SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The thirty-fifth annual Passion-week performance of the Meaialt by this society took place last night ; the principal solo vocalists being Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Sainton•Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Santley. The excellence of such a performance—with all the resources of the gigantic chorus and splendid band of this society conducted by Mr. Costa—is too well known by frequent repetitions to need any fresh eulogium. Most important features were the co-operation of two such artists as Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Bentley, each unrivalled in the delivery of Handel's great declamatory solos. The opening recitative and air, " Comfort ye my people " and " Every valley," were given by Mr. Sims Reeves with true religious fervour ; his subsequent airs, "Behold and see " and " But thou didit not leave," being characterised by an intense yet subdued pathos belonging to the highest order of religious musical expression. In the more demonstrative air, " Thou shalt break them," Mr. Reeves was energetic without exaggera tion, and foreible without effort—in sheet, his entire per formance was is his beet style, rid that is a style in which, In &With oratorio, he stands alone. Mr. &Miff, too, in his great air, " The people that walked in darkneu,"—that grand musical picture of shadow and gloom—and in the bravura air, " Why do the nations," sang with the finished refinement of the best Italian vocalisation and the emphatic phrasing of an elocutionary artist. Madame Sainton-Dolby's expressive reading of the contralto solos in the Messiah is also an important adjunct to the general effect of the work. In " He shall feed kis flock," and " He was despised," this lady made as deep an impression as usual. Madame Ru dersdorff, too, was as earnest and as energetic as ever, and g►ve her principal airs with great effect, especially the bravura song, "Rejoice greatly." The noble chorused of this sublime work were as impressive as such music ever must be, however familiar, especially when given with such resources as those of the Sacred Harmonic society. The extreme pianissimo which Mr. Costa has succeeded in obtaining from such a numerous chorus, at the commencement of " For unto us," contrasting so admirably with the avalanche of sound in the word " Wonderful," is an instance of the results to be arrived at by a skilful and energetic oonductor. The " Hallelujah" chorus, too, with its marvellous combination of sim plicity and science, produced the usual effect of mingled delight and awe. In short, the whole performance was of that excellence to which we are accustomed at the con certs of the Sacred Harmonic Society. The oratorio Lto be repeated to-morrow (Friday) week. THE FESTIVALS OF THE Tickle CHUTES.—The preliminary arrangements for the great provincial music meeting, which will be held this year at Hereford, are in a forward state. A full complement of 60 stewards has been secured, among whom are Lord Bateman (President), Earl Somers, Viscount Hereford, Lord Soya and Selo, Mr. P. S. Wyndham , Sir H. Croft, Sir V. Cornwall, Sir W. Milman, Sir W. Curtis, Rev. Sir C. Franklsnd Sir J. B. Bailey, M.P., and all the local M.P.'s. The patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Prin cess of Wales, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam. bridge has been graciously accorded, and the meeting will be held under very favourable auspices, under the conduct of Mr. G. Townshend Smith, the able and zealous conduo tor of the Hereford festivals. The engagements of prin cipals of course are not yet completed, but it has been decided to increase the chorus by one fourth. EXETER HALL. —The Mexliali will be performed this evening by the National Choral Society (minding • band and chorus of 700), conducted by Mr. G. W. Martin. The solo parts will be sung by Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Palmer, Mr. Kerr Cadge , and Mr. Lewis Thomas. Drama. HAYMARKET. Mrs. Scott-Siddons took her benefit at this house last night, although her engagement will not terminate until Tuesday next, the 23rd inst., and in addition to per forming Rosalind in A. You Like It, she represented Juliet in the first and third scenes (the scene with Friar Law rence and the potion scene) in the fourth act of Romeo and Juliet. Her tragic power, as far as can be judged by these fragments, is far leas striking than her comic power ; her voice is not so pleasant under the necessary strain of tragedy, and the force of her facial expression is chiefly confined to the upper part of the