The meeting was pretty numerously attended. The CHAIRMIN said as their member he was glad to be present at this meeting. He thought it one of the first duties of a member of parliament, representing such a con stituency as be did, to be present at such meetings as this, whether he was entirely in agreement with the object of those who called the meeting or not. For himself, he would tell them at once that he was not altogether in agreement with many of the gentlemen he saw on the platform. The National Temperanoe League was entirely in favour ofjmoral persuasion, but for himself he thought they wanted something more. There was another organisation the Alliance, which had its centre, he believed, in Man chester. The Alliance was quite in favour, as he himself was, of soma parliamentary action in the matter. The Alliance promoted what was called the Permissive Bill. There was a principle in the Permissive Bill with which he very much sympathised. He believed that the licensing system was very bad at present, but taking the Permissive Bill ea a whole, he did not think it would effect the ad mirable object which its promoters had in view. In the first place, he did not think there was the slightest chance of carrying it ; and, indeed, it would be with great diffi culty that they would carry any legislation on the subject. In the second place, if the Permissive Bill were panW to morrow it would create a great deal of injustice, and a feeling throughout the country which would be anything but satisfactory, and it would not have the effect of for• warding those objects which they all had in view. He thought, however, that intemperance was dealt with much too leniently by the law. He thought that when a man had been guilty of brutal conduct drunkenness ought not to be ded as a pal liation, but as an aggravation of the offnce and subject the offender to greater punishment. He thought, also, that after two or three offences had been proved against a publican the license should be taken away fr om himwith out any option. He cordially sympathised in this move ment. He believed there was no more important social movement now going on in England, and upon its success would depend in a great measure the future of England in the next generation. Mr. G. M. MURPHY then addressed the meeting in a racy speech on the evils of drunkenness, and the non necessity of gin palaces and wine and beer shops. Addresses were also delivered on the same subject by Mr. George Howlett, Mr. W. Scott, Mr. Jabez West, Mr. Selway, and others, and at the close of the meeting a number of persons signed the total abstinence pledge. THE YELLOW Favatt.—Her Majesty's govern. ment have received, through the Foreign-office, in formation that the mail steamer Empress Eugenie, which arrived at St. Nazaire on the 19th instant, had had, during her passage from Mexico, fourteen cases of yellow fever ou board, seven of which had terminated fatally ; no case, however, having oc curred among the passengers. The Empress Eugenie had been placed in q uarantine, the duration of ' which had not been determined at the time that this information was sent by her Majesty's ambas sador at Paris. A supplement to the London Gazette, published last night, contains an order in Council, dated the 22nd inst., authorising the col lector of customs at Southampton and a solicitor from that town, or any other person competent to take evidence on oath, to go on board the Parana, now lying in quarantine at the Motherbank, off the Isle of Wight, without being in any way subject to the restraint of quarantire. In accordance with , this authorisation the collector of cus.ines at I Southampton, the Royal Mail Company's seperin teudent, the health officer, and a legal gentleman left Southampton yesterday afternoon to examine into the health of the -A tra,,o's passengers on board the Parana, with a vie .v to their release from quarantine. PRAYERS FOR THE POPE IN MALTA.—In aCCOT dance with a circular letter issued last week by the Arch bishop of Malts to the clergy of his diocese, prayers were offered on Sunday last in all the Roman catholic churches of the island for the welfare and trar quillity of the catholic church and its supreme head. In his circular, the archbishop says that, " In the present great afflictions now oppressing the church, the Supreme Pontiff, ant the Holy See, there is no other powerful weans for obtaining from the Almighty perfect peace and fan liberty, so neees , sary for the welfare and spiritual government of the church, than that of offering a fervid prayer, kindled by faith, hope, and charity ; and that, consequently, the archbishop deems it his pastoral duty strongly to exhort the clergy and people of his diocese, whose principal boast is catholicism introduced here by the Apostle St. Paul, to offer humble prayers to the Giver of all good, in order that, through the merits of His only Son Jesus Christ, and the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin, He may protect the church, and give her everlasting peace and the triumph of true religion and of all Christian virtues."—Malta Times, Nov. 15. BIRMINGHAM CATTLE Saow.—ln relation to this forthcoming exhibition, the following has been received by Mr. Lythall, the secretary :—" Privy Council-office, Cattle Plague Department, Princes-street, Westminster, S.W., Nov. 20, 1866.—Sir,—I have been directed by the Lords of the Council to inform you that they have con sidered the subject brought under their notice this morn ing by a deputation from the Birmingham and Midland Counties Cattle Show Society ; and that their lonlships do not consider it prudent to grant a license for a ca'Ale show on the conditions requested, as the county of Warwick I cannot be deemed tohave been fres from disease for a suf ficient period to justify the issue of a license, either for a j market for store animals or for an exhibition, consistently with the provisions of the Orders of Council of the 7th and 13th instant—l am, &c., 11. D. Raasssr." The exhi bition this year will therefore consist of sheep, pigs, corn, I roots, poultry, agricultural implements, &c., the entries of which are sufficient to fill the building. At a very full ; meeting of the council held yesterday, it was resolved to return the entrance fees to the exhibitors of cattle.

