Ste,—ln the leading article of your paper of to aay, which contains a criticism upon " English History for Children, by the Rev. J. M. Neale, M.A., Warden of Rockville College, Eaat Grin stead," you conclude your observations by stating that " the Committee of Council are bound to terminate their long partnership in" Mr. Neale's work. The article appears to proceed upon some misap prehension of the part formerly, but now no longer, taken by the Committee of Council in helping the managers of schools to purchase books and maps. As part of the machinery for administering that t4icular form of aid, a list was compiled, and rot time to time revised, of works submitted by publishers and educational societies. An account of these grants, and the reasons for recommending their discontinuance, may be found by any one who takes a historical interest in the matter, at p. 348 of the Report of the Royal Commissioners ap pointed in 1858. The recommendation of the commissioners was acted upon in drawing up the Revised Code. Since July, 1881, no grants have been made in a form appropriated to the purchase of books and maps ; and, with the grants, the list, which was part of the machinery for dispensing them, was, as matter of course, withdrawn from The passage in the Report of the Royal Commis sioners, to which I have referred, sufficiently ex plains that the principles on which the list was compiled neither warranted the exclusion of Mr. Neale's book for the reasons which lead you to condemn it, nor made the Committee of Council responsible for the writer's opinions.—l am, &c., Nov. 12. R. R. W. LINGEN. DISTRESS AT THE EAST END. TO THZ EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Stn,—My attention having been called to the article in your paper of yesterday, respecting the increasing distress at the East-end, and the necessity of " forming a central relief committee, consisting of able and experienced men, possessing the confidence of the public, and whose exertions may be relied upon for carrying out an efficient, economical, and comprehensive system of relief, in con junction with and secondary to that adopted by the various parochial authorities," I beg to send you the en closed paper respecting the " East-end Emigration and Relief Fund." During the put summer the committee promoted emigration from the Poplar Union as a measure of relief. In addition to some few sent to South Australi►, upwards of 300 souls were through its instrumentality emigrated to Canada, and I am happy to say we have very satisfactory accounts respecting them ; the heads of fami lies have all been provided with employment, and they are all doing well. The committee also turned its attention to migration, and about 400 were assisted to go to other dis tricts in the kingdom where work was to be obtained. This emigration and relief has entirely exhausted the fund. The committee have, however, under earnest con sideration whether they can be of further use in alleviat ing the distress which threatens the east of London during the winter, and should the public entrust them with the necessary funds, I do not doubt that in co-operation with the Poor-law Board an efficient system of relief may be devised. I have only to add, that any ruhecriptions paid to oar trossurer, the Hon. A. Rionaird, M.P., tor the "East end Emigration and Relief Fund," at Mears. Ransom, Booverie, and Co.'s, 1, Pall-mall East, will be appropriated to the object.—l am, &a, HENRY KINGSCOTE. 96, Eaton-pkoe, &W., Nov. 12. Tim MULTI( or LONDON.--It appears from the return issued by• authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, November 9, 4,613 births and 2,706 deaths were registered in London and in twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 20 per 1,000 in London, 27 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dublin; 20 in Bristol, 23 in Birmingham, 26 in Liverpool, 26 in Man chester, 27 in Salford, 24 in Sheffield, 24 in Leeds, ffii in Hull, 29 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 27 in Glasgow. Int London the births of 1,187 hors and 1,063 girls, in all 2,270 children, were registered en the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,081. Ihe deaths registered in London during the week were ,195. It was the forty-fifth week of the year; and the average number of death s for that week is, with a correc tion for lucre use of population, 1,417. The deaths in the present return are less by 222 than the estimated number. The deaths from zymotio diseases were 254, the corrected average number being 347. The deaths from smallpox were 9, from scarlatina 39, from whooping cough 27, from typhus 42. from diarrhom 21, and from measles 37. Fifteen children died from measles in the north districts of the metropolis, 6 of Ouse cases occurred in the sub-diatrict of M St. John, aryleboae. The son of a painter, aged 2 years, died on Ist November at 4, Bri.lge-street, Hammersmith, of " cholera, 8 hours," and on 4th November, in the same family, a daughter, aged 5 years, died of "cholera, 24 hours." The son of a stonemason, aged 3 months, died on 3rd November at 14, Ashburnham-terrace, Chelsea, of " choleraic diarhcea." The son of a cooper, aged four years, died on the 28th October at 21, Washington-street, Mile end Old Town, of "convulsions from choleraic diarrhoea, accelerated by the smell from drains." Inquest: A labourer, aged 60 years. died on 3rd November, stl 6, Charlton-vale, Woolwich, of "acute rheuinatism eta days, choleraic diary lora, 18 hours." One hundred and forty-eight persons died last week from plithisis. 