In the governor's speech, made at the 'extraordinary session of the legislature, he apologises for not being able to make up a full account of the financial condi tion of the Bohemia, but contents himself with a re mark, which to us appears to border on the ludicrous, namely, that while t h e pint-apple trade his unfortu nately been darkened, through the influence of the cholera in the Gaited States, yet he does not feel any uneasiness with regard to the state of the revenue!! The salt business had been prosperous during the sea son. A new lighthousewas to bo erected on Grand ley.

He said he would reply the vat day. The next day be was called es foe an answer, and be took the (Ibsen apart and told them that it was not true. as had been reported, that the bikes were takiag the iii dative of a denuastratios, sad, he added, tie, before acting, it would be beet to wait for the elsaiden ef the Assembly ; he further said that he would any elemisnuestion, as he considered it illegal.

On the lith. be mull ant oppose the demonstration, because he had not Wising loess ; but he would have defended the Maids if it had been atteekod. la answer to the seemed Gulaard, the witness said that he did net movable say of the prisoners u having been among the ar . tillerymies et the national guard who waited on Lim. Gmeard have said that it was usual in the legions for auni slues to be taken by the national guards on ierpormat politi sal osessions, in order to make known their sentim.sts. With respect to the Roman expedition, there was not a sin gle legion which did not disease the attitude that the national guard ought to aolume : and this win done sonteneonsly, and without plotting. If, he added, Schmitz. one of the ac cused, had signed a protest in the 6th legion, similar protests were Diluted In otter legion.. He begged of the jury not to kirget this remark.

The Procure or-General here read a letter written by the an cooed Submits to the 'waren*/ magistrate, in whim, he ad mitted having rigid- d over the 'muting in question, and that it was he who drew up the manifesto of the executive oommimion nominated by that legion. From some questions put to the witness Pellier, it ap peased that the bureau OT executive chosen at toe monies had really been appointed with the view to the election of a colonel of Vte 6th legion, but that the meting had com naeroed by discussing the Roman expedition, intending to take up the question of the election afterwards. The President then announced that whereoee would now be called to depose repeating the demonstration of the 13th Jane. ' Ravel, a wine-shopkeeper, Rue de Bondy, 14, deposed • that, en the morning of 13th June, several Judie duals, who were chinking in hie house, said This evening, the pre sident and ministers will be Outten at View' ones!

Fearing that there would he a disturbance, be took the Rue Bourbon Villeneuve, and proceeded towards the Rue de la Puis, wham he met the dragoons.

He saw one rod flag carried by the manifestation, on which was in swabbed " Les metiers combettans de Ferrier," but had not men the socialist emblem of the triangle. He met some in dividnahe with muskets is the Rae Femme Montmartre, arid heard cries of " Aux armor" sad, after hearing the die s/sup et musketry at the Co'neervat.ire des Arts et Metiers, saw CoL Forestier and seve ra l artillerymen with their cu bism. It was about half-peal three or four o'clock when he saw Col. Fortifier. In reply to a question from the privatise Delahaye, the witness said that he did not recognise among the prisoners say of the artillerymen whom he had seen, but that that saighe be accounted for by his having only sea their backs. M. Guillaume, a glovemmafacturer, residing in the Rue de Bendy, deposed in similar terms to preceding witnesses sate the assemblage at the Chateau d'Bau, and the ma ell of the manifestation.

U. Boa, one of the counsels for the prisoners, begged the! president to ask the witness whether he had not telt some surprise in seeing the police tacitly allow the assemblage to toks place. The President said he could not put each a question, as it was not one of fact. The prisoner °oilseed asked whether the witaem had ems any artillerymen with their arms in the mids: of the anni llamado& when it was is march.

