The speech delivered by Mr. Gh.dstone at the dinner of the Society of Political Economy is pub lished here this evening. The orator declared that the credit of having effected commercial reform belonged to the Emperor Napoleon and Mr. Cob den. Upon the latter Mr. Gladstone passed a ma n~iticent eulogium, declaring that his aim was not only to counteract the misery of nations, but to effect their moral union. " The mission of our century," said Mr. Gladstone, " is to free capital and labour from all subjection. It may be called the century of labour and justice. Prosperity to energetic labour, and peace to men of good-will— this is the object at which we aim. The secret of finance is very simple. The general riches which have accumulated are the basis of every prosperous condition, and the lever which raises that con dition is liberty." ITALY. FLORID/CII, JAN. 31. in to-day's sitting the Chamber of Deputies ap proved the bill for extending to Venetia certain taxes levied in other parts of the Italian kingdom. The Minister of Pnblic Works presented several bills, including one proposing to convert into Italian Ilento the shares and obligations of some railway and other companies which receive subven tions from the State. The Chamber has adjourned until Monday. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JAN. 31. The Taxis postal administration will be carried on by Prussia from the lst of July, 1867. The serni.official North German Gazette of this evening denies a statement, published here, that the opening of the Paris Exhibition would be ad journed. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. PESTH, J.N. 31. Intelligence from Agram, published here, states that the Anlic Chancellor of Croatia has ordered that the Imperial Patent relative to the reorgani zation of the army shall enter into force in Croatia without delay. The Emperor Francis Joseph is expected shortly at Buda. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 31. It is stated that, in reply to the circular despatch addressed by Turkey to the protecting powers of Greece on the 26th Dec. last, the Russian govern ment has informed the Porte that it is at present unable to judge whether the charges brought against Greece can be maintained ; but that, in any case, efforts shall be made to prevent any further violation of international law. The Russian government is, however, of opinion that nothing short of a magnanimous initiative on the part of the Porte itself can put an end to continually exist ing conflicts, and reconcile the interests of Turkey with the sympathies of the Greeks. THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 31. The return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day shows the following changes coin. pared with that of last week : Imas.ass. Cash in hand . . . . fr. 5,000,000 Bills discounted . . . Notes Private accounts . . . DICIZASE. Advances Treasury balance . . . AMERICA. By the arrival of the Saxonia at Southampton last night we have New York advices to the ult. The following is Mr. Reuter's summary of the news to that date: The Senate has posed the bill imposing additional limits to the President's appointing power. Mr. Sumner, in a speech in the Senate, alluded to Mr. Johnson as an usurper and a monster of discord. A Washington journal, which is looked upon as the organ of President Johnson, publishes an article declar isg that if the radical majority in Congress continue their treasonable course, the executive government will arm its supporters. The President, it says, will not forget his oath to defend the constitution, and the army and navy will respond to his call. It further declares that Presi. dent Johnson will serve out his term of Mike. Secret revolutionary societies are reported to be orga nising in North Carolina. The Fenian trials at Toronto continue. Several of the prisoners have been found guilty, but their sentences have been deferred. MEXICO. Intelligence from Mexico announces that the impe rialists under Mejia were marching against Dapple°. It was reported that a French column, 1,000 strong, had been surprised by an ambuscade near San Juan, losing its arms and 230 prisoners. Corona, with 3,000 men, was marching to intercept a French column bound for San Blas. General Basaine had lamed a circular announcing to the French troops their intended withdrawal, but inform ing them that they had the option of enlisting in the service of the Emperor Maximilian. ARRIVAL OF LIEUTENANT BRAND.—Lieutenant Brand was among the passengers by the West India mail steamer Seine, which arrived at Southampton yesterday. THE FIRE ON BOARD THE SHIP KNIGHT COM PANION.—Tbe ship Knight Companion, Watt, from Cal cutta, which arrived off Blackwell on Wednesday, was hint found to be on fire off the Bill of Portland. The hatches were at once secured, ►nd on the ship reaching the Downs throe steamtugs were hailed to tow her up to Gravesend. Off Deal Captain Watt sent information of the outbreak to the owners by telegraph, and on her arrival at Gravesend they hoarded her, in company with Captain P. Bennett. Two of the ste.tintugs were then made fast alongside, and from their boilers pipes were in troduced through the ship's deck, and volumes of steam were ejected in and among the burning cargo, which evidently was close under the maindeck midships, portions of which were almost burnt through. This was continued till 9 o'clock on Tuesday night, when the hatches were opened to ascertain the effect of the steam on the burning cargo, when, to all appearance, the fire was extinguished. The hatchways were then replaced, and the ship was towed to Purfleet, where she anchored for the