THE REFORM LELIA:E.—The weekly meeting of the council of this league was held last evening, at the offices, Adelphi-ternice, Mr. Edmund Beales, the president, in the chair. A letter was read from the secretary of the Working Men's Association, inviting the president and council to attend the trade and friendly societies' refonn demonstration on the 3rd of December. A revolution in favour of the acceptance of the invitation, was carried by a majority. Mr. Mantle, a member of the deputation ap pointed to attend the working men's meeting at Dublin, re ported that the minion, as regarded present apparent re sults. was a total failure. He said the meeting was com posed in great part of Fenian' and Orangemen, the latter being the more noisy and dangerous element, as they evi dently attended for the purpose of creating a row. He also wished to mention a fact which be had not seen stated in the papers, viz., that a lump of wood was thrown at Mr. Bright, at the working men's meeting. He be lieved the catholic priests of Ireland were almost to a man in favour of the platform of the Reform League, as they believed it would have the salutary effect of drawing the people from the Fenian movement. REFORM MEETING AT BIRKENHEAD.--On T 11135- ,10 night a public meeting was held in the Workmen's Hall, Birkenhead, to inaugurate the formation of the Birkenhead branch of the National Reform Lague. There was a good attendance, the audience consisting chiefly of working men. Dr. W. H. Miller, of Seacombe, presided. Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were cordially adopted. THE FIRE AT QUEBEC. —Yesterday Mr. Thos. zd Raring, M.P., Mr. Nathaniel Rothschild, M.P., Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., Mr. G. G. Glyn, M.P., Mr. J. S. Morgan, Mr. Russell Sturgis, Mr. A. W. Young, Mr. W. K. Hen derson, members, and Mr. J. M. Grant, the hon. secretary of the committee formed in the City of London for raising a fund for the relief of the distress consequent upon the great fire at Quebec, had an interview by appoint ment with Lord Mayor Phillips at the Manslon.lionse. In the course of the interview, and in reply to the Lord Mayor, Mr. Watkin said the loss by the firs probably could not be put down at less than 600,0001., for the people bad not only lost their houses, but, for the time, their means of subsistence, and it was in every sena, • calamity. After some discussion, it was un seerstary aninwazi , to Y telegraph reu'lv that evening to Mr. Qu G ersee t' a tb4 rt h r . ex -- I. remittent* of 3,500/., thus making the total sum already advised by telegraph 6,0001., exclusive of the 1,0001. sent ' from Manchester. The Lord Mayor said the great object was to roles the money, and to dispense it as fast as it eau» in through the messy of the telegraph.

I R. MADRAS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) 1 Z The half-yearly meeting of the directors was ' held at 1 o'clock at the London Tavern ; Mr. J.I.MRS WALKER in the chair. The report which was issued some time ago, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He said the report referred to the sad effects of the Indian famine. The Madras provinces had happily not suffered to the same extent as the north-eastern provinces and Bengal, and the evil had been much mitigated by the measures adopted by Lord Napier's government. Nothing could remove the evil but a good harvest. The result of the half year's working was satisfactory. The net receipts hail risen from 87,952/. in the corresponding period last year to 117,873/. in the last half-year, being an increase of 34 per cent. In the passenger traffic there was a moderate increase under the revised tariff. The working expenses were 4I; 6-10ths per cent. against 51 7-lOths per cent. in the preceding half-year; and, considering that they were dependent on England for coal and coke, he thought the fact of the working expenses being at so low a rate was very creditable to the manager. He hoped that the whole lien would be completed within the next two years, and they would then have 860 miles of railway. They could not hope for the traffic of su.di teeming provinces as Bengal and Bombay, hut he had no doubt there would be a satisfactory development of traffic. A famine like that which now existed illustrated the value of railway communication, food being conveyed to the suffering districts at a small coat. He then referred to the presence of Mr. H. B. Elwin, agent and manager for the company in India, who was, he said, about to return there, and testified to the very satisfactory manner in which he had discharged his duties, both in relation to the Madras government and the native community. Mr. Elwin having been the manager for five years, had now been engaged for three years more, and he (the chairman) trusted that before the expiration of that period the month-west line at least would be paying its 5 per cent. In reply to a question with regard to fuel, The CHAIRMAN said that coal could be obtained cheaper from England than from the East, while it was worth 30 or 40 per cent. more. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. MISS BURDETT COUTTS AND THE COLONIAL Bisworsics.—ln the course of the judgment delivered by the Master of the Rolls in the cause of " Co lenso r. Cladstone," his lordship stated that Miss Burdett Coutts contributed a large portion of the funds for endowing the bishopric of Natal. This we are informed, is • misapprehension. Miss Coutts took no part whatever in founding that see, the merit of which is chiefly due to the munifi cence of a brother and sister. Neither has that lady hod the remotest connection with the controversies which have been carried on respecting Natal. Miss Contts is, however, the sole foundresa of three other colonial bishoprics, namely, Adelaide, Cape Town, and British Columbia. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIMACY.—It is stated that the Pope has ratified the selection by the priests of the Archdiocese of Armagh of the Very Rev. Dean Kieran, of Dundalk, as successor of the late Most Rev. Dr. Dixon as Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh and Primate. — Northern Whig. MR. LOWE AND CALNE.—It seems that at the last meeting of the Town Council of Calne, when, as we have already stated, the usual dinner of the council was postponed on account of the unwillingness of the mein- hers to meet Mr. Lowe, the mayor put the question — Provided the Hon. It. Lowe be present, who will attend the dinner Only three persons replied that they would. —Star. THE WEXFORD ELECTION. —Mr. Kavanagh, it is said, has the support of the government ; but Mr. Hen nessy is still anxious to serve Lord Derby, though in the Prime Minister's own despite. The chances appear pretty equally balanced ; and whether Mr. Hennessy or Mr. Kavanagh be returned, the result will not affect the division-lists of the House of Commons. The difference between the two rivals is, however, but incon siderable. Mr. Kavanagh is a native of the county, and a country gentleman of great wealth. If he be returned, his physical infirmities, or, as we ought to say, deficien. cies, must render him conspicuous in the House of Com mons. A member without legs or arms, and yet who can still ride to hounds, and be an educated and accomplished gentleman, must secure some attention. He may never attempt to address the house ; but, were he to do so, how he could catch the Speaker's eye, or present him self before his audience, it is not easy to understand. Mr. Kavanagh, if returned, will no doubt assist his party - - — - !by his vote, which is all the government wants, though he irrlONs AGAINST MR.