lace. The audience was a friendly one. THE NEW BISHOP 07 ROCHESTER. —The Rev. T. L. Claughton, who has been nominated by the crown to the bishopric of Rochester, rendered vacant by the death of Dr. IVigmm, was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, where he took his B.A. degree in 1831, being first class in classics. He bad previously (in 18281 gained a prize for Latin verse, his subject being " Machin& VI Va poris Impulsie." In 1829 he pined "The Newdegate," his subject being " Voyages of Discovery to the Polar Regions." In 1832 be gained the Chancellor's prize for • Latin poem, "De Stoker= Discipline." In 1834 he was ordained, and, having served some minor offices in the church, he was presented by Lord Ward (now Earl of Dudley) to the vicarage of Kidderminster, which he ben held up to the present time. In 1842 he succeeded Arch deacon Gsrhett in the Professorship of Poetry in the Uni versity of Oxford, which be held during five years, not having been re-elected at the expiration of that term. He is married to a sister of the Earl of Dudley. By the pre ferment of Mr. Claughton the crown will claim the next nomination to the vicarage of Kidderminster.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (nurse's =rows.) THE ALLEGED PRUSSIAN ARMAMENTS. BERLIN, APRIL IT. _ _ _ An official declaration has been published here with regard to various rumours current Ss to Prussian armaments. The declaration states that with the exception of the increased organisation in the line and landwehr begun last autumn and now completed, rendered necessary by the new acquisitions of territory, no special military measures have been at present adopted. The Rhenish fortresses are not yet armed. No unusual demands have been made upon the are-arm factories. The stock of needle-guns in the depots was already sufficient to furnish the arms required without further expenditure. THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION . PARIS, Aran, 17. The Constitutionne/ of this evening says :—" We learn from a reliable source that the government of the Netherlands, wishing once more to cenfirra.the fact that no connection exists between it and the government of the Grand Duchy of LuxenSurg, and that Holland and Luxemburg form two states, with two perfectly distinct governments, has ordered its diplomatic agents to refrain henceforth from taking any part in the affairs of the Grand Duchy, and from all interference in anything re lating to the interests of the inhabitants of that country." BERLIN, APRIL 17, EVENING. All the recent statements in Continental journals of diplomatic declarations having been made by the Governments of France and Prussia, respecting the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, are semi-officially de clared to be without foundation. No diplomatic communications whatever have recently been ex changed on the Luxemburg question, and the affair is at present completely at a standstill. ITALY. FLORENCE, APRIL 17. Signor Ferrara, the Minister of Finance, is busily engaged in drawing up a financial project. All the rumours current in this city of his intended resignation are unfounded. FRANCE. (110 NE 00/1 OWN CORBEESPONDLIT.) PARIS, TOZSDAT EVIKINO. A curious story of the great revolution has just been unfolded in a Paris court of law. On June 11, 1794, Baron de Saint-Ouen Dernemont, one of the grey mousquetaires of Louis EV.'s body guard, and the Baronne de Saint-Ouen Dernemont, his wife, were tried by the revolutionary tribunal and sent to the scaffold on the same day. They left five children, two sons and three daughters. So far back as July, 1789, Baron Dernemont and his sons left Versailles to share the voluntary exile of the Count d'Artoie. The Baroness Dernemont, left in Paris with her three daughters fell into a date of the most distressing poverty. In 1794, she wrote praising letters to the baron beseeching him to return. He at length complied with her request—too soon for himself, for he was arrested almost immediately, and executed as above stated ; but too late for the welfare of his family. Some time in 1791, one of his daughters, the noble demoiaelle Sophie de Saint-Ouen Dernemont, left her mother's house, and adopting the prin ciples of "free love," became the mistress of a roturier, named Louis Fontaine, who lived with her for several months in the Rue de l'Universite. Shocking to relate, this M. Louis Fontaine turned her adrift after the birth of a child, and installed her sister, the noble demoiselle Fillicitd do Saint- Ouen Dernemont, in her place. What became of Mdlle. Sophie for several years after this desertion does not