TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. EXPRESS FROM THE PROPOSED COUNTY RATE IN THE CITY. A special meeting of the Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Local Government and Taxation Committee of the Corporation in reference to the proposed making of a county rate by the City jus tices, to be levied upon the citizens of London. The LORD blAvos presided. The proceedings appeared to create • great deal of inte rest, the question as to making a county rate having caused the greatest excitement throughout the whole of the City. The report of the committee was to the effect that, having fully considered the matter, they were of opinion that the justices ought not to levy a county rate in the City of London, but that the funds that were re quired should be provided, as heretofore, from the City's cash, and they also recommended that a communication should be made to the City justices by the town clerk, requesting them not to proceed any further in the matter of the county rate, and that a copy of the resolution of this court should be forwarded to the City justices. Mr. LAWLEY, in moving that the report be agreed to, said that the subject had attracted a vast amount of atten tion in the City, and bad caused a great deal of agita tion, which was swelling daily, and • stato of feeling was created which was anything but satisfactory. (Rear, hear.) The corporation of London could not at the present time afford to have discord in the camp ; they had enemies enough on all sides of them, and before the aldermen of the City of London came to • resolution to enforce such an obnoxious impost it behoved them to look a little a-head, and ewe what were the consequences that weree likely to follow. CLARET, BURGUNDY. HUNGARIAN, AND GREEK WINES. The Lancet has just completed a short series of reports upon the red wines of France, the clarets and the Burgundies, and the red wines of Hungary and Greece. The reports contain many facts of interest in relation to these wines. Hitherto it has been the fashion to abuse the fine wines of Spain and Portugal in no measured terms, as adulterated, and to praise the light wines of France and other countries as models of purity and excellence ; the fact however really is, that the wines from all these countries are liable to adulteration—that is to say, to be fortified with spirit, to be sweetened with sugar, and to he artifically coloured with, not unfrequently, the colour ing matter of dried elderberries. In each case the adul terations practised are of the anse kind, although pos sibly they may vary in extent. There are wines yet to be obtained, although fortified, from Spain and Portugal, which are not to be equalled for delicacy and richness of I flavour. There are, on the other hand, wines imported into this country from France, although many of them are also fortified in a lees degree, of undoubted wholesomeness and excellenee. It appears from the Lasted analyses that the mean strength in alcohol of all the clarets examined was 90 grains per cent. ; of the Burgundies, 9'30 grains per cent.—that is, the latter were but very little stronger than the former, much lees so than might have been ex pected from the opinion generally entertained. The mean alcoholic strength of the Hungarian wines wu just 100 grains per cent.—that is to say, they were stronger than either the clarets or Burgundies ; while the mesa strength of the two Greek wines was 110 grains per cent., proving their greater potency. Although there can be little question but that some of the clarets and Burgundies analysed contained added spirit and sugar, yet the whole of the samples, though none of the wines were of high price, were sound, wholesome, and in many oases of superior and delicate bouquet and flavour. It was observed that there was no relation between the quantities of spirit contained in the several wines and the price, some of the cheaper containing more spirit than the dearer; neither was there any strict relation between quality and price, although on the whole the quality did improve with the cost. The question has beer. lately discussed as to whether the Bur gundies are equal in wholesomeness to the clarets, some asserting that the former are even positively unwhole some. The difference in the quantities of alcohol and extractive matters in the two varieties of wine is so trifling that the analyses do not furnish the smallest rea son for concluding that the Burgundies are lees wholesome and more likely to chums with the stomachs than the clarets. We believe that as a rule, they are fully equal to the clarets in their whole some and beneficial qualities. The Hungarian red wines were somewhat stronger than both the clarets and the Burgandies, but they contained decidedly less extractive matter, and in some cases they were possessed of a very dalleaM lbsveur and bounuet. The Greek red wines exa mined assimilated in lair ANNA ind tamai tharnttern somewhat to port wine, although the percents : : 0l Al cohol was very considerably less. They may be said to occupy a middle place between clarets and ports, and hence they supply a real want. The prevalent notion that acidity in all wine is injurious is combated by the Lancet. The acetic and tartaric acids, to which it is due , are both wholesome acids, being largely consumed in Ala& and fruit, and with good effect ; and the opinion is expressed that the presence of these free acids, in moderate pro portions m sound wines, is benefieial rather than prejudicial—in the case of health persons , and those whose digestive organs are not impaired. For the gouty, and those labouring under certain forms of dyspepsia, in which acid, are liable to be generated in the stomach, the use of acid wines is not in general to be recommended. The notion that sugar in wine is injurious is also com monly entertained ; but the correctness of this, likewise, is questioned by the Lanai. Where the digestive perform their functions properly no ill result follows from the use of wine containing a moderate quantity of sugar ; but its presence is objectionable in the same cases as those in which acids are found to disagree. It may be frequently observed that the people who object most to the