THIS RZPORM LEAOUg.—Last evening the coun cil of the Reform League met at the offices in Adelphi terrace, Mr. Edmund Reales in the chair. The chairman said the principal object of the meeting wee to consider what the future course of the League should be. He confessed that what took place in the House of Commons the previous day placed him rather in a position of diffi culty, because really all their friends on the liberal side of the house were doing nothing but complimenting the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and saying they were per fectly satisfied with the government bill, which was as much as to say that the Reform League might shut up. He however was not disposed to shut the doors of the League. There were the questions of the ballot, the redistribution of seats, and others of importance which should demand their attention, but on no consideration would they be pre pared to lower their banner of manhood su ff rage. A long dieaussion ensued, the general feeling being that the opera tions of the Lawns should be continued, and that its sphere of action should be extended, and its platform widened. Eventually a resolution was carried, to the effect that she League should now earnestly preen the adoption of the ballot, and that the executive council should carefully consider the question of the redis tribution of seats. The following extract of a letter from Garibaldi to Mr. Beale., dated " Castelletti, near Florence, 19th May, 184,7," was read :—" Forward, apostle of the right and of the true. We will follow you in the holy crusade sgainst ignorance and despotism. Following your example, we will Invite all the workmen's societies in Italy to unite and form themselves around the Artisans' Society (now in Florence, to-morrow in Rome), presided over by the great p.pohino of the city of Galileo, G. Dolfi and, like you, we will find our forum—our Hyde park, where, assembled without arms, but with the majority of a great people, we will demand to be well governed. The example, too, of our brother workmen of Paris and Berlin, exchanging a reciprocal word of love, whilst the governments excited the nations to undermine each other—let it be an example for the future. The nations must know that, with concord, they can for ever overthrow the ignorance and despotism that till now hindered the brotherhood of nations. Say to the English workmen that the Italian workmen send them a word of praise for their noble conduct in the last meeting, and a kiss of brotherly love.—fl. GARIBALDI." LONDON GIGNZYLAL OMNIBUS COMPANY (LzselmD). —Tramp resipte week ending May 26, 11,7-Zi. la. 2d. A NEW RELIGION. At a time when certain members of the church of England are claiming to exercise temporal power on the ground that they are endowed with supernatural gifts, another religious movement, having similar ends in view but which are to be attained by very different means, has not received the attention it deserves. This new faith, de vised and promulgated by Auguste Comte, has obtained several adherents, who are now engaged in spreading it abroad in this country. Its official advocate is Mr. Cungreve. Every Sunday during the past few weeks he has described to attentive audiences what are its characteristics and its objects. As a manifesto addressed to us by men of culture on a subject deeply affecting all man kind, it is right to inquire into the nature of the new religion. Positivism is its name. According to Mr. Con greve, to speak of " Comtism " as it is customary to do, is to employ a term calculated to mislead. Unlike the religions named after their founders, Positivism professes to have nothing personal to its ' author. Unlike other religions, Positivism dis claims everything extra-mundane in sanction or origin : it is held forth as a body of purely human truth fitted to influence human beings, and designed to regulate their conduct only so far as this world is concerned. Its teacher maintains that all other religions have been ancillary to the reception of this one by the human race, that the founders of other faiths have laboured to prepare the way for Auguste Comte. The latter bestowed upon the world both a religion and a polity—the former being cal culated to gratify the religious sentiment of the race, the latter to direct men in their dealings and intercourse with each other. The aim of the system as a whole is " the government" and " re-organiza tion of Humanity.' Indeed, " Humanity" is to the Positivists what a Deity is to others. They regard it not only as a whole which should command uni versal homage, but as a whole of which each con stituent is praiseworthy or the reverse in propor tion as he contributes towards its exoellence. Hence, in their creed, worship, in the purely human sense, is accorded to the great benefactors of Hu manity, and the worship so bestowed is chiefly due to the memory of M. Comte, because, in their opinion, he has most largely benefited the race. In their opinion, also, it is a religious duty to work for others even more than for self. Whatever tends to lessen the enjoyment of the mass ought to be discountenanced. Each one is bound to act so that his personal efforts shall not impede the advancement of his neighbours. He must restrain his desire to acquire knowledge beyond the point which his fellows have reached ; he must equally limit his powers of expression within the compass of what