Witness—Yes, a shot was fired from behind me, but I cannot tell by whom. I mold not see the farm of the ea tined guard who Insulted General Changernier. • The amused Guinard asked if that national guard bad not bees greedy ill-treated when alone, and disarmed in a crowd of armed men ? the witness said he had had his epaulettes torn off, but it was not by his men. Colonel Guyon, of the 2fid dragoons, deposed that he had token part with his regiment in clearing the boulevards. The sulamo6l4ll r. quired by law were duly male before the military acted. He beard several pistcl shots fir. d on the right and the left. The people cried to the soldiers that they were executioners—that they were engaged in a fra tricidal war—and that they were assassinating the people. Witness did not see a red flag. Goiaard Inked if any of the shots had taken effect. Witness said he thought not. Guinan observed teat the witness was the only one who had spoken of pistol shots. Wausau—Oh! if you want more witnesses, I will bricg you plenty. (Laughter.) 11. Tisserand, chef erescatiren in the geselanuerie mobile, assisted in clearing the Boulevards, and heard several pistol shots from the Rue Bosse du Reopen. Attempts to form buriesdos of chain and vehicles were made on the Boule vard Montmartre. At the Rote do Bonne Noun lie, on the boulevard of that name, Ins men were fired on, and they responded. On arriving in the Rue Vivienne, he saw a young man in a group of seven or eight persons , who cried Insolently " Vies la Montagne ! Vivent lee Romafas ! " Witness accordingly struck him several vi;orout blows with the flat of his sword, and he fell. (Movement on the bench of the accused.) The young man was afterwards arrested. M. Petit,. lieutenant of the gendarmerie deposed that he commanded a detsclimeut in the column of General Changarni. it. He took fart is cutting through the dt mon 'nation near the Rue de Is Pa.x. It was stow a roll from the drum and the legal summons, that the demonstration was attacked. The crowd. smoeg whom were national guards and representatives in their scarfs, at first dispersed, but afterwards part of them formed into ranks in g sod order, and advanced towards the troops. Forty or bite foam. men threw themselves on their hues, uncovered their breaett, and cried " Will you fire on your brethren ? Will you shed the blond of your brothers i " Without taking any none, of this tomfoolery, they charged with the bayonet. (Marks of indignation Irons the accused.) The people called them as- Sithl6l; but they were not assassins, and were rather die- poe-d to kink the rioters than use their bayonets. (Move ment.) The President asked if any soldiers had been injured. Witness replied that stones and chairs were thrown at them, which injured some of them, but not seriously. The amend Guinan here observed, that it was in con. segos nee of the attack on the els monstration that the repro *minting who ware in it went to the Palen National to claim hie protection, and that was the explanation of his conduct on the 13-h June. "We are not," be continued. with ani mation, " the getters up of civil war, as it is attempted to be shun, but the true defenders of the republic and the consti tution, fur which we ors ready to shed the last drop of our blood ! (The sensed indicated by their spatulas that they approved of whet M. Geneva said.) It was at thn =leant at which, in the free exercise of our rights as citizens, we eedeavoured to secure the respect of the constitution, that shameful acts of lindens were displayed towards peaceful and unarmed citizens; and in this respect you will have ob • served the words, unworthy of a French officer, which have fallen hem the witness. I know, for my puts young man, worthy of all consideration, to whom the humiliating Vest ment indicated by the witness was not displayed, for he was struck,not with the flat side, but with the edge of the sword !" The witness—" Alt, yes ! It was I myself who gave the blow." (General movement of iodigeation, sad violent murmurs on the benches of the accused ) Guinard—" You boast of it, sir. You boast of having struck a young man without arms, who had not even a rick in his hand, and you weer the epaulettes of an officer. You inflicted on that young man a serious wound, and if it had not been for his spectacles be would have loot his eye. I declare that such acts of violence are shameful ! and yet we, who made the revolution, and had the honour of being at the hoed of the public force, should have eonaidered ourselves dishonoured if such an act could be cited against us. We did not shed a drop of blood." The I'rocurenr General—" The sensed forgets, but the jury will not, that the men who pretended to defend the constitution attacked it in the most violent manner, endea voured to overthrow the regulatly constituted authorities and destroy the mej city elected by universal suffrage. These men attempted to legalise resistance, but no society would be possible if the government were at their mercy." M. Touret (an advocate)—" You forget that the fact that you used is precisely the quo stitdo to be decided by the trial. Prove, first of all, that the kneeling men who were struck by your gendarmes were conspirators. Until you do that, I tell you that they were free citizens, exercising their right+. Ought not French officers to have stopped before their uncovered breasts ? And yet there is one who, forgetting what the noble national uniform impose] on him, has had the sad and deplorable courage of bonne; of having plunged his sword into an uncovered breast. Alo, the man who could so act is unworthy to wear the French uniform !" The amused here rose, in a state of great ezeitereent, and loudly cried, " Yes, yes !" Bouts of them addressed violent reproaches to the witness, but what they said could not be distinguithed in the tumult. 