The report of the council called particular attention to an alteration in the form of the Saturday and Sunday orders proposed to be made after the 31st of December next : the alteration, however, would not in any way diminish the privileges of the fellows, who would be able to admit exactly the same number of per sons on Saturdays and Sundays as before. The solicitors acting for the Rev. Henry Court ney Jenour, whose wife was lately charged with asaaul;,. ing him, and was sent to prison in default of sureties, have published a letter which Mrs. Jenour has sent to her husband, and the publication of which she has autho rised. In it Mrs. Jenour says :—" I express my deep regret that, in a state of excitement, I publicly charged my husband, on the 10th inst., with immorality and cruelty. These charges are totally devoid of foundation. I now calmly admit the truth that he has ever been a kind and indulgent husband, and has shown the greatest patience and forbearance to me under the greatest provocation." There were three deaths from diarrhoea and one from cholera registered in London on Wednesday. CRYSTAL PALAGR.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE, (azunta's reLzaitsms.) MEXICO. PARIS, Nov. 22, EVEFING. The Prance of this evening publishes an article upon Mexico, which says :—" The arrival of General Castelnau in Mexico, and the attitude assumed by the United States—a coincidence which the Emperor Maximilian considered to have completely changed the situation of affairs—have caused him to modify his early resolutions. Before his departure for Vera Cruz on the 22nd October the Emperor Maximilian placed his authority in the hands of Marshal Bazaine• In view of this intelligence," adds the France, " the source of which is above suspicion, it is permitted to consider the speedy departure of the Emperor Maximilian for Europe as extremely probable, if indeed it has not already taken place."

There are many contradictory reports with regard to the Papal intentions. General Fleury is ex pected shortly in Florence, to confer with the Ita lian government concerning the Roman question, now that the term of the Convention is near at hand. It would be regarded by most people in Italy as a public misfortune should the Pope actually think fit to carry out his threat of leaving Rome after the departure of the French troops. A thousand unforeseen complications would neces sarily follow so ill-advised an act. The liberals and the Papal party ought, it is thought, at this moment to make mutual concessions, with a view to recon ciliation. We learn with deep regret, by our last accounts from Rome, that the sudden outbreak of the cholera in that city has filled the inhabitants with conster nation. People aro leaving the city in every direc tion. Above one hundred cases a day are mentioned, and many strangers who had gone to Rome for the winter are being scared away. Florence, or rather the municipal authorities in its name, is busily preparing to give the King of Italy a grand reception on his return to the capital on the 20th inst. Poles and scaffolding for hanging festoons of flowers and drapery are everywhere visible. Near the station, i.e., on the Piazza di Sta. Maria Novella, a huge effigy of a lion—the re presentative lion of St. Mark—is in process of erec tion, to remind his Majesty of the late union of the Venetian provinces with Italy. Palermo continues to be in a troubled state. The arrest, by order of the military tribunal, of a large party of nobles, members of some of the most dis tinguished families in the country, has caused a blended feeling in the public mind of pleasure and surprise. Those arrested are Baron Riso, Prince Raminacca, Prince di Galati, Baron Sutera, Prince di San Vincenzo, Doctor Onofrio, Di Benedetto, and the Prince of Linnaglossa. These gentlemen's names were affixed to an inflammatory pro clamation published on the 21st September last. '1 hey declare they were forced by the reactionary party to act with