BRIGHT AT ROCHDALE. 18411 was at Leamington, and spent several months there—it was sear the middle of September—when there fell upon ; me one of the heaviest blows that can visit any man. I found myself left there with none living of my house but a motherless child. Mr. Cobden called upon me the day after that event, soterrible to me and so prostrating. After some conversation he said, " Don't allow this grief, great as it is, to weigh you down too much. There are at this moment in thousands of homes in this country wives and children who are dying of hunger—of hunger made by the law. If you will come along with me, we will never rest till we have got rid of the corn laws." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) We saw the colonial injustice which cast its shadow over every part of the nation, and we thought we saw the true remedy and the relief ; and that if we devoted ourselves, in con junction, as you know, with hundreds and thousands of good men in various parte of the country, we should be able to bring that remedy home, and affonl that relief to the starving people of this country. (Cheers.) I recollect in some of our labours when I looked forward to the day which I could not but see and know was coming, when that injustice would be removed, and law-made hanger would be for ever after prevented.

A PLOT FOR A MELODRAMA.—A Madrid letter, in the IntPrewin.er Berg.., quotes • curious story from an Albacete journal :—" A abort time siooe," it says, " two soldiers on furlough obtained shelter at a respectable house in a village near Alicant, although the master was from home and only the mistress and a female ser vant in care. In the evening the soldiers retired to the barn to sleep. The night was not far advanced, when a ktioek cause to the door, sad the lady of the house, not doubting but that it was her husband, opened. Two Men in masks rushed in and, with daggen displayed, demanded • large sum of money. The soldiers were awakened by the noise, and came speedily to the house. They were attacked by the robbers, but being arn.ed, the latter had the worst of it, and were both soon stretche d dead by pi sto l s h ots. A few minutes after the master of the bonne returned, but the soldiers, reasonably supposing that he might be an accomplice of the malefactors, refused to., admit him, un l ess he brought the authorities with him. He was therefore forced to go for the mayor, but the latter war from home ; the mayor's substitute was also absent ; hot two gendarmes went back with the gentleman, sad the soldiers at once let them in. The facts were speedily re- Weal, and what was not the surprise felt when, on unto:i tem); the faces of the robbers, they were recognised as ilisse of the mayor and his substitute." The conferences of the plenipotentiaries will shortly be closed. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JAN. 30.

William Butler, vicar of Wantage, who was lately elected a bishop in South Africa, publishes the following letter, which he has received from the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Oxford : Addington Park, Jan. 12. My dear Sir,—We have carefully weighed the difficult question which you have proposed to us, as to your accept ance of your election to the office of a bishop in South Africa, and we have concluded—that the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council having deter mined the position of our church in South Africa to he that of a voluntary spiritual society, and that the lettere Jtent held by Dr. Coleus° confer on him no territorial urisdiction or authority there is nothing in his legal position to prevent the el;ction of a bishop to preside over them, by those of our communion in South Africa who, with ourselves, hold him to have been canonically deposed from his spiritual office. Considering, then, the post of bishop to be vawant, and the needs of this diatnct of South Africa to be urgent, we dare not advise you to refuse the call which has reached you. But before we can advise you to accept it, there appear to us to be certain grave doubts which require to be solved. his evidently of the utmost moment that no room should be left, in the action which you are invited to take, for creating a schism, which would still further weaken and divide the church. For the avoidance of so great a danger it seems to us unusually important that tho canonicity of your election should be clear from every reasonable doubt. Now we perceive -1. That the electing clergy were a deckled minority of the clergy of the diocese. 2. That an equal number voted for and against the pro ceeding to an election. 3. That some of those who opposed proceeding tout election recorded their refusal to receive a bishop if one were consecrated us the result of so evenly balanced a vote. These considerations suggest to us the doubt whether there is as yet the proof which you have a right to require, viz.