The following telegram has been received at Mr. Router's office from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company : " almisznxxs, Dec. 16. " The Euxine, with the Bombay mail of Nov. 27, arrived here this day at 8 a.m. "The snail leaves for London at 11.30 a.m." MR., COBDEN, M.P., AT MIDBURST. MIDEURST, TIJESDAY. This afternoon Mr. Cobden, M.P., addressed a public roosting of the inhabitants of Ididharst, on a requiid tion made by them, with reference to the distanos in the manufactaring district& The meeting, which was densely crowded, was held at the Assemblyitooms in that town, Mr. T. A. DAVIES presid ing, and Mr. /dittoed, M.P. for the borough, being also present. lir. 0011DM entered into a description of some of the peculiarities of the cotton trade, its vicissitude., and the industry which is displayed in it. He proceeded to show that slavery was the mum of the American war, and toftix press • hope that whatever may be the temporary aufferingeme may have to go through, we may never return to the time when the vast fabric of this industry shall have for its basis and foundation that odious system of slavery which exists in America. Mr. Cobden continued : , I came from Scotland sot long ago, through Carlisle I Preston, Chorley, and Bolton to Manchester, and I passed through• oontinued forest of smokeless chimneys. Not 1 one of those vast mills was producing one farthing—not one i of the cottages was paying rent, and yet all the buildings and ; cottages were still paying poor-rates. I say then that I think it would be • wise thing if this property could be exempted so as to save the most precious possession we have in Lan- 1 cubits to the men who are at the head of these establish. ments, whose ingenuity and skill are necessary for con. 1 ducting them. It is their capital alone which can give the employment so long afforded. Let the capital be destroyed : and the mills must be dismembered and the machinery wad I es old iron, in order to pay the rates ; or another process may_ go on, the mills may be dismembered because they &LB so longer be liable to pay the poor - rate , inasmuch as it is only while they have machinery in them that they are liable to pay it. (Hear, hear.) I speak this only in re. ferenoe to the future. It may be said that we shall not see things go so bad as that. Sanguine men have told us that next year there will be cotton enough from other sources than America to supply the mills and machinery of Lancashire with half work—that is, that three days' work a week may be had out of Indian and other cotton. But my experience of that business does not lead me to expect that it would be of much service to the capitalist classes to have only half the cotton they have machinery to spin. They would simply become the sport .r of the people who hold that cot ton. (Hear.) Their exigencies would always render it impossible that they could work it to a profit, and I see scarcely any difference in having no cotton at all and hav ing three days' supply • week of Sand cotton, which is so difficult to work and so unproductive. I think the people of this country have made • most noble response to the appeal that has been made to them. (Cheers.) Some are proud of being Englishmen because we have a great army and • great navy, others because we have a vast manufacturing community, others because we are good farmers, and others because we have a great and magnificent metropolis, out rivalling all the capitals of the known world. But lam proud when I think of what the English nation has done in consequence of the appeal which has been made to them. It baa been an outguahing of generosity such as Ido net believe the whole world could have equalled. (Hear.) But when I speak in such lavish terms of admiration of what has been done, it is dreadful to think how incommen surate what has been done, or is likely to be done, will be to the necessities of the case. I stated that at the present moment the falling-off in wages is at the rate of 9,000,0001. a year. I said at Manchester that we should raise a mil lion of money by voluntary contribatioes. That million will be raised, but it is lamentable to think that it is only six weeks' wages for those out of employment. It seems as of the emergency is so gigantic that it prevails over all pos sible means of dealing with it. It is a very serious question, I assure you, to have hundreds and thousands of people suddenly thrown out of employment and cast into • state of idleness. The millowners of Lancashire have not only had to find the means of obtaining food for the people, but immediately this calamity fall upon them they had to con sider how they could find occupation, and amusement, and excitement, in order to prevent them from becoming a prey to that depression of spirits which leads to fever, or to that idleness