night, and everything appeared safe below. Oa Wednesday morning the ship was got underweigh, and was towed to Black well, but soon afterwards the cargo again burst out in flame. The smoke being observed on shore, Captain Hussey, dockumeter of the East India Dock, and Lieu tenant Sheppy, superintendent of the Dock Fire Police, hastened off to the ship with • steam floating engine. A telegram was also sent to London for further aid, and shortly Captain Shaw, the chief of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, arrived with • floating engine and a strong corps of firemen. Fortunately the fire was again soon suppressed. Immediate steps were then taken to pump the water out of her. There was five to seven feet of water in her, and the ship was drawing 24 feet of water at her moorings. Gangs of men were also employed to discharge the ship, and by yesterday morning all the burnt debris of the cargo had been got out of her, and the damage proved not so great as was at first expected. The ship will go i n t o Vic toria Dock to-day to discharge the remainder of her cargo. The revival of the " tribune " is in itself a mat- I to of small importance, bnt, as M. E. de Girardin says, it is very significant as a symptom of a radical change in the Emperor's views. Some years ago the Duke de Morny, making himself the organ of several deputies, pressed his Majesty to restore the tribune, but met with a flat refusal. There was then in the imperial mind a stab- 1 stantial connexion between the tribune and that parliamentary government which he had hoped to have for ever put down. It is, as things stand, a question of acoustics more than anything else. The building in which the deputies assemble was constructed with a view to the tribune, and many members, however oratorically gifted, cannot make themselves well heard from their seats. It appears to have been lost sight of that while more important reforms may beyond doubt be made by imperial decree, a Seuatui tionsultum will be ne cessary to establish this. It is one of the organic coup (filet laws that no member can speak except from his place. In any other point of view than the acoustic one the revival of the tribune is a concession to a very absurd prejudice. Roman consuls spoke from tribunes because they addressed multitudes in the open air, but it is much more rational in a deliberative assembly that members should speak from their seats as they do in England, instead of getting up into a pulpit. How ever, the tribune is a sign of the times—and, as things go, a good one. The French Post-office has refused to pay a sum of 3,000 fr. contained in a declared "letter," on . whom an ad valorem premium was paid, which was lost in the shipwreck of the Borysthbne, bound for , Algiers in December, 1863. The tribunal of First Instance has given a verdict for the Post-office on the ground that its contract with the public in such cases does not extend to losses by via major. The public fancied that when the Post-office took its premiums of assurance all risks were covered. A letter from Rome in the Etendard attributes the following speech to the Pope concerning four English statesmen : I like and I understand Lord Clarendon—l also lilts but I do not understand Mr. Gladstono—l always under stood but never liked the Duke of Argyll—but I neither like nor understand Lord Russell. Mr. Gladstone, before leaving Paris, passed an evening with Prince Czartoryski, at the Hotel Lambert. It was rumoured at the Bourse that M. Duchey lard, the commissary of police of the Rue de Vivienne, had arrested five or six individuals, among whom were a merchant and a financier, hitherto considered respectable, on a charge of having forged notes of the Bank of Hayti. The Bonne was rather firmer. Rente rose 15c. for cash and fic. for account, closing at 69fr. 20c. and 69fr. 10c. In other securities there was little change, except Credit Foncier, which fell 32fr. 50c. DEATH OP MR. BA RR Y, N. P. —The Cork JEcossiner of yesterday announces the death of Mr. C. R. Barry, M.P. for county Cork. PARK-LANE.—The following communication in reference to a proposal for saving the metropolitan rate payers from 90,010. to 130.000/. in the improvement of the southern end of Perk-lane has been addressed to some of the principal inhabitants of the locality concerned : " Gentlemen , - You are probably aware that plans have been deposited at the House of Commons by the Metro politan Board of Works fur the improvement of the road way at the southern end of l'ark -lane, at an estimated cost of 100,0001., but which their architect thinks may cost 150,0001., and that the ' declaration' states tho ex penile is to be borne by the various metropolitan parishes. Having matured • plan for the formation of this road way, which I feel confident can be executed for nearly one-tenth the cost of that proposed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, at the nine time that • much more satis factory improvement will be effected, I have forwarded a letter and plans to that body explanatory of my views. It has occurred to me that, as your district is so materi ally interested in this improvement, you may feel desir ous of expressing an opinion as to the advisability or non advisability of carrying out my suggestion, and I conse quently take the liberty of forwarding you herewith a lithograph of the two plans, and a copy of my letter to the board in explanation thereof. I shall be happy to forward you any further copies that may be desired.— I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, H. SAxON SNELL.