smallest amount of sugar in wine do not scruple to use it most freely, and in quantities far above that met with in wine, in the tea, coffee, and fruits they consume. Some time since Baron Liebig promulgated the statement that Hungarian wines contained a larger amount of phos phoric acid than nice' other wines ; and to this circum stance a superiority wu attributed to those wines. The ' analyses now published afford no support to that assertion, as the mean amount was found to be about the same as in ' the clarets, but less than in the Burgundies. It is a ' common belief, on the part of the public, that wine pos ' seises highly nourishing properties. In order to form an exact opinion upon this point, the nitrogen present in etch ' of the wineslmited was determined, and the mean amount of albuminous matter in 1,000 grain measures of the wines was found to be only 1.334 grain ; while in 1,000 grains' ' weight of lean beef it was 207.6 grains—that is to say, the raw flesh of beef contains 156 times more nourishment than wine. Consequently the amount of nutriment con tained in wine, as contrasted with meat and most articles ' of diet, ia insignificant. THE ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH• EASTERN RAILWAY. (SELITEN TILZORMIS.) ITALY. FLORENCE, Ocr. 24. (fox ova OWN comussromperr.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Roman question is far indeed from being settled by the French ultimatum, Rattarri's resig nation, and Victor Emmanuel's appeal to General Cialdini. Thin morning, before the review, a ministerial council was held at St. Cloud to debate upon " very serious despatches " received from Florence and Rome. The news, ambiguously worded on purpose in the Haves despatches, that when Gar ibaldi, after leaving Florence, had got as far aeFoligno he was " stopped" led to the false interpretation that he had been once more "arrested." The Patrie this evening admits that he went from Foligno to Terni, thence to Marni, and that he was, acoord , ing to the lad accounts, on the point of invading the pontifical territory. The France heats that at Terni he was at the head of as many as 3,000 men. The same Bonapartist catholic organ states ' that the Garibaldian bands, which were thought to have been dispersed, are augmenting hourly, and that their numbers are swollen by " large desertions " from the regular army. On this subject a line in the Patrie, which never before hinted that Victor Emmanuel's army was otherwise than staunch to the convention l of Sept. 16, speaks volumes. The spirit of the Italian troops, it now says, is " a little better," thanks to the personal popularity of Cialdini, " but the news of grave events on Roman soil may yet produce a certain agitation in the army." No wonder, under these circumstances, that the tele graph still fails to inform us that Cialdini has I succeeded in forming • ministry. In this now crisis it were of vital importance to know the truth of the news given by the Rifurma, namely, that Prussia, while declining to sanction an Italian invasion of Rome, has intimated to France that it ' would regard as a calms bah the presence of a French army in Italy for any other purpose than that of restoring order in Rome. Such a de ' claration would be a very aeons check to the design vaunted by the Paris government preaa a day or two ago of sending an army across the Alps to dictate terms of submission to Italy in Turin or Florence. Gari baldi's new move, weak as he is materially, may ' yet very likely force the parties to the game of brag to let the world see which is the best player. It is important to observe that a semi-official organ of Berlin gives a positive contradiction to the state ' meat that Italy had asked Prussia for assistance, and had been refused. On Thursday night great excitement was caused in South shields by tne news that • serious accident hal occurred on the South Shields branch of the North Eastern Railway at Tyne Dock. A little above the station et that place are a number of coal lines running from the main line to the drops in the Tyne Dock, and it appears as the 6.10 p.m. passenger train from Newcastle wax passing the branches to the docks a coal train was seen approaching towards the the main line, and before the passenger could be stopped the two engines came in violentoolliaion,anda scene cd indescri bable confusion ensued. Both engines were thrown off the rails, and were considerably damaged. The passengers who bad been teased about the carriages in all directions by the terrific shock, clambered out of the amages , and betrayed great consternation, and the screaming of the ladies added much to the confusion. Several of those in the fore part of the train sustained bruises, more or less severe, in various parte of the body, and the majority of the passengers were considerably shaken in their nerves, but, happily, none of the injuries were of a nature to apprehend that fatal consequences will ensue. Fortu nately, the proximity of the scene of the accident to the Tyne Dock workshops enabled a strong staff of workmen to be on the spot in a very short space of time, and after a delay of less than au hour the ways were cleared, and a fresh engine having been attached to the train, the pas sengers were conveyed to Shields. Three passengers who got out at the High Shields station ware only slightly in ured, and were attended by Dr. Fraine. At the South Shields station some six or eight persona complained of severe bruises on various parts of the body. The assist ance of Dr. Leggett was obtained, who caretully examined those injured, and attended to their wounds. Among the more seriously hurt were Mrs. Bagnall, wife of Mr. Bagnall, of the Oxford, Newcastle, injured about the lower part of the body ; Mrs. Slater, Commercial road, who suffered from a contusion of the shoulder ; Mrs. Dunn, Albion-terrace, bruised on the legs and lower part of the body ; Mr. Thomas Gibson. master mariner, 10, Kepple-street, who suffered from a severe fracture in the jaw and bruised on both legs ; David Ombler, basket maker, belonging to Hull, bruised on the legs ; and John Holly, navvy, Waterloo Vale, tinkled on the left aide mid 106:meepvbeerell,lyGre en-streeL ' bruised. legs.