which might lead to vice and abandonment. (Hear, hear.) I was greatly interested when I was hut in Lanca shire in seeing the mesas which had been taken toaccomplish that object. The salf-devotion of the ladies in encouraging a system of sewing schools, and the energy, amid ability, and untiring industry shown by the manufacturers io forming schools for young men, were beyond all praise. (Cheers.) In some of these schools which I have recently visited not only have I seen youth engaged in study, but men bald and grey, who, for the fi rst time probably in their lives , were occupied with their hooks and their slates, and who, when, it is to be hoped, at some future day, when prosperity return., will remember the Lancashire steam of distress as the first moo nient at which they were taught to read, and to obtain that means of knowledge and recrodiou which are so useful to mankind. Not only are they worthy of every help, but every person who is able by his sympathy, or by going among these people encouraging them to support the dis tress they are suffering with patience, will confer a real good ; and I have no hesitation in saying that probably that expression of sympathy on the part of the highest classes has done more to keep the people of Lancashire content, and quiet, and pacified during that ordeal than anything else. (Hear, hear.) I have no hesitation in stating that it is that more than asp thing besides which ha kept the people in Lancashire coo tent, and quiet, and pacified during all the ordeal through which they have passed. b. ed. Os. Id. 06 64. Mr. Mrrrozw, M. P., subsequently addressed the meeting, soda resolution was agreed to i pp riot* a committee to receive subscriptions for the relict °Ube didresa. A °enlist rote of thanks was also pawed to Mr. Cobden. EARnoatrAms IN Autism—The shock of in earthquake was felt in several parts of Algeria et midnight on the 29th of November. All the clocl.e stopped which fond north and south. Those which faced east and west kept going. It is inferred, therefore, that the shook passed from north to south. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The Crystal Palace has been gradually righting itself for the last few years, and this season, after providing for every contingency, it has ea rned a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum. This, if not brilliant, is highly satiafactory, even after allowing for the exceptional attendances of the Exhibition year. The facts and figures of the report seem to promise an increase of prosperity in the future, and they are sufficiently remarkable in themselves apart from the inferences drawn from them. The total number of visitors during the year ending Oct. 31st has been over two millions, and the return on August 19th, the " Foresters' day," was not only greater than any other daily return since the building has been open, but greater by more than 15000 visitors than that of the most crowded day at the International Exhibition. The numberspresent were 83,721. Days like these natu rally strain the resources of Mr. Strange, the refresh ment contractor, to the utmost. Knives, forks, plates, and spoons are scattered all over the build ing and far away across the unds. Some are found mouths afterwards, .wn, rusty, and broken, in the shrubberies, or on the geological Wend ; pork pies and ale bottles stray into the Alhambra and Assyrian courts, broken sandwiches ate fentid id the Hall of !Alas or the Pompeian Exhibition ; soda water bottles divide the pools with gold fish and floating lilies, and generally there is the usual mess which might be expected after such a large and unmanageable party. It is plea sant to find that the directors are satisfied with Mr. Strange's administration of the refreshment department, and that the public, if we are to judge by the small number of complaints, are of the same opinion as the directors. The income which the shareholders have derived from this source during the year has been nearly twenty-three thousand pounds, or within seven thousand pounds of the sum drawn from Messrs. Morriah and Veil lard at the International Exhibition. At Brompton the visitors exceeded six millions ; at Sydenbam they were only two millions, so that the refreshment contract accepted by Mr. Strange has been more than twice as productive to the shareholders in pro portion as the Brompton contrasts were to the Royal Commissioners. The receipts from the great musical performances are very large, and the expenditure in getting up these striking entertainments is liberal in the extreme. The Handel Festival may be particularly referred to. That festival this year produced more than twenty-five thousand pounds, and cost more than eighteen thousand pounds, leaving a net profit of seven thousand pounds. The admissions on ordi nary half-crown days reached about nine