-1. That the canonicity of the election is certain. 2. That it will be recognised by the metropolitan and suffragans of the province as canonical. 3. That it will be so recognised by the church at home. We further notice, that though a large majority of the ' lay communicants present voted for the election, yet that they amounted only to twenty-nine so small a propor tion of the whole number of lay communicants in the dio cese, that we doubt whether these votes can properly be taken as expressing the " assent of the laity ;" more espe. ceially as we do not perceive that they pledged their order to make the needful provision for their bishop. We advise you, therefore, to suspend your decision until these 1 important questions concerning your election shall have been completely answered. With earnest prayer to God to lead you in this matter to see and to, do His will,—We remain, ever yours, (Signed) C. T. CAKruan. Rev. W. Butler. S. Oxos. Tii BOMBAY MAIL.—ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 30. The Mantilla and Nyanza left at 9.40 a.m. to-day. The former may be expected at Marseilles on the sth, and the latter at Southampton about the 12th prox. The address was then adopted, and presented to Mr. Bright amidst loud cheering. Mr. BRIGHT, when the cheering had subsided, said—l am, as I ought to be, very grateful to you for the address which has just been presented to me, and for the most kind manner in which you have received the ob servations which have been made in my favour If we were all here in the witness-box to-night, I must say that I would not undertake to prove one-half of that which has been said in my praise ; but, grateful as I am, I confess to you honestly that the address and the meeting to-night in prospect have been burdensome to me, for I feel that I have mall claim to the honour which my townsmen have seen fit to show me, and I would, if it had been possible, h►ve escaped this meeting altogether; and, as you know, it has been driven off almost to the last moment for the meeting of parliament, partly in the ex pectation and the hope that it might have been forgotten. (A laugh.) I account foryourexceeding kindness in this way, that you have observed that I have been assailed in the most unusual manner by public writers and public speakers of a particular party, speaking and writing in many parts of the kingdom, and doubtless you have count to the con clusion, which was reasonable, from the fact, that some order had gone out from head.quarters that all the miserable writers and speakers of the miserable and hatefnl faction should endeavour, in the interval between the session of 1866 and the session of 1867, to defame me as much as possible, in the hope of injuring in some degree whatever influence I may have in favour of the great question of the extension of the franchise. Seeing all this, you thought it but fair and right that you, my neigh bours, and townsmen and friends, should give me such support as was in your power, in the hope that, placed as .1 sin by some accident which I cannot explain, partly in the fore front of this great conflict, I might perhaps de rive, as I certainly shall derive, much strength from your generous sympathy. (Loud cheering.) Wondering some times at these various and continued assaults, I have just cast a look over the 25 years of political life which I have lived, and I have asked myself how it happens that that is done in political life which is not dons in any other kind of life with which we are acquainted. (Hear, hear.) A man may be very active, and in the fore front of a re. ligious controversy he may hold the same position in some literary controversy, or in some scientific disputation, but no man living, however much opposed to him, would think of pursuing him with that rancorous spirit which unfortunately is introduced into political controversy, and which has pursued me with an unrelenting animosity, not for months only, but for years past. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") In looking over that 2.: years I found, as far as my mental eye could detect, that my path had been straightforward, not varying, so far as I know, to the right hand or to the left from any unworthy motive. (Loud cheers.) I found that the principles upon which I had acted were well defined—were distinctly avowed, and were easily comprehended ; and the prin ciples were simply these—that the law and the adminis tration of the law in this country should regard with just and equal eye all classes of the people—(cheers)—and that on all questions of government—all great national ques tions—we should bring to bear these simple but sublime principles, the high and everlasting principles of a pure morality which we derive, or ought to dirive, from the reli gion which we profess. (Loud cheers.) Now, in these 25 years, so far as I know, I found no divergence from the principles with which I first set out, but unfortunately, in some re spects, I have not allied myself with any political party. (Hear, hear.) The public men of this country are mainly of two parties ; the public press until recently was of two parties, and if any politician took a line independent of these two parties, he did not and could not hope to receive any friendly support from either of them. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps I have held a peculiar position on another ground. I am, as you know, a member of • small, but somewhat remarkable religions sect—a religions body which had a re markable origin, and which in its early days at least had a somewhat remarkable history. Of all the religious sects which have appeared in the world, certainly since the corruption of the Christian church, it is that which of all others has most taught the equality and equal rights of men ; and I venture to say more, that it is remarkable for another thing, that probably more than any other body without its border, and in its service personal ambition is practically unknown. (Hear, hear.) I think that much of my opinion, and much of my course of life, has been determined, or at least greatly influenced, by the training I received in that body. Belief in the equality of all men in the sight of Heaven, and of the rights of all men before earthly governments, naturally leads to a strong sympathy with the great body of the people. (Loud cheers.) I look upon the multitude—the millions who form • nation, in the social rank they may be called of the lowly ; they labour more, they suffer more than the ranks above them; they have less of what we consider enjoyment of life; they have fewer of those compensations which give to us who are better off the many charms of life ; and I have learned from my earliest youth to feel for these men—(loud cheers) —to feel for them a sympathy which I have never been side to express in words, and which I can find no proper exhibition of in any outward conduct which I can manifest towards them. My belief is that the condition of this vast body of the people might be immensely improved and raised. I believe they might have less toil, more joy in their lives, and more of all that without which to persons in another state life would appear to be hardly worth the having. (Hear, hear.) Well, with this sympathy it was not wonderful that five and twenty years ago I should find myself called out into active political life. Many of you will recollect the state of this country from the year 183 K to the year 1: , 12, during the period of bad harvests, when starvation visited hun dreds and thousands of homes. Now I became convinced that the origin of that fearful suffering was the land owners' monopoly in the supply of food to the people. (Hear, hear.) In this beautiful address there is a reference ' to the services which you are kind enough to say I have rendered in conjunction with the illustrious and lamented Mr. Cobden. (Cheers.) This reminds me of an incident which had something to do with my ►fter career. In the year itioii;:iiiiW;si;;tl;;;(l7 And so exactly was that prophecy fulfilled, that if you will turn to the parliamentary books, you will find that from the year 18441 to this year in which I speak, more than four hundred million—l believe near five hundred million—pounds' worth of food, which the corn laws were intended to prohibit, has been imported into this coun try, and has been eaten upon the tables of the English poor—(cheers)—and, as you know, trade has so far extended within twenty years, that it has surpassed beyond all calculation its extension in the pre vious history of England. Mr. Bright then referred to the brood of evils—the monopoly in sugar, in shipping, and the import duties—which perished with the protec tion in corn. He dwelt especially on the impedimenta in the way of a cheap press which existed in the time of the 'Paper and the advertisement duties —and said there was not a single village in the I:nited Kingdom in which the average intelligence of the people has not been rained by the repeal of the taxes on newspapers. The government of India by a company he had opposed long before the Indian mutiny made the transfer of administration im perative, but the division of India into five or six inde pendent presidencies or states which he had urged as necessary to perpetuate order, when the time comes for the power of England to be withdrawn from India, bad still to besdopted. Turning to Ireland, the hon. gentleman showed that he had raised his voice on every fitting occasion against the Irish church establishment, and the mainte. nance of laws which are adverse to the national division of the land. Against the game laws, the punishment of death, the laws encouraging the injurious accumulation of land, he had constantly spoken; and he had urged the establishment of anational system