The insurrection alleged by the radical journals as having taken place on Tuesday evening in Rome was confined to an attack on the poet at Caritali, by a band of 50 armed men, and during the time of their attack another band, less numerous, attempted to carry a post of Zouavee at I3orgonovo. The assailants were dispersed and several captured. Ono hour sufficed to re-establish tranquillity, which had not been disturbed up to the morning of the 23rd inst., the date of the last advices.

The official Gi"rnale di Roma, speaking of the recent insurrectionary movement in this city, I says :—" It commenced by the bursting of a bomb, thrown into the Piazza Colonna. A barrel of gun powder subsequently exploded at the Terristori barracks, killing several Zouaves. Other insur gents attempted to take prisoners the sentinels on guard at Campidoglio, but were repulsed. Similar attempts were made in several parts of the city, and about a hundred arrests were made." (Hear, hear.) It was needless for him to icier to the various objections that existed to the making of a county rate in the City of London, but there was one which appeared to him to be unanswerable, namely, that the justices were irresponsible, and were not amenable to their fellow-citizens, and the principle that taxation with out representation was tyranny fully applied to the case. (Hear, hear.) The citizens of London, apart from their other objections to the tax in question, were decidedly opposed to being taxed by an irresponsible body. (Hear, hear.) In that court the members were amenable to their constituents, but it was very different with the members of the Court of Aldermen, and, from the feeling that was abroad, he thought the aldermen would see that they could not afford to differ from their fellow. subjects on such • question as this. He did not desire to hold out any threats to the justice. of the City of London, but he did wish them to be acquainted with the feeling that existed upon the subject, in order that they might pause and consider before they clime to the resolution of imposing • county rate upon the citizens of London. (Hear, hear.) It was well to bear in mind that in every other corporation in the kingdom the power of taxation was exercised by the municipal tom. only, and those who exercised that power were com pelled to give an account of their proceedings from time to time, and, except in mantles, the justices in no part of the kingdom exercised the power of taxing the inhabi tants. (Hear, hear.) It was urged as an argument in support of the proposed county rate that such a rate wu absolutely necessary, hut he denied that this was the case, and he said it advisedly for the information of the justices. It was true that the corporation would very shortly lose 40,0001. per annum of their revenue, but this was in his opinion of very little consequence. The corporation had a splendid rent roll, and their property was annually increasing in value, and in • very few years the corporation would be recouped for the loss they had sustained by the lapsing of the Finsbury estates. He was of opinion that there was no necessity at the present time for proceeding with this unpopular question. The corporation of London was a wealthy corporation ; they had at their back property equal in value to the rest of the Bank of England, and this being the case he was at a loss to understand why the justices should persist in carrying out their scheme for imposing a county rate upon the citizens of London. (Hear, hear.) If it was neces sary to curtail their expenses they must do so, and without the slightest desire of saying anything that would amount to a threat he would tell the Court of Aldermen that they might possibly begin at the top of the tree. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member concluded by putting his motion to the court.