thou sand pounds, and on shilling days about seventy four thousand pounds, together eighty-three thou sand pounds, and this exclusive of receipts from reserved seats. The rental from industrial and general exhibitors was about fourteen thousand pounds—an enormous sum to draw from a borer in the suburbs. The income from this source shows a steady rate of increase, which is highly enoouraging to the share holders. The Art-Union does not appear to be very productive, as it brought in only one hundred and sixty-two pounds odd in the shape of rant, but the tees received in the School of Art amounted this year to seven hundred and four pounds. The waiting and cloak rooms produced nearly two thousand three hundred pounds, or nearly half as much as the cloak rooms and umbrella stands at the International Exhibition. The cost of maintaining the building is, of course, very great, but this is in a fair way of being re duced. About sixteen thousand pounds has been spent in this way daring the year, and this.gardans and grounds have cost about eight thousand pounds. The waterengines and waterworks have also sucked up at least two thousand pounds. The mu sical charges have been about six thousand pounds; and the special attractions—ench as Blondin— coet about seventeen thousand pounds. The charge for general management is about eight thousand pounds, and the direction and audit cost only seven hundred and thirty-five pounds. These figures of I course r apply to the year ending October 31. The 'roes income of the company during that period, drawn from a variety of sources both inside and outside the building and grounds, was nearly one hundred and forty-six thousand pounds. The gross expenditure of the company during the same period was a little over eighty-five thousand pounds, leaving a baltnee to be carried to the general revenue account of nearly sixty-one thou sand pounds. THE WESTMINSTER PLAY. The Ar.drian of Terence is the Westminster play this year. Last year, in consequence of the deaths in the royal family, this usual forerunner of the Christmas holidays was abandoned, and the previous year the Trio unimus of Plautus was the drama selected for repre sentation. The Roman repertory is, indeed, a very scanty one, nor in our estimation is there much muse for regret that it is not more extensive. Of the twentyeix plays attributed to these ROD= slaves—for dramatic writing was in those days very much of a servile occupation—Lord Dundreary would find it difficult to count ten distinct characters on both his hands. The plot of the disdrian is by no means devoid of merit, but the misfortune is that It is developed in • narrative rather than in • dramatic form. Modern ideas of propriety would perhaps be shocked at some of the incidents, and the omission of certain lines of the text scarcely Orvieto, the indelicacy of the exposure of a new born infant ow the stage. But perhaps the Greeks, like Magdelon in the Preektllell Ridicides of Moliere, were of opinion that "le mikes oe dolt jamais arriver qu'apres lee sutras &ven tures." Whatever opinion may be held is to the pro priety of young men learning by heart and representing before their professors and before ladies these forms of ancient manners, there can be none as to the fidelity and honourable conduct of the principal character, Pamphilus ; and in this respect, at least, • useful moral even for modern times may be drawn from • drama composed more than 150 years before the Christian era The following is the cast of the play : Sims N. W. I'. Bosanquct. &Mil& A. Y. M. Downie. Davos tsysis Pamphilus Chariton A. Ilionrert. _ _ . Byrrhut Linbia Chremes Crito Brume A. r Winter. J. H. ettepmelL F. T. Mooney. 0. H. Pember.

The acting of the young gentlemen is of that kind which has long been familiar to the audiences of Westiniarter Plays, consisting rather of a careful adoption of stereotyp►d forms and prescribed interpretations than of bold attempts in new paths. The strain of the play devolves on the slave Davila, sad the rendering of the part by Mr. O'Brien is very effective. Be has oommitted it well to memory, and not only delivers the language trippingly frees the tongue, but gives it meaning and colouring, as was well said of one of the ancient actors—loourici mans. Pamphilus was represented with spirit and readiness by Mr. Phillimore, while the less impetuous lover Charinus was rendered in a very prominent, yet unobtrusive, manner by Mr. Stewart. So far as the acting went, the representation was on the whole most excellent. Though Thursday was the first tight of the performance, the prologue end epilogue were not delivered till lut sight, such being the usage of the school from time immemorial. Amongst than present last night were the Earl of Clare.. deo, the Earl of Devoe, the Very Rev. the Dean of West minster, Mr. Walpole, 111.

