RiTOILM MEETING AT PurnorTn.—We learn by telegraph that • crowded and enthusiastic meeting was bat last night at Plymouth, composed principally of working men and artisans employed in the government establishme•ts in favour of parliamentary reform. The Rev. Mr. Bonner addressed the meeting in advocacy of manhood suffrage and the ballot, and his remarks were received with applause. It was resolved by acclamation that the present restricted franchise is a gross injustice to the working classes, and ought to be remedied, and that nothing would be satisfactory but a representation based isa registered manhood suffrage and vote by ballot. A branch of the Reform League was formed, and many at once enrolled themselves as members. BISHOP COLllNBo.—Messrs. Trubner annernce, under the title of " Natal Sermons," a series of discourses preached by Bishop Colenso in his cathedral church f St. Peters, Maritzburg, and which are to be republish( d here under his sanction. Among these are discourses on "the Devouring Fire," " the Fallibility of the Seri' tures," "Signs and Wooden," "Demoniacal Possession." and " Abraham's Sacrifice." THE CHARGE OF NEGLECT AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN.—Yesterday afternoon, at a meeting of the board of guardians of Bethnal-green, Mr. Collins in the chair, the conduct of Dr. J. Massingham, the parish surgeon, who was alleged to have neglected a patient named Anne Ferry, under circumstances which • coroner's jury pro nounced to be " inhuman, and such as disqualified him from continuing to hold his appointment," came under discussion. Mr. Massingbam who was present, handed iu the following written state ment in his defence:—" On Wednesday, Jan. 2, about 7 p.m., a woman brough t me an order. I asked what was the matter ; she said, Con. finement.' I inquired how long the person had been ill, and if she wanted me directly ; she replied, ' No; she was confined about II o'clock this morning,' and that a neigh bour had attended her. I said, What did you get an order for,' and she said, ' Because I want sonic medicine for the after-pains,' at the same time giving me a bottle which she bad brought for it. I gave her some medicine, and as she was going out she asked me to give her • call on my round neat morning. At about half-past 10 next morning a girl came to my shop, and said her mother was very bad, and she thought dying. I thought the girl came from another patient who had several times sent to me that she was dying, and I said, ' Nonsense, your mother will not die yet, and I am coming out and will call and see her.' Directly after another came and asked me to go and see Mrs. Ferry, as they thought she was dying. I said she could not be from her labour, but that there must be some thing else the matter with her. She then told me she was turning blue. I then Wall she must have some disease of the lungs, said I am coming out directly and will call on her first. I went out in about ten minutes afterwanls, and had to ere a patient on my way to Ferry's house, and while there I bad • return of dysentery which I hail been suffering from for three or four days, and was obliged to return home. I immediately sent my son to see her, and he returned and told me she was suffering from congestion of the lungs, and would survive about an hour or so. He prescribed remedies for her. As soon as I was able to get oat again I went to see her and found her dead." After considerable discussion, in the course of which several members of the board expressed strong condemnation of Mr. Massingham's proceedings, as stated by himself, Mr. Fox said that the course taken by the board should be such as would distinctly mark their disapproval of Mr. Massing brim's conduct. He therefore moved that Mr. Measingham be suspended, and that the evidence and Mr. Massingbasu'e statement be for warded to the Poor-law Board. This no- Boa having been seconded, was carried unanimously. iwo BROTHELS FROZEN TO DEATH.