154 from bronchitis, 82 from pneumonia, and 51 from diseases of the heart. The deaths of three persons who were killed by horses or car riages in the streets were registered last week. One hun dred and forty.six deaths from injuries caused by horses or vehicles in the streets have been recorded during the pre sent year. The present system of registration has b.en in operation for 30 years • and a legal certificate of a birth. death, or marriage in England or Wales during that period may be obtained at the ral Register-office, Somerset House. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1867. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. The fall in Caledonian Railway stock yesterday was aggravated by news that the directors of this com pany have given notice of an intended application to parliament in the coming session for the under mentioned purposes, viz. :—To authorise the aban donment of four branch lines sanctioned in ISGS— the Banghohn junction, the Shielhill branch, the Crieff connecting junction, and the Barrhead and Paisley branch ; to extend the time for the ' compulsory purchase of lands and completion of works of the Belem° and the Muirkirk branches ; and to extend the time for the sale of surplus lands on the Scottish North-Eastern and other , lines ; also for power to purchase lands at various places on the company's lines, and to hold shares'in the Crieff and Methvin Junction Railway ; also power to raise additional capital by the issue of ordinary or preference shares for the completion of certain works ; and to provide more rolling stock, station, and other accommodation for the traffic. Apart from the distrust naturally excited by the vagueness of the statement here put forth with re gard to the amount and objects of the fresh capital now admitted to be required, it is felt that the adoption of this step at so critical a juncture of the company's affairs is open to severe animadversion, and is proportionately calculated alike to discou rage bone Jide holders, and to embolden operators I I for a fall. After the statements lately put forth on behalf of the board at the recent meeting and I . in other quarters, it is regarded as especially neces sary that an explanation should be given of the !announcement that more rolling stock is required. ' The notification, as it now stands, must strengthen ,the objections of those who maintain that ' in the important item of repairs and renewals this company has been guilty of signal shortcomings, , and that it has, in fact, systematically distributed as dividends a large sum of money which ought to Live been appropriated to repairing or absolutely replacing old plant. The intimation that the directors intend to " abandon " certain proposed works, and to " extend the time" for the prosecution ' of others, would have been received with more satin ' faction had it not been postponed till a time when the suggestion of a change of system becomes tantamount to a confession of pecuniary inability to persevere in the old course. But, after the , recent experience in the case of the Brighton Rail ' way Company, chief alarm was yesterday occasioned by the announcement that it is proposed to "raise additional capital by the issue of ordinary or pre- ference shares." Since 1839 the loans and prefer enco capital of the undertaking now styled the I Caledonian Railway have been increased from less than five-and-a-half millions to upwards of sixteen imillions, while the amount of tho ordinary capital is 4,734,0001. It is very questionable whether any further addition can justly be made, for the pur poses named, to the preference capital, seeing that any such increase must of course entail to a propor tionate extent a permanent over-riding of the I rights of the ordinary stockholders--always the worst used class of railway proprietors. Yet the 'situation of the company presents a choice of diffi culties, for, should it adopt the intrinsically sounder course taken by the Brighton Railway Company, l and raise the funds required by allotting amongst ithe existing proprietors a new issue of ordinary ' stock, the effect upon the price could hardly fail, temporarily at least, to be severe. The position of the Caledonian Company excites the more interest because in these times it exercises an influence upon the entire railway property of the kingdom. TEE ROYAL BANK, LIVERPOOL. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (Ratrnies TILIORANB.) NOTE OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT. FLORENCE, Nov. 12, Ev=rnic. General Menabrea has addressed a note to the Italian minister in Paris, dated the 7th instant, in I , which he points out that the condition of things now exists undor which the French government, by its circular of the 25th October last( solemnly undertook to consider its duty fulfilled, and withdraw from the Pontifical territory. General Menabrea says :—" Now, relying upon the word of France, we expect that the Imperial government in its turn will discontinue its inter vention, which we considered unnecessary, which 1 is for Italy a deplorable fact, and if prolonged would form an obstacle to stable arrangements. Past events lead everyone to the conclusion that the September convention wholly