the insurgent committee. Two ladies have also been arrested, viz., the Baroness Malvica, wife of the Minister of Francis 11., and the Aproneas Trarbo. The Archbishop of Mon reale has shared the same fate. Much sensation has been caused by his arrest. THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE ROILkN QUESTION. Baron Ricasoli has just addressed a circular to the precects and royal commissioners of the Italian kingdom, in which he says that, with the settle ment of the Venetian question, foreign dominion has come to an end in the peninsula, and Italy may now devote herself to the work of internal reorganization. The minister adds : The Roman question, it is true. still remains to be solved; but since the convention has settled the political part of it, the Roman question cannot, and should not, be a pretext for agitation. The sovereignty of the Pope in Rome is placed by the convention of September, 1864, under the same conditions as every other sovereignty. It must seek in itself, and find in itself alone, the means of existence and duration. Italy has promised France and Europe not to interfere between the Pope and the Ro mans, and to allow the accomplishment of this last experiment with regard to the vitality of an ecclesiastical principality which is without a parallel in the civilised world, and which is in contradiction with the progrese of the age. Italy must maintain her promise, and await from the efficacy of the national principle she represents the infallible triumph of her rights. All agita tion, therefore, using the Roman question as its pretext, should be discountenanced, blamed, Prevented, and re pressed, whatever may be the character it assumes ; for the suspicion ought not to be aroused that Italy will in any way violate her solemn engagement, and no attempt should be made to induce her to violate it, since in either case it would be a grave injury and wrong to her. I know that the double quality of the Pope supplies some people with an argument for confounding she poli tical with the religious question, and for disturbing timid consciences with the doubt lest the Italian government wishes to diminish the independence of the spiritual chief, andoffend the liberty of the church. But you will be able, if necessary,to dispel these suspicions. The legislative measures, the reiterated declarations of the King's government, even its moat recent acts, openly show that even in religious matters it recognises no other empire, and admits no other rule than that of liberty and law, and among the minis ters of religion desires neither the privileged nor the martyr. To the head of the catholics disseminated throughout the world and forming the great bulk of the Italian nation guarantees are due in order that he may exercise his spiritual ministry free and inde pendent. The Italian government is more than any other disposed to accord the guarantees that may be considered most fitted to protect that liberty and independence, be cause more than any other it is convinced that they may be conceded without any injury to the rights of the nation it represents.

I WWI led yesterday to adduce the silence of the Monitear—a silence greatly noticed by the Debuts and caler papers to-day--as the strongest confirms- . . ton of the news that Maximilian had run away from Mexico. 1 find further confirmation in the tardy speech of the Mouiteur to-day. Resigning itself at length to make up a paragraph for the public from the despatches it did not know how to use yesterday, it passes over altogether the where abouts of Maximilian, and says that the absence of Marshal Bazaine from the city of Mexico when the mail left " prevented him from sending the usual periodical report of the political situation." It proceeds to admit that Colonel Van der Smissen, the commander of Maxi milian's unfortunate Belgian legion, had utterly failed in an attempt to recapture amiquilpan from the " enemy," and that seeing " eleven otfi- *parting iEntriiigenre.