11. Petit (the what»), turning towards the prisoners and their advocates, raised his arm, and making a disdainful gesture, cried, "You are all j— f—!" [This is one of the coarsest epithets in the French language.] "Not one of you dare to say that to me any when else !" At this a volley of venire rations arose from the benches la the sensed and of the advocates. All displayed the retested excitement. "It is shameful ' It is Daemons ! We an outraged ! Kill us, but do not insult us ! The trial is im possible!" were smug the cries marred. The tumult be came truly fearful, and in the tribunes and the jury the mgt. Cation was also extreme. The accused Biome, in a state of great exasperation, and mien g his papers cried : " Gendarmes, take me away ! I will not remain hers ! " Lourion.-1 came here voluntarily to be tried, but if I had known that I should be insulted, I would not have given myself up !" The Procureur-General —We have no intention of defend ing the words uttered by the witness; but we must say, &num It is the truth, that he was insulted In the gravest manner by one of the advocatee—told that he was unworthy to wear the French uniform! It was on that account that he had made use of the reprehensible expression. At the audience, yesterday, the accused nee in tumult; but each demonstrations cannot be allowed to be repeated. We de. mend that the accused who have taken pan is the tumult shall be *Remised from the audience in virtue of Art. 10 of ' the law of 1835. Then has been applause from the public tribunes; people forget that they are in the sanctuary of justice. We persist in our demand. The accused ?deign—Let us be taken at once to Mont fit. Michel. Batine—l will go ! I will not remain to be outraged soy loneer. (The gendarmes bogged him to be seated.) M. Tourrel—l do not accept the lesson of the Proeuromo General! We expected that. by a requlitios against the witness, the Proclaim-Genera would have caused the lame, of defence to be respected in our persons. Bet, as k• lasso done so, we, for the honour of the gown, are obliged abandon our friends and brothers ! We will demand of the nun to decide on the insult addressed to us, and Coo em the words suffered! The Proctiremr-General —We present in writing the demand we just made: we require that all the accused— for all took part in Use tumult—shall be removed from the court ! The accused with great violence—" Yes, all! all!" al. Dan, one of the advocat a, said that the insult made to the bar req ui red a reparation, but as the proeurear general, who had had the honour to wear the robe of the advocate, bad net defended them, he, for his part, should retire. (The learned gentleman then took his cap and withdrew.) The president here announced that the court would deli berate on what should be done. DuTing the absence of eke judges, the greatest excitement prevailed in the body of the court. The accused were greatly agitated and very noisy; the public formed themselves into groups, and earnestly dimmed the incident which had arisen, and the advocates were also much excited. Altoge ther the scene was one of the most extraordinary ever wit ness, d in a court of justice. After thus qsartvre of an hour's absence, the judges re turned, and the President read a decree, in which it was said that the advocate. M. Teurrel, had ou traged the witness Petit by his observation, ; that Petit had responded by a gross observation, contrary to the respect due to justice, to the accused, and to the advocates; that the mused had die teethed the dignity of the audience by their demean, but that it was important for the interest of justice that they @Mall not he expulsed ; the court accordingly held that there were error on all sides, but that they were not of stick a nature as to call for any other measure than a severe re probation; and therefore it ordered the trial to proceed. The sitting was then brought to an end amidst great agi tation, but no exclamations were uttered, either by the pub lie or the seemed.

THE VACANT SEE OF LLANDAFF. A meeting took place yesterday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, which was convened by gentlemen belonging to the principality, with a view to an expreuien of opinion in gavotte of the appointment of a Welsh clergy man to the vacant see of Llandaff. The subject wee one which derives additional interest from the fact that the de ceased prelate, not long before his death, refused to institute a clergyman who bad been appointed to a living in his diocese by the Lard Chancellor, on the expreu ground that he was not acquainted with the Welsh language, and that although the clergywan offered to learn, and actually com menced learning, the native tongue, the refusal was per risied in. The choir was taken about half past seven by Mr. Barer. Law SIZXCE. The sitting was addressed by Mr. G.MCWr, Mr. Owen Rowland, Dr. Evans . Mr. Meredith, Mr. Wm. Thomas, the Rev. R. Janis, the Rev. M. Davis, the Rev. Charles Phil lips, Mr. James, and other gentlemen. It was stated that since the Rouse of Brunswick had reigned in this country no Welshman had ever been promoted to a Welsh bishopric, the effect of which was that thousands had been driven out of the church, and had j in. d the ranks of the dissenters. Wales had a national tight to a Welsh hishep,and their only plan was to demand such an appointment at the hands of the premier. the present system was destructive &Ike to the people of Wales and to the church itself. Resolutions which tamed the deeireableneu of the appointment