-3G, Chancery-lane, W.C., Jan., 1867." _ _ _ . EAST LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY. —The third report of the directors of this company states that the pro gress of the works on the south side of the river has been satisfactory ; but that on the north side delays have arisen in obtaining possession of the property required for the line which have prevented their bring proceeded with so rapidly as they expected. The directors, however, believe that these delays will not be ultimately prejudicial to this company. An application has this year bftn made to parliament by an independent company for an wet to authorise the construction of a line lg mile in length, by which a junction will be effected between the East Lon don, and the South London and Crystal Palace High Level lines, and to give to the East London Railway Com pany running powers over the South London and Crystal Palace line. THE OPENING OF THE PARIS EXHIBITION. —The exhibitors at the building in the Champ-de-Mani are beginning to arrive in Paris, and are flocking to the offices to claim the spaoe allotted to them ; the distribution of surface is not, however, yet terminated. An opinion is consequently prevalent that the date for opening, fixed for the let April, will have to be postponed ; but the con trary affirmation is firmly made by the Imperial Commis sion.—Oalionani. THE AERIAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—This oompany appear to be going a-head in the completion of their air carnage, the first exhibition of which, according to the San Francisco papers, waa to be made from the Shell-park race-course, towards the end of the last month, so that the next steamer from San Francisco will probably bring us • report of the result of the expenment.— Pa•amw Star. Jan. li. AN AUSTRALIAN Corwramr.—On Saturday, Oc tober 27, • boson' damsel of some twenty-three summers, was • passenger to Maldon, her maternal home, by one of the Maldon coaches, and a stalwart miner, hailing from Cornwall (" near England"), took • seat by her side. They were total strangers to each other, the man being from Rendigo, on the look-out for his brother, and never having been in Maldon before. However, on the journey they en joyed a pleasant chat, and it is to be presumed became mu tually enamoured of each other. At all events, it is a fact that on reaching Malden • whispered conversation took place, and the damsel, instead of going home, took the arm of the swain, and proceeded at once to the resi dence of • minister, who, upon satisfying hims e lf th a t b o th were sane and of.miture age, agreed to tie them up. When called upon for their names for the " marriage lines " the question had to be mutually asked and replied to. The lady then went for the ring, while her lover of an hour gave the necessary information. The ring was got ; and in something less than four hours after meeting for the first time the two were "no longer twain, but of one flesh." The happy pair then departed for Bandigo. —dos tratian paper. Tux PLACE TOR SPORTSMEN. —Wild game has always been found in abundance in the vicinity of Napa, but the present season surpasses any that has gone before since the flood—the flood of 1862 Geese:hi-ants, and honkers are seen in untold numbers on the foothills in the neighbourhood of Carlene, covering hundreds and hundreds of acres, and their gabbling can be beard for miles and miles around. Ducks are so numerous that in their flight overhead during the night they entirely obscure the moon and stars, and the noise produced by their wings sounds like " the rushing of mighty winds." Hundreds are killed by night hunters, and leaving the hen-roosts in di sgus t, the fox and the own alike lick their chops in the anticipa tion of their night's feast, and proceeding to the tule swamps, "lay low for blank ducks." Quail now fro in flocks on account of their numbers, and will no doubt con tinue to do so until spring. Hares are many, and their ears are longer than usual. All other small game in like proportion.—San Francisco paper. TILE PANAMA AND WEST INDIA MAILS The Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain Revett, with the West India, Mexican, Pacific, Australian, and New Zealand mails, arrived at Southampton yesterday with 81 passengers, 986,597 dollars in specie, and 3,154 packages of cargo. She experienced strong westerly winds and heavy seas. The Seine, on her outward passage, only remained at St. Thomas six hours, and she then proceeded to Jamaica. On her homeward voyage she stayed at St. Thomas 24 hours, and sailed on the 16th. She had 14 cases of fever on board, but only one death, which occurred on the 9th instant. Thit Seine has beeii sent to quarantine,and the pas engers were to be admitted to pratique in 48 hours The Panama Star and Herald of the Bth January publishes the following news from Chili : :CHILI. The rumour that Chill bas refused the mediation of England and France in the Spanish question is confirmed. The A lemma of Valparaiso is disposed to accuse the cabinets of Paris and London of connivance with Spain, in trying to bring about a settlement favourable to the latter country. The re-union of the Congress of the South American Republics was attracting attention. The Congress is to meet at Lima, and those republics which have not yet given in their adhesion to the new policy of the league are to be invited. A supplement to the Panama Star and Herald of January 8 gives the following news from Australia and New Zealand : VICTOILIA. The Intercolonial Exhibition has proved a great suc cess, and attracts visitors from all parts of Australia. The wheat harvest has already begun in the northern districts and promises to be unusually large. Sir J. Manners Sutton is steadily winning