THE CIIAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—Yester day afternoon the race for the championship of the Thames took place from Putney to Mortlake, between Robert Chambers, of Newcastle, and Joseph Sadler, of l'utney. The London man has long been looked to a+ the "destined one " to bold the " blue ribbon of the river" on Kelly's retirement, but he has suffered defeat apparently from over-anxiety to hold his lead. Mr. .1. A. Ireland, of the London Rowing Club, was referee, and there were any number of steamers with no end of people. The start was very even, Chambers being on the Middlesex shore. Shortly after the start Sadler obtained a very trifling lead, which be held up to the Soap Works. There Chambers evidently held him, and in trying to pass Hammersmith-bridge to gether, Sadler bored Chambers into the bridge, and their sculls touched. Chambers immediately ceased rowing, and the proper appeal was made. The Tyne man rowed on after Sadler, and at the end of the course, the referee decided iu favour of Chambers. cers fall killed and wounded around him, he was obliged to retreat." It is complained that a native Mexttlan regiment sent against the Juarist general Corona " rallied to him." All this is now admitted by the French official press, which a short time ago spoke of Maximilian's empire as strongly rooted in the unanimous affection of the people, and of Juarez's partisans as a few scattered bri gands not entitled to be treated as belligerents, and only good to hang in the rare cases of meeting with any of them. All this " enormous lying " is now about to be so exposed to the world that there will be but one opinion about it. The famous ironclad frigate La Gloire, which figured at the great international meeting of the French and English fleets at Brest last year, has been put out of commission, and now lies a hulk at Toulon, under the jurisdiction of the maritime prefect. I presume that, like many of her English competitors, she has been found wanting. The new frigate La Savoie replaces La Gloire in the squadron of evolutions. A very extraordinary case came before the Civil Tribunal of the Seine this week. Some months ago an old woman, Widow Tamizier, died in Paris, leaving, as it was supposed, no other fortune than the poor furniture of a small lodging. Her effects were sold by auction in that rapid way that the property of the poor is disposed of ; and among them was a little box containing skeins of thread, which, with several other things classed under the head " sundries," was knocked down to a dealer in marine stores, named Audebert, for the small sum of 4fr. Audebert shortly afterwards made a present of the box to Mdlle. Fricotteau, a dressmaker, who was his mistress. She, making use of the skeins of thread to hem some towels, found concealed in them twenty Bank of France notes for I,ooof r. each. She, having small lite rary acquirements and being utterly unaccustomed to the handling of large sums of money, doubted at first whether the discovery was of any value. Nevertheless she sent a friend to the Bank of France with one of the notes, and, receiving in return for it 50 golden napoleons, could no longer doubt about the treasure trove. Separate enjoyment of the find never occurred to her innocent soul, and she at once took the notes and gold to her paramour Aude bert, who had given her the box. He, on the strength of his acquisition of fortune, proposed a tour in Auvergne, his native depai t ment. Had ho gone anywhere else in France he had been secure from any inquiry about the con tents of the box of thread. But in Auvergne his expensive way of living, so far beyond the station of himself and family, led to the belief that he and Miss Fricotteau must have come by money unlawfully in Paris. A judge of instruc tion who, it may be presumed, has little to do among the honest inhabitants of Auvergne, pricked up his curious ears in response to public rumour, and after making inquiries I thought himself justified in arresting Audebert and Miss Fricotteau. They at once confessed the whole story of the box of thread, and produced 17 notes yet unspent out of the original 20. The tri bunal of correctional police acquitted them on the criminal charge of misappropriation, nevertheless the seventeen thousand-franc notes were im pounded in court to await the claim of the pre sumed lawful owner. A nephew of Widow Tami zier, one Louis Cochois, appeared the other day by his counsel, M. F. Thomas, in this character. Neither Audebert nor Miss Fricotteau made any opposition to his claim, and it was adjudged that the 17,000 franca in court should be paid over to shim. An advocate at Dresden has been arrested on a charge made against him by the Germania Life Assurance Company of Stettin of having poisoned his wife with a view to obtain the amount of a policy on her life. The lady died suddenly shortly after her husband had insured her life for 24,000 thalers (about 3,6001.). It appears that insurance offices in Germany, or at least this part of Ger many, stipulate that a post mortem exami nation shall follow the death of the assured. This examination took place without any objection being made. But ten days after the funeral the company showed sufficient cause to obtain an order for an exhumation, and then a Berlin chemist, named Dr. Sonneuschein, certified that he found in the body traces of acetate of morphine. The husband is said to be in em barrassed circumstances, owing to disastrous speculations, and the allegation of the public prosecutor is that he poisoned his wife to raise money. The Bourse showed some activity in Rente and Italian, but all other securities were neglected. Rente rose 30c. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 69fr. 80c., and 69fr. 774 c. Italian rose 33c. 1 closing at 56fr. 40c. -- ARRIVAL FROM THE WEST INDIES.—LIVERPOOL, THERSDAT. — By the arrival of the West India and Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steam ship West Indian, Captain Miller, we have later news from Colon and Jamaica. The leading topic of discussion in the Jamaica papers is the stoppage of a public meeting which had been called at Kingston on the 2fith ultimo by Mr. Robert Osborne, for the purpose of memorialising the government to remove from the oommission of the peace Dr. Bowerbank, the chief magistrate of Kingston, who will be remembered in England by his advocacy of Governor Eyre. The grounds stated for the memorial were " the illegal and arbitrary arrests made in her Majesty's name by Dr. Bowerbank's directions, and the subsequent imprison ment of peaceable and loyal subjects during the troub les in the parish of St. Th omas -i n -the-East." This affair bad stirred up very an gry feelings, and the newspapers are filled with articles, some denouncing Mr. Osborne for attempting to gratify his personal feelings and inflame the public mind, others deprecating any attempts oe the part of the authorities to interfere with the right c public oaths& Oahe :oar itifittarg. - ADMIRALTY, Nov. n.—APPOINTMENTS. —Lieu tenants H.