Mr. Richanls, deputy-coroner, held an inquiry at the Whitehall tavern, Tottenham, last evening, re "acting the suicide of William Brighton, aged 40 years. Sarah Brighton, 13, Moselle-street, Tottenham, said Qat her late husband had been in business as a muter baker until twelve months ago, when he was obliged, through • Insfortune, to go as a journeyman.

Witness rose on Monday morning to get breakfast ready ; upon going back to the deceased in less than an hour she found him haug htily a cord to the foot of the French bedstead. She We an alarm and he was cat down. A nephew of the deceased, a clerk employed on the Great Eastern Railway, said that deceased was dismissed hawse he had spoiled five or six batches of bread. He au often apprehensive of such a result, and said that if it h*PPeaed he did not know what he should be tempted to do• Mr. Stafford Webb, M.R.C.S., said that he was called la to the deceased on Monday morning last, and he found lum quite dead. As the foot of the bedstead was not waive high as the deceased be must have been pos "gel of gre.st determination and ingenuity to hang him self to it. He evidently threw himself off the bed, and Pertly lay al o n g the floor to let his weight come upon The tha rop e . jury returned a verdict of "Suicide while of un- Sound mind." riff DAY.)

ONII o'CLucit. The directors of the Bank of England have to day reduced the rate of discount from 4i per cent., at which it was fixed on the 27th of September, to 4. The weekly return, whioh will be published to-morrow, shows, it is understood, a further dis , tinct improvement in the accounts of the este , blishment. The discount market is quiet to day, and very few transactions have been reported. The rate for choice bills is 3,1 to / per cent., or to below the reduced charge at the Bank. It is questioned, therefore, whether any real increase of business at that establishment will be reported, notwithstand ing the lower terms current there. In the Stock Exchange the quotation for short loans is 3 per cent. _ . The discount establishments have lowered their terms for money at call from 31 to 3 per cent., and at seven or fourteen day's notice from 32 to 3/. The joint-stock banks now allow 3 per cent. for money on deposit, instead of 3i, with the excep tion that the London and Westminster give only 2 per cent. for sums below 500/. The share markets opened flatly this morning, and the tendency towards lower prices has since somewhat increased, but, in the absence of business prices in moat cases are quoted the same as yester day. The reduction in the Bank rate, having been fully expected, has had no favourable effect. Con sols are unchanged, and the movements in English railway stocks and foreign bonds are confined to a few descriptions. Corm°ls are now quoted 89i to J, cum div., for money, and 88i to 1, ex diva for the account (December). Turkish Bonds of 1865 are in demand, and have advanced 1 per cent., but Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Mexican show no change. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 561 i to 57/ ; ditto, 1865, 311 to g ; Greek, In to 141; Spanish Passive, 21 to ; ditto Certificates, 131 to 14 ; Italian of 1861, 54g to I ; Mexican, 16i to 1. United States 15-20 Bonds have improved 1 per cent., viz., to 68Li to 1, but Erie and Illinois Central railway shares are without alteration ; at 501 to 511 and:6l to 771 respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele graph 8 per cent. preference shares are about 2s. 6d. lower ; the former are quoted 14 3-16 to 5-16 ; and the latter, 41 to 1. International Financial shares are quoted to 11 die. ; London Financial, 15ii to 14/ die. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 die. ; Credit Foncier, 50 to 51 die. ; National Discount, 91 to 10 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1. About 81,0001. in bar gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, while 75,000/. sovereigns for Brazil, and 10,000 for Egypt were withdrawn. During the week 212,000/. has been sent in from abroad, and 128,000/. taken out for exportation. The demand for gold fur the continent has diminished, owing to the fineness of the l'aris Exchange. The City of Washington, from New York, has brought 63,000!. in specie. The biddings for bills on India took place yesterda, at the Bank of England. The propor tions allotted were—to Calcutta, 14,55.01 Mors. ; to Madras, 42,000r5. ; and to Bombay, 12.S7,(MMlrs. The minimum price was fixed at Is. 110. for all the Presidencies. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras, at Is. 111 d., will receive about 80 per cent.; and on Bombay, at ls. 1l d. in full. Above these rates in full. It appears from the foregoing that the government minimum was fixed 2 per cent. higher than on the previous occasion ; and the prices paid by the bidders represent, in the ease of Calcutta and Madras, an advance of L, per cent., though the rate on Bombay remains unaltered. It may thus be inferred that the demand for re mittance to the East is still sonioN hat on the increase. Subjoined is a copy of a telegram, dated Bom bay, the 27th lilt. and received yesterday : Exchange on Loinion for a first-class hank bill, A months' sight, per rupee, 2.i. td. ; the Calcutta rite for ditto, per rupee, 2s. ; Exchange on Calcutta it sight,loli to 101 1; Government 4 percent. piper, rs. ; ditto:. ditto, rs. 300 ; ditto 51 ditto, rs. 11 0 4 ; Bank of Bombay rate of discciiint, 8 ; bar gold, 9101, touch, rs. per toll. 1 G 10-10 ; bar silver, 17 to El betterness, rs. per 100 tolas, :1,000 hales cotton stilled front ltombay during the fortnight. The drafty of Messrs. Dent and Co., the in fluential and well-known merchants, of China, have been refused acceptance by their London agents, Messrs. Dent, Palmer. and Co. The house, which has been established many years, and has always occupied a position of the first rank, has agencies at Hong Kong, Shair;liae, and Foo-choo foo. Its partners are Mr. John Dent, Francis Chomley, Henry W. Dent, Alexander Turing, and H. P. Harmsen. The business of the Finn was of great magnitude up to about twelve months ago, and, though it has since been consid•-rally cur tailed, the engagements are roughly estimated at from two to three millions sterling. Mr. ,John Dent, the head partner, returned to London three years ago with a fortune of about 800,001., which he had amassed in China. Upon the formation last year of the Blakely Ordnance Company (which is now being wound up), he joined that concern as chair man, and his cngagcmants in connexion therewith are said to reach 120,000/. The partners have always been considered very wealthy, but about a year ago they suffered a loss of no less than 200,0001. by the inalversations of a Portuguese clerk in their employment at Shanghae, who was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. It is fully expected that the creditors will receive the whole of their claims, the resources of the house being still large. It ill be proper to said that the firm of Dent, Palmer, and Co., of London, is a totally distinct and separate concern from that of Dent and Co., of China. It appears that a number of the shareholders in the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany are proposing to petition parliament, with a view to obtain a searching parliamentary inquiry into the whole of the affairs of that undertaking. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,8661. over last year • the Midland, an increase of 4,9001.; the North L ondon, an increase of 5f141. ; the Great I Western, an increase of 3,6281.: the Great Northern, an increase of 1,938/. ; and the London and South Western, an increase of 804/. Meetings of the creditors of the Agra and Master man's Bank (Limited) are to be held at the London Tavern, as follows, viz., for creditors above 100/., on Monday, the 12th Mat. ; and for creditors of or below 1001., on Tuesday, the 13th. It is explained that this division is necessary, owing to the large number of creditors. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders in Smith, Knigh t, and Company (Limited) is called for the 14th inst., for the purpose of considering the expediency of winding up the com pany voluntarily.' A special general meeting of the shareholders of Halcomb and Compa n y , sack contractors (Limited), is convened for the 15th instant, "for the purpose of confirming a resolution of the board full of directors to allow the members to pay up in f on 2,000 shares in the company." The annual meeting of the ithymney Iron Com pany is called for the 21st inst. The subjoined report on the market for American securities is extracted from the circular of Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. : The business in the London market for American secu rities has again been on a very limited scale, and the transactions which have taken plate have been chiefly on American or continental amount. Quotations show no alteration of an moment, at the close United Stares 5.20 Bonds being 681 to ; Illinois Central shares , 761 to sad Brigs 501 to lg. For Atlantic and Great Westerns Consolidated Bonds we have again tr note a fair inquiry, but the Csdificataii of Debenture have bogus little more offered. ARKET.-(THIS DAY.) MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

