MR. A YRTUN AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. Last t,i,4ht M'. Avrton. tl:o member for the Tower tfainieta, addressed his ..xnstituenti in the Beau. shoot Institution, Mile-end. The large room of that buiklisg was tilled before the proceedings commenced ; sad ou the appo:iranee of the hon. gentleman wine little dillferenee of opinion was exhibited as to his merit., seve ral Tolosa requiring to know what he did at St. James's- Mr. W. lc v:w MN occupied the chair, and briefly intro shoed Mr. Acrtutt to the meeting. Mr. Ai ITT.N, noticing several cries of " St. James'a-hall," mid that ne had the pleasing reflection that, having stated at st. James's.hall what he thought it was sight that people who wished to make a " demonstration" mould do. those who had the management of these mat ten, while in words resolving against what he recom mooted. had in diet decided to do that which he pointed sat to he right. Without attempting to penetrate the future, he expressed the hope that the liberal party would sot in the ensuing session adopt any course which would stultify tueir efforts of last year. Ile supposed that they would he guided by them whom they had accepted as their leader.. because they could not hope to succeed unless they preserved something of the pline of a party ; and for his own part he should be prepared to support any action of what was now recognised as the libnnl party, on the principle to which he had already re ferred -that the Queen's government could not, and ought not, to be carried on without the passing of a measure of parliamentary reform. The hon. ientleman resumed his seat amid very general cheering. Immediately afterwards seven or eight gentle men ail rose at once to address the meeting, and for some minutes tic proceedings were interrupted by disorder and confusion. At length the tact and patience of the chair man enaHed hint to master the unruly spirits with which be had to contend, and order having been restored, Mr. Div moved. and Mr. Dt.ainnsu seconded, a resolu tion thanking Mr. Ayrton for his attendance at the meet ing and fur his able address on the wants of the people at the present time." Mr. CLEMENT moved, and Mr. BRA MATE ii - seeended, as an mem:molt, " That this meeting indignantly condemns the uncalled-for and unmanly attack made by Mr. Ayrton ea her Majesty the Queen, at the Reform meeting in fit. dames':-h, on the 4th of December last, and is of opinion that his treatment of the Reform cause at that meeting, as well ass his refusal to give his aid to the insulted and oppressed t. spuyers of Mile-end when called upon to do so, renders it impossible that the people of the Tower Hamlets altould continue to give him their confidence and support. • The speeches which were made in support of both resolution and amendment were listened to with mach impatience, and provoked numerous interruptions. Before putting the question, The CHAIRMAN, referring to the terms of the amend ment, asked Mr. Ayrton whether he had made an attack upon the Queen. Mr. Arnriot said that the imputation contained in the amendment was utterly and entirely unfounded and un true. All that he said upon the occasion referred to, and that he was prepared to repeat, was that it was the duty of her Majesty's ministers to advise the Queen on all occa sions as far as possible to identify herself with the life of the nation. (Cheers.) The question having been put, the amendment was negatived by an overwnelming majority, and the original noolution was declared to be carried. A resolution in favour of manhood suffrage and vote by ballot was adopted with but trifling opposition, and the prooeedinia terminated with a vote of thanks to the ahsirmsa. WORM DEMONSTRATION AT COLCHESTER. A very large dinner party assembled on Thursday evening under the auspices of the Colchester Reform Club, In that town. The dinner took place in a large building recently created in Abbeygate-street by Messrs. Hymn, wholesale clothes manufacturers, who placed their pre mises at the disposal of the committee of the club. The room used, the largest in the town, measures 115 feet by 40 feet, and was elaborately decorated with a profusion of evergreens, flags, deices, and mottoes. Among the latter wets " Rebow and Brewer, the true friends of the people ; " Gladstone, the friend of the people ;" " Our sscred rights ;" Rebow, and the rights of the freemen; " Brewer, the friend of the working man ;" " Success to Rebow and Brewer ;" " Brewer and progress ;" " Our Queen and constinition;" " Progress, not revolution ;" '• Western and civil amid religious liberty;" " Hardcastle and the abolition of church rates;" " Let lands and houses has e what lords they will, let us be free end our owu masters still." The party which assembled numbered between 800 and MO, being some what more numerous than had been expected, and the chair was occup ied by Mr . T. SUTTON WESTEILV, who was supported by Mr. J. Gunton ltebow, M.P. for Colchester, Dr. Brewer, the liberal candidate for the borough, Lord 'William Lennox, the lion. W. Monson, late M.P. for Reigate. the Rev. P. Wood, and a large number of other leading local liberals. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The sea:errata of the club read letters apoloing for nee-attemlanoe from various gentlemen. The first was from Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., who stated that he earnestly lisped that Dr. Brewer would be successful in his candida ture, and that be would gladly do everything he could to prompt. Isis success, but that he had to deliver un address to the University of St. Andrew's, on February 1, and that it was consequently impossible for him to accompany Dr. Brewer to Colchester. The second was from the Right lion. W. Cowper, Lord Palmerston's son.in-law, who, writing from Broadlands, expressed a hope that the Home ef Commons might have the benefit of Dr. Brewer's services. The third was from Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P for Marylebone, who observed that he was satisfied that Dr. Brewer's success at Colchester would be a very great gain to the liberal party, adding that if he could be of any use to Dr. Brewer during his cinema he begged that Dr. Brewer would not hesitate to apply to him. The fourth letter wan from Mr. H. Berkeley, M.P. for Bristol. The names of several local gentlemen who had sent letters of apology were also given. A great deal of confusion prevailed, and at one time there was quite a fight within a few yards of the chair man. one man emerging with a cut sad wounded face from the unintelligible strife. MR. DOULTON, M.P. TO Till IMITOII OP THZ IXPREVi. Efts,—Your report of the Canner given last eight to Mr. Doulton. M.P., states that among the letters w►ich were read was one from Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., who " thought Mr. Doulton had been very ill-used." I hope that, in justice to Mr. Buxton, publicity will be given to his letter, for this hare statement is, se it stands, calculated to &map the writer in the estimation of his supporters, who, if the fact be so, ought to know whether their representative sympathises with the occupants of the Cave, though he does not vote with them.—l am, &e., Feb. 1.

Galin, M.P., the president, in the chair. The chairman, previous to moving the adoption of the report, which has already been published, apologised for the alisenoe of three of the directors, namely, Messrs. T. Begp, Ebenezer Clarke, and N. bf. Morro, who, ho said, were suffering horn indis position. The bon. gentleman in the course of some con gratulatory remarks, said that when great commercial institutions had tottered and fallen, their society stood unmoved in the midst of all danger. It was a subject for much congratulation that they had been enabled to conduct their operations during the year without increas ing the rate of interest charged to their borrowing mem bers, and that the members' capital had increased until it now exceeded three-quarters of • million. The applica tions for advances had been unusually numerous, and the sums advanced amounted to 70,46 W., being an increase above the amount advanced last year of 2'!,1961. The society and the British Land Company were a sort of Siamese twins, depending on each other for their growth and progress, and he believed the promoters could zever have anticipated the results which bad beer, obtained. The report was unanimously adopted. The retiring dime- Meuirs. Wm. Samuel Burton, John Poole Doyenne, John Francis Bontems, and Ebenezer Clarke were unani mously re-elected. METROPOLITAN COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.' AND WAREHoctsEMEN'S ASBOCIATIoN.—The annual general meeting of this association was held last evening at the London Tavern, Mr. J. Rimmington in the chair.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1867. A COSTERMONWEI...S TEA MEETING. Yoaterday evening the building known as the City Baths, Golden-lane, Barbican, was filled inside, and surrounded without, by a very motley and rather noisy assemblage, the occasion being " A Costermongers' Tea- Meeting," which had been got up by some members of Mr. Spur.zem.'s congregation. Barbican and the surrounding regiona are, we were informed, the head-quarters and prin cipal home of the Loudon costenmongers, and until lately the whole neighbourhood was one of the most turbulent and disonlerly in eastern London. A most beneficial change has, however, recently been effected, mainly through the exertions of Mr. Gramm, a member of the Evangeli,te Association, and who devotes all the time he can spare from his duties as a clerk in the General Post-office to the salutary work of bringing she poor " casters " and their families within the pale of Christianity and civilisation. At first Mr. (Inman visited then, at their homes, or preached to thew in the open air, but latterly, through the aid of sympathising friends, and especially that of Mr. Vieweg, a Swiss merchant, in Wood-street, he has been enabled to rent the building at the back of the Baths, in which yes tenlay a singular soiree took place. We had some difficulty in making our way to it in the darkness across the waste of defunct Smithfield and the intricacies of the Barbican neighbourhood. Half way down Golden-lane, however, an eager crowd of women with babies, young girls, and children of both sexes, all holding up tickets and clamouring for admission at • rather grim-looking door on the right hand side of the