is deemed to be generally beneficial. Men of science are to cease making fresh discoveries until the truths now discovered have been methodized and accepted. The know ledge possessed by one person is not to be in excess of that possessed by all persons, or if it be greater, he is to restrain himself from employing it for selfish purposes. . . A c ommunity of ideas, or rather uniformity in the capacity for forming conceptions, is the ideal towards which the believers in Positivism are to strive, yet they are not called upon to set them selves apart from others in order to attain it. On the contrary, it is their distinctive merit to be able, without violating any precept, to be " all things to all men." What the Jesuit priests did in the East in contravention of the tenets of their church, the Positivists may do by virtue of their creed. So long as things are in a state of transi tion they are entitled to insinuate their doctrines where they cannot impose them, to direct where they cannot govern. As their principles are ap peals to human reason, so must they be accepted by all whose reason is trained to judge them impar tially. As they make no profession about " saving souls," or holding out other than earthly advan tages, they consider that they alone among pro fessors of religion are qualified forgaining proselytes without being tempted to persecute. It is pro posed, as a beginning, to offer to all who choose to avail themselves of it a mental discipline which shall fit them for comprehending the advantages of Positivism as a religion. What the majority of adults are supposed to require is an intimate ac quaintance with mathematics, biology, and his tory. So soon as all men have the requisite know ledge, it is assumed that they will unanimously embrace as their religion the speculations of Auguste Comte. Such is a brief, but, we hope, a fair outline of the " new religion" preached by Mr. Congreve. We have strictly confined ourselves to the doctrines enunciated by him, for they are the first authori tative exposition we have heard of the statements which the professed followers of Auguste Comte ad mit to be worthy of credence. The writings of that philosopher have been differently interpreted by different persons. We now know what is the interpretation put upon them by the select band of English Positivists, who accept the religion as well as the science of their founder. Without entering into the discussion of all the questions raised, we may supplement our analysis with one or two criti cal remarks. The most obvious, yet, as we think, moat important comment which may be made is this : All other religions, it is said, are prelimi nary to this one, and differ from it in being of divine origin ; unlike them, this one appeals to human reason for the proof of its truth ; unlike them, also, this one must endure, for it is the ultimate expression of human reason placed before the human race at a stage in its development when the adoption of such a religion be comes a social necessity. Now, what is this but a series of assumptions ? No doubt Auguste Comte believed his statements to be demon strably true, and his followers believe in him ; but who that does not display a certain amount of faith can accept as indisputable what is, after all, merely the theory of a speculator ? Again, it is pure assumption that the human race would ad vance either in sound knowledge or in general hap piness were the religion of humanity adopted and practised. Equally baseless is the notion that Christianity, regarded from a temporal point of view only, has failed, and become effete. Where Christianity has apparently produced mischief, this is owing to the fact either that it has been per verted, or that its professors are insincere. If more Christians were to practise the noblest precept of their creed—" love thy neighbour as thyself," they would probably be as good citizens as if they were to love Humanity more than self. The question at issue is, whether is the individual or a vague con ception called Humanity to be the first care 1 Shall we work from the centre outwards, or assume the circumference and search for the centre I We feel sure that as noble and useful a life is to be led by the individual who strives to work out his own destiny with the consciousness that unless he work wisely his name will be degraded, and his sue ceesors injured, as if he stopped at every turn to interrogate Humanity as to how far he may advance, and what he shall do next. Rejecting, as we do, the first principles whereon Positivism is based, we cannot but dissent from the conclusion of its teachers. Nevertheless, we gladly give a candid hearing to what they have to urge ; because we think the most despicable course to pursue with regard to those who announce new and unpalatable doctrines is to meet them with ridicule. In these days no one steps out of the beaten track without running the risk of losing either social position or personal friendships. Against those who have embraced the creed of Auguste Comte we would not cast a reproach. The untenableness of the speculations is no reason for abusing the speculator. But we cannot help ex pressing our surprise that Englishmen so acute and enlightened as are the majority of the Posi tivists should expend their labour and employ their talents in such a cause as that of converting mankind to the religion of Positivism.

