" ARTEMUS WARD" AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL. The American humourist who writes under the name of " Aitemus Ward," and whose amusing little book■ are now as well known in this country as the ltiglow Papers," or the works of "`Sam Slick, the Clock maker," made his first appearance last night as a " show man" at the Egyptian Hall with an illustrated entertain ment, called "Artemus Ward among the Mormons." Mr. Artemus Ward, like his predecessors.in the same hall, delivers his description of his travels in front of a series of moving pictures, that give a rough, but no doubt a tolerably faithful, idea of the places and persons visited. This panorama, Mr. Ward says, in a very funny programme, " is rather worse than panoramas usually are," but the badness of the painting only provides Mr. Ward with more material on which to exercise his wit. If this wit is not readily appre ciated, Mr. Ward kindly offers to call upon the citizens of London and explain any jokes in bis narrative which they may not understand. To anybody seeking for real amuse ment, or anxious to hear something that differs both in matter and manner of delivery from existing entertain ments, Mr. Ward's lecture-room ought to prove a favourite resort. He proposes to appear every night, except Satur day, at 8, and on Saturday mornings at 3, if his health, which is rather delicate, will permit him. CLUB FOR YOUNG MEN. Last night a well attended public meeting, prin cipally composed of young men employed in the City, and convened by the supporters of the temperance movement, was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of considering a proposal for establishing a club on a large scale for young men, to combine the comforts of home with facilities for intellectual improvement, pity- Nicol and mental exercise, and amusement. The Rev. John Rogers, M.A., incumbent of the Charterhouse, filled the chair. Mr. Trengrouse, secretary of the London Young Men's Temperance Association, read the prospectus of the proposed club, the capital of which is fixed at 100,0001. in 20,000 shares of 5/. each, 3/. per share to be paid up, If. on application and 2/. on allotment, it being expected that no further call would be required. It is proposed to secure suitable premises to contain lecture-hall, reading, class, dining, and billiard-rooms, together with apartments for about 500 residential members, as also a gymnasium, bath rooms (including a swimming bath if possible), with every other accommodation which may be thought expe dient, all the advantages of the clubto be extended to non resident members at a moderate subscription. The pro moters, in addition to other advantages, have every con fiders in theundeitaking proving successful in a commer cial point of view,and from having gone fully and carefully into details of estimated receipts and expenditure have every reason to believe that the profits will realise from sto 10 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital. The chairman stated that the Colosseum. near Rent's-park, which is announced for Bale, had been select as the site for the proposed club. After careful computation it had been found that 50,0001. would be sufficient capit +1 to pur chase the site and furnish the club. The weekly sum to be paid by the resident members of the club is fixed at 65., and the payment of this sum by 500 young men would produce an annual income of 7,f00/. A young man pre sent suggested that the site of the club should, if possible, be in the City. The Chairman said the fabulous price charged for land in the City rendered it impossible for the promoters to entertain any such idea, and besides he thought the young men engaged in the City would prefer a beauti ful suburban district easily accessible by rail. Al though alcoholic drinks would be prohibited in the club, he wished it to be distinctly understood that the place would not be used for temperance meetings, or for the promotion of the temperance cause. A resolution in favour of the establishment of the club, and of the site proposed, was carried by an overwhelming majority. The chairman said the shares would be offered to the public. anti the manner in which they were taken up would guide the committee in their future action. Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. Charles Leaf, and other prominent men, were in favour of the scheme. A vote of thanks to the chair man and provisional committee terminated the proceedings. SCHOOL FOR THE INDIGENT BLIND.—A special general court of the subscribers to this charity WAS held yesterday at the London Tavern for the purpose of electing seven male and live female inmates. There are at present nearly 200 inmates in the institution, the majority of whom are trained to industrial work,including the manu facture of doormats of all kinds, plain and fancy worsted rugs, rope and cocoanut fibre matting, basket work of all descriptions, patent sash and clothes lines , knitting , nett ing, fancy blurwork, &c. A workshop for the manufac ture of brushes has been recently opened in connection with the institution. A large number of the pupils are receiving musical instruction and it is stated that many of them are competent to Undertake the duties of paro chial organists. ROYAL INFIRMARY, CITY-ROAD.—Since the foun dation of this hospital for all cheat diseases, 69,431 cases have been admitted. The number under treatment last week was 486. Acute cases are received for indoor treat ment without any lettes of admission. The coming winter is already being felt, and public benevolence alone can help the hospital to keep pace with the claims on its re sources.