lane, indicated pretty plainly that the place of meeting had at last been reached. Within, the humble chapel was crammed to suffocation. Many of the men we could see were indubitable cosier mongers, and the general acquaintance of every one with every one else in the meeting indicated that the women and children belonged to the same community. Great efforts bad obviously been made to get up a clean and decent appearance ; but the traces of hunger, drunkenness, and vice, were still horribly obvious in the facer of many even of the younger persons present. The deportment, however, of all was decorous and attentive, and when the opening hymn was given out we could see by the open mouths, and hear from the body of sound, that it was being fervently joined in by every one in the chapel. Liter in the evening the "rosters" listened well to all the speakers, relished every joke that was given by way of illustration with immense gusto, and if it was one that told heavily against themselves, the only effect was to increase their hilarity and intensify their applause. The impression the poor people gave on the whole was that they were far from being irreclaim able, but that they wanted reclaiming terribly, and that men who, like Mr. Orsmen and his friends, devoted themselves to the good work, deserved the warmest and most efficient support from the public. The evening's proceedings commenced with tea and bread and butter, of which there was a pleutiful supply and • prodigious con sumption. We saw one young gentleman put four slices, one over the other, and then almost dislocate his jaw by taking bits out of the solid mass. A few of the young ones wished to go when the tea had concluded, but the great majority of the meeting were most anxious to wait for the speaking, and even the juvenile would-be deserters were brought beck by a hint that there were to be sand wiches and oranges at the close of the proceedings. The chair was taken by Mr. James Leach, a gentleman who has warmly 00-operated with Mr. Orsman in his minden, and on the platform were also the Rev. James Spurgeon, the Rev. Mr. rattan', Mr. (Taman, and Mr. Wilkins, a re claimed cmteruionger, who had come to tell his experience and to give his advice to his brethren in trade. All of the above-named persons addressed the meeting in turn, and all in the same style—friendly, familiar, admonitory, and encouraging. Mr. Spurgeon appeared to produce the most impression, the assembled costermongers cheering vigo rously even when be exposed their drunkenness, idleness, irreligion, and violation of the home duties. Mr. Wilkins, who was a respectable-looking working man, declared himself to have been a drunken profligate two years since, drinking and swearing all the week and going bird-catch ing on Sundays, but that at the end of that time, and through the benevolent exertions of good friends, he was now a sadder, • wiser, and good deal richer man. This poor moan's voice was hoarse, as is usual with coster mongers, and his style of speaking was rambling and inco herent, but be was evidently earnest and trutlitelling, and his observations therefore made considerable impression on the meeting. Mr. Orstuan followed with an excellent address, and one or two more short speeches terminated the proceedings. THE MANSION•HOUSE METROPOLITAN DISTRESS RELIEF COMMITTEE. The committee met yesterday, and was nume rously attended, the LORD Maiou presiding. The minutes of the meeting of Wednesday last were road by Mr. Joseph Gibbs, the secretary to the Lord Mayor, and were con• firmetL The report, presented by Mr. Ball, the cashier, showed that the total amount melted np to that day amounted to 9,121/. 12s. ld. ; of which 7,143/. bs. 4d. had been received at the Mansion-house. The grants which had been 'node amounted to 4,205/., leaving an available balance at the bankers of 2,838/. ;a. 4d. To this may be added the sum of 2,0784 to. 9d. lying at the various bankers, and these two last items made a man of 4,914.4 12s. Id. now to be disposed of. The Lord Mayor, in the court, of the proceedings, took occasion to draw atten tion to the almost exhausted state of the fund, in the poor-box at the Mansion•house justice room. In cense creme of the vast addition to the number of the applicants, and from the course of benevolence which usually flowed into the coffers of the poor-box having been turned in the direction of the funds to meet the general distress preva lent in the eastern diatricta, the finances of the poor box had been seriously affected and reduced. He (the Lord Mayor), under these circumstances, suggested that the poor-box had some claim upon the funds now at the dispmal of the committee. The committee at once adopted his lordship's suggestion, and made a grunt of 50/. to meet existing exigencies. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Stutlield, the treasurer, and the Rev. Mr. M'Gill, attended from St. George's-in-the-East, and made a second application for assistance, and mentioned that since their last appearance the extensive parish had been subdivided into tti.stricte, especially the poorest loulities, ►nd these were now regularly visited by active local committees. The Rev. Mr. 31`Gill detailed some extremely painful cases of dire distress, and added that, although the poor law guardians had acted with rematkable liberality, yet their workhouse was more than full, and that the extent of the out-door relief now afforded was enormously increased and alarming. The commit tee, after an interesting c- - -nvereation, made the deputation • second grant of 300/., in addition to that which had been made at a previous meeting. From the district of St. James, Rateliff, a deputation beaded by the incumbent, the 11ev. Mr. Atherton, attended and sup plied information as to the existing distress prevailing in that remarkably poor and pauperised locality. It was men tioned that some charitable individual had sent to the local committee • supply of 2.1 blankets, and for these there were hundreds of applicants, principally fe males just delivered, and with scarcely • rag to cover them and their newly born infants. The details pro- duced a visible effect upon the whole of the committee, and it was first proposed to make a further grant to the deputation of LaM., but after • short discussion the amount WAS increased to the sum of 2001. A deputation from St. James, Kennington lane, headed by the Rev. Mr. ('arrow, attended, but failing to show that they had any exceptional cases of distress in their district the claim for assistance was negatived by the committee. The total grants made during the day amounted in the whole, to 5:30/. The committee at its titan at a late hour adjourned to Monday next, at two o'clock. Kitbl inttlltQtntt. COURT OP RANKRUPTCY.—Fss. 1. (Before Mr. Cotnnuarioner Hohoyd.) IN RZTHR HON : R. T. HOWARD. The bankrupt. the Hon. Bernard Thomas Howard, • younger son of the Karl of Suffolk, was described as late of Winchester, retired military officer. He ascribes his difficulties to having become surety for friends, who failed to meet their engagements. The indebtedness, as shown by accounts prepared by Mr. Banes, is returned at 3,0821., with assets of trilling amount. Mr. Sargood (specially retained) was counsel for the bankrupt ; Mr. Aldridge appeared for the official 'undoes. Mr. Aldridge stated that further accounts had been furnished, as directed at the last sitting, and the bank ruptcy hail been re-advertised, with full particulars of all the places where the bankrupt had contracted debts. He was not aware of there being any opposition. The bankrupt was shortly examined, and said that he had deposited with Captain Crofts a ring and parapher nalia. By " paraphernalia " he meant fishing tackle, which was worth about l.'W. (A laugh.) A watch which he purchased for 100 guineas at Benson's had been pledged for 201., and the ticket wadi in the hands of a Mr. Worby. Mr. argood said there would be no difficulty in paying into court • reasonable sum, say 101., for the paraphernalia, and Mr. Aldridge would no doubt make inquiries with regard to the pawn tickets and any other matters he might think necessary. The Commissioner—l observe that the bankrupt's expen diture was at the rate of 1,3001. per year, and he now owes 3,0001., which includes liabilities of 4001. upon accommo dation bills ; what expectation had he of being able to pay his debts? The bankrupt admitted that he had no income, except an allowance which he received from his father. Mr. Aldridge remarked that a number of valuable articles returned as having been given up to the official assignee had not been received by him. Besides other things there was • cigar case, a liqueur cue, • gold pencil ease, and a tobacco pouch. (A laugh.) Mr. Sargood said he was instructed that those articles should be accounted for, or their value paid into court. With regard to the bankrupt having brought himself within the statute by contracting debts without reasonable expectation of payment, he would observe that no creditor was present to make such a complaint. A well known author had characterised all expectations as unreasonable --(a laugh)-but be submitted that the beet judge of the reasonableness of • debtor's expectations to pay the de mands upon him was the creditor himself. In the present case the creditor's expectations were founded, no doubt, upon the fact of the bankrupt being an earl's son and a gentleman. The court would also bear in mind that the I bankrupt had not voluntarily sought to be relieved from his liabilities, but he hadbeen driven into bankruptcy upon the adjudication of a registrar made in consequence of his arrest. Of the debts upon the schedule more than one half were due to money lenders, and the bankrupt had in dulged to • very moderate extent in the purchase of articles of luxury or extravagance—such as horses, carriages, or jewellery. He (Mr. Sargood) therefore hoped that an immediate order of discharge might be granted. His Honour maid that even if no creditor opposed be thought upon the true construction of the 159th section that it was the duty of the court to inquire into the cir cumstances of each case. Being of opinion that the bank rupt had incurred debts without reasonable expectation of Rayment, the order of discharge would be suspended for six months, but, as no creditor opposed, protection would be granted. LOSS OF THE SHIP MONMOUTH AND EIGHT OF THE CREW. LIVERPOOL, Faints. The ship David Cannon, Captain