The Patrie of this evening says :—" The e Emperor presided to-day at a council of ministers at St. Cloud. The principal subjects under discussion were—first, Italian affairs, and subsequently some important despatches from Rome and Florence." Telegrams from the Roman frontier assert that Garibaldi, without taking notice of the summons delivered to him at Foligno, proceeded to Terni, ' and subsequently as far as Narni, where he is pre paring to cross over into Pontifical territory. The remnants of Nicotera's and Menottra bands would form a nucleus sufficiently strong to enable Gari baldi to resume tho offensive. The spirit animat- ' ing the Italian troops is said to have somewhat' improved, through the popularity of General' Cialdini ; but the news of serious occurrences in the Roman territory would, it was feared, occasion a certain degree of agitation in tho army. Intelligence from Florence affirms that General Cialdini meets with considerable difficulty in con stituting a cabinet. The Etendard mentions, under reserve, a rumour that ho has abandoned the attempt to form a ministry, and has advised the King to accept one composed of members of the Left, and of which Signor Crispi and Signor Mordini would form part. The Marquis di Pepoli is expected in Paris to night or to-morrow morning. The case of the Journal des Actionnaires, prose cuted for publishing an article inciting to hatred and contempt of the government, came on to day for hearing. M.

THE BISHOP OP CAPETOWN.— We have received another letter from the Bishop of Capetown, a great deal longer than his former ones, and equally deficient in the coarteey which we are accustomed to receive from our correspondents. We must decline to continue the discus sion on such conditions. The bishop said that his recent letter would be his last, and he has certainly had ample apace afforded him for laying his case before the public. Besides, he complains that he is so much occupied with preaching that he is obliged to write his letters in undue haste, while on the railway, and he seems to think it a great hardship that he should be put to the Decay. sity of defending himself. It will, therefore, be the most considerate course both to the bishop and to our selves to abstain from troubling him in this way any further. The bishop insinuates that we are guilty of " wilful misstatements." We beg, therefore, as • con clusion to this controversy, to say that any reader who wishes to see the Bishop of Capetown's own statement of his case may read it in a small pamphlet, published by Messrs. Rivington, entitled " A Reply to a Letter of the Bishop of Capetown by the Bishop of tit. David's, with an Appendix containing the Bishop of Capetown's letter." This pamphlet contains, in a small compass, the facts and arguments on both aides, stated on unimpeachable autho rity.—Tisics. BRI7SSELS CARPETS, best quality, 3s. 4id. per yard Tapestry ditto, ta.

I . IIE FANCY BREAD QUEST/Cs.—At the Leicester Town.hall on Friday (yesterday), before J. W. Hodges Esq. mayor, and several other magistrates, Reber; Atkins, baker, Leicester, was charged with selling bread otherwise than by weight. Robert Weston said ha went to defendant's shop on October 1, and asked for • quartern loaf. Defendant's wife, who war in the shop, gave him a quartern " cottage" loaf, which he found was 71oz. short of 41b. The defence was conducted by Mr. H. A. °triton, solicitor, who contended that cottage and tin bread came under the designation of " fancy " bread. and therefore defendant was not required to weigh it. Mr. J. W. Black, and Mr. W. Tacey, extensive bakers in Leicester, both stated that tin and cottage bread was always looked upon in the trade as fancy bread. It was made in pre cisely the same way, and out of the same dough, but it was the mode of inking which made it fancy breed. Mr. W. Henderson and Mr. John Wrekin, two London bakers for the purpose of giving evidence in this case, said the same custom prevailed among the bakers in London. The former witness said he could remember when the inspec tors under the Metropolitan Act used to oome round to the shops to weigh the bread. They only used to weigh the hearth loaves, and never the tin or cottage bread. That was always considered as " fancy." After Intuit g the whole of the evidence, the mayor said the magistrali • were of opinion that the framers of the act of parliament meant by fancy bread that which was looked upon in the t,sde as such. Having heanl the evidence which had been m'elueed they hail decided to dismiss the SUMLIODL There was a large number of bakers in court during the hearing of the case. PARIS, OCT. 25, 11 P.M.

The French government will naturally endeavour to cast upon others a part of the responsibility for what is about to take place in Italy against the interests of the papacy, it will therefore seek to treat the matter in common with the other powers. To obtain a congress composed of representatives of all the catholic powers would be difficult, but France may be satisfied with a conference of the great powers, and it appears that this means is to be tried."