failed in its object. Nothing has hitherto availed to mitigate the hostile attitude of the Holy See towards the! Italian government. Yet a sincere agreement with Italy would remove all idea of peril for the Holy, See, would secure the peninsula against the renewal of deplorable bloodshed, and be a sure , pledge of peace equally necessary to the Pontiff and to Italy." In conclusion, General Menabrea says :—" The soil which holds the tomb of the Apostles, and is the depository of the traditions of the catholic faith, is the surest seat of the Ponti ficate. Italy will defend and surround it with all veneration and splendour, and make its liberty and independence respected. But for the attain ment of this object arrangements for harmonising the interests of the Holy See and Italy are indis pensable. If Italy is to be an element of order and progress, it is necessary that the cause which keeps her in a permanent state of agitation should be re moved. I trust that you will produce a convic tion that it is of the greatest urgency to settle the Roman question without delay." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 12. Lord Loftus, M. Benedetti, and the Count de Launay had interviews yesterday with Count von Bismarck, who afterwards loft for Letzlingen, to join the royal hunting party. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 12. It is stated that the formation of a responsible parliamentary ministry is near at hand. Prince Carlos Auersperg is expected to be President of the Council ; Baron Hastier, Minister of Public Instruction ; Dr. Berger, Minister of Justice ; and Herr Giskra, Minister of Commerce, while Baron Becke retains the portfolio of Finance for the cis- Leithan provinces. Baron Sennyey, the Hungarian Tavernikus, in spokenof as the Finance Minister of the Empire. The Prase and the Debate coincide in stating that Baron Prokeach, the Austrian Ambassador to the Porte, has not, as alleged by certain foreign journals, been instructed to present either a note or any other document upon the Cretan question, but merely to discuss the matter verbally with Fuad Pacha upon the basis of facts. The above named papers add that since the presentation of the• last Austrian note, the serious position of the Cretan question has remained unchanged. The Praise alleges that General Ignatieff, the Russian ambassador at Constantinople, has laid before the Divan a project for the reform of the Hatti-Humayoun of 1805.

CORR - ILL—A short time since an accident happened to Mr. Ooxwell, the aeronaut, in the immediate vicinity of his residence at Tottenham, which has produced an alarming illness, and at one time threatened to have • fatal termination. It appears that, in order to make a short cut, Mr. Coxwell had jumped over his garden wall, not for the first time, as he had done so previously with impunity. The result was, that owing to • recent rainfall, and the unevenness of a byequad, he sprained himself in the region of the left hip. This caused the formation of • critical shwas, and on the development and opening of this depended the life of the patient. Had it burst internally death must have ensued, but we are happy to say an external opening formed, and that Mr. Coxwell has pulled through • severe trial favourably, and I. now progressing towards recovery.

The main objection of the depositors wen to the long terms of 18 and 24 months proposed for the final instalments, and they suggested that I promissory notes, varying in term from three to twelve months with interest at the ordinary rate, should be sub stituted. The CI-immix/I said that the question with the depo sitors was not one of interest, but of obtaining the use of their money, and they found that they could not negotiate bills for 18 and 24 months. He moved, therefore, that the proposition made at the shareholders' meeting for pro missory notes extending over a period of two years be not aocepted. Mr. DEANE seconded the motion. The bank (he said) bad 50,000 ordinary shares of 201. each, and a call of 101. would at once realise 500,0001., and if the 1,500 preference shares were called upon, 15,000 1 . more could be obtained. They had good debts amounting to 560,0001.; dock bonds to the value of 77,000/. ; premises and land, 169,0001.; and cash in hand and good bills, 170,0001.—altogether, about 11,200,000/. If this were so, the shareholders ought to give them something in cash, and at any rate pay them off in twelve months. If necessary, a call of even 201. a share ought to be made rather than the depositors should suffer. In Barned's a 40/. call had been made. Mr. TYRIR thought that, though it was desirable to get their money in twelve months, if they could, any undue pressure on the bank could only result in great calsmity both to depositors and shareholders. His own experience was that a large call acted most injuriously. In the case of the Leeds and9larned's banks large numbers of share holders had been ruined, and the liquidators were obliged to compromise with them • whereas if they had called up a larger sum in small inst alments, these men would have been able to pay the whole sum. A all (as Mr. Deane hadsugifested) of 401., or even 20/., would result in aim , plete rum to many of the shareholders. Mr. Keva strongly held the same view. Mr. Deane had estimated the amount to be realised from the call at the utmost possible limit, whereas in very many cases the