Mr. F -4dim afterwards retained thanks. EWUPAPER ' l''rc.:l4l .11.34441V/4 *-tr i t °, 4N , • I • ..... A - v ssaltaxa 4
