TEE TRADE AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' REFORM DEMONSTRATION. apUTATION TO WORKS. THE CHIEF — (THIS C DAY.)OMMLSSIONER OF At noon to-day a deputation from the committee trusted with the carr y in g out of the arrangements of d e proposed Trade and Friendly Societies' reform demon tion, waited upon Lord John Manners at the offices of robin Works, Whitehall-place, to ask the use of Hyde ?irk or the Green-park for the holding of the demonetra tna, the committee having as yet failed to get use of a private place for that purpose. t h e Th e deputation consisted of Messrs. George Potter, R. gartwell, J. Coffey, S. Brooke, Jenkins, and Bryan. Mr. POTTER, addressing the Chief Commissioner, raid the deputation had sought the interview for the purpose of submitting to him what the working men of London in tended to do on Monday next. He had no doubt his lord ship was aware that the London trades societies, the f r iendly societies, the temperance societies, the Odd Fel lows and Forestera, and other organised bodies had, through delegates, expressed their determination to hold demonstration on the 3rd of December in favour of par. b orne ntary reform. They had been led to this step by various reasons, the principal being that their fellow working men throughout the. country had held demon strations of the same kind as that which they intended to hold. Delegate meetings representing 200,000 working nen having arranged the preliminaries of the demonstra tion, steps were taken to proside a private place, in order that the gathering should be of a bond fide character and entirely composed of working men ; but unfortn oetely the committee were disappointed in reference to a place which they bad selected, and at present they did not know where to meet. Under these circumstances they had been sent to his lordship to request Ida to permit the demonstration to be held in Hyde-park se the Green-park, and in making this request they wished ilea be ( . stinctly understood that they did not want to in terfere in the dispute ea' sting between the Reform League sad the government with respect to the use of these places. They hoped and believed he would grant the working men al London what they asked as a favour, and their belief `the success of their inter% :ow was strengthen:d by the bet that he had given the working men of Edinburgh the we of the Queen's-park for the hold 'erg of their reform de monstration. Mr. Blneiee, the treasurer of the Demonstration Com aittee, said the granting of the request of the deputation would be an act of grace on . the part of the government &Mich he had no doubt would tend to heal the taimoniotur feeling which was evinced by large numbers d people towards the government in reference to Hyde. park. They did not come to ask the use of Hyde-park or the Green-park as a matter of right, but as a matter of few, and he would pledge his honour that on the occa sion of the demonstration not a shrub nor a branch of a tree would be disturbed. Mr. Coven', who represented the Foresters and the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, both of which he said lei capital to the extent of four millions sterling in the hinds, stated that the working men would act as special constables at the demonstration. Mr. JENKINS and Mr. BRYAN having given expression to their views, Mr. HARTWELL urged, in support of the request of the deputation, that the bond fide character of the demonstra tion and the arrangements which had been made by the organisation committee would prevent the possibility of r oughs or mischievous boys causing a disturbance. A number of gentlemen occupying respectable positions had offered to walk by the aide of the procession, and tokrep order,and he (Mr. Hartwell) assured the Chief Com missioner that nothing would be wanting on the part of the committee to attain the same end. Lori JOHN Maerieea expressed his satisfaction at the very temperate statements made by the deputation. They could not expect an immediate answer from him but he hoped to be enabled to give it to them in the course of the day. With regard to Mr. Potter's allusion to Holyrood-park, near Edinburgh, he begged to say that he considered the granting of the use of that park for the purpose stated, a matter quite apart from the proposal now made to hint If the government refused to give Holyrood parkfor the use of the people of Edinburgh, on the occasion in question, they would be reversing a hitherto established practice, while the government, if they were to give the use of Hyde-perk or the Green-park, as represented by the deputation, would be also reversing an established practice. There was a great distinction between the two eases, in principle, and when they looked to the situations of the two parks the difference was greater. Ilolyrood-park is situate outside Edinburgh, and therefore all the dangers and inconvenience to traffic did not exist there at the bolding of a meeting such as were likely to occur at a similar gathering in Hyde-park or the Green-park. He seed not tell them that the government folly recognised the pains which they had taken to procure a fit place on private ground ; and he was quite sure that the govern ment very much regretted that their efforts hitherto had not proved successful. Although their intention to hold that meeting had been publicly announced for some time, there had been no indication of opposition from the government to their holding it, and they must all be perfectly aware that the government had not the slightest doubt that the respectable working men of London would conduct themselves in an orderly and peaceable manner at such a demonstration as that proposed. The reference made by a member of the depu. lotion to the appointment of special constables, pointed at the immense difficulty and danger attending the management of an enterprise of that sort, and he considered the government would take upon themselves a grave res. ponsibility if they did not seriously consider the effect of a concession such as that desired. He trusted they would sot leave the room without understanding that if the government thought it proper to