of a native of Wales to the vacant see having been adopted, a memorial to that effect was drawn up for presentation to Lord John Russell. A committee was appointed for the purpose of waiting upon his lordship, to ascertain his views upon the matter. THE SEWER ACCIDENT IN PIMLICO. ADJOURNED INQUEST. The inquiet on the bodies of the five men who recently lost their livea in the sewer in Kenilworth-street. Pimlicd, was resumed at two o'clock yesterday, at the Cia rendon Tavern. The first witness examined was Mr. John Phillips, chief surveyor to the Metropolitan Commission. He said : I live at No. 9, Priory-road, Wandsworth rod. I am chief surveyor to the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers. With respect to the sower in question, it was built by Mr. Cubitt, in January, 1848. I did not see it at that time. I believe that directions were given previously by the commission as to how it was to be bait. It was built under the regulations extant at that time. They are printed and give directions as to the also. f.:rm, and material of sewer. Mr. Cubitt was suoplied with those printed direc tions. The witness then read the petition of fhos. Cubitt, for leave to build the sewer in Warwick-street, in which petition be binds himself to build the sewer according to the printed regulations. The work was superintended by the commiseionen' officer, but I (Mr. Phillips) did cot see any part of it built. So far as the works have gone, the printed regulations have been complied with. The sewer is not yet completed. I have recently inspected that part of the sewer in which the accident took place. I made a report to the commissioners yesterday of the result of my inveitigat on. The sewer consists of brick work 9 inches thick, 4 feet high, by 2 feet 6 inches wide in the clear. It is nearly on a dead level. I am informed that it was closed up at the end, but did not see it my self until after it had been opened. I believe it bad been built up. That would cause it to unless there was • sufficient supply of water to carry it to the main sewer, to which there is a slight inclination. The deposit found in the sewer could not have been the result of house drainage, seeing that as yet there are only three houses in the street (Henilworth street). The wall would no doubt toad te awe an accumulation in the sewer at that end. I mnseint for the accumulation by the fact of the sewer being a deed level. There are two gully boles into the sewer in Warwick-street. They are about 400 feet from the wall at the end. There were, in faze, no means of ventilating the slower. Coroner—There was then no attempt made to ventilate the sewer previous to the accident ? Witaess—The sewer is not yet completed. Oftssiner—Do those facts, the sewer being blocked up, there being no air-holes, and the deposit in the sewer from bash current, account sufficiently for the generation of the penmen pa ? Whaess—No ; the deposits from house drainage were not snificient to account for the gas. The deposit consisted of earthy matter, sand, filth, and water, quite diff from house sewage. I can account for the foulness of the drain. Immediately after the accident I examined the sewer, feeling seeding that the house deposits had not been sufficient to ems the mischief. Close to where the men were found dead I found • layer of lime that had, I presumed, been need at a gas factory for the purpose of purifying gas, which I believe is an unusual thing to be found in • sewer. It was about six inches in depth, and extended through the whole of the open portion. I never knew such a material to be put M a sewer, or near • sewer, before. I was curious to know what it consisted of, so I got a piece which had been thrown up, and smelt very badly, and I found a precisely similar smell as at the head of the sewer. I procured a bottle of the fluid from the sewer and took it to Dr. Ure for analysis. I wanted to see whether the constituents of the solid and arid matter were the same. The accumulation was ia a semi-fluid state, an was to the depth of about • foot in the sewer. I felt convinced at the time that its presence was the canes of the gas, and the deaths. I con cluded that the surfaces water, passing through the lime, had caused the generation of the poisonous gas, and conse quently the accident. I have been in many sewers all over the metropolis, constructed similarly to this, and often very full of depoeit, and in num except this were these emana tions dangerous to life. I often found the atmosphere very elate, but certainly not immediately dangerous to health. In such calm I always took • Davy lamp with me and a smell ' hag bottle, but no other precaution. I believe that there is no sewer in London immediately dangerous to life. I have frequently passed through them sad stirred up the deposit, wiilt my feet. I have passed through miles of sewers and never found a sufficient accumulation of poisonous vapour to be immediately dangerous to life. Mr. Phillips then put in, and the coroner read, the printed regulations for the construction of sewers. After • few unimportant questions, Mr. Phillips pro posed to read as part of his evidence the report which ap peared in our paper of yesterday worming. The Coroner objected to the resoling of the document as not being legal evidence. After a short dierimaion, Mr. Phillips was permitted to read his report, fa which see E s of yesterday. i rr e . l Phi pps, bevies finished median his report, pro ceeded—l am of opinion that if the same deleterious rubbish be allowed to remain in the sewer, the Sian consequences will be likely to occur again. In answer to further questions, Mr. Phillips gave his opinion that bone drainage