To remedy this, in the straight run the grams bad been mown from the steeplechase course and strewn loosely over it, and this did a lot of good. By another year the Derbies will be quite thick, and then the course will be fully equal to any of the metropolitan grounda The attendance was numerous, ' though not remarkably large, and suffered materially from the fact of the meeting's clashing with the plc.ule In the Vale of Wye. The improvedring and stand, with the saddling paddock adjacent, were n patronised, and, being elevated, a good view of the rooms could he obtained therefrom. The only drawback to the sumo, of the ineeting arose from the wearl some delays which occurred in almost every race at the starting post, caused by the frequent breaking away of horses, and the unavailing attempts of the starter to despatch them.

THE THREATENED DISFRANCHISEMENTS.—The following petition has been presented to the House of Commons by Mr. Wyld, M.P., on behalf of the Vote by Ballot Society :—'• Thehmnble petition of the executive committee of the Society for the Adoption of Vote by Ballot showeth—That your petitioners hear with sur prise that it bas been proposed to disfranchise the boroughs of Yarmouth, Totnes, Lancaster, and Reigate in conse quence of the notorious and flagrant sots of bribery by in dividuals desirous of obtaining seats in your honourable house, or influencing the votes of the electors for the mid boroughs. That your petitioners submit, as of their own knowledge and conviction, that this state of things is mainly or entirely dependent on the condition of the law, which makes the returning officer assistant to the public wrong by causing him to furnish to the briber the evidence that the dishonourable work which has been paid for has been duly performed. That your petitioners, therefore, pray your honourable house that instead of disfranchising the innocent with the guilty, the elections for the said boroughs may hereafter be conducted by the way of ballot, and your petitioners will ever pray.— By order of the committee, J. F. BoxvEss, Hon. Sec.' The Duke of Beaufort, President of the London Surgical Home, has just presented the sum of one hundred guineas to that institution. CIVIL SERVICE COLLEGE. A public meeting, for the purpose of inaugurating the Civil Service College, was held yesterday, at the Geo- logical Museum, Jermyrstreet. Earl Russets., the peed dent, took the chair, rappelled by Earl Granville, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. M. Gilson, ILP., Mr. Stanek.ld, M.P., Sir ft, Murehimet, General Talbot, and a large number of the principal employis in the various public offices. The prospectus states that certain gentlemen (whom names are given) connected with the various branches of the civil service have formed themselves into • provisional committee, for the purpose of promoting the establishment of • school, at which the sons of civil servants may obtain the beet possible education on the most reasonable teems. It is calculated that the erection and furnishing of suitable building (within • convenient distance from Lea don), affording accommodation for 500 scholars, and, in cluding masters' houses, hall, chapel, he, would cost not lees than 40,000/. ; but it is considered that a building adapted for 200 scholars, and capable of fatale eaten. sion, might be erected, and operations commenced so soon as • sufficient sum of money has been re ceived. It is intended that the necessary funds for the erection of the buildings should Se provided by the past and present members of the service, aided by the contributions of those who have held high office in the state, many of whom have frequently takes occasion to acknowledge in public the valuable assistance rendered to then by the t staff of their respective departments. Aa current expenses, it is intended that the college sh dbe selfenpporting. It is estimated that a payment of 451. per annals, for board and eduestion, would be remunerative ; and would, at the MUM URN, place within the reach of civil Ferrante, in the receipt of moderate incomes, an education for their sons of a standard far superior to any which is obtainable elsewhere for so low a sum. It is proposed that the sons of gentle men, unconnected with the civil service, should be ad mitted to the college at • rate of payment somewhat higher than that charged for the sons of civil servants, care however being taken that the privilege be not granted to the prejudice of those for whose benefit the college is immediately designed. The system of education to be pursued should, it is consi dered, be twofold; offering to these who may be designed for a university career, or to follow the liberal professions, • public school course of the highest class; and to those intended for official or commercial life, a sound English education, combined with instruction in modern language s, The committee are of opinion that the college should u ' conducted on the principles of the church of England; but that, at the same time, the religious views of such as may not belong to that communion should, as far m possible, be considered. It is designed to educate a limited num ber of the eons of deceased civil servants at • reduced rate, and, also in furtherance of the interests of the institution as well as of those whom it is contemplated to serve, it is proposed that those in whom the right of nominating to junior situations in the public service is vested should be solicited to present occasional nominations, to be competed for by the general body of the students. The promises of donations already received by the provisional committee render them sanguine that the funds required for the un dertaking will be forthcoming. At the same time they earnestly