TER SHIP CANAL PROM AMSTERDAM THROUGH NORTH HOLLAND TOWARDS THE SRA. _ This new canal, mentioned in yesterday'b tele grams, will be 13 mile* long, 200 feet wide, and 24 feet deep, and will shorten the distance from Amsterdam to London, and all porta south of the Tend, by about eighty mare; so that vessels will now be enabled to reach the sea in • few boon, whereas the present journey over the Simluger and the North Holland Canal now occupies several days, and sometimes weeks. In order to form a este sea entrance to the canal it will be =emery to construct enormous sluices and an artificial harbour on the unprotected coast of Holland, the piers of which will extend more than • mile into the sea. This will be the chief engineering difficulty to be overcome. With the undertaking is connected the reclamation of the Y, contain ing 15,000 acres of rich alluvial clay, and when reclaimed is estimated to be worth one million starling. The total capital required is estimated et a million and a half sterling, upon which the Dutch government guarantee an interest of 4g per cent. The cowesaionairee are Mr. J. G. Jager, of Amsterdam, and the English engineers, Mews. B. W. Croker and Charles Burn. Thew gentlemen bays been Wu vein maturing this project, the concession having been originally asked in 1852. THE EMANCIPATION OP THE SLATES. At the meeting held in Cleticenwell on Monday evening, the Hon. and Rev. Barrier Nom. moved, " That, in the judgment of the meeting, the govern ment and people of the United States having freed them selves from the guilt of complicity with slavery, and being enpged in a deadly struggle with the rebellious upholders of the atrocious system, are entitled to the warmest sympathy of the British peoples" The in which the North was engsged was extremely deadly, and it was the more to be deplored because the fora, of the South very much rested on tyranny over the labouring elms. The Southerners were apparently 'in numbers, because the white men could be := to fight, inasmuch as the labour was ooaducted by Mayes. He believed that many of the white population had been forted into the army, and that even Unionists had been compelled to enter the Southern army. But this system was as exhausting as it was for the time effectual, and be thought the end might come sooner than some of the friends of liberty imagined. The rebellion had been of the most flagrant character, and every English man who supported it supported a most causeless and crimi nal proceeding. (Approbation.) It had been almost un paralleled, because rebellious had been raised to secure liberty, whereas the rebellion of the South had been got up to uphold tyranny. The rebellion was, therefor*, most atrocious. He thought the Northern side had now cleared itself from the guilt of complicity with slavery and that on this amount it deserved lEnglish sympathy. (Applause.) No ditch there were ember reams complications connected with the question, but still be thought they might be unravelled. The government of America had heartily crushed theelave trade, and they had, as justice required, executed the captain of a slave ship. That government bad recognised the republics of Hayti and and had admitted their coloured representatives to attend on en equality with the smbamadon of other na time on official occasion* The government had done more than this: it had declared that the territorial should be free of the stain and guilt of slavery. Slavery had also been abolished in Columbia. Mr. Lincoln had proposed his scheme of compensated emancipation, and it had at the time been laughed at. But he had persevered in a policy which ha ( r. Noel) thought was worthy of com mendation. Than the preelamabon of freeing the slaves in the rebel States bad bean Issued. But it was said that this proclamation was founded on the confiscation of pro! perky. The proclamation, however, could not be called lawless, because Compass had commiesioned Mr. Lincoln to amp to the traitors the punishment to which they had laid themselves open. The set of Mr. Lincoln would set four millions of slaves free. He (Hr. Noel) believed that the President's motives were per., but that was not a question which the meeting had tedecida If they wished to see freedom triumph, and not to see the lave-holden have al the freedom for themselves, they would cordially support the efforts which the North was making for emianci- Fitton. (Loud cheers.) • The resolution, on being put, was canted all but wield , snoody, thus being col, or anendent. THB CASE OP THE BEV. MB. SPLAUGHLIN. The proposed action of suspension and liberation in the case of the Rev. P. Ilrlaughlin has not been pre , oeeded with, there being no legal pound', indeed, on whidi such action could emeriti:illy be raised. Possibly • better plan, and certainly one which has more prospect of enemas, Malawi adopted by the Right Rey. Bishop Murdoch, who, on Saturday last, d esp a inh ed to Sir G. Grey a petition couched in bumble and respectful terms, soliciting a mitip tion of the sentence passed on the contumacious priest. Mr. ll'Leughlin's oosduct throughout