should be carried on in all large towns in pipes, so constructed as to prevent percolation. No drainage could be effectual without it was made general, and so arranged as to carry away the sewage completely and at once. Rethought it could be very molly done, and bad pre pared • plan for the arpse. Severel questioas were asked by one of the jurors, in answer to which Mr. Phillips stated that he had bees chief officer under the Westminster Commission, and had submitted a plan for egg-shaped sewers, bat bad not until lately coma to the conclusion that impermeable pipes were necessary. That plan suggested itself to him in Jedy last. Juror—Have there not more new lights occurred to yin since this accident ? Is it not the trr.th that since it mewed mien have been given to ventil•ste all the head sewers in London ? lam not aware of suy such radius having been given. I gave none myself. I believe that the principal portion of the gas in the sewers gets in from the gas PiPm• Crossuzamined by Kr. Cubitt's solicitor, Mr. Hopwood. The seven in this distriM are not worse than In others; on the contrary, they are better. There is an objection on to emit of leveL Is answer to Kr. Cubitt, Mr. Phillips stated that the bot toms of the sewers were is a perfect state of repair, and built according to the olden of the commissioner. Kr. Cabitt—)a then not an :simulation of soil in them ? Me. Cubitt—And ought they not to be clean ? —lt is Ma pinelble, in conarquesite of their being nearly on a level. Mr. Cablit—Aad yet they are confessed to be under the complete control of the commissioners. If I wanted to get fa, I could not, and 143 isonsaquence of the new gyres' of Busking, the dirt is tarried from one part to soother, and there al lowed to accumulate. The old commissioners would have sent carts sad taken ell the sewage aw. y. If the com tulteloten had kept the meta! clean en th. y ought have done, there woulo knot been no aoeumnialion, and wow qcently the men when they fell would not have been stitot:Mmid in the mad. Now, Mr. Phillire, have not the greater poren of the semen in the metropolis as little fall at thous in this neighbourhood ?—Yes. Mr. Cubitt—Might they not have boon constructed with a greater fall ? Mr. Phillips—ln some cases they might. Mr. Cabitt—lt appears that one of the deetased moons was suffocated, in c .nsequence of his head having been buried in the soil. Could that have happened if the sewer had been kept clean by the commissioners ?—Certainly not. The next wham examined was Dr. Ure—My name is Andrew Um, and I live at 24, Bloomsbury-square. I am a doctor of medicine, and am sow chiefly employed as an analytical chemist. I produce a piece of gas lime, which I pinned up from the shelmitig side of a trench recently dug in this neighbourhood. The trench is dug down to the crown of the arch of the sewer in War srickotreet. I produce also some of the deposit, which Mr. Phillips brought to my house. It his undergone the change which comlunatiens of sulphur suffer en exposure to the air. It has become white, but was green. It will much shorten my evident* if Ibe allowed to read my report, and I can answer any questions after. The witness then proceeded to read the report, which was published in yesterdays rpm Dr. Ure then produced specimens of the fluid and the lime. The smell was so offensive as seriously to affect every person in the room. _ _ _ MEETING AT DENBIGH. On Wednesday evening en exceedingly numerous ineeil.te was held In the Assembly H-ow, Denbigh, for the purpoes of reeeiving • deputation from the National Finan cial and Perliamentay Reform Amnesties, and hearing from it pa:tithing relative en the two great questions which are now agitaiing and causing so mutt:: interest theme/hod the country. The deputateti aneounced was to hen* cone slated of George Thompson, El., M.P., J..hn Will' me E5q.,111.P., and H. T. Atkinsor, Eq. The two first tilted g , ntlemen were, however, unavoidable .beat. Mr. Thomp son in corstquence of not being able to reach Denbigh in time, having been agitating the question at Aberdeen; and Mr. Williams having been called upon by his constituents et Macclesfield to preside at a public meatier. Mr. Atkin sou, however, was present. Many of the most iefisential g. stamen of the locality were present. Mr. SHEPHERD, the senior churchwarden, was called upon to preside, and shortly introduced Mr. Atkinson to the audience. Mr. ATKINSON said he felt, although called upon to ado dress an audience differing in many respects from the gene rality of those which he had addressed in the south, that a pleasing duty had devolved upon him, in having to address the men of a country whose historic al associations, at all events ' were connected with freedom, and with the rruggles made for freedom's caller. (Cheers) The duty which he had to discharge was one of a most important character, bat one which would be easily performed if he had thee which he was sure he should have, the patient attention of those to whom he had the honour then to speak. It became his duty, as honorary street ry of the• National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, shortly and simply to tell them the origin, mouvoe, and policy of the body with which he had the honour to be connected, IA order that they might be satisfied that the reforms sought to be effected were, in the tint Ore, useful, and next, that they were practicable. Mr. Atkinson then gave a detailed history of the society. After which he went on to say that with respect to the representation, from a parliamentary return they found that most absurd and unjust state of thiep existing. Thetford, in Norfolk, a place which bore the Wi rers of