SUDDEN DEATH IN TUN HT/Mfr.—Yesterday a painful sensation was occasioned in Reading by an awful instance of the uncertainty of human life. A corn porter, named Frederick Waken, about fifty years of age, went to the Wheel public-bouse, in Friar-street, for the pur pose of fetching his truck, when by some means he ruptured a blood-vessel, and, falling down in the street, expired almost immediately. The body of the unfor tunate man was conveyed to his residence upon the very truck for which he had gone to the Wheel Inn only a short time previously. 000Da TRAINO.—The goods traffic on our main lines is now enormous, and it is on the increase. Its pro ceeds, we believe, often exceed that of the passenger traffic, and though it may be carried on to • great extent at night, yet there are trains enough in the day time to create serious embarrassment and danger to the other branch of the service. It has long been noted that the lines with the least goods traffic enjoy singular immunity from accidents. The wonder, indeed, is, on a line like that from Chester to Holyhead, how the work is done as well as we see; but every fresh inquiry into the Abergeln disaster tends to show what risks must needs be inci dental to such • crush of business. That tan minutes rule, for instance, of which so much has been said, was certainly a must reasonable cos, and yet we have been officially informed that it did not appl y t to the North- Western IMes. It was designed for ' foreign" lines— that is to say, lines not under the company ' s immediate control; so that it would seem to resemble &species of ex traordinary precaution, and, indeed, it Wears to be doubted by all concerned whether an Wisest of tea minutes to be invariably maintained between one train and another would allow of the despatch of all the trains running in the twenty-four boars. The result, no doubt, is simply a consequence of an unexpecte d overgrowth of tree* but we have bad only too many warnings of the catastrophes to which it may load.—ltinee.

Ytotorday a meeting of tho supporteri of Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., ?LP., was held at No. 63, Oloueester-place, Portman-equare, for purpose of considering the means t o b e a d op t e d f or bemiring the return of Yr. Chambers es one of the members for the borough at the forthcoming election. Amongst the nu menus attendance of gentlemen were—Mr. Alderman Salomon N.P., Mr. A. N. Shaw, Mr. Rosa Yr. Fermis, Yr. Beaton, Mr. Closest Norio Yr. Silas Taylor, Yr. Newton, Cr. Smith, Yr. Bnakeshom Mr. Noon, mr. Maybe, Yr. Robinson, Kr. aide. Mr. Jonathan Salter, Yr. Watson, Ile. Kr. A. N. SILT was voted to the chair._ In the evening Mr. Chambers addressed • crowded meeting in the St. Pancras Vestry-hell, Mr. Church warden Furniss in the chair. A number of questions were put to Mr. Chambers, and having been answered, • vote of confidence is him was carried by a great majority over an amendment is favour of Dr. Sandwith's candid•tute. CPIT op LONDOW.—A meeting of the mem bars of the Hishopegate Ward Ratepayers' Association was held on the 6th inst.—Mr. John Rsehardson, in the chair. The chairman spoke in reference to the great eliution requisite in connection with the three-cornered constituency at the approaching election of members of parliament for the city of London, when a dismission ensued urging the desirability of ire members taking an active jpart in an organisation for the successful return of four liberal members to parliament. The following notice of motion was given by the chairman :—" That a muting of the members of the Bishopsgate Ward Ratepayers' As sociation be held on Tuesday next, 13th inst., to consider the beat means to be adopted to secure the return of the four liberal candidates for the city of London." It was proposed by Mr. Churchwarden Beeps, and seconded by Mr. Joseph Morris, and resolved—" That each member of this association be kindly requested to bring any friends interested favourably to the return of the four liberal candidates." Messrs. meet, Cartwright, and others addressed the meeting, strongly advising the necessity of all the Liberal Ward Ratepayers' Associations of the city of London at once taking immediate steps for the success of so desirable • result. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed a meet 1111/11i11101111 meeting. CHELSEA.—An influential meeting of the liberal electors was last night held at the Crown and Sceptre, Kensington. Mr. T. G. Snell presided. Sir Henry Hoare said be was in a very peculiar position, because be had been first in the.field and yet he was accused of having divided the liberal interests. He had been invited to con test the county of Middlesex in the liberal interest, but being a long distance from London he did not receive the invitation in time to respond to it, and his late colleague at Windsor (Mr. Labouchere) stood in his steed. Mr. Wentworth Dilk• was then in the field, having accepted the invitation of an influential section of the electors, and he (Sir H. Hoare) at once issued his address, and it could not be fairly said that he:came forward asa rich man too early, and so prevented others from coming forward. The blame of dividing the liberal party was due to others, and not to him. In 1866 . when in the House of Commons, he closed the debate on Sir John Gray's motion for an inquiry into the grievances of Ireland, which of course included the Irish church, with these words: " If Sir John Gray will only press it to • division, I will follow him into the lobby even if ah ne." A vote of confidence was passed in the hou. baronet, and the meeting terminated. On the same evening Sir li. Hoare held