Walsh, which arrived here to-day, brings to this port 12 of the crew, including Captain Jones, of the ship Monmouth, which foundered at sea about the sth of January. The sufferings of the survivors of the crew of the Monmouth will take their place amongst the saddest episodes of the sea. It appears that the Monmouth left New Orleans for Liver pool, via Pensacola, on the 17th of last November, and since then, up to the time she was fallen in with by the ship David Cannon, experienced, with but slight intei - missions, a series of heavy storms. Nothing of any serious consequence however took place until about the latter end of December, when the unfortunate ship encountered a terrific hurricane, in the course of which • heavy squall, accompanied by an enormous sea, swept over the vessel carrying seven of the crew and the whole of the deck furniture, &c., overboard. None of the crew were saved, as their fellow mates were unable to render any assistance. From the report of Cap tain Walsh, of the David Cannon, we learn that on Sun day, the 20th January, about 4 p.m., he fell in with the ship Monmouth, bound from Pensacola for Liverpool, in lat. 40 N., lon. 46 W., water-logged. The vessel was timber laden, the cargo being principally oak and pitch-pine, and appeared to be • complete wreck. The after-deck house, bulwarks, stanchions, coals, &c., were all gone from the deck. The mainmast had been carried away by the board ; the wizen topmast and jibboom were broken, and the sails blown into ribands. The deck and beams had parted on the starboard side ; the stern was smashed in, and the timber part of the cargo was working out of the side. Alter much difficulty and danger Captain Walsh suc ceeded in taking away 12 men from the rigging, all of whom were disabled and many of them unable to stand, the poor fellows having been m the rigging for six days, during which time the weather was very cold and stormy, the po"r fellows having been without food and with very little clothing. All the provisions and clothes were washed overboard, the hull of the vessel being completely under water, and the sea making a complete breach over her. In addition to the men washed overboard, one of the poor fellows died from sheer exhaustion and hunger in the rigging. Nothing was saved from the wreck but the 12 men, among whom was Captain Jones. The night of the 20th January was very dark, and a heavy gale was blowing from the N.N.W., accompanied by a tremendous sea. Notwithstanding all these difficulties, Captain Walsh gallantly stood by the wreck until the 12 unfortu nate survivors of the Monmouth were safe on board the David Cannon. THE LAW OP TRADES' UNIONS. THE LAST SERVICE IN A CITY CHURCH. Yesterday morning a special service took place in the parish church of St. bl.ay Somerset, in the City of London, this being the first of the churches in the City which is doomed to destruction under the Bishop of Lon don's Act for the Union of City Benefices. The church is situate in Tharnes•street, and is a large, square, harn•like structure, with no pretensions to scclaiaatical proprieties of any kind, and with scarcely any parishioners to attend its services. It has had connected with it the parish of St. Mary Mounthaw, whose church having been destroyed in the great fire of London was not rebuilt, and henceforth it will be united with two other neighbouring parishes, the church of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, of which Dr. li.*miston, the head master of St. Paul's School, has been for some years the rector, constituting the church of the united parishes. ts Henceforth, however, the Rev. Dr. !Stabbing, the rector of St. Mary Somerset, will be the rector of the four united parishes. There were many strangers present at the morn inga service, and the *ery small body of parishioners was tolerably well represented. The Litany service was read by the Rev. Dr. Stabbing, and the Communion service by the Rev. E. H. Fisher , 111. A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cam bridge, resident chaplain to the Bishop of London. At the close of the Communion service Mr. Fisher, still standing within the rails of the Communion-table said, lam de sired by the bishop to read to you the following letter: To the Incumbent and Churchwardens of the United Parishes of St. Nicludas cote Abbey, St. Nkholas Olare, Bt. IlaryBomersct, and St. Mary Mounthaw. Fulham Palace. Feb. 1, 1867. Brethren,—You are met together to worship in thin church for the last time. I should have been glad If circumstances had allowed me to be present personally at the closing, as in distant times some one of my predecessors was doubtless present at the opening of this house of thud, fur a solemnity certainly attaches to the discontinuance of public worship In a place en long re garded as hallowed, In and around which Ile the mortal remains of so marry who have fallen asleep in Christ. HOMO two hoe dred years ago a great visitation from God devastated the City of London. and laid many of Its parish churches In ruins. It was then found that the changed circumstances of the time were such as not to require the rebuilding of more than about (oar-sevenths of the churches which hail been thus destroyed by fire, two of