etageatitto and ruin upon its tacv,with 214 voters, re turned two members to the House of Cummous, and to re turn these there was a population, teking men, women and children together, of but 3,844. Now, by the same return, Denbigh, with its three contributory berourbs, had 862 voters ; so that, while Thetford, with 214 voten and 3,844 inhabitants, returned two members, Denbigh, and the bo roughs associated with it, r rah:acing 862 voters sni a popu lation of 15,388, returned but one mem'ser. (Owen, and cries of " shame!") And would pat the injariousaess of this state of things to them in this way : suppos ing some great (pantile arose out of which the county of Denbigh might have to be taxed, here would be there on' m' miser with that Inge con stituency to be over-vata d by Taethrd, with its insignificant p potation. (Cheers.) This was an illiveration of the principle, but there were hundreds of cases that remained behind. The last and more difficult question with which they had to deal was the abolitim of the qualification douse for members of parliament. On cetning the house, after his return, each member had to prove his qualifimion at the bar, 6001, or lawd to that value, being the qualification for a county, and 3001 , or persons! property to that amount, for a borough member. Now the matter woe messaged in this way. Suppose he should have the honour to be returned for Denbigh, and had not • shilling in the world ; he would go to some friend more fortunately 'fluent then himself, and say, " Have the goodness to fur nish me with exchtquer bills though for the amount, for about an hour ;" he then walked up to the table of the house, put down the qualification ; no questions were asked ; he returned the bills to his friend, and he was then hold to have fulfilled the property qualification clam*. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) This was done repeatedly. Now, if the property qualification was good as applied to England, why was it not so in Scotland ? And why, he should like to ask, should not Wales—Wales, proverbial for her honesty —(loud cheers)—be exempted? Why should it be said of her—" We cannot boot you, because you Welshmen would set up some man of straw, some moral ruffian, and put him in the House of Commons " (Prolonged cheers.) Was it true, eithtr, as regarded Englaud 1 (Hear.) Wee there a man amongst them WhO belonged to a benefit society who would like to elect a ruffian to the managenseit of its funds? (Cheers.) The thing was absurd. (Applause.) He had told them the parliament, by the new association, was to be used as a means to an end. There was one great euhject which touched eve ry man with regard to the reform of the House of Co omens, the breeches-packet question. A man might be as cold as a aortic statue to any- Haug like an appeal to liberty, but tell him that out of his earnings he was pitting 90 per cent. more than he ought to do, and he directly wanted to know how that abuse was to be remedied. (Cheers and laughter.) Our system of teza tion was a very curious, and, at the some time, a very in structive system. if they would only let an abuse alone, it was like some of those small insect. which they saw—it im mediately began to swum—(laughter)—but if they troubled the ahuse, if they made the part uneasy and caused irrita tion, the abuse might be dispersed ; but the history of the abuses of this country had been one of continual increase in ' the sums leviable from the people. Let them next glance at the snidest increase of xpenditure which had been going on for a eerie* of years, and it was always best in such cases to give figurer, rather than deal in declamation, In the reign of George the First the expenditure was 2,583,0001. ;in the ign of George the &coed, 2,766,0001. • George the Third, 7,676,1001.; Gorse the Fourth, 21,65 0,7901.' In the reign of Willieln the Fourth, a time of re reachment and economy, it had de creased from 21,000,0001. odd to 15,908,1121. ; but in the present reign of Victoria—and of the Queen there was only one feeling of respect and admiratiun towards her who poesessed the virtues of • wile, the affections of a mother, and who discharged her high duties in a manner to generally satisfactory—(applause, and boisterous cheers for the Queen)—these were the reasons which made it more necessary that they should lop off those 'bust s which tended to weaken or remove the respect and affections of her people— and yet, from the 15,000,0001. of taxation in the prec ding reign, we had got it up at the present time to 26,361.4171. (Cheers, and cries of " Shame. ') Now, the expenses of col lecting these taxes were 4,727,4551., an amount, within a few thousand pounds. of the cost fur the government of America. (Lous! cheers.) In addition to that, from the labour of this country—for it could be from no other source-70,000,000 1 . were raised annually; and it was a singular fact that, locking at the twelve years' proreiqd peace, the expenditure of the country had increased ten millions of pounds. (Applause.) What were the items of this increase ? Pensions, 5,0001. a year—not a very great sum certainly, when it was consi dered that they had been bestowed principal!! upon decayed artists and men of d mer it ; salaries, 93,0001.; courts of jus , time, 616,0001. ; the Irish distress—and who so generous as an Englishman, who se lavish, if you once touched the spring of his sympathy, and lifted him a little in his own opinion— the amount of this item was 1,500,0001., out of the labour of Englishmen. He did not grudge Ireland one farthing of this; but if they were lavish to Ireland, let them he just to England. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Give to the stal wart independent labourer of England theta. ante by which he could exert himself; give him the liberty to use his right arm, and be would tell them • tale that should astonish them. (Chews.) The last ad most formidable item was the army, navy, and ordnance; and here there was an increase of no less than the enormous sum of six million pounds. Mr. Atkinson concluded by an appeal to the working and middle classes for support. Mr. 0. OftIFFITHB, an extionive landowner, asked in what way it was contemplated to apply the surplus which might result from the reductions poin ted out; was it to be in a way beneficial to the rural districts? because upon this, and this alone,depcnded their (the rural districts') coopera tion. (Applause.) Mr. ATKINSON, at some length, replied, to the effect that the detailed workings relative to suck matters as those alluded to would be disposed of as the wisdom of such a House of Commons as their plan would have the effect of securing for them should advise best. Mr. DARBY, of Brombrough Hall, the employer of a gnat number of workmen, came forward to propose a reso lution, and delivered a speech of considerable length.. The resolution pledged the meeting to use its best exertions to obtain a reform in the abuses which bad been so powerfully pointed out by Mr. Atkinson. Mr. R. C. RAWLINS, of Wrexham, seconded the reso lution ; and instanced the reckless and ruinous expenditure in our army navy, and ordnance departments. Mr. GRIFFITHS then, at very considerable length, at tempted to show that if the association carried into effect the objects which it aimed at, it would be the manufactusing end trading interests which would be benefit. d, to the dis paragement of the rural and agricultural districts. The audience for a full hour (says the reporter) listened quietly and respectfully; but at length the statements made, and false deducuons drawn from facto, booms so ar°B ' l7 •hih local i which t he respect n w tehittlasnatdinagll the was exhausted. and the 'll7l "a th wbli e great in fl uents he Pinwale in th e Mamie. Mr. ATKINSON shortly replied. and refuted his owpo• nest's arguments. The audience became much excited, hooted down. iaP a wP•ak n ash tl e th aldbs's e r'ol reso utel l y nticn was carried by deafening acclamations, there being but two diesentients—Mr. Griffiths and his friend. Mr. SMITH (editor of the Cameroon Hens/d) wished the people to hear in mind one fact—namely, the cause of their having assembled that evening. The circumstances wnich called them together had not invited them to form themselves into a legidative assembly, to deliberate how, if there should be a surplus in consequence of taxes repealed, such surplus was to be disposed of—then were circumstances which Ms. Atkinson, no doubt, had pur posely refrained teem enterieg into; and very properly so too; foe the effect of it would have been to have split them up into mere segments. Let them hav e e • reformed parliament first, and all things needful w follow.

Foreman—Well, Dotter, I do not mean to argue chemistry with you. Dr. Ure—As much as you like. (A laugh.) Foreman—No ; I wish to ask merely a few mechanical questions. How near were you to the hole when you picked up the lime ? Quite close—you did not want me to go b down into the hole. (A laugh.) The Foreman was proceeding to put other questions when the coroner interfered and put an end to this hue of examina tion as irrelevant. A most desultory conversation ensue', the foreman wishing to continue hie questions, while the other members of the jury expressed themselves satisfied with Dr. tire's statement. The coroner at last proposed that they should hear Dr. Um out, and then have another analysis made if they were not satisfied. The witness expressed him self ready to answer any questions, and proceeded to explain in detail the statement he bad made in his report. Sever .1 out stions were inked by the foreman of the jury and others, but nothing important or in any degree varying from the report which was elicited. In &name •to one of the nuestioos he stated that he did not think the lime water would stain the mortar through which it percolated. Croorelamined by Mr. Hopwood—What is your opinion as to the eons* of the death of these pool men ? Dr. Ure—l think they died from inhaling sulphuretted hydrogen ; but I think there was also prussic acid present. Mr. Hopwood—Do you think prussic acid was one of the causes? Both were present, and no man could tell which win the more potent egent in producing death. Mr. Hopwood —When you state that this sulphuretted hydrogen was so powerful, have you any doubt as to its having killed these men ? I think that in combination with prattle acid it produced death. Mr. Hopwood—ls not sulphuretted hydrogen a common product of sewers ? Dr. Ure—Them is always a little which comes from animal exuvia, but there was, singularly, little of th it in the sewage matter sent to me for analysis. There was some odour of urine, but none of feculent matter. Mr. Hopwood—You attribute these deaths, then, to sulphuretted hydrogen, and consider that it was present in the sewer In extra intensi , y, in consequence of the super Incumbency of lime waste ?