(azinica's OPENING OF THE BELGIAN CHAMBERS• BRUSSELS,' Nov. 13: The Belgian Chambers were opened to-day by the King in person, who read the speech from the throne. His Majesty announced that Belgium's relation' with foreign powers were of a most friendly charac ter, and said : " In the midst of the great events which have disturbed a great part of &trope, Belgium has remained calm and confident, deeply impressed with the rights and duties of neutrality. This nen_ trality she will continue to preserve in the future, 1 as she has done in the past, with sincerity, loyalty, and strength." (Loud cheers.) The King then announced several bills which will be laid before the Chambers in reference to the abolition of imprisonment for debt, the amendment of the laws on the detention of prisoners while under accusation, the extradition laws, and the removal of the restrictions on the manufacture of articles of gold and silver. Hia Majesty also announced the conclusion of a treaty of amity with Japan. In reference to the recent rifle meeting at Brussels he said :—"The Tir National has furnished the Belgian militia with an opportunity of frater nising with the militia of neighbouring countries. Belgium will be happy to see renewed on her soil those peaceful contests, in which are engendered re lations of mutual friendship and esteem, which the future can but extend and fortify." Hie Majesty concluded his speech as follows : "To accomplish the tasks of government I need the loyal concurrence of the Chamber. May all hearts, at the commencement of this new reign, remain united in the love of our country and its institutions." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 13. The semi-official North German Gazette of to-day declares in the most positive manner that the journey of the Crown Prince of Prussia to St. Petersburg has no political object.

THE WRECK OP TBB CERES. THE ALBERT ORPHAN ASYLUM. Yesterday our ancient Guildhall, still magnifi-. 1 sent in all the deoerstions et the :event attic beitqhet, A correspondent of Saunders' Hewe, writing from Wexford on Sunday evening, gives the following details of this melancholy occurrence ; " A deplorable shipping casualty, involving the loss of a fine vessel and cargo and some thirty lives, occurred on this coast last night; but up to the present the full particulars regarding the number of lives lost and names of the sufferers have not reached Wexford, the scene of the catastrophe being eleven miles distant. The following account, however, obtained from one of the survivors, gives the leading features of this awful calamity : ' The steamship Ceres, Captain Pascoe, plying between London and Dublin, and calling at Ports mouth, Southampton, Plymouth, and Falmouth, called at the last-named port at eleven o'clock on Friday night, on her passage from London, and, having cleared out, passed the Lizard Lights, all well. She had on board a general cargo, and about thirty passengers. At about 12 o'clock on Saturday, a strong gale commenced to blow from the south-west, which continued during the day, accompanied as night closed with heavy rain. The vessel was steering a high course eastward, to sight the Tuscar Light, but having missed this light she ran, at ou tabt 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, upon what is known as h Lane of Stones,' at Carnsore, on the south-eastern coast of this county. A few minutes after striking her boiler burst, scalding the chief engineer and two seekers. Her stern then gave way from the engine-room, allowing the sea to rush into her every compartment unopposed, and bringing instant death to all below. An effort was then made to launch the boat, but the ship's lifeboat was stave in before she had well touched the water, and the other boats were smashed on the vessel's deck. 'Slue lights were then burned, in the hope of attracting the at tention of the peasantry, but without success, and so the unhappy people heel to cling to the ship's gear on the fore part until the fide receded, when another and happily a en .