the churches then found to be unneces sary being those of St. Nkholasolave and wt. Vary M oun haw. The same sort of changes in reference to population which had then begun to operate had in the present century been making rapid strides. The great body' of those who used to reside within your parochial limits have sought their h o mes elsewhere, and It is accordingly found Impossible to provide fit congregations to worship In all our City churches. Feeling that the services in these thinly attended churches are not conducive to that which is afforded here In superfluity to very little purpose, In greatly needed amongst the teeming thousands of the poor in other parts of the diocese, sod that the energies of the clergy are wasted here in inactivity when they are greatly needed elsewhere, the legislature so long ago ea the year 1856 wive Its consent to a bill Introduced into parliament by my pre decessor fur uniting City benefices and removing elaurches which were not Imeded. The pro‘ Mona of that act having been found impracticable, I, In the year 18.:7, asked sod obtained the con sent of parliament to an ;unending act. Under the provisions of this latter act, with the consent of ell parties concerned, this church is after this day closest. The greatest care will be taken of the remains of the dead, of the nacturmenta, and an that has become the subject of sacred associations. But prayers will not be offered here again, nor the word of God preached the building will he removed, and in stead of this church, another hearing its name will he erected In the thickly peopled district of St. Mary Heaton, while the spiritual wants of all who live In this parish will he provided by the rector of what has now become the United Rectory of St. Nichulas liNale Abbey with Mt. Mklo4• Olave and St. Mary Sumenst With St. Mary Mouuthaw, and who by a clause in the act of parliament and the scheme for union is required to residewithin the limits of the united henefice. The scheme also presides that the church of it. Nicholas Cole Abbey shall henceforward he the parish church of the united parishes. I toot, brethren, that the blessing of almirrhte God may, through the Lord Jests Christ, rest on the more completely organized arrangementsof the united parishes, and that the new St. Mary !lotto'', may lie a source of reit-Solo instruction. and comfort the many who have hitherto been much estranged from the mean, of grace. The bishop ordered that the letter should be entered in the vestry books of the respective parishes. Mr. Fisher then ascended the pulpit and selected for his text the 4th chapter of St. John's Gospel, verse 21, " Jesus slab unto her, woman, believe me the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father." At the close of the sermon Mr. Fisher pro nounced the benediction, and the congregation of St. Mary Somerset left their church for the last time.

The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board took place yesterday, at their offices in Spring gardens; Sir .1..1.1N THWAITEM in the chair. A deputation from the Metropolitan Association of Medical Officers of Health attended the board to present a memorial praying that in any bill introduced into par liament for the amendment of the Building Act a provision should be made to insure proper sanitary ar rangement, in the dwellings of the poor, and to require that all offensive and injurious businesses should be re moved from London. Dr. Dnswirr, president of the association, supported the prayer of the memorial, and it was referred for con sideration to the special oomudttee on the Building Act. HAM PSTF.AD HEATH. The Works and General Purposes Committee presented their report upon the result of the Legotiations between Sir John Thwrites, the chairman of the board, and Sir Thomas Msryon Wilson, as to the purchase of his rights over Hampstead Heath. The report was as follows : Your committee have to report that they have received from the chairman of the beard a statement of the result of the in. terview which he has had with Mr Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., In pursuance of the resolution of your honourable board of the flat December last ) No. 9 , , requesting him to seek such Interview, nod ascertain whether Sir Thomas Is prepared to nego tiate for the dedication of Hampstead-heath and portions of adjoining lands to the public use, and, if so, upon what terms. The thiamin has stated to your committee that, agreeably to an appointment made for the purpose, he, on Thursday. the 24th inst., proceeded to the residence of Sir Thomas Wilson at Charlton, Kent, where he was very courteously received by Sir Thomas ,who was attended by Mr. Y. J. Chu*. surveyor'. The questiou of the purchase of Hamsteath-heath was then di scussed at considerable length, anti Sirthomas, in reply to the chairman's inquiry as to whether he was willing to part with his Interest in the Heath, and If so, upon what terms, at lint stated that until the 21st section of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act," 19 and 20 Vic., c. 12u, was repealed, he would not be able to sell or even treat for the sale of It. He then made an ob servation to the effect that he supposed he was asked to sell his freehold