REFORM 'MEETING AT NEW MA RE ET. —NEW mARKET, Nov. 22.—Therefomiers of this town and neigh bourhood have fixed a banquet for this day, to which numerous members of parliament and other gentlemen have been invited. Letters apologising for non-acceptance of the invitation have been received from a number of gentlemen of political eminence. Mr. Robert Lowe, M.P., writes:—" The object of your meeting is one which com mands my hearty assent, and I regret the rule which I have laid down for myself compels me to decline your very !tattering invitation." Mr. J. S. Mill, 3l.P.,writing from Avignon, says :—" It gi v e s me great pleasure to receive an account of the emancipation of such a place as Newmarket, and the progress there of the refonu cause. If there were many towns of that size and character which could tell a similar tale, reform would speedily triumph. the It would ded be ver y interesting to me to be pwnt at banquet, but I regret to say th at. independently of my absence from England, the calls upon my time and exertions are such as not to admit of the visit." Professor Fawcett, writes as follows:—" I am reluctantly compelled to decline the very kind invitation to attend the reform ban quet at Newmarket. My professional work has now be gun at Cambridge, and when my lectures have once com menced I remain as much as possible in the university. I have for this reason lately refused to attend public meet lugs, and if I went to one meeting I must to others. Ex cept in my own constituency, I scarcely expect to speak until parliament opens. I sincere l y hope your meeting will prove thoroughly successful."

A melancholy affair is reported by the Banffshire Journal. Early on Friday morning, Miss Catherine Mac pherson, an old lady, living with her sister, bliss Jane Macpherson, at the Falls of Truim, iu the Iladenoch district, Inverness•shire, accidentally set tire to her bed room, and finding herself unable to overcome its progress, she went upstairs to her sister's room, to warn her that there was danger. Miss Jane Macpherson, who was in weakly health, was not able to go down stain, and the maid, who slept in her room, getting up, ran down to obtained assistance—the two ladies remaining in the bed room till the maid should return. The meld went to the lower apartineets and roused the other servants. By the time this was accomplished, however, the tire had spread so far. and crested so dense a smoke as to render return to the room where the ladies ware impossible. Meanwhile, one of the other servants ran to arouse the men at the home farm, which was distant about a quarter of a mile. Several men were soon on the spot, but the thanes by this time were issuing from the second-floor windows under- neath the room in which the ladies were. LidtiCid wt re not at hand by which to enter the upper windows. No other way of gaining admission being practicable, one of the men had to go some distance fur a Loge stone, which was driven through the front door, and an entrance effected. The door of one of the rooms, on the second door of the west wing, was no sooner opened, however, than a cloud of smoke and flames burst out, tilled the passages, and caused the inen to retreat. Three times one of the servants at Falls of 'fruity attempted to forte a passage to the bedroom, but found it impossible. No cry was beard from the bedroom, and no indication observed that would show whether the unfortunate ladies had attempted to find a way of exit from the bed room after the maid left it. It is more than probable that the fear of the moment had disabled them from making any effort to save themselves till it would have been too late for a person of ordinary quickness and power of endu rance to force a way through the smoke and flames. By 10 o'clock the whole of the roof of the house had fallen in, and the who:o interior was ono vast mass of fire, and blazed furiously for several hours. Men were en gaged dining the whole of Saturday turning over all the dibris of the tire, bat they came upon co trace of human remains. The bodies of the uefurtuuate huliis must have been consumed to ashes, having been sub jected to a fresh fire as each floor became ignited by the falling of firebrands from above. In digging in the ruins the workmen found fragments of silver, rod one or two particles of gold, which had been ruched by the fire. THE TRADES REFORM Dtxp.N.-71.yrii)N.