shareholders would be quite unable to meet their calls, at any rate at once. There was Obi lady who owned 9,000 shares ; she would be called upon now to pay 90,0001.; and if 51r Deane's suggestion of a 201. call were adopted, she would have to get 180,000/. Now they all know that in the first commercial houses it was next to impossible promptly to realise such a vast sum, and that where a person's property was real property it would take a still longer time. Mr. M'Quie, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Darsy, and others counselled moderation in dealing with the share holders, and ultimately an amendment by Mr. Daisy was adopted, postponing any.further action until the result of the.meeting of depositors and creditors, tai be held to-day, should have bean ascertained. INTERPRETER FOR THI ABYSSINIAN ICEYSDITION. —At the monthly meeting of the Church Missionary Society, theßev.PrebendaryVenn,B.D.,the hon. secretary, said that Sir Stafford Northoote having applied to the so ciety, through Captain Bostwick, for any information which could be furnished in respect of interpreters for the Abyssinian expedition, and for such information respect ing the country as the journals of missionaries might sup ply, he had in the interview with Captain Bostwick furnished to him such information as could be obtained from the records of the society's missionary work in Abyssinia; and that Sir Stafford Northcote had invited Dr. 1 liropt, formerly missionary in Abyssinia, to accompany the expedition as interpreter. Dr. Kropt, by letter, stated that be had accepted theofferof Sir Stafford Northo ote, and would join the expedition at Massovrah ; that for the last two years he had been engaged io Amharic studies, espt)- cially in editing for the British and Foreign Bible So ciety an Amharic New Testament, 10,000 copies, and va rious smaU treats in that language, as well as the four gospels in Teegre ; that be had stip ulated to have an assist ant, who would act as Bible oolporteur, and that be anticipated large oppo rt unities of spre ading Christian truth in connexion with the expedition. SUPPOSED DEATH FROM POISON.-011 Monday evening an inquest was held in Cnilingwood-street, Beth nal-green, on the bod; of Mrs. Sarah Pinoombe, aged 29 lyears. It was given in evidence that some oolocynth had been administered to her to cure a cold. She died in • short time with all the symptoms of poisoning. Mr. W. Godfrey, M.R.C.S., said that • great overdose of oolocynth had been administered. The coroner ordered a post mortem ezazanaion to beMade, and adjourned the inquest. [STAMPED, li.

OXFORD, TUESDAY, 8 P.M. The presence of the military in the town appears to have bad the necessary effect, and if we except the appearance in the streets of a few hundred persons distri buted in groups about Cartes, the High-street, Queen street, and Oorn.market-street, there is nothing to indi cate a further breach of the peace. The Guards are still located in the Corn Exchange, where they have remained from the time of their arrivaliere, having been strength- ened by the presence of Colonel Clive, Captain Brabazon, and Lieutenant the Hon. W. Needham, who came this morning. The large force of university and city special constables have resumed their duties this evening, and it is singular to note many of the gentlemen who took part in the gown and town tights a few days since.armed with the significant truncheon, and wearing a bit of white tape on the arm, now acting as preservers of the peace. The staff of the militia are also actively engaged in various parts of the city. With regard to the occurrences of last night, it appears the mob attacked the St. Clement's shop of Mr. Grubb, the baker and succeeded after breaking the win dows of the establishment in forcing an entranoe, but were compelled to beat a retreat. We next hear of them at Sumnier's•town, attacking the private residence of the above-named gentleman ,• and but for the precautions taken by Captain Owen, the chief of the county police, who had a lot of his men in ambush, there is little doubt serious consequences would have resulted. The county constabu lary made a vigorous onslaught on the mob, who on their hurried return to Oxford demolished all the lamps that came in their way. A large number of persons were cap tured, and many dealt with summarily by the magistrates, others being liberated on their own recognisances, and having to appear on Friday. Towards 12 o'clock the spe cial constabW paraded in large bodies,andforcibly cleared the streets. The mayor (Mr. J. It. Carr) felt compelled to read the Riot Act when the windows of the police sta tion were broken, and endeavoured by every peaceable means in his power to restore order. Mr. Charles Neste, the city member, also used his utmost endeavours to quell the disturb ance, and addressed the mob from the steps of the Clarendon Hotel, urging them not to give oc casion for the interfereuce of the military. His worship the mayor afterwards stated be had held a conference with the loading bakers, and that they bad agreed to lower the bread ld. on Wednesday, an announcemeut which was received with demonstrations of satisfaction. The chief grievance with the rioters appears to be that while col leges and other public establishments sic supplied with the beat 41b. loaf at 710. the public are compelled to pay 9d. We are happy to state that the workmen who struck at Ralliol and the bank resumed their occupation this morning. From inquiries we learn the Grenadier Guards are likely to remain some days longer in Oxford. Several in stances have come to our knowledge of injury sustained by special constables and . policemen at the hands of the mob, but nothing of a serious character has been reported. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the following was circulated throughout the city :—" City of Oxford.—Notice, that after one hour from the time proclamation has been made, under the Riot Act, all persons remaining or assembling in the streets are guilty of felony. And all householders are earnestly entreated to keep themselves and their families at home after dark, in order that the magistrates and police force may distinguish between orderly citizens and disorderly persons.—(Signed i JOHN RICHARD CARR, ns Mayor.—P.S. The special constab les are requested to be in attendance at the Town-hall at 6 o'clock punctually." MR. BERNAL OSBORNE, 33. P. 'AND HIM CONSTI TUENTB.-012 Monday evening ;Ir. Bernal Osborne addressed his constituents in the Exchange-hall, Not tingham, on the results of the past erasion. There was an immense attendance, the capacious building being crowded. The chair was occupied by Mr. T. Simpson. Mr. Osborne was received with enthusiastic cheering. He said he had heard a statement to the effect that the chairman did not vote for him at the last election. But, gentlemen, this is the age of conver sion. (Laughter and cheering.) He had been under going a course of education, and be was now glad that he had such a good reformer in the chair. (Applause.) If in his remarks he should be loquacious it was because he wished to have short accounts with his constituents ; if they were not satisfied with him he would go back from the town and never trouble them again. (Hear, hear.) The last session had been a very hard one, and it had killed off a great many members of tho House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) But the session had not been barren, and he doubted whether the ability of the states. men of the country had become in any degree less. (Cheers.) This was the age of miracles, and of course there had been many political converts. (Hear, hear.) They saw a party who had always been opposed to the lowering of the franchise in one night undergo a whole. some baptism in liberal doctrine. (Laughter.) How the obstinate obstructive* put in their claim to radical reforms he could not see. Whatever they might gain by their ter giversation he thought they lost in the character of the ' statesmen of their country. (Hear, hear.) He was salon- I jelled at the great interest which the tones seemed just now to take in what were called " Working Men's Asso ciations." He observed there had recently been a meeting of this kind at Coventry, but he did not believe that one man who spoke was a working man at all. (Laughter and cheers.) At SW meeting a gentleman made some remarks, who was called in the house " The Colonial Ninepin." (Laughter.) Ho was put up to speak when no one else ' would. (Laughter.) He fell at that meeting to abusing John Bright, whereas the tory bill of this session was filched from John Bright's bill of 1858. (Laughter and cheers.) The conservatives took Mr. Bright's bill and then fell to abusing him. He thought the time had ar rived when the principles of the conservative party were extinct. Those principles were neither founded in mason nor memory. (Cheers, and a voice. " How about your) ' Stop a his there, and I'll come to )you directly. (Loudlaugh. ter.) The changes one met in life were so rapid that it was hard to reconcile them. The man whowent on talking about himself was of little use. The transformations in political life presented all the phases of a pantomime. (Laughter.) Lord Derby had taken credit at Manchester for liaising the Reform Bill. He bail said that the liberal pasty had been long talking about it, but bad done nothing. Who boasted, however, that it was his mission " to stem the tide of democracy ?" and now, like • supple and reckless acrobat, he had taken summersaults in the dark. (Laughter and cheers.) Why was Mr. Gladstone's bill so violently opposed! Because it went too far, and would swamp the ' present constituencies. (Applause.) Mr. Osborne con tinued his remarks on reform, stating that the question is not yet settled. He next spoke on Fenianism, expressing his opinion that reform in Ireland would be sooner accom plished by sense and reason than by revolution. In con clusion, he referred to the Abyssinian question, saying he should require full explanation from the government before he voted one penny to the estimates. Mr. Roden moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Bunting seconded it, and it was carried unanimously. CrViOPENOE Sibiu an" Military. Yesterday morning a oompetitive examination commenced at the aloes of the Civil Service COMMiII. sippers, Great George-street, Westminster, for the vacant appointment of assistant muter shitght at one of the e royal dockyards. The candidates • Ile for the appoint ment were those who have served years am foremen of shipwrights. Yesterday morning Lieutenant A. R. Riney and a de tachm(nt of the 10th company of Royal Engineers left headquarters at Chatham for embarkation on board the ' mail steamer which conveys them to Messowah, for service with the Abyssinian expedition.