appear, but on January 10, 1799, she consoled herself by marrying a man named Ignard, who had been a journeyman baker, but had then acquired some money by lucky speculations, and afterwards became one of the richest bankers under the Empire. M. Ignard died without issue in 1814, leaving his widow a very large fortune, the greater part of which she gave up to her husband's relations. Years rolled on, during which Madame Ignard lived in the most absolute retire ment, obscure and forgotten. She persisted in refusing to see any of her relations, till they gave up the attempt. Her establishment consisted of a single woman servant, and the only stranger who ever crossed her threshold during the latter years of her life was a humble government empioyi, to whom she gave 100 franca a month to read the news papers to her. It was only last year, on April 25, 1866, that the noble daughter of Louis XV.'s mousquetaire quitted this world, in which she had led such a chequered and extraordinary life, at the age of 95 years. It was then found that her savings out of the small pittance which she had re served to herself in the distribution of her hus band's succession amounted to the handsome sum of 400,000 f. Sixteen nephews and nieces came forward to claim this inheritance. But a title para mount, of which they were not dreaming, has been established by the court, which carries off three fourths of the prize. During the short period in 1791 that Louis Fontaine lived with Mdlle. Sophie, a daughter was born who was " recognized " in the Pariah register of St. Thomas Aquinas as their natural child. A Monsieur Jerome and a Madame Berlet have proved without difficulty that they are the only children of that natural child, who died in her mother's lifetime. The French law is that a " recognized " natural child takes three-fourths of the succession as against collaterals, and the court has accordingly decreed M. Jerome and Madame Berlet entitled to 300,000 f. out of Madame Ignard's property, while the sixteen legi timate nephews and nieces will only get 100,00 0 E. among them. The Florence correspondent of the Mints men tions that an Italian paper, not wanting in political saga city, though its language is at times somewhat trivial, re. eently said : " Schleswig gave us Venice—Luxemburg wil give us Rome." THE KING OF DENMARK AND THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE-It will be recollected that during the recent visit of the King of Denmark to London, his Majesty, in company with the Prince of Wales, inspected the metro politan fire brigade, for the purpose of acquiring informa tion of its general management. His MajestT paid a second visit to the station, and accompanied Captain Shaw, the chief of the force, to a fire which happened to brut out at the time in the neighbourhood of Walworth, where the King bad an opportunity of observing the brigade in working order. The day previous to his Majesty's departure for Copenhagen, Captain Shaw received the foliowing communication from his Ma jesty :—" Marlborough-house, Pall-mall, April 11, 1867. Dear Sr,—By command of his Majesty I have the honour to ask your acceptance of a little souvenir, which the King wishes you to keep in remembrance of your kind assistance in procuring his Majesty the practical acquaint ance and knowledge of your excellent fire corps and its admirable management,—l am, Sc. (signed) ()THOLE. Captain E. M. Shaw, Chief of the Brigade." The souvenir was a magnificent g old ring, richly enamelled, and deco rated with the imperial crown and the royal initials, "C. R. IR." in brilliant diamonds. On his Majesty's first visit to the head station of the fire brigade in Wat ling-street with the Prince of Wales, the fact was recorded by themselves in the brigade orderly-book thus:—" Visited the station, and found all correct. A. K, CHRISTIAN OF Dammam." BRIGANDAGE IN THE PAPAL STATES. (raox OUR SPECIAL CORRZSPONDENE) SUBIACO, APRIL 9. With such cheerful adieus from my friends as, "I hope you will disagree with the brigands, who eat you," ringing in my ears, and not over en couraged by the parting question of my banker, " How much do you authorise me to pay for your ransom on the receipt of a bit of an ear or the end of your nose ?" I set out from Rome on Thursday last, alone and on horseback, bound for Ardea, the capital of the ancient Rutuli. Of Ardea, from whose lofty citadel Tunny; gave the signal for war to the knife with the Trojans on their first arrival in Latium, even in Virgil's day little else remained but the name : " Locus Allies quondam Diane &vie ; et nuno magnum menet Arden nomen, Bed fortuna fait." At the