of education, under local direction, and supported by local rates. The only thing which he regretted in the retrospect was the small success which had attended his efforts. The end which was now proposed by the electoral changes was not to destroy our insti tutions ; " it is not to change a dynasty ; it is not to seize the property of the rieh ; it is not to give to ignorance and to vice the disposition of great national affairs ; but it is to give power to parliament from that source from which its only power can be derived, so that parliament may have the power to remedy abuses which are acknowledged to exist on every hand in the departments and the legisla tion of the state." Parliament, as it is, cannot do more than spend additional money for the army and the navy ; our laws are in chaos ; the church and the land laws cannot be meddled with, and there is no man—not even Mr. Gladstone— who can prevail on the House of Commons to do anything substan tial to remedy the grievances of the Irish people. No man who will meet in the house next week can prevail on it to set itself resolutely and honestly to the consideration of any measures of amelioration and improvement which the peopla have a right to demand, and which nearly every man in parliament will admit call for its attention. The improvement of the representation was therefore necessary for every institution of the country as well as for the con tentment of the people. Mr. Bright concluded by ex pressing his gratitude for their kindness. You judge (he said) favourably of my services. I have not worked, as you know, for honours or the emoluments of office. I have striven for the substantial good of the millions of my countrymen, and I can rest content with the feeling that my country will do me justice. The hon. gentleman having spoken more than an hour sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. OR the motion of Alderman THOMAS ASHWORTH, seconded by Alderman E. L. Ahnwoirrii, and nipported by Mr. Councillor JOHN Prrem, it was resolved— That this meeting, regarding parliamentary reform as the political question of the day, thoroughly apposes of Mr. Might's course in reference to It, and assures him of Its hearty sympathy, and pledtsa itself to give him and his colleagues its earaset support until a good, honest, and substantial reform hill becomes the law of the laud. The usual vote of thanks was then given to the &sir !nen, and the proceedings terminated. FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. (From Le Fond.) We are just now in the season when our sub seam are the most anxious for ► description of evening costumes, and we are fortunately this month able to give them some very charming dresses es models. Many ball-dress materials are of great elegance. One of the principal, of a fancy description, is the embroidered silk tulle, the patterns of which are bouquet, of a lively shade of silk on white satin, producing a very rich effect. Satin is, par excellence, the material for full toilette, either for ceremonial visits or evening dress. Chambery gauze, striped or spotted in colours, or with satin stripes, as well as those quite plain, is very pretty, and especially suitable for young ladies. Those of gauze, embroidered with gold or silver, either in stars, spots, or dowers, are very fashionable. When simply striped with threads of gold and silver, they are, perhaps, the prettiest. With these the under-skirt should be always of plain gauze, or a trained skirt over white satin is still more elegant. Striped velvets are much in favour. Amber is ► very favourite colour for full dress, but of course it cannot be worn by ladies of a fair complexion. For walking costume black is still the favourite, though many toilettes of green or blue cloth, or of violet brown or English velvet, are seen. Although the short dress is still worn for morning pro menade, it is principally confined to quite young girls, and is scarcely admissible for visiting-dress. A very few have been seen for full dress, but we may say the trained skirt is almost indispensable. The short dress may be convenient for out of doors, but in the room it must be pronounced anything but graceful ; and, judging by the very few that have been as yet seen in the ball-room, we have no doubt they will not be at all generally adopted this winter. The make of dresses tends more and more to the " empire " style, the bodies being so short that the skirt is nearly close up to the arm. A great variety of trimmings are made for ball dresses. Rouleaux of satin are used for this purpose, as well as for trimming visiting dresses. Sometimes they are covered with white tulle spotted with gold or silver. Coquilles of gold lace are fashionable for trimmings; also satin ruches, ad or crystal fringes, Cluny with beads. With the four naiu skirts it is nearly impossible to visiting dress this is not admissible, very pretty