He at the same time expressed his t h a t there should be some alteration in -- ro wing to embezzlement, many young o f good character being occasionally charged a, that offence, and the magistrate was compelled to asst theca to the Central Criminal Court, which was likely pre their utter rule. In cases where persons of bad &meter committed an ordinary felony, the magietrates s a the power of dealing with the case summarily ; but in its cite of embezzlement they could not do so, and he considered the law in this respect ought to undergo some ;leaden.

He said that some important moats had been obtained at the residence of one of the primers rinse the last examination, the nature of which it 'odd not be advisable to go into on the pre sent evasion, and he sulked for time to make further in. Ye Bachman said he felt that he could not oppose the application, but he asked that the prisoners for whom he sppeoed ought be admitted to bail. Alderman Ennis said he should certainly not accept tail in such a case as the present. The offence was of Tserious a nature to permit him to think of doing so. he prisoners were then remanded for • week. BOW-STREET. SMILING FRWI CARRIERS' CARTS. John Smith, who described himself as a costermonger, me charged with stealing a box containing 178 books, from the tail board of a carrier's cart. Stephen Lott, carrier, of Tooting, Surrey, said be was drideg his cart yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, having three boxes at the back of the cart, when be perceived that the shafts of the cart sunk, as if a weight had been removed from the Mck. He got down and went behind, when be missed me of the boxes. A passer-by told him that a man had taken it away and pointed to the prisoner, who was making the hest of his way towards Tottenham-court road with the box on his shoulder. Witness followed and overtook him. Upon witness seizing him by the collar, he dropped the box and begged for pardon. He detained the prisoner until the arrival of the policeman on duty in Tot tenham-court-road, Theodore Reilly, 115 E, who took him in custody. Witness did nut know the value of the books. They had been entrusted to him as a carrier in the ordi any way. Reilly. 115 E, said that when he took the prisoner into custody the latter did not say a word. At the station house the prisoner said he had no place of abode. Sir Thomas Henry said this was a kind of offence which was on the increase, and roust be checked. He should ad- Mrn the case for the attendance of the prosecutor, who ns bound to appear, and he should commit the prisoner hit trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CONDITION OP lITDII-PtRK. Catherine Maio., an unfortunate, was charged with Fasonlerly conduct in Hyde-park. Finbow, '2Ol A, proecd seeing the prisoner last night in Hyde-park accosting two gentlemen, and using very vile Lamm towards them, and he then took her into custody. In answer to Mr. Kuox, the constable said he hail lawn the prisoner fur four months. The prisoner said the constable had told a falsehood when he said that he saw her accost two gentlemen. She us only in the park about three minutes. Sextant Savage, 5 A, stated, in answer to Mr. Knox, that he bad known the prisoner as a frequenter of the park for some months, and Fassuidge, F. 04 A, said she was Leidy in the park, and he saw her accost a gentleman hit Aiiiht.

The descent from the upper ground being abrupt, and the nature of the rock loose and friable, the under taking was one of difficulty and danger, as was unhappily proved by one of the ladies falling from • considerable height, whereby she sustained such severe injuries that her death ensued three days later. FIRE AT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY S GARDEN/4. A fire was discovered in the giraffe house in the Zoological Society's gardens, Regent's-park, last night, about 7 o'clock, after the visitors had all left. Luckily it was quickly ex tinguished, bet not until two of the society's fine stud of giraffes ha,' perished. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a fuzee or Inci t e r havin g been dropped accident ally among the straw. and subsequently ignited by one of the animals treading upon it. The value of the giraffes is estimated at 5501., but the loss is amply covered by insurances. AN AMERICAN CENTENARIAN. —The Chambers /Afro ‘Pa.l Repository says :—" Mrs. Mary Andrews died at Strasburg, in this county, on the 22nd ult., at the ad vanced age of 105 years. With what respect and awe should poor hums. ity look upon such • duration of life. Born two years before the end of the French and Indian war, four years before the famous Stamp Act was passed, fifteen years before the declaration of independence, thirty-eight years before the death of Washington, fifty one years before the war of 1812, one hundred years old at 1 the outbreak of the Southern rebellion.