—On Monday morning last a telegraphic message was received at the Chatteris Station, informing the relatives of Samuel and John Larkins that the poor fellows, who were natives of thisrt of Cambridgeshire, were on Sunday morning founddead on the river bank near Lincoln. The brothers were both employed at Messrs. Ruston, Praetor, and Co.'s foundry, one as a fitter and the other as a driller. They, in company with another brother (Charlie) and a may (brother to Samuel's wife), started on • skating excursion to Saxilby, sir miles from Lincoln, on Saturday afternoon which place they reached ; and, after • rest of several hours, they set out on their return, and skated back about two miles of the distance, when they took off their skates, intending to walk the rem •ining distance. They, how ever, found very great difficulty in getting along, the night being intensely cold, and • strong east wind blowing right against them. Charles and the boy, it seems, pushed on ahead and got home shortly after midnight, but the other two were overcome with fatigue and cold, and the next morning their bodies were found, one at Skellingthorpe ferry and the other about • mile nearer Sazilby, both frozen to death. They were both strong men; Samuel WAS about 30 and John about 24 years old, and it is very remit' kable that they should have been lost in the way they were. Probably the one found at the ferry was making his way to Pyewipe Inn, which he was within half-a-mile of, for assiotanoe. but before reaching it be too succumbed, and hay him down to die. The three brothers all worked at the Sheaf Iron-works, and came from the same part as Mr. Ruston himself, viz., Cam bridgeshire. They were young men of good character and industrious habits, and were all married. One of these beet leaves two children and the other one, besides widows.—Castbridee inelepesselestr. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1867. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (azurca's TN:mimosa PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JAN. 11, EVENING. The Judiciary Committee of the Chamber of Deputies have refused to agree to the proposal that offences against the press laws should be re ferred to a jury on the ground that an amendment of the constitution would at the present time be inopportune. The committee have, however, de termined to submit to the Chamber a proposal for the abolition of the State Tribunal of Justice. AUSTRIA. lENNA, JAN. 11. An imperial decree, dated yesterday, will be pub lished to-morrow, exempting from all legal dis abilities all the political offenders in Cracow and Galicia who were amnestied by the imperial decrees of 18th November and ith December, 1865, as well as those who have already under gone the sentence passed upon them. HUNGARY. PESTH, JAN. 11. The draft of the address drawn up by M. Deak in reference to the Imperial patent upon the reorganization of the army, expresses regret that absolute measures on the part of the government continue to lessen the hopes of a compromise be tween Austria and Hungary. It declares that by virtue of the laws of the country, the royal di plomas, the Pragmatic Sanction, and invariable constitutional practice, the adoption of measures relating to the army organization belong to the Diet, and that Hungary can never surrender this right, which is the vital condition of all constitutional existence. The address continues thus:—"Even on the ground of expediency alone, the patent or military reorganization should never have been issued, as the existence of a State is not secured by the nu merical strength and valour of its army unless the army have a contented people at its back, and this patent has produced but a general feeling of irri tation. Moreover, the urgency of a re-organiza tion of the army is but a fresh reason for a restora tion of the constitution, inasmuch as Hungary without a constitution is in case of need but a weak source of reliance, and the Diet can lay no burdens upon the nation so long as the latter continues deprived of its rights. Hungary recognises the necessity for a change in the military system, and will sanction all suitable modifications, but looks upon the measures which have been ordered without the consent of the Diet as illegal." The draft of the address, in conclusion, prays his Majesty not to make an arrangement between Austria and Hungary impossible by absolute de crees, but to withdraw the present patent and all other illegal ordinances, and to immediately re- II establish the constitution, on the ground that the strengthening of the State and the objects of the Pragmatic Sanction will only be attainable by a return to a constitutional state of things, both in Bungsrfina in the countries on the other side of the Leitha. M. Bartel, vice-president of the governorship of Pesth, has tendered his resignation, in consequence of the Imperial patent on the army reorganiza tion having been issued without the assent of the council of governorship in Pesth. He has left for Vienna, having been summoned thither by the Emperor. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 11, Rvixiso.

The gentleman said, "Test the regard to those States which did not at the first present n"niak" for them to too w th and nail. moment adopt the constitution.