-widul effort was made to save the lives of those who remained. The captain knew not whether the vessel bad struck on the mainland or merely en a shoal, and in order to ascertain the nature of his position a sailor was lowered down the vessel's side by means of a rope, and he fortunately succeeded in reaching the beach. The others on board were then lowered down in a similar manner, and conveyed safely to shore. The captain, his wife, and child, the chief officer, second officer, boatswain, and all hands attached to the steamer have been saved, including the ship's steward and cabin boy, numbering in all about fifteen. A doctor , his wife and child, and three soldiers were also saved, the doctor's wife being the only woman on board who escaped. The persons drowned are four women and three children, who were in the after saloon, the captain and two seamen of the screw steam yacht Louisa, who were returning to Greenwich, by Dublin, from Portsmouth, where their yacht was laid up ; the two female stewards and cook, chief engineer, and two stokers, Rev. Dr. Hearn, and a gentleman named Michael Campbell, one or two soldiers, and two or three young ladies, who were in the first class cabin. The bodies of fifteen of the unhappy victims coated ashore to-day. The coroner will bold an inquest on them to-morrow. The people of the locality rendered every assistance when they became informed of the circumstance. The coastguards from the nearest station reached the scene of the wreck at ten o'clock last night, but found it unnecessary to use the rocket apparatus, as part of the vessel was at that time on neatly dry land. The vessel is broken into three parts, and most of the cargo is strewn on the beach. The sur vivors have been attended to by Mr. Jasper Walsh, agent for Lloyd's, and Mr. William Coghlan, collector of cue. toms, who have been at the scene of the unhappy occur rence since an early hour this morning.' We are happy to be able to state that Dr. Heard and his wife, daughter of the respected chairman of the Great Southern and Western Railway, are amongst those who were saved, and yesterday reached Enuiscorthy, en route for Dublin." EQUALISATION OF POOR RATES IN THE METROPOLIS. LETT) Yesterday a conference of gentlemen interested in this subject was held at Christchurch = e we, Watneyatzeet, Commercial-road. The Rev. lit'Glaa, the rector of St. George's-in-the-East, presided ; and amongst the gentlemen present were—Rev. S. Han sard, rector of Bethnal-green ; Rev. R. 1L Jones, rector of Limehouse ; Rev. G. T. Driffield, rector of Bow ; Rev. W. Denton, incumbent of St. Bartholomew, City ; Rev. C. H. Cave, incumbent of St. John's, Limehouse ; John Holines, Kensington ; Dr. Corner, medical o ffi cer, Mile-end Old Town ; Messrs. Green, Blackwell ; Dr. Burgess, Messrs. Halite and Goodwin, Bethnal-green ; Mr. Spence, Lime house; Mr. Gilbert, Bayswater; and Mr. I). Munro, chair man of guardians, Mile-end. The Rev. S. HANsAsii, rector of Bethnal-green, moved : " That an association be formed for the purpose of agi tating the question of the equalisation of the poor rates throughout the metropolis, with a view to relieve the poorer 'adobes." Mr. ERNEST HART addressed the meeting in support of the motion. A discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Gianeter pointed out that there was already an association in exis tence in the metropolis with this object, though it was now in abeyance. Mr. Gamiiiiiim insisted on the necessity of main taining local government, and deprecated centralisation ; and while supporting the motion, suggested that if the charges for the aged, the lunatic and idiotic, the sick, and the permanently disabled, were thrown on a general fund, much would be done to equalise the burden. Mr. HART stated that the charge for the sick poor out of the house was about 400,0001., which would be covered by a rate of 6fil. in the pound. Ultimately the resolution was passed in the following form :—"That an association be formed at the east end of London for the promotion of the equalisation of poor rates in the metropolis, and to co operate with the Metropolitan Association an that object, with a view to the relief of the excessive burdens on the poorer perishes." A resolution was also agreed to, constituting the gentle men present a committee to carry out the first resolu tion, Mr. Donovan being reserved as the secretary, and it WWI stated that steps would be taken to hold meetings in various parts of the metropolis. The meeting then separated.