property at Hampstead. The chairmen reminded him that, up to the present time, he had been treated with as lord of the manor, and not as the freeholder of the heath, and called his attention to • letter from his (Sir Thomas') solicitor, Mr. Laden, which was read to the bond on the Pith June, 1857, and also to the statement made by Mr. Leaden to the board on that day, In which he referred to Sir Thomas as simply lord of the manor. The chairman further reminded him that the ex tent of his rights in the heath need offer no interruption to the of the negotiations for Its sale to the public. Inasmuch as the question of such rights was at the , present time before the Master of the Rolls, and would In doe course he determined ; nor that the restrictions to which he had referred, with respect to the tilt section of the act above men tioned, need be regarded as a bar to any agreement which Sir Thomas, as representing the property, and the chairman of the board, as the representative of the public, might enter into for the sale of the rights In question. The chairman reported that he distinctly put It to Sir Thomas that, provided an arrangement could he come to between the board and himself for the pur chase of the heath, they would be willing to join him In an ap plication to parliament, for the purpose of obtaining the neves eery powers to enable hint to pant building leases of such por tions of the adjoining lands as the board might not require for the purposes of the public, and that, in all probability, parlia ment, having regard to the fact that such au arrangement would secure the heath to the public In perpetuity, would accede to the request. Sir Thomas, however, did not appear disposed to agree with that suggestion, but argued that he saw no reason why he should sell his pro perty at Hampstead for the purpose, as he alleged, of grati fying and bantling certain parties who had for years o him In obtaining his rights. l'pon being again utged tree chairman to favour him with bis views as to the value of his interest in the heath, Sir Thomas Wilson elated that, having regard to the price which he obtained for some land at Charlton, sold by him to the South Eastern Railway Company, he was of opinion that the property on Hampstead-heath was worth from 49.000 to £lO.OOO per acre. The chairman expressed his astonish ment at the amount mentioned by Sir Thomas, in which expres sion of opinion your committee fully concur. Your committee, whilst they cannot but express their regret at the result of the negotiations, are of opinion that it would be advisable to refer the subject back to them to watch the proceedings now pending before the Master of the Rolls, and from time to time to report the progress of the same, together with such other particulars as they may consider desirable, and they recommend that course for adoption. Mr. FREEMAN said they must all of course regret the way in which they had been met by Sir Thos. Wilson : but so long as he, the lord of the manor, considered himself as the freeholder of Hampstead-heath, it would be useless to try to negotiate any further with him. He moved that the report of the committee be approved and adopted. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. RE- ‘PPEAItt`CCE OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE. "_'.. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted to state that there had been a sudden outbreak of the cattle plague in Islington in a large dairy in that neighbourhood, and nine of the cattle bad been already slaughtered. The committee had considered the matter, and had declared that parish to be an infected district under which cattle would be prevented from being taken into or out of that area, and thus the plague spot would be oonEned to where the disease bad broken out. The place is near to the Metropolitan Cattle. market, and the fear was that the infection might be car ried to it, and thus prevent the market being held. He had had a communication, however, with the Lord Presi dent of the Council, and received from him an assurance that their order would not affect the holding of the market. _ _ Mr. FREEMAN wished to know whether these were foreign cattle Mr. RICHARDSON said they were not. They were all English cattle. After the transaction of some further business, the board adjourned. ANOTHER OUTBREAK or CATTLE PLAGUE IN THE 7ileritorotia.—After an interval of some months, the rinderpest has re-appeared in the metropolis, and, by what at first sight seems a singular coincidence, it has broken out ou the same premises where it was first diaoo vered in June, 1865. At tha beginning of the present week a cow at Mrs. Nicholls's, Laycock's Daisy, Islington, was observed to be ill, and upon en examination being made it was discovered that the animal was suffering from cattle plague. The information was immediately for warded to the proper quarter, and the most energetic pro ceedings were adopted to arrest the spread of the malady. The dairy and the lairs adjoining (which are used for beasts brought to the Islington market) have been declared infected. In explanation of the outbreak, as fares we are informed, it can only be stated that *considerable number of foreign animals are weekly brought to the lairs, which are on the same premises as the dairy. The existence of the cattle plague in Rhenish Russia has been announced ; reports, which require confirmation, point also to Bavaria and Silesia as infected districts : and without desiring to excite any unnecessary alarm, we cannot avoid expressing a fear that we shall see more of the pest yet. Its present outbreak might ere this have assumed proportions that would render it difficult to control, had there not been at hand the means of dealing with the emergency without delay.