Yesterday being the morrow of St. Martin's-day, the annual ceremony of nominating the sheri ff s of the various counties in England and Wales was gone through in the Court of Exchequer before the Lord Chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the common law judges. Many gentlemen soughs to be exemed on various grounds, and a number of memorials, petitions, letters and medical certificates were handed in. For Norfolk, Sir Thomas Wm. Procter Beauchamp, Bart , stood first, and be would in all probability bo called upon to serve next year, but he asked not to be allowed to serve until WM ; Lord Ranelagh, who was 1400041 on the list, 'eked to be struck oft altogether, on the ground that he was an Irish peer. The lard Chan cellor said it was not the first time such a plea bad been raised, but it had never been successful. The court there fore ruled that Lord Ranelegh must serve, and not only so, but his name was placed first on the list, Sir T. W. P. Beauchamp being placed second. For Leicestershire there was some dislike to serve on the part of Mr. Thomas Tertius Paget, of liumberstooe, the real ground being that he is a candidate for the representation of South Lin colnshire. It was directed that his name should be put third on the list, so that he is tolerably safe for a couple of years. In connection with the county of York, Mr. Thomas Richard Plumbs Tempest, of Tong-hall, pleaded that he had been for 23 years is active military service for his country, that he was now 74 years of age, that he had 2,0001. a year, and that the year of shrievalty would con Lim 1,5001. The Lord Chancellor said it was not urged. by Mr. Tempest that his health was bad, or that he was unable to serve, and the court ruled that his name must stand. Mr. Henry James Bath, of Alltyfeitin, Carmarthen shire, said he had not long COMO into his property, and that be -vas at present building a suitable house. The Lord Chancellor said he supposed Mr. Bath did not superintend the works personally ; at all events he might employ a clerk of the works during the year of his ahrievalty. The court ruled that Mr. Bath could not be excused. In Oxfordshire, Mr. Weyland, of Woodeaton, asked to be excused from serving on the ground that his health was uncertain. The Lord Chancellor said that was the position of most men, bat as Mr. Wayland's name stood first on the list, it might perhaps be a relief to him if it were put second. The court made an order accordingly. One gentleman represented that he hail been obliged to bortow money to pay off mortgages on his estates ; • ' second, that he had • large family, and had no available resources to keep up the dignity of the office ; a third, that he was obliged to live abroad in consequence of the ill health of his family ; • fourth, that he had recently retired from active service, and required rest ; a fifth, that he had not sufficient property in the county with which his name was connected ; a sixth, that he was • barrister, although not in actual practice ; indeed all sorta of repre sentations were made for the purpose of escaping from the duty. No excuses, however, were allowed except when the petitioners made out a very strong case. It appears that during the circuit the sheriff of the county hands to the judge the names of certain gentlemen whom he am fasten qualified to fill the office hereafter, and it is in this way that the judges make out the lists which they hand in to the court on the morrow of St. Martin. If care were taken by the sheriff of each county, who provides the judge with the list, so many encases probably would not be necessary. THE HURRICANE IN THE WEST INi:flu—Yes terday intelligence reached Liverpool, by way of Havana and New York, of further disasters to shipping at St. Thomas during the late hurricane. For the lass few days much anxiety had been felt for the safety of the splendid screw steamer Colombian, Captain Peters, which left Liverpool for St. Thomas and Colon on the 12th ult., with a very valuable cargo, as it was known that she would be at or near St. Thomas when the storm burst over that island and its neighbourhood. Yesterday all doubts were set aside as to the fate of the vessel by the annexed enclo sure, which was forwarded to us by Mr. Arthur B. For wood, of the West India and Pacific Steam Ship Company, to which the Colombian belonged:—" Liverpool, Nov. 12, 1867.