—The chairman of the demonstration committee has waited on the solicitors, and explained to them that the secretary had, on the 10th of October, obtidued an agreement from Mr. Adams, representing Mr. E. T. Smith, the present lessee of the grounds, to the effect that Mr. Smith would let the Ashburuham Orouods fur the purpose of the re form demonstration for 101., provided the i.dmission were by ticket, and some other tumor stipulations were com plied with. The solicitors justified the chairman ant semetary for Issuing the placards, hot denied the right of Mr. Adams to let the pLice. The chaitimin explained. that about MO/. had already been expended in printing bills and tickets, and demanded that this money should be repaid unless the meeting were allowed to take place as announced. The solicitors wrote ycatenulay to the chair man, informing hini that they had seen Mr. E. T. Smith, who expressed his ignorance of Mr. Adams's arrangement, and denied that either directly or indirectly he had autho rieed it. He therefore repudiated it. Tile solicitors in formed the chairman and other gentlemen connected with the contemplated meeting that they would be held indi vidually responsible for all or any damage that may occur to Mr. Smith, or his supeilor landlord Mr. Simpson, should the meeting be hell as announced. Upon this the chairman wrote to Mr. liimpson's solicitors, calling upon them to see Mr. Simpson, "that no furthir iuipediment be offered to the hulling of the niteting," and stating that the " committee are quite prepared to give your client or Mr. E. T. Smith a gleirintse to make good any damage that may arise to the property from the meeting being held, though they do nut for ice momout anticipate anything of the sort taking place." So the matter rests for the present." THREE 3i EN DROWNED. —A very and boat acci dent has just been reported from Fleetwood. On Tuesday night, about 9 o'clock, four men, mimed Thomas Sum ner, Hugh Harrison, Richard Jammer, and John Wright (captain), left Fleetwood fur Knot End in two small boats, for the purpose of fetching sonic bal last for their large bawl host. They loaded both boats very heavily, and proceeded on their roturu journey about 11 o'clock. The tide in the Wyre was ebbing, and the current, owing to the recent heavy mimic, was very strong. When they reached a part known in the ne i g hbourhood by the name of the Kauteli, it was found that a considerable quantity of water had been run into the boats. They had not discovered this more than a few moments, before the boats suddenly filled, and the whole of the men were thrown into the rapid stream. Wright, the captain, managed to seize au oar, and by the aid of this kept himself on the surface of the water, but the other three men were carried due in with the water and drowned. Wright screamed for modstance, and a watchman on board • dredge. named T11011)11 Riley, jumped into a boat, went to his rescue, and succeeded in bringing him safe to land. The holy of Sunwer was washed ashore on Kirkskere Bank, off Fleetwood, en Wednesday afternoon ; but nothii g has been Weller heard of the other two. Sumner was a single man, :23 years of age, and was • fisherman. The other two were also toihennun. A LIEHTKEEPEK WASHED FROM rat'; LONOSEIIPS LIGHTHOUSE—On Saturday mousing last a painful ex citement spread amongst the inhabitants of Sennen Cove when they observed hoisted at the Longehips Lighthouse the flag which denoted that something emious had hap pened. There was a Wrong northerly wind at the time, accompanied by a heavy sea, which rendered communica tion from the shore difficult. However, the Trinity and Coastguard boats succeeded in putting off, and, after much toil and risk, reached near enuugh to the Longships to discover that there were only two men visible on the rock instead of three, ale usual number. For the one party to make the other hear was out of the question, and the lightkeepers were obliged to resort to writing on a piece of paper, which paper was secured In • bottle and thrown from the rock into the sea. This con veyed the rad intelligence that one of the party stationed in the lighthouse was, by sonic nirsterious means, missing. It appears that the whole of the three bad breakfasted about half-peat Bin the morning. Shortly afterwards George Bell, the missing man, went out for the purpose of emptying the ashes, and was never seen afterwards. The unfortunate man, who, we are informed. belonged to Lon don, leaves a widow and one chill—Cornish Televraph.