—The COURTS OF JUSTTCE Dr./MINS. — The public press are to be admitted to a private view of the competing de signs for the new courts of juatice, from 9.39 to 11 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, the Bth and 9th, and also on every ensuing Thursday and Saturday in February, from 9.30 to 11 a.m. At 11 o'clock on these days the Fabibition will be open to other visitors i till that hour it will, as far as the business of the commissioners will allow, be kept exclusively for the public press and critics. DOTTATION TO NIL WALPOLE. Yesterdayifterneon adeputation waited, by appointment, on the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole, for the purpose of representing to him, and through him to the government, the position in which trades' unions have been placed by the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of the Bradford Boilermakers, and of impres. sing on the government the importance of putting theta in the same position with regard to protection as friendly societies in general. The deputation consisted of Mr. Wil liam Allan, representing the Amalgamated Engineers ; Mr. D. Guile, Ironfounders' Society ; Mr. It. Applegarth, the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners ; and Mr. George Odgen, the trades' council. The deputation was intro duced by Mr. TO/IA6 HUGH6I4. M.P., who said he believed, and with great reason, that the decision of the Queen's Bench had placed trades' societies entirely outside the law. The deputation wished to lay their case before the right hon. gentleman, and ask whether the government could not assist to place them in the position in which they under stood they had been placed by the acts of former govern ments. After constderablediscussion, Mr. WALPOLE said two distinct propositions had been laid before him. One was to deal with this particular cue by some legislation immediately ; and as to that he understood the deputation were prepared to lay a memorial before him as to the exact potnt on which they wished legislation. Secondly, with reference to the importance of a full investigation into the working of these societies, all be could say now was—and he believed Mr. Hughes would bear hint out—that they would find in a very few days that he was not in the least unfriendly to such an ob- ject as that. The deputation then thanked the right hon. gentleman, and withdrew. THE LONDON DILESSINAKING COMPANY. —The re ' port to be presented to the shareholders at the annual meeting, on Monday, congratulates the shareholders on the results of the working of the company's business during the past year. The object for which the company was started, namely, the improvement of the condition of the workwomen of London, has been steadily kept in view. The limitation of the hours of work has been strictly ob served, and it is satisfactory to be able to state that the system adopted by thia company is being gradually carried out by the best houses in the West-end tr a d e . The direc tors have good reason for believing that this change is in great measure owing to the establishment of this com pany. That the advantages offered by this company are lily appreciated by the workpeople, is manifest from the fact that applications for employment are so numerous that it is found impossible to employ more than a small proportion of the applicants. Turning to the financial affair of the company, the directors wish, in the first place, to call the attention of their shareholders to the favourable turn which has taken place since the butt gene ral meeting. At that time (the expiration of the first nine months) the company's balance sheet sh o wed a lass of 409 f. 17s. 6d. The accompanying balance sheet for the past year shows, on the other hand, a profit of 291 f. 6a. Sd. The directors have thought it best to apply this sum in liquidation of last year's lass, and do not therefore resocumend to the shareholders the declaration of a divi dend. In order to secure prompt payment, and thus en able the company to trade with a smaller amount of capi tal, the directors allow to their customers a discount of five per cent., if their bills are paid within one month. In this manner the directors have allowed upwards of 5001., and this sum must be taken into account in estimating the value of the business which the company has secured. The director, would, moreover, impress upon the share holders the fact that the past year was one of unprece dented dulness in trade, notwithstanding which, from their now well-established connexions, they have been enabled to do a good business, and they look forward with confidence to a large increase of custom and consequently of profits lathe future.