[TWOPENCE to take off half the malt tax, and you turned me out." Mr. Disraeli very naturally said that he did not wish for • repetition of that—(laughter)--but with an adverse ma jority in the House of Commons of nearly 00 against the proposition—and surely it was a reasonable one—that the future surplus should be devoted to the reduction of the malt tax, it was the opinion of the house that the national debt should be paid off before farmers had a slice of the surplus at all. Therefore, the farmers had a very up-hill game to fight, and it would be folly on the part of her Majesty's ministers to bring in a bill to abolish the malt tax when there was a majority of 80 who said they should not even have the surplus revenue. He did not think there was any other interest of so great importance and magnitude as agriculture which had so little weight in the kingdom. By the recently published agricultural statistics it would be found that the capital employed in the cultivation of the soil of thekingdom could not be leas than 300,000,0001., while farmers had to spend something like 75,000,0001. a year in wages to their agricultural labourers. If we took any other interest of not half that amount, it would be found that by organization and unity they obtained their ends. If the farmers had, however, to go to the gorses went, they really did not know where to go or what to do. They were, perhaps, told to go to the Privy Council, or to the Home-office, or to the Board of Trade, or to the Veterinary Department of the Privy Council, and they were bandied about from pillar to post, and got no sort of redress. He thought the time had arrived when we wanted, he would nut say • minister of agriculture, but some special department of the Board of Trade which really understood the wants of agriculture, and to which farmers would not when they went to it have to speak in such an unknown tongue se they now did. One word more as to the malt.tax ; it was supposed by some to be a sort of protection to the growers of the best barley. Now the best barley was grown in Norfolk, but the Norfolk farmers were so • man In favour of the repeal of the malt tax. Barley might be sent into England free of duty from all quarters of the globe, and lastyear we received something like 7,000.000cwe of barley. But take the case of the rnaltaters. We exported some thing like 60,000 quarters of malt last year, and we did not import • single quarter, although the different* charged upon foreign malt art oompared with the excise duty was so miffing that it was just about sufficient to counterbalance the advantage the foreigner would have in keeping his malt any length of time. Then in the case of the brewer ; there was no beer, except a little for medicinal purposes, imported into the kingdom but the value of the exports of beer last year was over 2,100,0001. There fore be (Mr. Read) said the protection which the malt tax was supposed to be to the agricultural interest was nothing. The protection was really to the =lister and brewer. If we could by any possibility give agricultural labourers good, wholesome, nourishing beer, instead of the adulterated bad stuff they had at public-houses, be believed that more would be done to regenerate them than anything yet seen or attempted in our tim es . When he considered that the malt tax pressed so hard on the agri cultural labourer, mid that in other countries they bad their wine and oil untaxed, be coutended that those liberal gentlemen who had imposed upon the farmers free trade were bound to give thew free agriculture also. (Cheers.) Mr. Willow, M.P., subsequently responded to the toast of " The Visitors," and, referring to parliamentary De form, the hon. gentleman expressed his belief that it must come. He asked, however, how it was possible for the present eovernment to bring in a reform bill leann its members were bitterly hostile to reform in the last SW' sion. The conduct of the conservative party towards Mr. Gladstone was disgraceful to the House of Commons. He hoped that, the liberal party would go to parliament, when it met in • few weeks, much more united than they were last year. He believed the son servative party was on its last legs. Referring to Ur. Read's views on the reform question, Mr. °aglow said the effect of any proposal for taking populous towns and borough freeholders out of counties would be only to increase the Power of the landowners, and it would deserve to meet with the strenuous opposition of the liberal party. Touching seat upon the malt tax question, the hon. gentleman ridiculed the idea of Mr. Disraeli repealing the tax, although Mr. Disraeli would have a surplus of 2,000,0101., thanks to Mr. Gladstone's financial measures. The only man who could repeal the malt tax was Mr. Glad stone, and he was willing to do it. (Hear, hear.)

Tile EVER DEFENVE FCNI) IN CZYLON.—We read in the C'elonaho U6serrer of December :1:—" A very injudicious and uncalled for move lies been made in Ceylon in favour of the Eyre Defence Fund. Whoever drew up the declaration which beads the subscription was guilty of an impudent insult to the natives of this island in sup posing they would take part in a move the real object of which is to secure impunity to a colonial governor for any amount of illegal shootings, hangings, whippings and burning', provided the objects of cruelty and lawlessness are only black fellows—Niggers.' It is the more absurd inasmuch as the home committee of the Defence Fund, in advertising for subscriptions, called ouly upon ' English. men.' The document, too, is untruthful. The prosecution is not a vindictive one. There is no desire anywhere to ace Eyre hung. What is sought for is the vindim lion of the principles of hum.mity and constitutional law—from the violation of which it is quite possible that some of the Ceylon subscribers may . suitor before their career is closed. And the private individual' who have taken up the prosecution because successive governments refused to initiate it, are not overruling the calm and de liberate judgment of the royal commis. liners, but currying that judgment to what would have been its inevitable con clusion, but for the political considerations involved. The object is not to punish Eyre for doing his duty, but to obtain a decision which shall be • warning to all future rulers not to recklessly abuse the power entrusted to them for purposes of impartial justice by using it in the interests of mce, prejudice, or private revenge.