a second meeting Oil Kensington, which was also a very enthusiastic one. On Tuesday evening! Sir Henry addressed a very large and influential meeting of electors at the Drill-hall, Col lege-street, Fulham-road, Dr. Daniel in the chair. Sir Henry spoke for an hour on the imperial and local topics of the day, and was loudly cheered throughout his speech, and at its close received quite an ovation. A resolution, pledging the meeting to support Sr Henry, was carried by acclamation. Sir Henry afterwards addressed • moot ing in the Stanley Ward, when he received the same hearty support. Gitii Last night Alderman Sitlomone, M. l'., addressed a crowded public meeting of his consti tuents residing at Woolwich, Charlton, and Plump'itesd, at the Lecture-hall, Woolwich. A resolution pledging the meeting to support Alderman Salomon* at the next election wee unanimously adopted. HACKNEY.-31r. Charles Reed, one of the liberal candidates for the borough of Hackney, addressed a crowded meeting lad evening at the new Town-hall, Hackney, the chair being occupied by Mr. 0. B. Woolley. Mr. Reed, who on rising was received with loud cheering, said, in the course of a very exhaustive speech, that he entirely concurred with the proposed disestablish ment of the Irish church, and - should, if returned, support Mr. Gladstone in the House of Commons. Re ferring to the Reform Bill, he desired to see the rate paying clauses abolished, and the measure fairly settled on the basis of free and unrestricted household suffrage. He also should 'Avocete a comprehensive scheme of national education without additional tax ation, and retrenchment in the present expenditure, which he denounced as wasteful in the extreme. Having touched upon other general topics, the pro ceedings were brought to a close_ by a resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr. Reed, which was all but unanimously carried amid loud cheering. LYNN.—Mr. Anthony Trollope has decided not to come forward as one of the liberal candidates for King's Lynn. SHEFFIELD.—Mr. Price, Q.C., the conservative candidate, yesterday addressed • monster meeting in Paradise-square. lie spoke in favour of the legalisation of trades unions and of the legislative restriction of the number of apprentices. The learned candidate was atten tively listened to, and • vote of thanks was passed to him at the close. A resolution in favour of the candidature of Mr. Hadfield and Mr. Mundell& was carried by an overwhelming majority. The address of Mr. Mundella has been issued. Sorra-Warr TANCASTIIRE.—The election cam paign in South-West Lancashire, the result of which will be waited for with so much interest by the country, will commence in earnest next week. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. °rental' will address the electors at Warrington on Mon day next, and again at Liverpool on Wednesday. An now:momenta are also made, for addresses by the conserva tive candidates. _ _ ENT - ..—On Tneeday evening the liberal candidates for West Kent, Sir John Lubbock, Bart, and Mr. Angentein, addressed a numerously attended public meeting of the electors at the school room, Ingress Vale, GreenbitLe. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. B. White, and a resolution pledging the meeting to support both candidates was unanimously adopted. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.—Mr. Spenoer Ferceval, the revising barrister for the city of London, met the liberal and conservative agents in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, this afternoon, and arranged the order of the appeals. They include three questions. The first is whether a room in the Temple constitutes an entire house, the second has reference to the female franchise, and the third doals with the description of the landlord. Lew ILEFORM.—A SANGUINE VlEW.—Happily it is not • party question. It matters not who is chan cellor, whether Lord Cairns or Sir Boundell Palmer, these eminent men are upon this subject equally enlightened, and will each cordially co-operate with the other in the advancement of this great object—the improvement of our civil procedure. They will be aided also, to the ut most, by an eminent person who, happily, occupies the highest position in our common law judicature, we mean Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of Eng land, whose enlarged and enlightened mind would lead him to adopt and advocate any e measure of legal reform, and whose authori would lend it great weight. He is the senior surviving member of the Com mon Law Commission of 1860, which did so much to im prove our procedure, and recommended the salutary pro visions to which we have adverted ; and it was under stood that his views were far more advanced than those of his coadjutors; nor can it be doubted that he would dadly lend hie aid to carry out the principles then laid own. There are, moreover, still three more judges the bench who were members of that commission: Martin, Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Justice Willa, all men of sound sense, of great legal learning, and of great ex perience. And happily the bench, as it is now constituted largely—one might my entirely--ocenposed of men at once enlightened and experienced; such men, for in stance, as Sir H. Keating, whose name has been already mentioned as that of a law reformer, and the author of • very valuable measure; Mr. Justice Montague Smith, • man of vast experience and cultured mind; Mr. Justice Mellor, • man of very sound judgment ; and last, not least, Mr. Justice Blackburn, who combines in • rare de gree deep learning with common sense ; from such man law reform will meet with no