little aunionieree are worn, really both ornamental and useful ; they may be made of a dif ferent material to the dress—many are of velvet. Opera cloaks of cashmere or satin bordered with swan's down are frequently beautifully embroidered in the ori ental style; they are made long at the back, but quite short in the front. Some are composed entire yof lace to match the peplum. There are chancing little Greek vestes made of satin, embroidered with gold and silver. Paletets and essaques are nearly all trimmed with fur. The peletot ruse. is entirely lined with fur, and up the openings at the back and sides, and up every seam, a very narrow fur band is placed. The bonnets worn for visiting-dress bays not altered in ahape since the commencement of the year, the artistic arrangements of the trimmings form the principal charm. Take, for example, some of the newest models. A meeting of delegates from the metropolitan parishes interested in the equalisation of the poor rate took plass yesterday evening, at the Landon Ocdf se-house, under the presidency or Mr. Wa. Whaler. The object of the meeting was " to take Mee conaideratien the homerooms of pressing on the government the necessity of speedy legal lotion on the subject." The following parishes—St. Saviour's, West Leaden, Feat London, Lambeth, Chelsea, Si. Mary Newington, Fulham Union, St. George Southwark, St. Mary Strat ford, Bermondsey, Itotherhithe, St. Olive's Southwark, St.,. George's-im th e.Esst, Strand Union, Wandsworth Union —representing a population of 794,916, and a rateable value of 2,874,826/. It was expected that ultimately the association would be supported by upwards of a million of the inhabitants of the metropolis. Mr. FowLea commenced the proceedings by reading the follow* report : " The committee, in presenting their ninth annual re port, congratulate their friends and supporters upon the moose which has attended their labours, and the steady advance and public recognition of the principles advocated by this association, as evidenced in the passing by the legislature of the Union Assessment and the Union Charge ability Bills, which are now in full operation throughout the whole of England and Wales. The association, while giving their full support to this just and equitable hange, felt assured that the principle must extend to thole large parishes which form unions in themselves, which are un touched by these enactments, and left in the same, if nut in a a worse state than they were under the old system. The committee always objected to the adoption of union rating as a final settleineut of the question • and while they gave their support to the Union Charge ability: Bill, as a step in the right direction, and admitting an important principle, they reserved to them selves the right of continuing the agitation until some plan for the effectual relief of these parishes had been adopted. Public attention is being called to the subject, and a very general movement is now being made in favour of the for mation of the whole of the metropolis into one district, for the purpose of raising the funds for the relief of the poor by an equalised rate. In the year 1858 this amnia- Lion brought this question prominently before the public, and a bill was introduced by the hon. members for the Tower Hamlets and the borough of Southwark for that purpose, but withdrawn on the second reading, upon the imegestioa of many country members, that it would be unjust to equalise the rates in the metropolis, and leave the other parts of England and Wales untouched, and who promised their support if ouch an extended measure was introduced. Another difficulty was the formation of any machinery by which such a rate could be collected. This, however, has beennowovercome, and the practicability has been proved, inasmuch ea the Metropolitan Board of Works now levy andlcollect a rate over the whole metropolitan area, for the relief of the houseless or casual poor, and the maintenance of the fire brigade. The committee now feel that the practicability being proved, and the justness of the principle admitted, the time Las Arrived when the question must receive from the legislature that attention and support that will tend to is ultimate development. They do not venture to propose any plan for carrying it eat. They think that having proved the evil as well as the injustice of the system, and having called public at tention to it, they should press upon the government the necessity of finding the remedy. In order to effect this they are now desirous of obtaining the renewed co-opera tion of the parochial authorities of the metropolis for that purpose, and they are making arrangements for holding an aggregate meeting of guardians, overseers, and vestrymen, for the purpose of a conference maths subject,and likewise for the appointment of additional members to the cum ! enittee. which, by the dilution of time, has become reduced 1 in number." _ The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, reminded the meeting that, although the bill which had been introduced by the association into parliament had failed, yet it had had the effect of calling attention to the subject, and a committee of inquiry had been appointed. The facts were indeed startling. Take, for example, his own pariah, Ken sington. 