TO THE EDITOR OF VIZ =MIL Sts,—The official closing of the Universal Exhi bition at Paris, it has been decided, will take place on the 314 int ent. The building will, however, be open to the public at • reduced charge, under special arrangement of M. Le Play with the commissioners, until the 17th proximo. This extension of time affords opportunity to many who have not alicady seen the Exhibition to do so ; and it is to be hoped that in the interest of British art and Industry the occasion will not be last sight of by our work men. Bo far as regards railway facilities for getting to Paris and back at cheap rates, although the entire cessation of the issue of artisans' tickets has been advertised, their issue will at our instance be continued by the Chatham and Dover Company till the Exhibition shall finally close ; sad the committee on whose behalf I am acting will be very happy to send over all who may apply.—l am, kn., J. T. DEXTER, Corresponding Secretary, Paris Excursion Committee, 265, Strand, W.C., Oct. 25. ROYAL COLLEGE or SURGEONS. —An important alteration in respect to the payment of fees by candidates for the diploma of membership, both at the primary and pass examinations, is about tube promulgated. There isno doubt that the council of the College is fully justified in sano tiouing the proposed alteration, for it is well known at all the hospitals, and by every person engaged in teaching, that there is a certain class of students who will not go through their studies with any amount of steadiness, but when the time arrives for presenting themselves for the ordeal, and when urge d t o "go up," both by parents and teachers, " go in for a fluke," to use their own expres sions, and are consequently " spun." Is is notorious that there are students lounging about the hmpitals who, had they paid ordinary attention to their studiw, would have been members of the college years ago, instead of which they have been so repeatedly rejected, that in self-defence the Court of Examiners have adopted the fol lowing determination :—The fee of five guineas paid prior to the primary examination, and allowed in the whole fee for the diploma, will be retained, and, after any two con secutive failures at the primary examination the candidate will be required to pay an additional fee of five guineas Vrior to being again admitted to that examination, which ftrther fee will oleo be retained. At the " pass " examine- Jima heretofore, when a candidate has been rejected, the whole amount—viz., M. 15s.—has been returned when requested by the candidate, but now, five guineas will be retained, and, after any two consecutive failures, the can didate will be required to pay an additional fee of five trainees prior to being again admitted to the pass exami nation, and this fee will also be retained, A somewhat similar plan has long been adopted by other examining boards.—Medical Times and audit. BAVARIA AND THE ZOLLVEREIN. MUNICH, Ocr. 23. At the sitting of the Upper House Committee to day nine members voted for the rejection of the treaties for the entry of Bavaria into the Zoll verein, and one member in favour of them. It is considered almost certain that in the full sitting of the Chamber on Saturday next the treaty will be rejected. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Ocr. 25. To-day the Minister of War laid before the Chamber of Deputies a bill upon the reorganisa tion of the army, fixing the effective forces of the kingdom at 100,000 men, and the annual con tingent at 13,000. SWITZERLAND. BERME, Ocr. 25. The nomination of a new minister/or Switzerland at the court of Berlin will not take place until the reassembly of the Federal Council. The electors of Wald have returned Councillor Huffy, of Lausanne, u member of the Federal Council, in place of Herr Fornerod. Should the former not accept the nomination, Councillor Rogiure of Yverdun will be elected. PERU. PARIS, OCT. 5. Advice' received here from Peru, dated 21st ultimo, announce the promulgation of the consti tution. At Arequipa the clause recognising liberty of conscience in educational matters occasioned a riot, which however was promptly suppressed. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Miss Banks, Mr. Perren, Mr. Nelson Variety, and (solo violin) Mr. Welt-Hill are the artistes at this afternoon's Saturday Concert. The principal features in the programme are Schumann's Symphony No. 1 in B fiat, Mendelssohn's Trumpet Over ture, and &mini's Overture to Semirosside. While that part of the political and financial world which passed the afternoon in the heart of the city was disturbed by the " latest intelligence," no inconsiderable proportion of the population was more pleasingly occupied in _witnessing the review—favoured by as fine au autumnal day as ever inaugurated a Martinmas summer. The crowd of spectators was certainly nothing like so great as at the review in honour of the Czar and the King of Prussia on June 6, but it was still immense. Paris is not near so full now as it was then, and considering that the fashionable world is yet supposed to be in the country it is wonderful where the thousands of gay equipages came from that thronged the Bois de Boulogne avenues to the Longchamps racecourse to-day. The Emperor went from St. Cloud to the Elys6e to fetch the Emperor of Austria and the two archdukes in his carriage to the rendezvous for getting on horseback, which was at the farthest extremity of the reviewing ground from Paris in the direction of St. Cloud. The Emperor of Austria with his white uniform and copious green plume, on a chesnut horse with a good deal of white about the legs, looked as if he had just cantered out of the frame of his pic ture, which may yet (and till the 31st instant) be seen in the Champs de Mars building. The two