decline the request, it was from no disposition that the working men should not express their feelings on the subject of parliamentary reform or any other subject, but solely from a sense of their duty to the people of the metropolis. Mr. JESKINS stated that the space in front of Chelsea Hospital would answer the purpose of the deputation. Lord J. MANNERS replied that the late government had given the use of the place referred to ; and he had no doubt the present government would do the same, but he world tot make such a proposal to them, because the depu htion were hardly prepared to make it to him. Mr. HaerweLL said the committee thought that by the selection of Hyde-park or the Green-park they would not interfere with the traffic. They would have no objection to • portion of the park being enclosed for the meeting, an they wanted to erect four temporary platforms wherever tie meeting was held. Lord Jon!: MANNERS replied that such a measure would exclude other people from the place. Mr. Hairrarett said the object of forming a cordon rand the meeting would le to prevent disturbance. The ether people could amuse themselves by listening to the music, and in other ways. Lord JOHN MANNERS thought the selection of Primrase lull would leas interfere with the traffic than either Hyde- Park or Green-park. The deputation stated they had not referred to Prim rose-hill, because they thought the route would materially interfere with the traffic. Lord JOHN MANNERS promised to take the entire sub- Sect into his serious consideration. The deputation then thanked his lordship and withdrew. THE PROPo,ZD REFORM BANQUET AT LIVER )(NIL—We understand that the leaders of the liberal party at Liverpool have resolved to abandon the proposed reform banquet in that town. The differences of opinion amongst the resident liberal leaders, combined with the inability of .Mr. Bright, Mr. Mill, and other influential members of parliament, to he present, are supposed to have induced the promoters of the proposed banquet to relinquish it. linar TIDE.—A tide of unusual height occurred on Saturday in the Thames, the highest point being reached at seven minutes past three. Large portions of the spa ce between the river wall of the embankment and the shore were ender water, and quantities of timber and other ratterials were floating about in confused mama. The largest portion winder water was nets the new Tempe landing stairs, the water having obtained entrance through the sewer which is in course of construction to carry off the sewage from the streets leading from the Strand to the i:ver to the potion of the low level sewer in the em bankment. No serious injury was done, and on the open rig of the sluices the water was very speedily drained off into the liver. Since the commencement of the works, lone three years niece, so high a title has not been wit nessed, and when at the full it reached to within a few inches of the upper course of masonry of the river wall. On the other portions of the embankment where the tide swept over the works no dame's of any consequence was exile-tented, as the great work is too far advanced to be injured by any tidal action of the river.

Mr. James Bevan Bowan, of Llwyngwair, was this day elected unopposed. In returning thanks, he said he would suppoet any well-considered measure of reform ; and this he thinks the present government likely to introduce. He would like to see dissenters relieved from the payment of church rates. ORIENTAL GAS COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at noon, at the London Tavern ; Hr. W. T. Fawcerr in the chair. The report said that during the half-year 195 public lights had been erected, and 1103 burners had been added to the private lights, thereby raising the totals to 1,458 and 9,2ta respectively. About four miles of additional I main pipes had been laid since the last report, and the manager writes :—" This quantity would have been much greater but for the early commencement of the rains. I am working on throughout the season, and an in great hopes I shall be able to complete the i laying of mains and erection of the first contract for lamps before the end of the cold season." a The general revenue account shows a balance available for dividend of 6,5951. 15s. 10d. ; out of which the directors recommend a dividend for the six months ending 30th et Jane hat, at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum on the paid- lo up capital of the company, payable, free of income tax, on the 12th day of Deoember next. St. St. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, Bs. said it was the most favourableone ever presented, showing, gt . as it did, that the prospects of the company were im- se. pros 'ng. The increase of public lights last year was very at. large, viz., 548, while the increase of private lights was over 2,000. Contracts had been taken for one St.., of the Calcutta gaols, and for the town-haU. An order "g;.• bad been received to fit up the town-hall, at an expense of s t . 14,000 rupees, with 1,500 lights. The lighting np of s St. large establishment like that was an excellent advertise- St. St. ment. He had no doubt that the us e of g as would gra dually become general both in public and private r. buildings. They had already 70 miles of mains 4: laid down in Calcutu. The chief expense under that head g t had now been incurred, and when new customers were at, obtained ell they had to do, generally speaking, was to St. tap the main pipe. There was now store *zoom- at. modation for three days ; and 680,000 cubic feet of Si. gas could be supplied without d'fficulty. In consequence of the rapid Increase of business a committee of 10 three gentlemen had been formed at Calcutta, wo and were ably representing the company. In con- IWO elusion, he congratulated the meeting on the setting 10 aside of 1,0001. out of the profits of the year as the hula of 5! , ,- a reserve fund, and that a balance of 1,0001. was also carried over to the wear and tear account After some discussion the report was adopted, and a divi. as, dead of 8 per cent. per annum declared, and the proceed- fit. ingsterminated in the usual manner. at.