5,000 poor persons had been ejected from it and were now living in the poor parishes of Chelsea and Ful ham. In St. Bartholomew's Finsbury, the whole of the poor had been ejected by the ;railway, and in St. Clement Danes a similar result would soon follow through the building of the law courts. The rental would be increased by aboutso,oool. &year, whilst the poor would be banished over into Lambeth. St. George's, Ilanover-square, with a rateable value of two millions, paid scarcely any rate, athough it had a working population (of ser vants) of upwards of 4)0,000 persons. It was said that the richer districts, although not paying much to the poor rate, made up the difference by the liberality of their charitable contributions. But what were the facts? Re bad ascertained that if instead of all the recent donations for the relief of cholera patients, including the Bishop of London's fund, the money required had been raised by rate, a halfpenny rate would have produced the whole and 5,0001. over. A farthing rate would have provided a thou sand beds for cholera patients. The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. BLACHFORD, chairman of the Fulham union, se conded the motion. Mr. I'OLLINNON. from Southwark, explained the hard ships arising from the inequality of the rate in Southwark and other poorer pariahes. All the later alterations in the poor law, although good in themselves, had, be contended, Geir opersiital web _curfthvatet! the ;;„;,, or in•qnsiity. He believed that both Baines and Mr. Villiers had contemplated equalization, and that if it had not been for " that abominable Reform Bill "—(laughter)--they would have had a bill last session. " That bill was always poking its nose into the way of really useful measures." (Laughter.) Mr. GALLI( (Blackwell) said his parish was now most heavily rated in consequence of the influx of strangers to the huge worka. The pariah bad no means to support them, but yet was without power to remove them. Mr. BURI.TON (St. Saviour s) said the only proper remedy for the present state of things was a national rate. Mr.FOWLZR depreuated the introduction of the national. rate question into their diecussions. He believed that their policy was to stick to the metropolis. Mr. BONHAM (St. Clement Danes) stated that the pull ing down of houses in the adjacent parish for the law courts had sent such an in fl ux of poor into his parish as had raised their half-year's rate from eightpenoe to eighteenpence in the pound. He had not much confidence in the present Poor-law Board, whose object, be thought, was merely to keep matters as quiet as passible. He wished very much to see Mr. Villiers back again. (Cheers.) Mr. WAMMICH, vice-chairman of the London Union, said that an equal shilling rate would meet all the ordin necessities of the metropolis. The property tax would ary be a most fallacious test of value. Having been engaged during the last four years in assessing the City parishes, he had found many properties set down at WV. which he assessed for the poor rate at more than 1,0u0i., and there was no appeaL In some cases, where immense piles of buildings had been erected, only the ground-rent was assessed to the income tax. (Hear, hear.) The report was then agreed to. Resolutions declaring the absolute necessity of equalisa tion, and appanting a deputation to wait on the President of the Poor-law Board, were then agreed to, and the pro- ceediogs terminated. THE EAST LONDON RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the directors of this railway company, accompanied by the contractors, Messrs. Brassey and Waring, and several gen tlemen interested in the undertaking, paid an official visit to the works on the southern section of the line, be tween the shaft of the Thames Tunnel at Rotherhithe and the London, Brighton, and South Coast line et New-cross. The weather was most unfavourable, but the rain could not quench the enthusiasm of the Vill• tors, who, under the guidance of the engineer, Mr. Burke, made their way through mud and mire front tunnel to cutting, and from cutting to embankment. Considering the shortness of time the company has been incorporated the progress of the works is considerable. A large portion of the brickwork of the tunnel has been completed. For several hundred yards in the neigh bourhood of the Deptford-road station, where the hue is in an open cutting, the retaining walls have been for some time finished and the excavation perfected, so that that portion of the