Emperors rode together at a slow walk in front of the lines drawn up on either side of the vast hippo drome. The Emperor of Austria was on the Em peror Napoleon's left, nearest the troops ; the two arehdukes,wearing a uniform similar to that of their brother and sovereign, followed, and there was of course an immense staff of generalsand aides-de camp in the ruck. The Empress and the Prince Imperial were in the tribune. Prince Napoleon was on the ground on horseback. As far as I saw or could learn everything passed off pleasantly without any particular incident. A review in fine weather is always a pretty sight, but I know of no distinguishing feature between this and the review on the same spot which was witnessed by the Em peror of Russia and the King of Prussia. The number of troops on the ground, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, is estimated at 60,000. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. —We are requested to advise British exhibitors to be in Paris on the 31st October (either themselves or by their agents), in order to look after the safety of the objects exhibited by them, as the removal and packing of the goods will absolutely com mence at an early hour on the morning of November the let. His Majesty the King of Prussia has conferred on Messrs. Watherston and Son, of Pall-wall East, by royal patent under she great seal, the style and dignity of goldsmiths and jewellers to his Prussian Majesty. ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION.—Tho winter ses sion of the association was opened yesterday evening, at the Institute, in Conduit-street, withitbe customary forms and festivities. Architectural designs, figure drawings, and water-colon: paintings covered the walls and the rich and varied dresses of the ladies who honoured the occa sion with their presence gave to the crowded rooms a bril liancy which in itself was not an uninstructive study in colour. Prises were distributed for designs, figure draw ing, and for plans for dwelling houses at a specified cost ; after which the President (Mr. Phene Spices) delivered the inaugural address. He commenced by referring to the re markable progress the association had made during the past session under the presidency of Mr. Edit, the number of members having been augmented by one-fourth ; and, after reviewing at some length the architectural features of the year, concluded by offering some practical Nugget tions for the more systematic education of architects. He I spoke of the French Exhibition as a failure in point of architectural exoellenee equally with the Exhibition of 1862, but considered it better adapted to the purpose than the English building. The result of the competition in the case of the new Law Courts was, in his opinion, highly creditable to the profession, and as the building to be erected would stand as an example of architecture for years to come, be thought purity of style and simplicity were to be preferred to elaborate design or originality of conception. The evening's entertainment concluded with a coneert of instrumental music. A CENTIPEDE AT SOMEBART-HOCEM.—Mr. Henry Weaver, a messenger in the Inland Revenue Department. Somerset-house, brought to our office on Thursday a medium-sized centipede, which be captured in a letter-bag. This rather disagreeable foreigner in all likelihood travelled post-free by her MaisAy's mail from its native land. Lend sad Water, Oct. A very strong feeling appeared to be evinced that these documents ought to be brought forward, and they were produced. It appeared that various attempts bad been made to establish a county rate in the City of London, for more than a century, but that the principle had never been carried out, from various awes, and the opinion now given by the Attorney and Solicitor General, the Recorder, and the Common Serjcant was to the effect that although the justices of the city of London might legally make a county rate, it could only be applied to particular purposes. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that from what he could see of the feeling that prevailed in the court he was afraid that what he had to say would not have much effect, bat he could not help stating what his views were upon this subject. He then called the attention of the court to the fact that if • county rate had been levied during the present year the citizens would have had a great deal less to pay than they had, but Matted of this they had been assessed to the main drainage rate by the Metropolitan Board of Works upon the new assessment which had been raised to an extravagant amount. He urged the court to permit the justices of the City of London to per form what they considered to be their duty, and he said that he believed. the present proceeding would have taken place but for the pressure from without. If the money that was necessary for the support of those luna tics and other purposes was derived from the public, there would be • larger amount applicable to the purposes of the improvements that were so necessary to be carried out in the City of London, and he believed that if these matters were explained to tho ratepayers this agita tion would not be continued, and they would be content to leave the matter in the hands of the justices of she City of London. Mr. Ez.nronncontended that Mr. Taylor had endeavoured to lead the court from the real question at Issue, and that they ought not to give the least effect to his suggestions. It appeared by the legal opinions that had been read that the aldermen only had the power to expend about 12,0001. a year, and if this was so, be said be should be glad to know what authority they had for drawing 33,000/. a year out of the Chamber. (Hear, hear.) If the proposition of the justices was to be carried out, the justices would levy a rate upon the citizens to which they would not contribute, and be must any that this ap peared to him to be • truly aldermanic idea. (Laughter.) Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., said be thought the court ought to be aware of the fact that there was a great dif ference of opinion exiat'ng in the Court of Aldermen sa to the propriety of enforcing the county rate, and his own opinion was that at the present time it was most undesirable fo- the aldermen to levy this tlx upon the citizens of London. (Hear, hear.) The expression of the opinion of that court would no doubt have greet wegbt with the Court of Aldermen, and he should do all in his power to induce them not to carry out each a proposition, at all events without obtaining an act of parliament. (Cheers.) Deputy Eutorr said it was his misfortune to follow gentlemen who had made popular speeches, which it was I very seldom his good fortune to be able to do. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) He should give a popular vote, but not for the reasons that had been stated. He did not agree with the practice of making use of threats to obtain a particular result. He was always anxious to see the law enforced ; hut, although the justices clearly had the law on their side, he thought they ought not at the present time to make a county rate, because they had plenty of money that could be obtained from other sources. One honourable gentleman had talked about money being wasted by the Court of Aldermen, and be would admit that to some extent this was true, and he observed one most shameful item of 2001. for robes for the Lord Mayor during the past year. This court, however, had sanc tioned this expenditure, and the only observation that could be applied to the matter was, " Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong." (Laughter.) Alderman Rose then addressed the court , and he said that although he was favourable to the principle of • county rate, and believed that it would be the means of enabling the corporation of London to carry out a great many important improvements, in his opinion it was not advisable that the magistrates of the City of London should incur the responsibility of proposing a county rate at the present moment. The report was then unanimously agreed to, after a few words in reply from Mr. Lawley ; and the Town Clerk was directed to furnish • copy of it to the Court of Aldermen, and also • copy of the resolution appended to it. We understand that a gentleman, anxious to extend the useful operations of the Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, has engaged to present to that society a dona tion of fire hundred guineas, if nine other contribatlo•s if • similar mount sea be *Weaned. The Executive Committee of the National Exhi bition of Works of Art to be held at Leeds in 1868, have received the moat encouraging assuranoes of support in their efforts to bring together • collection of sculpture in marble worthy of the English schooL Several of our most distinguished sculptors have evinced a warm interest in the exhibition, while many well-known patrons of art have promised examples from their collections. Mr. Henry it. Saedbach has offered, in the moot liberal manner, Gib son's famous chef therre, " The Hunter," together with the " Aurora," by the same eminent sculptor; the " Nymph preparing for the Bath," by Wyatt ; and the " Shepherdess and Faun," by Spence. Mr. W. It. Sand bag& will lend " The Angel's Whisper," by Spews ; and Sir F. Crossley, Bart., Mr. F. Bennoch, Mr. H. Barnard, Mr. J. Rainey, Mr. James Kitson, and Mr. Arthur Lupton, will also contribute. RITUALISM AT ST. ALBANS, HOLBORN. —The CSSO of " Martin v the Rev. A. H. Mackonochie," which has been already noticed in this journal during the pre liminary proceedings, is appointed to be heard on Tuesday next, at the Court of Arches, before the Queen's Advocate, Dr. Travers Twigs, Q.C., and Dr. Robertson, to whom the Dean of Arches, Sir Robert Phillimore, has issued a special commission, as the promoter objected to bis sitting as judge, on the ground that he had been counsel for the defendant. The case is increasing in public interest, as it will form a precedeut on ritualism, and an appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council will follow as a matter of course. Both parties are repre sented by ptitlie bodies. WORCFAT/LR, LICHFIELD, AND HEREFORD TRAIN ING 'Coma:ca.—The annual meeting of the subscribers. former students, and friends of this institution was held yesterday at Saltley. There was a large attendance. Lord Lyttelton presided; and amongst those present were the Earl of If arrewby, K.G., the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Leigh, the Right Hon. SirJoba Pakingtoo, the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., the Dean of Hereford, Arch deacon Waring, the Rev. V. M. Smythe, Mr. T. C. Kyn nersley, Mr. C. H. Bracebridge, &c. The prizes were dis tributed, and several speeches made. The proceedings were invested with increased interest by reason of the presenta tion of a testimonial, consisting of two handsome epergnes, silver gilt, to the Rev. William Cover, Id A., who has been principal of the college for • period of seventeen years. Lord Lyttelton made the presentation in suitable terms amidst the hearty acclamations of the assembly. His lordship said that the suggestion that this acknow ledgment should be made to Mr. Gover had met with the approbation of every one who had ever been connected with the college. ARRANGEMENTS FOR LORD MAYOR'S-DAY.