invite further contributions, which may be sent by crossed cheques, payable to the order of either of the treasurers named in the prospectus. Earl GRANVILLE moved the first resolution, declaring that it is expedient to establish a school which shall pro vide for the sons of the civil servants of the crown a sound and liberal education, on the most reasonable terms, to be called the Civil Service College. The Earl of Seisrreseuar seconded the resolution, and in doing so paid a high compliment to the honour and in tegrity of the civil servants of the crown, and their in violable secrecy in all Mate matters. The resolution was carried unanimously ; after which Mr. MEASON, the hooorary secretary, reported men munications, expressing concurrence in the object of the meeting, and regret at not being able to attend, from the Duke of Marlborough, Earl Dalhousie, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Lord Du ff erin, Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir J. Peking ton, ILP., Sir R. Palmer, M.P., the Right Hon. Mr. Bruce, M.P., Mr. Dodson, M.P., and read • letter from Sir C. Trevelyan, which bore testimony to the marked improvement, the high ability, integrity, and honour of the civil servants of the crown both in this country and in India, and approved of the proposal to found the college. The Bishop of 017OR0 moved • resolution constituting Earl Russell as the president, and nominating a long list of vice-presidents, including all the noblemen, right 110 R. and hon. gentlemen present, and who bad intimated their approval of the scheme, with many others. This was seconded by Sir E. Ryan, and, after SUR. Murchison, as president of the Geological C had expressed the pleasure it gave him to lace the the atre of the Geological Museum at thedispoW of the committee for the purposes of the meeting, was carried. Earl Reaseee, in accepting the presidency, observed that when it was suggested to him that he might be appointed, he thought it would be ungrateful in him to decline any responsibility or labour which he might incur in connexion with this proposal for the establishment of a college for the sons of the civil servants of the crown—knowing, as he did, that while others had all the excitement of parlia mentary debates and all the rewards of parliamentary dis tinction, the civil servants in the different public offices really furnished all the materials and the means by which that distinction was earned. Having had long experience in several offices in the government, he could testify to the high acquirements and the perfect knowledge of all the de tails of past event. which those whose duty it was to fur nish such materiels brought to bear in the performance of their teak. As in the case of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer those who furnished him with information must possess a thorough and intimate knowledge of all the cir cumstances and details of the public revenue and of taxation, so also in the Foreign-office the civil servants of the crown must be well acquainted not only with concurrent history, but with past events, in order to be able to point out to the minister, who might possibly be one who without much experience had entered the responsibilities of office, those materials upon the knowledge of which alone his judgment could be maturely and safely formed. Things were now moving so rapidly in the world, and in this coantry, that it often happened that public writers and those engaged in the discussions in parliament, while they had before them and were perfectly cognizant of the exact facts that bad re cently happened or were now happening, were ignorant of those which happened twenty or thirty years ago. The civil servants of the crown were well informed on those matters, and when these who were responsible and bad to judge, were required to form their judgment, it would be not only imprudent, but dangerous if they were not informed of all the engagements and conditions into which the crown had entered, of all that had taken place, I and of the details and motives which had induced the action of the goverment in former days on the subject. And while these gentlemen who furnished that information had not the pleasurable excitement of parliamentary debate or the rewards of parliamentary distinction, it was desirable at least that they should have the means of doing that which every feeling man desired to do, viz., to bring up his eons in such a member that they might, in after life, wm confidence and distinction in any calling or profes sion to which they might devote their energies, whether the civil service, the army, the navy, literature, the learned professions, commerce, or whatever they might choose. (Hear, hear.) He thanked them for the dis tinction they had conferred upon him, and in accepting the office of president, promised to do all he could to fur ther the object in view. Mr. Srsintremi, M.P., who likewise testified, from expe rience, to the high character of the civil service, generally moved the reappointment of the provisional committee, with power to edd to their number. This was seconded by General TALBOT, and carried. Mr. W.tu-oez chairman of the committee, moved that hereafter a permanent council for the government of the college be appointed by the subscribers, and in doing so asked the meeting to concur in thanking the noble lord in the chair for the great honour be bad done them in maid ing, and in accepting the presidential chair, observing that it was the first occasion on which the Civil Service had received such honour. Mr. KAY, of the India-office, seconded the motion, which having been adopted, the noble president briefly acknowledged the compliment paid to himself, and the proceeding, terminated.