line is in fact ready for the per. rnanent way. The line on reaching the St. Helena Gar dens forks so as to form a double junction with the Brighton line. The embankment for one of these branches has been carried some distance over the Surrey Canal, and that for the other has been just brought up to it. About 60 yards of tunnel will make these works and the Thames Tunnel a continuous undertaking. The Rev. Sir LOVELACE STARER congratulated the meet ing on having passed the amendment, and moved, " That this conference having affirmed the principle of the rate payers being heard on the granting of licenses for the sale of intoxicating drinks, adjourns the consideration of the details of the resolution proposed by the executive for three week, from this day." The Rev. Dr. GARRETT seconded, but Mr. ETTEINTHAL observing that they had done more than establish the principle that the ratepayers should be heard on the subject of new licenses, but that they should re strain the granting of them, The Rev. Sir L. STARER altered the resolution by in serting after the word " ratepayers " the word " restrain ing" instead of " being heard on." Mr. MONTAGU (Nauman suggested that before they met again they should consider whether the restraining lamer proposed to be given to the ratepayers might not in itself be an evil through the ratepayers being subject to undue influences, and thus promote the very mischief they desired to prevent. After some further discussion, the resolution in its amended form was put and carried. The 1t.,. R. SOUS mid it was ortglnatti Intenlidd deputation should go from the conference to her Majesty's government to state the results of the conference, but it was now proposed to defer the appointment of that depu tation until the adjourned meeting, three weeks hence. Mr. LAWRENCE, of Liverpool, stated the details of the Liverpool bill, which is to be introduced in the ensuing session under the soapiests of tits joint committee of the town council and of the magistracy of that town. It pro vides that there shall be one charge for licenses beginning at 351. a-year for large towns, and a proportionate reduc tion for small towns and villages, with a reduction of 30 per cent. for houses whir& did not open on the Sunday ; that the magistrates shall be satisfied of the respectability of the •pplicant ; that the rateable value of the houses be increas d that • person intending to build a public-house shall give notice, and the inhabitants, by a vote of two thirds, may prevent the license being granted. That the houses shall not be open before 7 in the morning nor after 11 at night, and on Sundays from 1 to 3in the afternoon, and from Stolo in the evening. The penalties not to exceed 20f., the third fine causing also the loss of the license ; the town council however having the power to shut the houses on Sundays altogether. There was another provision authorising town councils in other towns to adopt the bill. The discussion was then adjourned until 7 o'clock. At 7 o'clock the conference re-msemtged, when Mr. M. BAKER took the chair, and after the reading of letters from Sir Stephen Glynn, the Lord-Lieutenant of Flint shire, Mr. French, the Chairman of the Local Board of Health at Sand/gate, and several others, expressive oftyrn pathy with the objects of the conference, The discussion on the Liverpool Licensing Bill was then resumed by . . . . . . . 11r. Srerwrsau., who said they were much indebted to the joint committee at Liverpool for the pains they bad taken to make the bill as perfect as possible. He disap proved of the provision granting an immunity for fourteen yearn to the present holders of licenses; he also disapproved of the permission to sell intoxicating liquors during four hours on the Sunday, and of the permission to grant dancing and music licenses. Among the good points he considered were those which provided that no new licenses should be granted if opposed by three-fourths of the owners and occupiers ; that the landlord should pro vide two sureties of 1001. each for his good conduct. He moved :—" That this conference approves of the gene ral scope of the new Liverpool Licensing Bill, inasmuch as it contains valuable elements of improvement, and embo dies principle, already sanctioned by this conference, and is so far entitled to its support ; but not approving of some of the details of the measure, such as allowing four hours for selling intoxicating liquors on the Sunday, and giving 14 yearn sure to persons at present holding licenses, it hopes that the said bill will be amended in that respect so as to command the support of the community at large." Dr. 'MARTIN, of Warrington, seconded the motion. He thought, however, that there should be no direct provi sion to prevent Sunday trading. He did not think the House of Commons would agree to that, for it had already burnt its fingers in attempting to legislate against Sunday trading. It would be better to make it a provision to be applied by the town council or local authority. It would at once be adopted in Liverpool, and the results would be such as to make the example followed by the rest of the country. Mr. 