They have been made better members of society through it. On the other points, however widely I differ from you, I fear, in belief, not I only, but I should think all the more thoughtful high church clergy, would agree with you that in our common public devotions no changes should be made without the goodwill of the congregations. Of course, mistakes have been made flout time to time, for we are all fallible men together. Hut we are, of course, as men too, deeply interested in those whom (bad has, we believe, committed to our charge. It is a special interest to ns not to alienate them, and if some of us have been unwise, you will, 1 think, bear witness that these have been the exceptions. Yuu yourself advert to the fact that the ritualistic churches are chiefly churches in great towns, built by individual benesolence and filled by sympathetic congregations. Moreover, I trust that the experience which time brings and the very discussion of the subject will make our clergy wore alive to the evil of alienating any portion of our congregations. Then, too, we are warned at our ordination that we have a special account to give at the judgment seat of Christ fur any evil which may befall them through any fault of ours. Being, moreover, bound to the use of a haed liturgy, we are, in one essential respect, less free to introduce any thing of our own than ministers of the kirk of Scotland or of the different dissenting congregations around us, where exteuipore prayer forms the chief part of the devotions. However, we cannot be called too often, in any way what ever, to a acme of our responsibilities, and (without hav ing any dread myself that the church would be weakened by being disestablished) I trust that we shall be even more careful than heretofore to win our prople, for the sake of the love with which our Master loves them.—Your obe dient servant, " E. 11. 1 erste."

THZ EARL OF DERBY AND THE CONSCIENCE CLAUSR.—Yesterday afternoon the Earl of Derby received a deputation appointedat • meeting held on the day fol lowing the conclusion of the York Congress, on the subject of the serious injury to popular education which has re sulted from the practice of the Educational Department of the Privy Council in making the Conscience Clause • condition of building grants. The deputation originally appointed consisted of the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of York, Archdeacons Denison and Churton, CanouTrevor, Mr. J. G. Hubbard, M.P., Mr. Bereeford Hope, H.P. Mr. Lowther, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.l'., and Colonel Akroyd, M.P., with power to add to their number. Of these several were unable to be present. Mr. Hubbard, M.P., who introduced the deputation, read letters of apologia/ from the Dean of York and others, and stated that the Archbishop of Canterbury, tho Duke of Marlborough, Earl Ream:hemp, and otiurs were prevented attending. Mr. Hubbard then read what Lord called an abstract of his speech at York ; and Ur- Beresford Hope followed, urging the importance, if pos sible, of some friendly arrangement being arrived at be tween the church and the government. The Archdeacon of Taunton insisted on two points—first, that the con science clause was the first religious dittieulty that had arisen between the Privy Council and the church ; and, secondly, that parliament had never sanctioned the ob noxious clause. The Revs. A. Wilson (secretary of the National Society), Dr. Irons, Gregory, Mr. W. Mayow, Dr. Iliber, and others, having spoken, Lord Derby said he had listened with great attention to the statements made on this most important and diffi cult subject. He feared the discussion hiul rather shown the extent of the difficulty than the means of meeting it. Having observed on the two classes of ob jectors to the clause—those who conteuiled that every doctrine of the church should be tanght to all the children, and those who would without compulsion admit dis senters—his lordship guarded against the extent or opera tion of the clause being exaggerated, and asked how the question of the minority of dissenters was to be met in parliament. He should like to know any plan by which, as Mr. Hope suggested, the views of the church and the Privy Council could be brought into fuller accord. A long conversation ensued between hie lordship and various members, in the course of which it having been clearly shown that the principle of the conscience clause would admit of secular education, his lordship emphatically oon , demned any education without religion, which he said was not sanctioned by parliament. The deputation thanked his lordship for the kind manner in which be bad listened to them. CATTLE EXHIBITIONS. —A supplement to last night's Gmetie contains an