objection or obstruction. Nor is this all : there has lately been added to the Bench a man of the same order of mind as Mr. Justice Wiles, we mean Mr. Justice Hannan, • man evidently learned, liberal, anal enlightened. Than there are men like that eminent judge Sir James Wilde, with minds at once elegal and practical, who would lend all their aid reform. In parliament, again, there are manlike Mr.yrton and Mr. Tomas on one ode, and Mr. Henke and Mr. Hardy on the other; to say nothing of ap se liberal lawyers like Coleridge, Mr. Denman, and Sir B. Collier, who would lend all their assistance. Anyhow, we rejoice to think, considering the construction of the com mission now ratting, and that it includes the honoured name of Sir William Erls—a man in whom liberal views are happily blended with matured experience—no doubt can be entertained that, next session, we shall sera • yin's and *skiable reform of our civil procedure.— Wiettilitultr nevi w, new number. MR. CARDWELL, M.P., AT OXFORD. On Tuesday evening last a dinner of Oxford Oildfellows was held in tho Town-ball, nailer the presi dency of the NATO*, w h en M r . Cardwell attended, sad the new candidates for the representation of the city, Dr. Deane and Mr. Vernon Hamm* were also present In acknowledging the toast of "The City Members, ,, Mr. Caminsix, after • few introductory observations, said—The twopnaospel measures of the last quarter o f a cannily, for which this existing pediment has been dile tinfundted, have beim measures of • " social Mance" character. They have now, I think, both ceased to be quettiMie of Condo Yew, and therefore I think with out fear I may rider to them withent toe epos prohibited ground. One has bees the P6lllO shm by step, of many burdens which fettered the and hindered the comforts of all cleans of the community, but chisay those who lived by Mhos. It was my fortune to eater parliament fret jail at that time that ell my earliest votes were &el k of the jest measures of that policy the remit of which has been like the meal and ernes of oil 4:11 the widow sent to Zlijalt, as recorded in Holy Seraphim; it has furnished abund an t cause o f comfort to the se mi enmity at large, and, instead of dinsinimbing, it bas rather tended to increase the revenue resetvid by the (Chem.) The other measure is that witch ha Tr :berin paned ter admitting into the baseille sad privileges of the trembles meth larger claim of tie ems annuity. M belief is also that an impulse wall be to the co raflom of questions of • algal character. Of theme no doubt the chief will be the gaistios of Mesa tion. That question is nowhere to anterestisg as it is Oxford, nor km there beim say time when it has bees more intereeting then at that whoa I now edition= It is a source of mist satisfaction to tee to that the chimes of Oxford are now swaged fa amicable communication with the authorities el the univer sity with • view to the extension of the edem a s zlearsity education in • manner that tari the city not only' to the university and city of Oxford, but etitineatly Cantles:live to the general welfare of the country. I for four advan tages chiefly from these various changes. In the that place, the university extension should yield an increase of the high style of learning, which is properly rolled sea demical, among a much larger circle of the eimenaity than have hitherto enjoyed it, so that instead of being a privilege to the few at may in future be the possaston and inheritance of many. (Cheers.) The second ad vantage I hope will be, that the union of the higher edu cation may not be limited to these who have the direct enjoyment of it, but that, parcolatang by the influence of one clam to the teachers of - another it may communicate itself throughout the whole, and improve the character of the teaching of the country. ffs.) As a third advantage, I hope that those large educational charities which aroscattered through the count/ vi and which it is my conviction contribute much less than maybe made so to contribute to the furtherance o tho • for which they were originally founded, in the benefit of the community at large. (Cheers.) Fourthly, but not least, I hope that the education of every class will be good of its kind—"the primary," as it is called, the secondary, and the highest ; and that there will be established that con. nection and inter-dependence which will enable talent and merit, in whatever strata of society . they may be found, to have the utmost facility of rising to the highest station to which they can advance. (Loud cheers.) I believe we shall in • few years in a great measure attain this, and then I true t that the education of this country may fairly bo compared to • pyramid, of which the broad hasty shall be xa-extensive to the whole body of the people —of which the parts shall be completely cemented and compacted together—of which the universities—and not least this one—Aall be the apex and the capital. (Cheers.) I would just observe to you upon th e events which have happened within the last week in a neighbouring country of Europe, that when you see, first the navy and then the army, and next the people all as if by one consent rising in rebellion against their government—when you are without a conflict worthy of the nano a sovereign in exile and a government overthrown, does it not awaken in your hearts • sense of the de e pest thankfulness, and a sense of the inestimable blessings of that people whose Queen is enthroned in the hearts and affections of her subjects—whore government is founded upon • broad and popular basis—and the conduct of whose affairs is guided by the wi.shes and convictions of the community ?