Amongst those who were pre sent and took part in the pemedings were the Bishops of Oxford, Winchester, Gloucester and Bristol. and Lad Lyttelton. Letters apWegising for Weems were received from the Earl of Chic h ester - and the Bishop of Lichfield, and in referring to • letter respecting the objects of the society, written by the late Bishop of Rochester in January last, his pace took 00a/if& to observe that to that la mented divine the fotuidation of the society was entirely owing. Before the report was reed his grace nude • few remarks touching the objects of the society. He dwelt upon the evils produced by the extensive circulation of books of a blasphemous and. rrel ouscharacter, which he said had unfortunately succeeded in estranging the lower clams from the Bible, and thought that • society which counteracted such evils must be wondered to be • blessing to this country. The annual report was then read. It stated that the objections which at one time were urged against the system of book-hawking had proved to be luminary, and those who owe on various and often oppo site grounds were suspicious of it, had in many cases become its warm supporters. It had been now sufficiently proved by many years' experience that book-hawking was acceptable to thoee classes for whose especial good it was set on foot, that it interfered in no way with the parochial system of England, arid that it did not injure the ordinary bookselling trade, but, on the contrary, gave to it no in considerable impulse in the rural districts. One great and most salutary result of book-hawking had been to drive out of the field a host of immoral and irreligious publica tions, and to change more or less for the better the tone of those periodicals which, circulated by hundreds of thou sands, formed so largely the daily mental food of our artisans and other labourers. The report having been adopted, speeches laudatory of the principles and objects of the society were delivered, and the proceedings termi nated in the usual manner. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BZNIVOLENT INRTITU- TioN.—Tbs seventh annual dinner in connection with this institution for the relief of farmers, their widows and orphans, was held at the Salisbury Hotel List evening. Colonel Loyd Lindsay. M.P., in the chair. In giving the toast of the evening the chairman said the association was in a very flourishing condition, considering that it was started within the last seven years, and the council was exam' • g a wise discretion in the way they dealt with the funds. About 16,00U1. bad been invested in government securities, and all prudent men would agree that the policy of investment was the proper course to pursue in the future. The society's income was between 5,0001. and 6,0001. per annum—not a large sum, considering the property and wealth of the landed interest and the numbers of applicants for assistance. The chairman subsequently gave the health of Mr. Charles Shaw, the secretary, to whoa) ability and valuable services he, with the unanimous consent of the company, paid • high tribute. Some excellent singing, under the direction .of Mr. G. Palen, wee given between the toasts. Tbe toast of "The Agricekteral Societies ef Maglasd, Intlana. use • Scotland " was proposed by Mr. 11`ykyn M.P., and ac knowledged by Mr. Mechi. The aubseeiptions collected during the evening amounted to about 4,000 i. • ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS. The ' annual general meeting took place yesterday, in the theatre of the Royal United Service Institution, White ' hall-yard; Admiral Sr William Bowlers, in the chair. Mr. Alfred Eames, the secretary, read ,the report, which was adopted, and from which it appeared that the expenditure had increased, owing to the high price of pro volone and other necessaries, whilst, notwithstanding the ' commendable exertion. of the secretarythe receipts had decreased in voluntary donations, wh ich had evidently been affected by the monetary disturbances of the last year. This, together with a heavy outlay for a new cook. Ing apparatus, had compelled the conned to have recourse to a loan from the bankers of TOOL., which they thought ' preferable to a selling out of stock at such • period of deression. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEOR.—The annual meet ing of this institution was held yesterday at the Adelphi Theatre, Mr. Benjamin Webster in the chair. The report stated that • sum of 5271. Os. 6d. had been realised for the institution by the performance, at the New Surrey Theatre, of the T. P. Cooke Prize Drama, True to the Core, by Mr. A. R. Slous. Good fortune had also attended the drama at Liverpool, and the council had reason to hope for its further production in other me , tropolitan theatres with profit to the college. The fancy fair at the Crystal Palace last year was attended with the usual success, and resulted in the addition of 1,005 f. 18s. 10d. to the funds. This year the fair will again be held at the Crystal Palace, on the 13th and 15th of July. The total receipts during the year, includ ing a bequest of 5001. from the late Mrs. Mary Anne Storing, amounted to 2.7:431. lla. Id. ; and the expendi ture to 1.773/. lts. 4d. ; the balance remaining to the credit of the institution being 1,0831. 4s. 7d. The report was agreed to, and the gentlemen whoretired from the council by rotation were re-elected. CLERICAL INTOLERANCE.—Considerable excite ment has been trued in the city of Winchester by the extraordinary conduct of one of the parochial clergymen, the Rev. G. A. Seymour, of Holy Trinity. Shortly before the death of a parishioner on whom he had been attending it transpired that he had never been christened, and in view of approach ing death arrangements were at once7made to supply the omission. But in the meanwhile the parishioner died. The clergyman informed the surviving relatives that under the circumstances it would be impossible for him to allow the body tube brought into the cemetery church, but as the deceased had • grave in the consecrated part of the ground, where his late wife was buried, in which he had expressed • strong desire to be interred, he would meet the corpse at the cemetery, and proceed at once to the grave reading • part of the service there. The re latives—two daughters, thus left orphans at an early age by the decease of their last parent—were naturally much shocked, but they could not help themselves, and so were constrained to submit. Every arrangement was made, according to the expressed wish of the clergyman, and now comes the strange part of the story. When the funeral arrived at the cemetery at the appointed timo there was no clergyman, but only a messenger to turn them back again without • wonl of explanation, because the clergyman had changed his mind. No intimation had been given to this effect ; no effort was made to prevent their setting out. The clergyman had even passed the mournful procession in the street, on its way to the cemetery, and suffered it to proceed without a wont of explanation. And so the two daughters were left late in the afternoon with the corpse of their unburied father, not knowing what to do. Leaving the body behind them, they applied in their extremity to the Hes. W. H. Fuller. minister of the Congregational Church. This was late on Saturday evening, but arrangements were at once made for providing another grave in the unconsecrated ground, and for interment the following afternoon. It being Sunday, and the facts of the case having transpired, • large concourse of people was gathered together in the cemetery at the time fixed for the funeral, and the peculiar circumstances gave a some what unusual solemnity to the service. After reading ap. propriate of scripture and offering • player in the dissenting e , the officiating minister led the way to the new made grave, and there, amid the breathless silence of the large assembly, few eyes in which were not wet with tears, committed to its kindred dust the body of this poor victim of priestly intolerance. The rev. gentle man expressed his profound grief at the occasion which I had called them together, the readiness with which he had responded to the appeal addressed to him late on the previous evening, and his deep sympathy with the stir ' vivors of the deceased under the deep and painful trial they had been called to pass through. The large con course of people dispersed with many expression, of sym. for the poor orphans, and of thanks to the Rev. Mr. Fuller for having come forward to perform those rites which it is the proper office of every Christian minister to undertake.—Emstriskire Independent.