present day the site of the ancient Rutulian citadel is occupied by a castle belonging to the Sforza-Cesarini family, which owns the country round, and about whose lordly dwelling are clus tered the meaner habitations of their dependents, most of whom fly to the Alban hills for refuge from the malaria which desolates the place in summer time. Provided with a letter of recommendation, I felt great confidence of a favourable re caption, as, with the bridle of my horse thrown over my arm, I scaled on foot the steep ascent leading to the family cantle. On reaching the main entrance, however, I was somewhat taken aback at learning from a couple of carpenters at work in putting up a stout door, that the building was absolutely untenanted. Producing my letter to the housekeeper, I was directed towards the humble dwellings above alluded to, and presently found myself in the pre sence of a young woman, answering to the name of Maria Fatiganti, to whom my letter was addressed. The lady turning out to be no scholar, and her husband being abroad, I was forthwith solemnly called upon to read my credentials aloud in public. With this request I forthwith proceeded to comply. No sooner had I concluded than orders were given all round to everybody to hold themselves in readi ness to do everything for me, with which orders everybody complied for the remainder of my stay, which was thereby rendered highly agreeable. For the night I had the whole castle to myself, not another human being sleeping under the same roof, an experience which was rendered somewhat ex citing by a story current about Ardea, that a few weeks before brigands had entered the place, killed a man and a woman, whose heart they had cut out, boiled, and eaten. Early next morning, with a whole heart, and ears and nose still entire, after enjoying a beautiful view at sunrise over the woods, which stretch down the valley from the castle to the blue Mediterra nean, some three miles distant, I bade adieu to Ardea, and passing under an imposing fragment of a massive Pelasgic wall, turned my horse's head in the direction of the Alban hills. On every side of me extended an undulating grassy table land, in tersected at intervals by deep ravines, the sides of which were richly clothed with feathery woods, presenting every shade of green, from the dark sombre ilex to the tender green of the alder and willow. Over this delightful region, which is quite unspoiled by any kind of civilization, and not tra versed by a single carriage road, you may wander at will on horseback, keeping no particular track, and steering only by some peak of the Alban bills, or some conspicuous castle-crowned paese Like an eagle's nest, Perched on the crest Of purple Appenine. Striking the hills at Civita Lavinia, where I lunched in a dark wine-vault with a party of card playing ruffians, potential if not actual brigands, I had the misfortune soon after to find myself re duced to following the dusty highroad, the Via Appia Nuova, which leads from Rome to Velletri, whither I was bound. At Velletri, where I met with more than " mo dioo hospitio" at the sign of "Il Gallo," I passed the rest of the day in endeavouring to collect in formation about the actual state of brigandage in the province, and the reported insecurity of the roads. Raving by a curioua accident fallen into the society of the captain, lieutenant, and marshal ser geant) of the gendartnia), and conversed with them all separately, and at some length, I enjoyed as good an opportunity as one well could have of getting at the truth of the matter. What I learned from the lieutenant and sergeant—who informed me that musketry of the brigands had been heard outside the walls of Velletri that very afternoon, and that Monaignore Pericoli, delegate of the province of Frosinone and suppressor-general of bri gands, who had been making a reconnoitring expedition into the hills of the robbers, had had to fly ignominiously for his life—was so little en couraging, that I had almost made up my mind that it would be sheer madness to make the excursion which I was contemplating to the interesting Pelasgic settlements of Cori and Segni, situated well within the enemy's country. Somewhat re assured, however, by my interview with the captain, who seemed an active and intelligent of remarkably with the lieutenant, who was evidently a swaggering, and probably a cowardly lounger, and who, being in much need of putting down himself, seemed a most unlikely man to put down brigands—l decided after all to risk it, and see Cori and Segni at any price. To reach Cori from Velletri, which stands con spicuously on the southern slope