The balf-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at the London Tavern at 1 o'clock, Mr. T. M. WDDITLIN. M.P., in the chair. The report, issued some time before, having been taken as read. The Citsrxrur moved its adoption. no commenced by alluding to the loss which the board and the company had sustained by the death of Mr. Sheffield Heave. He then went on to say that that was tho first meeting at which the directors had been able to announce that the nominal expenditure was more than covered by the receipts ; and that he hoped the report was regarded as satisfactory. (Cheers.) They could not have divided more than 3 per cent. without borrowing. It was proposed to establish a re serve capital which would provide for any future deficit in dividend, for the jetty, and for other purposes. One cause of the absorption of a ready cash was the debts in London and in Bahia, the principal one being that of Hr. John Watson, amounting to 3,500/. That sum was a good wet ; inasmuch as the company bad possession of a warehouse of Mr. Watson at Bahia, and that property formed, it was believed, a good security for the debt. In conclusion he congratulated the meeting on the comple tion of the repairs of the rojuca tunnel. A discussion ensued with regard to the relative position and claims of Mr. Watson and the company. The report was ultimately adopted, and a dividend of 3 per cent. for the half-year was declared. 611IPTI110 INTBLLIGINCIL-(TH18 DAT.) Looms, 04. at noon W.S.W., light broom, and ant. AAAAA Oct.

In the markets for public securities to-day there is • demand for railway stocks, which exhibit an upward tendency. Numerous pur chases have been made, owing to the increase in the traffics.

The inaugu ral address was delivered by Mr. Henry B. Brady, F.L.S., . THE COrNTEBB or DERWENTWATER.—The Lady Matilda Radcliffe, Countess of Derwentwater, still occu pies the unenviable position in which she was placed by the representatives of Mr. C. G. Grey, after her rough and forcible ejectment from Dilston Castle some four or live days ago, and her grievances and sufferings continue to from the principal topic) of conversation throughout the district. On all bands the greatest commiseration is expressed for her misfortunes, while many . of the most influential and aristocratic families in the neighbourhood have personally visited her little tent, in order to assure her of their sympathy in the prooeedingsabout to be commenced. Offers of food, of shelter, and of assistance have not been wanting ; but the whole of these kindness's, with the exception of some trifling _refreshments, have been courteously refused by her ladyship, on the ground that she is still a prisoner in the hands of the Admiralty, and cannot leave the spot until the dispute between their lordships and herself is brought to a settle ment. Her ladyship, whose health is visibly declining through the close confinement to which she is sub. jected, complains very bitterly . of what she represents as Mr. Cheri; want of humanity in allowing her to remain so long in such a position, as he could so easily remove her to London and settle the whole question ; but she strongly asserts, and seems fully determined to carry out the resolve, that she will die on the spot sooner than yield her just rijihts. That this is an extreme view of the case her ladyship readily admits, although she thinks its realisation would be a lasting disgrace on the free country in which we live. In nearly every court in Europe, she says, her title of Countess of IV'aldsteine.Waters has been honoured ; but in England, the home of her ancestors, she has had to be dra violently from the ruined halls of which she is the rightful heiress, and subjected to insult and degradation of the very lowest kind.—Nnecestis Chronicle.