A new tory weekly journal is announced. The Monitor is the title of a " Wednesday review of politics, literature, science, and art," which will " faithfully re present constitutional principles, and boldly apply than to the consideration and criticism of passing events." A medical tutor writes to the Times on the "increasing demoialisation" of medical students. In many of the medical schools in London, he says, not the least discipline is maintained, and so much anxiety exists on the part of certain professors to retain students to the particular institution with which they are connected, that the grossest misconduct, the most open impertinence, and the lowest ruffianism are tolerated. The writer urges the formation of a committee of teachers who shall agree to some general rules of disci pline, resolving that when a student is expelled from any one of their colleges by reason of his misconduct, he shall be considered as ineligible for admission into any of the other London hospitals. The " Medical Tutor " also urges that a little more decency should be enforced in dissecting rooms, and that " dissecting-room porters should not be permitted to throw about dead bodies as if they were bale of sawdust." The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Herald writes:—" The ball at the palace yesterday (Sunday) evening was extremely animated, and dancing was kept up to an unusually late hour. It was half-past 2 before the company separated. All the diplomatio eorps were there as well as the foreign visitors, including tho Prince of Wales and several gentlemen of his suite. They did not all go, probably because it was Sun day ; but the Prince has not allowed his national habit+ to into:fere with the usual course of festivities here. The Prince danced a great deal, and he was even persuaded to try the Mazourka—the lively dance with which ever/ ball is brought to a conclusion." At a meeting of the demonstration committee held on Saturday night, it was stated that es Sir Richard Mayne had declined to afford any special facilities to the committee who have the management of the procession, application should be made to the Rome :Secretary for his authorisation to swear in 1,000 special constables, selected from the various trades, to preserve order on Monday, the :ird of December. TOR :.lEMBERB FOR DERBY AND REFORM. —The members for the borough and county of Derby were enter tained at a civic banquet a night or two ago, and made some remarks upon political topics. Mr. Bass said he thought that Mr. Bright had somewhat disparaged the House of Commons, of which he was so conspicuous a . member. He could say that it would be difficult to gather 14 together men more able and competent to do the work of the country than those whom they now found there. His notion I , was that after they had got reform there would be pretty 5 , much the same sort of members sent to the house as now. Doubtless their complexion might be coloured by those who sent them, and men might become more extreme than they are now. With respect to the prospects of reform, the honourable gentleman said he was in London a few days ago, and he saw a member of the house, who was in the confidence of those now in power, and he told him that Lard Derby would introduce a reform bill, and it would be one that would deserve the careful consideration of parliament. The government said if they found it necessary to make a change, they would do it in a workmanlike manner, and so that it would satisfy all classes for a long period. Mr. Cox, in his speech, said, No man can stand up more firmly for the working classes than I do, and I would take care that they had a good day's pay for a days work, but I firmly believe if trades unions are allowed to go on (which I hope and trust they will not be) that they will drive our legitimate trade over the sea." Mr. Evans expressed his belief that the pre sent ministry would introduce a reform bill, and was of opinion that the best policy, ns well as simple justice, was to give any preposition they made fair and unprejudiced consideration. A PHOTOGRAPH OF A BD; Hor.—l have before me a photograph of one of the most active of our bishops, one who I am sure would publicly deny that he in any way countenanced ritualism. I am, however, of a very different opinion ; I believe his peculiar action in the matter in his diocese, and the countenance he has given elsewhere to those who do favour it, has done a great deal to promote it. His portrait (price Is. Cal.) goes far to confirm me in my opinion. He is represented in full robes, in his left hand a lofty, most ornate crozier, or pas toral staff, his right hand is raised, the fingers positioned, according, I presume, to some episcopal Directorinut ; the li tie finger and the next turned into the palm of the band, to meet the thumb, the two other fingers held up, but slightly curved. I am particular in detail, because it is quite clear he stood for his likeness in the act of giving the blessing, and the whole representation is just that of a bishop of the cistern or western church performing that act ; it is episcopal ritualism, from life. tunate as List received that blessing thus caught by sun power in its giving Ido not care to publish. I have some acquaintance with this bishop. I and all his friends must regret the severity the treacherous operation threw into his usually benign countenance ; if Brisk the son of Zip poi had seen Balsam so limned be would have scarcely asked him to denounce, not bless ; the Prophet blessing would have been a terror.—S.