Order in (,'utensil to the effect that, from and after the 18th inst., exhibitions of fat stock intended for slaughter immediately after such exhibition may be held in any county in England and Wales, with the licence of the lords of the council, should they be satis fied that no case of cattle plague has occurred within ten tulles of the town or place at which such exhibition is to be held within a month prior to the date of such licence, and the exhibition is to be held et a distance exceed ing ten mike from any place declared to be infected sword- Mg to the provisions of the said order of the 24th day of March last, and that such licence shall he mill and void if at any time, exceeding forty-eight hours, previous to the holding of the said exhibition cattle plague shall break out within ten miles of the place where such exhibition is to be held. Any cattle so exhibited must be slaughtered within the town or place wherein such exhibition is held within four days after the close of do exhibition ; and if any case of cattle plague shall occur within such exhibition, all the animals shall be immediately slaughtered, but there shall be no claim for any compensation either on the local authority or the government. THE CarrtE PL.tous..—At the Court at Wind sor, the 10th day of November, Vaal. Present: The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. It is this day ordered by her Majesty in Council, that Lis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury do prepare a form of prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God for relief from the plague amongst cattle, and for protection against the cholera; and that such form of prayer and thanksgiving be used in all churches and chapels in England and Wales, and in the town of Herwick-apou•Tweed, on Sunday, the eighteenth day of November instant, instead of the prayers now used for relief from the cattle plague, and for pro tection against the cholera, which are hereby ordered to be discontinued. And it is hereby further ordered, that her Majesty's printer do forthwith print a competent num ber of copies of the said form of prayer and thanksgiving in order that the same may be forthwith sent round and used in the several churches and chapels in England and Wales, and in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.

A large number of the deaths from cholera have latterly occurred in Woolwich, and the outbreak is described in the appendix. In refe rence to the statement that cases of cholera had occurred in Charlton without any premonitory diarrhea, Dr. Mac- Loughlin has addressed a letter to the liegietrar-General upholding the doctrine which be advocated so forcibly in 1854, to the effect that cholera is invariably preceded by premonitory diarrines. Great credit is due to him for the labour which he bestowed in inquiring into the cases of 1535, and contributing to establish the doctrine now pre valent.

THOMAS BINNET ON THE RITUALISTIC MovEmEirx.—On Sunday morning a sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas Binney, at the Fish-street-hill Chapel, on the ritualistic inoveineut, which the preacher charm terised as the great religious question of the day. Mr. Kinney selected for bis text the 13th verse of the 17th chapter of Judges : "Now know I that the Lord In will the do me good, seeing that I have a Levite t o my priest." course of an amdysia of the subject he drew the inference that ritualistic practices were not sanctioned by direct Scriptural authority, nor yet by analogy. Not only the teach ing of Christ, but the example and writings of his apostles, were all against the use of ceremonies and ordinances, and it was a marked characteristic of Christ's ministry that lie systematically opposed devotion to ceremonial, and dwelt always on th e su p remac y of the spiritual and moral, and that he said things again and again which were calculated to shock, and did shock, the observers of ritualistic forms. Still be admitted that ritualism was not without its brighter points, and it had awakened a spirit of improvement in the construction of religious edifices which had been followed in other communities. After passing a high eulogium on the earnestness, benevolence, and devotion of the ritualists, as a body, Mr. Binney con cluded with these emphatic words:—" Nothing can recon cile the food sense of the religious people of this country to the ministrations of those who, on the one hand, turn God's worship into a show of dresses, sowers, banner., and gaudy trumpery ; and on the other make such irre verent and impious claims as, if generally admitted, would bring back the worst days of papal supremacy, and lay the whole world prostrate under the heels of the prisak" 40,659 11,957 107,581 280,186