'Timm* disapproved so much of the bill as made it incumbent on the magistrates to grant a license if proved of by three-fourths of the inhabitant.. He would leave it in the power of the magistrates still to refuse. Mr. SMITH, of Tottenham, protested against many of the doctrines which had been laid down, and be charged the gentlemen on the platform with being ready enough to attack the retailer, while they let the great brewers alone. But if it were wrong to retail beer and epirits, it was wrung to manufacture the article. (Hear, hear.) He objected to restrictions being put on the trade, becalms he believed they would lead to the increase of drunkenness. Dr. Caeaerr thought that that conference out not to approve of the Liverpool Licensing Bill, which be looked upon as a bill of loose principles. He objected to that portion of the bill which increased the expense of the license, and required that the premises should be larger. The effect of that would be to prevent a poor man from opening a homely house for the accommodation of his poorer neighbours ; and though he shou id be glad if there were no such houses at all, yet if they slid express an approval of a bill, it ought to be a bill that would com mend itself to the reasonable judgment of the House of Commons and of the public press. He moved vs an amend ment :—" That this conference has lm aril with regret the provisions of the Liverpool bill respecting the sale of in toxicating liquors on the Sunday, and hereby records its opinion that it is both impolitic and unfair to give such a . liberty." Mr. WHMVELL seconded the amendment, but after some discussion in the course of which Mr. Conn.'. sug gested that some means should be adopted to punish adulteration, and Mr. S. Pore showed that there was already this power. expressed his general approval of the bill, and the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Sturows, machine maker, and who cam stated that he was a teetotal advocate, moved that the licensing power should be vested in the ratepayers sitting as a petty jury, votes to be hkeu by ballot ; the ULM) Daly to ban: in specting powers, and be compelled to do their duty. Mr. Pon submitted that the motion was out of order: and Mr. &meows withdrew it. Mr. LAWRENCY. then replied to the various criticisms cu the bill ; and Mr. STZINTIML having replied, the resolu tion was put and agreed to unanituonsly. The Rev. S. SULLY then stated that, at the request of Lord Lichfield and other friends of the movement, he hail consented to continue in his position honorary secre tary for the present, and that the vice•ppreaidenta would be called together on Saturday work, when they would detenuine when sod where the next conference would be held. A vote of thanks to the chairman for his conduct in the chair was thou agreed to, awl the proccodings terminated. THE CASE OF PERJURY BY A NEWSPAPER PRO PRILYon.—We much regret that an error occurred in our re port of this case, which was tried at the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday. Cannon, the defendant, was described as the proprietor of the South Lowl,” 'looted, instead of the South Lomion News, Mr. W. E. Baxter being the pro prietor of the Journal. ANOTHER FIR/ ON TH2 THAMEi EMBANKMENT. —At aLite hoar last evening the attention of the foot passengers was attracted to flames issuing from the works in connexion with the Thames ihnbanknieat, on the north aide of Waterloo-bridge. Near the foot of the bridge a wooden shed hail been erected, which was used by the workmen as a kind of mess-room. and it is supposed that at the termination of the daily labour the fire in it WAS left burning, the sparks from which occasioned the outbreak. At the time of the discovery the wind drifted the sparks in the direction of the Stamp and Inland Revenue-offices at Sonierset-house ; and such we. the alarm of the employai on duty there that before the arrival of the engines the hose belonging to the establishment was brought into play, and the water applied so as to protect that building. A number of hind steam and manual engines were soon in attendance, and their presence necessitated the complete blockade of the bridge for nearly an hour and a half. In its progress the fire destroyed the wooden bridge.leading to the steam-boat pier, in addition to the shed where it commenced, and other damage to the works ; but we learn that the contractors of the embank ment have undertaken to have sufficient accommodation ready by this morning, so that the steam-boat traffic shall not be impeded. The present is the third fire oa the Thames Embankment within a very short period. COLONIAL HAND-800/M, D7r.