of the Alban hills, you have to cross a rich, well-wooded plain, which extends to the Volecian hills, among the lower slopes of which, and embedded in olive groves, nestle the picturesque towns of Cori, Norba, Sermoneta, Basciano, and further south towards Terracina, Sonnino—the birth-place of the Anto nail), and the foster-mother of brigands. To what extent this is literally a fact I happen to have some most precise information, gathered from an individual but too intimately acquainted with the ins and outs of brigandage. That the number of brigands operating within the Papal States could be known even approxi mately was to me something quite unexpected, but I am assured that there are but 52 actually subjects of the Pope, and some 400 " Regnicoli," or natives of "Il Regno," "the kingdom of Naples," and consequently subjects of Victor Emmanuel. Of the 52 who belong to the Papal States, 30 are known to be natives of the single commune of Sonnino ! A sore subject of reflection this, one would think, for his Excellency the Cardinal Secretary of State. [STAMPED, Id. ADDMOIAL.] Aa I neared a suspicious spot called Giuglianello, situated on the brink of a picturesque ravine, and near a small lake called by the same name, and about half-way between Velletri and Cori, on rounding a corner I suddenly heard the sharp crack of what sounded like a rifle, and saw a little puff of blue smoke curling into the air and con trasting against the fresh green of a bed of willows and oziers. Feeling a little uneasy, although I did not hear the whizz of even a distant bullet, it was some relief to me to catch sight of four ducks, de scribing gyrations in the air, and evidently about to settle again in the ozier bed. The figure of a harmless sportsman soon became visible. Leaving my horse at the farm buildings of Giuglianello, I proceeded, in the post carriage which plies between Cori and Velletri, up the steep ascent which leads to the former place. At Cori the arrival of a stranger at such a period seemed to create no small excitement, but I could not make out that I had incurred any real danger in visiting the place, for the last real fact I could get at con necting Cori with the brigands was that just a year ago the able-bodied population had turned out in considerable numbers to give the brigands chase, and killed one of them as they would have done a wolf. While 1 was thinking of brigands, and at the same time admiring the huge blocks of the Cyclopian wall, piled together without any hewing, and of every angular shape, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons—in short every sort of agora, and a complete cubic illustration of the whole of Euclid, definitions, axioms, and postulates included—l was not a little astonished, when half expecting to get my throat cut, to hear the welcome sound of a squeaky piano, making such music as is only too familiar to the ears of sojourners at English watering-places as they saunter on the esplanade after breakfast. In a house actually built into the Temple of Castor and Pollux, I found a tailor's shop, with the well-known fashionable and coloured cuts of faultlessly made and appareled youths and dandies hanging on the wall. Leaving Cori, after a surprisingly excellent lunch, consisting of asparagus-omelette (a most delicate dish) and a piece of fish, freshly taken out of the sea at Porto d'Anzio (25 miles off across the plain, of which and the Mediterranean and islands dotting it you get a splendid view from the Doric temple of Hercules, crowning the brink of the ridge, on which the upper town of Cori is built), I set off on my return to Giuglianello in the post carriage, which to make up for the delay of half an hour in waiting for me, and perhaps with a thought of pos sible brigands in the imagination of the driver, went down part of the descent absolutely at full gallop, thereby subjecting me, I suspect, to much the greatest risk I have run, so far, of coming to an untimely and violent end. Before reaching Giuglianello we took an escort on board, as the Yankees say, consisting of two rustic guards in uniform, who looked warranted to run away on the first intimation of danger. Remounting myhorse at Giuglianello I took leave , of my solitary companion of the post-carriage, and having taken the precaution to give out previously in a loud tone of voice that I was going to ride back to Velletri, struck into a cross-country track, bound for Monte Fortino and &qui. Against both places, as being unmistakeably dangerous, I had been freely warned on all sides, but having found out already how absolutely unfounded were the rumours of incurring