—The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs' Committee, at a meeting held on Thursday morning, determined not to use the sld state coach in the procession on the 9th of November, but that. in lieu thereof, the Lord Mayor should go in his semi-state or "drew" carriage. At the meeting of the Court of Common Council, held subsequently, however, it was re- commended by a majority of the court that the old state carriage should be used. Whether it will be so or not is al matter which yet remains to be settled by the committee. The committee have resolved to dispense with the pedes trian part of the procession. The pageant will consist therefore of the Lord Mayor's private state carriage, with the state carriages of the sheriffs and under. sheriffs, and the carriages of the members of the Court of Aldermen, and of such of the corporate officers as usually accompanied the procession, with a military escort, com posedet two squadrons of dragoons, and the mounted l of the Life Guards, which will play while the pageant is being marshalled at Guildhall, and afterwards in Palace yard, while the Lord Mayor is being presented to the rons of the Court of Exchequer. There will be no music on the route, and, as far as practicable, the procession will move at a brisk pace, Boas to avoid the necessity of closing any of the streets, and as much as possible any interrup tion of the general business and locomotion of the citizens. Colonel Fraser will have the control of the general arrangements. Mr. Glenn Wesley will have the (Urea tion of the vocal music, and Mr. Dan Godfrey the band. Adams's quadrille band will also be in attendance. It has been resolved to dispense with the objectionable bar amass the centre of the halL The committee, under the presidency of Mr. Deputy Tegg, are meeting almost every day to complete the arrangements. The will be lit up on the evening of the 4th proximo, and will be open to the public between the hours of 7 and 10. The interior, however, will present nothing novel or attractive. The Lord Mayor elect has appointed the Rev. F. E. Lloyd Janes, M.A., ordinary of Newgate, to be his chaplain during his year of offiee. Mr. J. E. Saunders, one of the representatives of Coleman-street ward. is serving on the committee on behalf of Mr. Sheriff M'Arthur, in lieu of Mr. Deputy Perkins, who is seriously ill.—City Press.

H.EVOLTING CRUELTY TO A GIRL.—At a sitting of the Margate magistrates yesterday, Mrs. Adelaide Loma: was committed for trial upon the charge of having ca Golly ill-treated her child, Agues Lomax, aged seven years. The solicitor for the defence resumed his speech on behalf of the defendant. He pointed out various 'las crepencies in the evidence of the witnes.es for the prose cution, and called upon the bench to discard altogether the statement which had been made by the servant girl Kennedy, who was the teal culprit. About a dozen wit nesses were called for the defence. They stated that they had frequently seen the child having its meals, and that it always had plenty of good food. They had never seen the mother act cruelly towards it. Sonic of the wit nesses added that the child was quite healthy and free from bruises when Mr. and Mrs. Lomax went to Brussel.. Coon th'ir return the mother called their attention to the condition of their daughter, who was then covered with a number of severe bruises. One witness for the defence deposed that during their absence he found the girl naked and tied up to the kitchen doorpost by a rope which was fastened round her waist. At this time the servant Kennedy had charge of her. Other acts of cruelty were proved against this servant, and the excuse she made was that she had been told to do so by her mistress. On behalf of the defendant evidence was brought forward that she had tied the hands of the child to prevent it getting into mischief. The prosecution called two wit nesses to throw discredit upon these statements. One, named Davis, used that he was staying at Mr. Lomax's last July, and saw his wife beat the child with her open hand for damaging her shoes. The bench decided that these statements were too conflicting for them to decide upon, and therefore sent the case before another tribunal. THE NEW HOP AND MALT EXCHANGE.—MEET ING of Sussex Hoe GROWEM—An influential meeting of Sussex hop growers was held at tho George Inn, Robertsbridge, near Hastings, on Friday, the loth inst., to receive a deputation of the directors of the new Hop and Malt Exchange, Southwark, who attended for the tem pose of explaining the objects for which the exchange and warehouses had been built, the wanner in which its business will be conducted, and the many advantages which the hop growers will receive from the establish ment of an open market in future. Mr. John Bennett, of Mounttield, presided, the vice-chair being Idled by Mr. Durck, of The Abbey. The following resolution was unanimously passed . :—"That in the opinion of this meet ing it will be materally conducive to the best interests of hop growers that they should avail themselves of tho facilities offered by the new Hop and Malt Exchange." SKETCHING EXTRAORDINARY. — JournaIists who undertake " pen and ink sketches " of notable preachers should make sure of their models before they give dm result to the world. A new weekly paper which has com menced a series of compositions of BIM kiwi published two columns the other day about Canon Boyd, describing minutely his appearance, his manner, and his 'sermon. It now turns out that Canon Boyd was not even in sown on the Sunday in question, having delegated his duty to a clergyman belonging to a different parish. The editor says this week that his contributor had taken the precau tion to inquire from several of the congregation the name of the oflicaating clergyman, and was informed it was Mr. Boyd. However, "on some future occasion he will take care to atone for this error by doing ample justice to the rev. canon's characteristics, whether of manner or matter." —Bury Post Correspondent.