—Certainly. Some time was occupied in a further examination by Mr. Hopwood, for the purpose of ascertaining the chemical corponents of lime waste. but it dldsnot app ar to add much to the information of the jury. We understood the drift V the examiner to be an attempt to elicit the fact that waste Inn, in the position described was not likely to have emitted out phonated hydrogen downwards into the sewer, but •hat the latter must ham been generated into the sewer itself from the ordinary accumulations. The witness's answers were deci dedly oppose 1 to this hypothesis. SJOIO questions were also asked respecting the potency of prussic acid, which the witness offered to prove by holding a phial of it to the nose of any juryman, promising him that he would faint immediately end drop down. The experi ment was universally declined. Oa the conclus'on of Dr. tire's examination, Mr. Hopwood stated that the 'twee* matter had been that day analysed by Dr. Miller and Professor Graham, and that they had found in it nothing of the kind described by Dr. Ure. Dr. Um stated that matter taken from the sewer on Fri day would not exhibit the same phenomena as that taken out at first. A Juror—Do you think that if these sewers had been ventilated, such concentrations of gas could take place 1— , Certainly not. I have suggested a most simple plan by which complete ventilation might be effected. I propose to do it by means of taus similar to those used in blast fur naces. At the close of this witness's evidence the ioquiry was ad. journed to 11 on Monday next, an examination of the locality to be made in the meantime to ascertain the exact mot in which the bodies were found, and whether it was identical with that from which the experimental matter had been atm. MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY.-FUNGUS AND CHOLERA. A large meeting of this society took place Wednesday last, in consequence of the pr. silent, Groans BUSK, Esq., having signified his intention of making so me remarks on the recent announcement of the discovery of a fungus as the cause of cholera. In commencing his remarks, Mr. BUSK stated that he should confioe his attention to the papers of Dr. William Budd, Dr. Britten, and Dr. Sways., each of whom had written pipers and given drawings of bodies which they supposed to be fungi. In the first place, he remarked that amongst the varied bodies figured by these gentlemen, therm was only one set that bore so close a resemblance to each other as to claim anything like a common character. With regard to the figured bodies from air and water, they were not definite enough to yield any possibility of clu-ing them with one body or another. With regard to the more definite hither figured by Drs. Budd, Britten and Swayne, and found in their preparations, he had with one exception found these in the matter passed by cholera patients on board the Dread nought. These bodies, which were described as fungi, were of three different kinds. First, there existed a celluthibody, which was more particularly figured by . Dr. Swayne, and existed in two of his preparations, one in the possession of Dr. Lankester, and the other in his own, which evidently ex hibited the characters of the spore of a uredo, and on examen Mg some specimens of uredo from a loaf of bread bought at a baker's, it was found to correspond precisely with the spore from the cholera patient. As this species of fungus was very common in bread that had been kept, and easily resisted the digestive action of the stomach, the presence of it iu a few cases was well accouotel fur. The second class of bodies, and which under a high magnifying power with a bad light, looked exceeding like the last, consisted of small portions of the inner membrane of the grain of wheat. In the coarser kinds of flour this membrane was not separated, and he had no doubt that these bodies were introduced with the bread eaten as food. A third form of these mere definite bodies was evidently due to the presence of undigested starch granules. Drawings of all these bodies were exhibited. and their strong resemblance to the bodies figured by the Bris tol observers was at once recognised. In conclusion, the author stated that he did not wish to pronounce an opinion that the existence of a vegetable organism, as the cause of cholera, was impossible ; but from the observations he had now laid before the society, he considered that such • cause for the production of cholera bad certainly not yet been demon strated. Mr. C. WOODWARD, of Islington, said that he believed that things which persons took into their stomachs might Produce some of the appearances described by Drs. Britten and others. Mr. Topping had shown him, under the micro scope, the ordinary chalk mixture, sad the appearance pre sented by this substance was precisely similar to some of the things flamed In the drawings from Bristol. Mr. VARLET, In support of the probability of the truth of the fungoid theo, gave an account of the rapid development of fungi in th e bodies of flies ; and exhibied drawings of the sun. Dr. LANHESTEtt said that he did not think the sup porters, or rather reproducers of the fungoid theory would have thought their observations sufficient to warrant their conclusions, if there had not already existed the hypothesis of the fungous origin of cholera. From the first time he had seen the drawings of Dr. Britten, he had doubted the correctness of the oonclusions of Dr. Badd and the soles quest advocate of the fungous theory. In the published drawings of Dn. Britten, Budd, and Swayne, many things had been evidently confounded under the common term fun gus. Inorganic, as well as organic, bodies of various kinds could be easily identified. He had at first failed to detect any bodies resembliog fungi at all, but in the prepwation he had received from Dr. Swayne he recognised the spore of a undo, as had been described by Dr. Bath. He had ob tained the same appearances as exhibited in some portions substanceome to of Mr. Swayne's peepsrations, and the drawings of Dr. Brit- A su an n , I f y ro th m e ma gru t e ei l lals ethe r th w e as ph a en n o o m t e tlikdeeic ribcd.