certaindanger in other places, only slightly doubting, I made my way through open fields and shady Devonshire-like lanes, along the foot of the northern extremity of the Volscians hills. At the point of the shoulder, and where you turn the corner to get into the Valley of the Sacoo— the valley, which is that gap between the Alban and Aequo-Hernican hills, the entrance of which is commanded on the east by Frigidum Pneneste, and on the west by Monte Porzio, and is so conspi cuous and familiar to all wanderers in the Roman Campagna—stands in a grand and commanding position on the summit of a ridge that infamous " pease," Monte Fortino, where, as an Irishman would say, three menof everytwo are notoriousbri sands. Throwing suspicious glances up at its dizzy height, I rode past at a brisk trot, and soon left it seve ral miles behind me. Gainingthe so-called " Strada Trajana" at a point about a mile distant from the Segni Railway station, I mounted by its winding length for upwards of an hour, before I even caught sight of the eagle's nest, where I was to pass the night. Never in this world was Saturday even t into which,whichmet my mg gaze Pa s I app rospect mure hed thefutol t han tha t Segni, from all sides, long lines of men, women, and chil dren, mules and asses, were streaming up the moun tain, down the mountain, and along its side, looking in the distance so tiny that they seemed like strings of ants.

Mr. lkwu mont wrote as follows :—" lam in receipt of your letter, dated April t and am lorry I can give you no hopes of acceding to what I may term your most unreasonable request. At the same time, I may add, nothing would give me more pleasure than furthering, to the utmost ex tent in my power, any honest, and at the same time liberal measure of reform, from whatever party it may come." I [TWOPENCE CLOSE OF THE NORTH GERMAN SPEECH OF KING WILLIAM. (acme's TZLEOWI.) BERLIN, APRIL 17: The close of the North German Parliament by the King of Prussia in person, as previously announced by Count von Bismarck during the morning's sitting, took place at noon to-day in the White Saloon of the Royal Castle. A large number of deputies were present, including Prince Frederick Charles. The Left, however, was only represented by Herren Becker and Schraps. In the box of the diplomatic body were the ambassadors of England, Russia, Denmark, and Holland. The Queen and the Crown Princess, with her eldest son, were in the royal box. On the entry of the King, Herr Simeon, president of the parliament, exclaimed :—" Long live the King, the protector of the North German Blind." His Majesty then delivered the following speech from the throne : " Illustrious, noble, and honourable members of the parliament of the North German Confederation—l see you again assembled around me at the termina tion of your important labours with a feeling of sin cere satisfaction. The hopes I recently expressed from this place in the name of the allied governments have Mille, then, through your aid, been brought to fulfilment. With patriotic earnestness you have understood the greatness of your teak, and have kept in view our common objects with voluntary self-restraint. For that reason we have suc ceeded in establishing upon a secure baais a constitution whose development we may confidently leave to the future. The federal authority is furnished with the attributes in dispensable to, but also sufficient for, the prosperity and the power of the confederation. The individual states, while their future is guaranteed by the totality of the Brand, have retained their freedom of action in all depart ments wherein variety and development is admissible and salutary. Popular representation has secured that co-ope ration in carrying out the great national objects which corresponds to the spirit of the existing constitutions of the countries, and to the necessities of the governments to see their action supported by the agreement of the German people. All of us who have co-operated in the carrying out of the national task—the allied governments as well ea the representatives of the people— have readily made the sacri fice of our views and our wishes, and we were able to do so in the conviction that these sacrifices were made for Ger many, and that they were worth our union. By this universal readiness, coupled with the conciliation of and victory over opposing views, the guarantee is at the same time gained for that future fruitful development of the con federation, with the conclusion of which also the hopes common to us with our brethren in South Germany have advanced nearer to their fulfilment. The time has arrived when our German