Oita teCtooa. The mining market is rather firmer to-day, with a demand for shares in most of the undermen tioned mines, at the prices given : —North Crotty, 2i to ; East Lovell, 91 to 101; Carnarvonshire Consolidated, 1 to 2 prem. ; Prince of Wales, 245. to 263. ; Wheal Grenville 2fis. to 26 5. ; We st Caradon, 14 to ; St. Ives Consols, 5f to 61; East Grenville, 21 to ; Wheal Agar, 275. 6d. to 325. 6d. ; and Chontales, 21 to n• petition for the winding up of the West Wheal Vor Mining Company by the Stannaries Court h to be heard before the 'Vice-Warden on the 3rd December. lag 7 q 'HIS DAY.) 93 .... 911 Mil 99 NT la!} 14i 15 80 781 Ows o'CLuce. Very few dealings have been recorded to-day in public securities, and prices generally are =- change d . The tendency is rather dull, it being rumoured that the government are about to des patch a large number of troops to Ireland, owing to the serious character of the official news from Dublin with regard to tho designs of the Fenians. Consols are flat, at the closing prices of Saturday, although it is stated that a considerable amount of stock has been bought on account of the Bank of England. It is believed that these operations will be continued, the re sources of that establishment being very large. Foreign bonds and English railway stocks present no variation, with the exception of a decline in Caledonian and Great Northern A. The demand for money has increased to-day, owing chiefly to the arrival at maturity of a large amount of Indian and China paper. The inquiry generally, however, is not active, and good bills are still taken at a fraction below the Bank rate. The charge in the Stock Exchange for loans from day to day on English Government Securities, is 3 to 31 per cent. Consols are now quoted 891 to 90, cum div., for money, and 881 to 1, ex div., for the account (6th December). The foreign stock market is inactive, with few dealings, and the speculative descriptions aro unaltered. The scrip of the Russian loan is quoted 11 to 11 pram, showing no change. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58. to 591 ; ditto, 1865, 331 to 1; Greek, 131 to 141 ; Spanish Passive, 205 to 4; ditto Certificates, 135 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 55 to ; Mexican, 13} to 4. United States 5-20 Bonds are steady, at 701 to 1 ; Illinois Central Railway shares have improved 1 per cent, viz., to 771 to 781. Erie, however, have declined 4, being quoted 474 to 481. Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele graph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are with out movement, at 141 to 151 and 31 to 41, respec- tively. International Financial shares are quoted 2l to 2 dis. ; London Financial, 161 to 151 diss; General Credit, 2 to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 51 to 5 dia. ; National Discount, 91 to 1 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 17. Holders of the United States 5-20 Bonds are con firmed iu their confidence by the steadfast attention which is given by the United States government to the reduction of its debt. Of the total of, say 553,000,0001., existing in January last, about 43,000,000/. has been extinguished since that date. If we put the whole income of the United States government at 118,000,0001., it will be seen that about three-eighths of that large sum is uow being applied to the reduction of the debt, the entire extinction of which would be effected in about ten years wore this ratio to be maintained. The public seem to be transacting very little business in home railway stocks at present. It is a negative kind of satisfaction to infer from the absence of bond fide sales that there is no disposition to take alarm and sacrifice property, but any general demand cannot be looked for until the questions affecting railway finance in its broadest aspect shall have been solved. These questions are indeed of vital importance. Some companies are proved to have made over-issues of debentures —a proceeding which may inflict as much loss upon innocent holders as the frauds of a ltedpath or a i Pullinger. Other oompanics put out debentures upon which, as they practically know at the time of issue, they will be unable to meet the interest charges ; in fact, to use the phrase of the bankruptcy courts; they contract debts without having any reasonable prospect of being able to pay them. Abuses like these strike at the very root of confi dence in railway property, and have produced so wide-spread a feeling of doubt, if not of absolute distrust, that it is questionable whether the re newal of debentures at the turn of the year may not be attended with unusual difficulty. And here the unsoundness of the whole system of railway finance, as expressed in the existence of a huge unfunded debt, is brought painfully home to us. This is a form of indebtedness which is being almost universally eschewed even by the greatest governments of the world, so general is the percep tion of its unsoundness and danger. Why, then, should our railway companies persist in a system go likely to plunge them into chronic difficulty. Whether they will be able to extricate them selves from the threatened embarrassments without the direct assistance of the state may admit of question. Meanwhile, it is re-assuring to know that tho tittenti , n ( f government is fixed upon the subject. Let us hope that it will be treated from a broad point of dew, and that, instead of a bad system being tinkered and patched up, an effectual and permanent remedy 1 will be devised.