the ease does not meet with the complete approbation of the more intelligent of the Roman mitholics in the city, and we understand that Bishop Murdoch supports his peti tion, not on any ground that injustice has been dose, or that the law of the country has been unfairly exercised, but sim ply that, though the Bey. Mr. M'Laughlin erred, be did so for conscience sake, and hes, considering the circumstances of the whole case, bees too severely treated. The memorial states the case at length. It is expected that it will meet with an immediate and favourable reply from Sir George Grey, so as to allow Mr. Mlanghliii to be pre. seat with his flock at the approaching high festi val d the "church." Meanwhile, his presence in the North Priam has caused thitherward a perpetual stream of reverend gentlemen and admiring lake, Mr. li'Lauglilia being for the nonce elevated into the temporary popularity of a Roman catholic martyr. In accordance with the prison rules—the law being no respecter of persons—he has ex cheesed the broadcloth for the usual prison garb, and is employed, wo understand,. in the somewhat monotonous task of picking cotton. It i s but justice to the rev. gentle , man to add that, sines entering prison—meeting, of course. with respectful treatment —he has shown the spirit of a gentleman sad • Milian in accommodating himself to the ides which the prises elleiala are obliged to enforce. —Glasgow Morning Journal. PROPOSRD DINNER TO LORD PALMERSTON AT EDINBURGH.—A meeting of the conveners of the liberal committee was held on Monday, in the Waterloo Hotel, Edin burgh, to consider the desirability of inviting Lord Palmer ston to a public diaper during his approaching visit to Scotland. Sir William Gibson Craig was called to the chair, and the following resolutions were unanimously and medially agreed to That, in the prospect of Lord f'alm. an paying au early visit to Sootlsod in connexion with his office of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, it is desirable that public expression should be given to the admiration so generally entertained of his lordship's Misfit policy and valuable services as a statesman, and of the vigil aim and success with which, in the true iuteresta of pesos. he has promoted the safety and maintained the honour a the country. That Lord Palmerston be respectfully so licited to accept a public entertainment in the city of Edin burgh on ea early a day as may be remittent with his lord shun convenient's." A third resolution appointed a com mittee to make the xisormary arrangements in the event of Lind Palmerston's acceptaaes. Ma. JOHN LOCUS, M.P., AND HIS CONNTI- Tcßwrs.—Last evening 31r. Locks, M.P. for Southwark, addressed a meeting of his conatituents at the Bridge-hones Hotel, lotideo.birelge. Dr. Chatham was called to the chair. Mr. Locke was received with loud cheers. Atka referring to some local topics, the hon. member proceeded to take a general review of the proceedings of the last session and the part he had taken in them. He bad, he said, sup ported the Abolition of Whipping Bill for juvenile offenders, although he should not object to support a bill for the whipping of garotters. (A laugh.) The country might, he remarked, congratulate itself upon the results of the Fiench treaty, of which he had been a strong supporter. He considered the foreign policy of the government during the last session worthy of all commen dation. There was a strong party in the House of Commons in favour of intervention in American affairs, but the government bad refused to intervene, and he believed it had done right. (Loud cheers.) He contested himself confused on American subjects, but one thing was Blear to him, that one inevitable result of the preeent struggle would be the complete and total abolition of slavery. (Cheers.) He approved of the conduct of the government on the subject of the fortifications, but be believed a con. adorable reduction of expenditure would be proposed in the next seance to parliament, which should have his earnest support. Several questions having been asked, and aatiotsc torily answered, a vote of confidence . and thanks to the boo. gentlemen for his constant advocacy of every liberal measure and unvarying watchfulness of the local interests of the borough was unanimously adopted. On Saturday last (says the Freeman's Journal) Sir Robert Peel visited the Catholic University is Ireland, the Chief Secretary being accompanied by Dr. Nugent, Inepec tor•General of Lunatic Asylums. the visit was private and unofficial, no intimation has* hese given of the Chief i Secretary's intention. Rev. A. OleughlU, Dean of St. Patrick's Collegiate Horne, atteeded Sir Robert Peel, and showed the party through the lecture halls, the librery, and other rooms of the temporary university boildisp. As it wee near four o'clock when the visit took place, the lectures for the day bad rioted. • Minerviurior PR= HOSPITAL, DEVONSIITIR SWAIM CITT.—Tbe aggregate number of patients relieved IMiring the week ending December 13 was —Medial, 1,379 ; aurprel, 648—total, 2,027 ; of which OM were new cases.