fatherland is able to uphold its peace, its rights, and its dignity by its own collective strength. The national self-consciousness, which has found elevated expression in the parli►ment, has met with a powerful echo from all quarters of Germany. None the leas, however, are all the governments and peoples of Germany unanimous that the regained power of the nation has, above all, to uphold its signifi cance by rendering secure the blessings of peace. Honourable Gentlemen,—The great work in which we have been thought worthy by Providence to co-operate is approaching its completion. The popular representations of the individual states will not refuse their constitutional recognition to what you have created in community with their governments. The saute spirit that has enabled the * task to succeed here will also preside over their delibera tions. Thus, then, the first parli.unent of the North German Confederation may close its labours with the elevating consciousness that it is accompanied by the thanks of the fatherland, and that the work it has accom• pliahed will, with the help of Providence, be fruitfully de veloped both in our time and in future generations. May God bestow his blessing upon us and our dear fatherland." The paragraphs of the vomit relating to South Gessaalry and to the duty of securing the blessings of pesos called forth loud cheers. After the delivery of the speech Count Bismarck, on behalf of the federal governments, declared the session closed. The Saxon plenipotentiary then called upon the assembly to give three cheers for the King of Prussia. THE MARQUIS or BUM—We are authorised to state that the paragraph is the Scotsman of yesterday, to the effect that the Marquis of Bute has become a convert to the Roman catholic religion, is untrue. THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT RI RMINGHAM. Messrs. Scholefield and Bright will take part in the reform demonstration at Birmingham on Easter Monday, and address their oonstituenta in the Town-hall in the evening. THE REFORM LEAGUE. —The delegates from friendly, trade, temperance, and other societies and branches of the Reform League met last evening at Sus sex-hall, Bouverie-street, under the presidency of Mr. Beale', to consider the present state of the reform ques . tire. The chairman said the state of affairs both inside and outside parliament rendered it absolutely necessary that the League should take another step, and it would be well to consider when and where they should hold their next great demonstration in the metropolis. He re gretted Mr. Gladstone had put forwarll his 5/. rating clause, but no doubt be acted conscientiously. it was a great mistake—a mistake which enabled the w eaned liberal reformers to take advantage of the proposi tion to throw over, if possible, Mr. Gladstone himself, and to delay the passing of a large measure of reform. Ho (the chairman) did not hesitate to say that whether as re garded principles or character, no man was more entitled to the support of the friends of reform than Mr. Gladstone, and it was to be hoped the people were not prepared to sacrifice him at the instigation, or through the intrigues, of a party of treacherous reformers. The chairman con cluded by announcing that having requested General Garibaldi to accept the office of honorary pre sident of the league, the general felt gratified in acceding to the request. A resolution was moved by Mr. Cramer, to the effect that the reformers of London should meet in Hyde-park on Monday, the rick of May, at 6 o'clock in the evening, and afterwards leave the Park by Apaley-gate and proceed to a place to be indicated at the time. To this resolution Mr. Brighty moved as an amendment, that there should be a demonstration in London at midnight. This gave rise to a lengthened and stormy discussion, during which, on account of the per sonal allusions of a Mr. Osborne, the chairman twice left the chair, on the last occasion only resuming it at the earnest entreaty of numerous delegates. Eventually the amend. meet was lost and the original motion carried. A com mittee was appointed to carry out the resolutioe, and the proceedings terminated. THE EASTER MONDAY VOLVNTEER REV/EW. On Easter Sunday there will be divine service at 11.30 a.m. at Dover Castle, specially for volunteers. Members of that body, who may wish to attend this service, will parade at 8.30 a.m. near the Lord Warden Hotel, or at 8.45 a.m.on the Market-place, whence they will be marched to the Castle, under the command of the senior officer. The band of the Civil Service Rifle Volunteer Corps will attend the parade at the Lord Warden Hotel.