—The following telegram has just been received in reply to a message sent on the 7th to Havana, in quiring about the Colombian and the company's wharf at St. Thomas :—' Havana, Bth Nov. Telegram advice. Loss of Colombian. Property of British and French com panies destroyed. No mention of yours."' The Colom bian was anew steamer of 2,000 tons gross register, and bad on board a full cargo for the West Indies and Colon. The ship was very largely insured by the company in Liverpool, London, Glasgow, and the continent. Her commander was well known to be a seaman of great ex perience, and had under his charge a complement of about &Omen. As nothing is said about the passengers and crew, it is to be hoped that no loss of life has taken plow: The wreck of this steamer will cause no interruption in the company's service. In connection with the wreck of the Colombian there was some anxiety felt in Liverpool yesterday about another steamer, which left the Haney three days after the Colombian, for the West Indies. The Australian is a new ship, on bee first trip, and the crack vessel of the company's Beet, but as she was not bound for St. Thomas—in fact she would be compelled to give the island a wide berth—all fears at present entertained as to her safety are premature. No doubt the Arm tican mail steamer due at Liverpool on Saturday will hi lag further and more accurate details of the disaster, as there is both steam and telegraphic com munication between New York and Savannah, and judging from the rapid transmission of messages to Havannah from New York, and vice versed, the news will be as correct as possible up to the departure of the steamer. The West India mail due at Souttiempton, unless detained at some of the ports, ought to arrive either on Friday or Saturday with full details of the catastrophe. THE CORYORATION Or DUBLIN •NI. THE STATE Cuuucu QCL.TIoN.—A special meeting of the council of the corporation of Dublin was held on Monday, " to de termine what measures ongbt to be adopted. having regard to the agitation with which the public tranquillity is threatened by the meeting recently held at Hillsborough for the purpose of perpetuating an odious ascendancy end other cognate abuses, and of preventing remedial legisla tion for Ireland by overawing the parliament of the emOre." The chair was taken by the Lord Mavor. Mr. Sullivan said the meeting would not have been convened were it not that a Dublin newspaper, apropos of a meeting held in the icountry to wave anew the banner of bigotry, said " the corporation in times gone by I supported the church establishment." He blushed to own that the minute books of the old corporation con tained the record of proceedings justifying the news paper in its statement. On the 11th September, 1792, he found the predecessors of the present municipal body up holding and promoting intolerance. It was the duty of the corporation now to shout " Equality ! " and wipe out the stain. The corporation, though they could not tear the page on which that was recorded from their book, could do what was better—repair the wrongs wh lob their predecessors indicted. The council did not now appeal to one section of their fellow-countrymen, but to the whole of them, that freedom and equality might prevail. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That it is absolutely essential to the peace, harmony, contentment, and pro sperity of this country that every vestige of class and creed ascendancy should be abolished, and that all parties should be placed on a basis of perfect equality of civil and reli gious rights within the constitution." Mr. Butler seconded the resolution, which was put and declared to be unani mously carried. Alderman tristll (Lord Mayoratlect) moved a resolution calling on the corporations thimigh out Ireland to co-operate in the movement. He refined to some statistics, and said that the number of protes tants in some dioceses was a very small proportion. He asked the members of the house, the catholic. of the city and of all Ireland, was that to continue ? and be paid that what they wanted was not ascendancy, but equality. Mr. Meagher seconded the resolution, and observed that in the diocese of Denary there were only four and a half ',rotes. tents to each parish. lie hoped that this fact would show the necessity of having religious equality and a clear platform for all Irishmen. The resolution was pawed. Sir John Gray proposed that it be referred to a committee of the whole house to prepare an address to the Queen and petitions to parliament, embodying the objects stated in the resolutions adopted. Aldermen Plunkett, in second ing the resolution, said he would only make one remark, which was that he hoped when Mr. Sullivan went into parliament it would be into College-green.