the good opinions of all classes of colonists. The bulk of the new wool clip has been shipped for England. The White Star, which sailed on Dee. 1, took 6,000 bales—the largest shipment of the season. TASMANIA. The elections have terminated. The majority of the members returned are pledged to retrenchment, to suit the altered condition of the colony in preference to the proposition of the government to meet the expenditure by levying an income and property tax. The government was virtually insolvent, stopped payment on the let ult., and resigned on the 23rd. Their resignation was accepted. Sir Richard Dry has since formed a new ministry. A young salmon, one of those liberated by the Acclimatisa tion Society, who procured the ova from England, has been caught on the coast. I\EIV ZEALAND. Wellington, Dee. S. The war is finally over for this year at least, and the leading rebels have commenced to sue for peace. The principal topic of importance in this province is the pay ment of the purchase money of the Blanawatu block of land from the natives. Hu honour, Dr. FeAtherscone, proceeded to a place named Pahawanui on the 3rd inst., and the money in hard cash, amounting to 30,000/., was advanced by the Bank of New Zealand. The gold news from the West Coast of the Middle Island is highly satis factory. Several new rushes have taken place, and the yield of gold is excellent. THE WEST INDIE S . In Jamaica the event of the fortnight has been the presentation of the budget by the Finan cial Secretary, at a meeting of the Legislative Council on the 31st December. The probable amount of receipt from the existing sources of re venue during the financial year ending the 30th September, 1867, has been estimated at 354,8951., The total expenditure for the service of the year has been estimated at 381,1381., and to thisestimate the sum of 2,000/. has to be added to make good certain instalments to sinking funds omitted in the year ended 30th September, 1866. The pro bable gross amount of expenditure in the year may, therefore, be taken at 384,0381., thus showing a probable expenditure in excess of the probable re ceipts of 16,068/. port%im the other islands the news is without im ce. BISHOP COTTON'S MEMORIAL FUND. It is proposed, in memory of the late lamented Bishop of Calcutta, to endeavour to carry out the object which he had much at heart ; which he had meant to have urged on the English public, had his life been spared to return ; and which was cut short by his sudden death. Those numerous friends and pupils to whom Bishop ' Cotton bad personally endeared himself will, doubtless, gladly join in the attempt to carry out his wishes. Those ' who have an interest in the welfare of India will, it is hoped, gladly seize this opportunity of supplying what is confessedly one of the most crying needs of the Indian empire. It is proposed to make over the fund collected in Eng ' land to the Diocesan Board of Education, established by Bishop Cotton in 1859 (consisting of some of the principal residents and clergymen of Calcutta), which has under taken the charge of a similar Memorial Fund set on foot by Archdeacon Pratt in Calcutta. The Memorial Fund in India is to be devoted to the endowment of the Hill Schools, and to the general assistance of schools in the plains, for the children of poor Europeans and those of mixed race. It is the desire of the Committee for the Me morial Fund to be collected in England, to provide, at least in the first instance. forthe endowment of the three schools in the Hills (viz., Simla, Mussoorie, and Darjeeling), according to the design of Bishop Cotton, as expressed in the foregoing report. It is for these that an endowment is absolutely essential. The sum needed for the endow ment is 50,000!. It is hoped that whatever is contributed from private sources may be doubled by the Indian go- vernment. What the bishop had collected before hie death amounted to about 8,0001. Therefore what remains to be collected is about 17,0001. Of this it may be ex pected that at least one-half may be supplied from the Memorial Fund in India. The remaining half, viz., 8,504 W., is what Bishop Cotton's friends hope to see raised in Eng land. With the foundation of these schools his memory is specially connected ; and it would be the desire of the committee, in making over this fund to the administra tors of the similar fund in India, that these institutions shall bear the name of Bishop Cotton's Schools. Any sum in excess of that which will be required for the en dowment of the Hill Schools, will remain at the disposal of the Diocesan Board, to aid in the establishment or im provement of schools for the same object in the plains. THE CATALOGUES Or THE PARTS EX HTBITION.— The following circular has been issued :—" As consider able misunderstanding appears to exist concerning the various catalogue, which are in course of preparation, the British executive deem it expedient to give to the British exhibitors the fullest information in their power. The following is a translation from an official notice in the Moniteur of Jan. 19, 1867 :—' The Imperial Commission has received several letters asking for information as to the publication of catalogues relating to the Exhibition. Each foreign commission will have the right to publish the catalogue of the exhibitors of its own country ; but there will be only one general catalogue, which will be published by the Imperial Commission. The contract for this cata logue has been assigned to M. Dentu, who, with the authorisation of the Imperial Commission, has ceded to Messrs. J. M. Johnson and Son, of London, the exclusive right of inserting in the general catalogue advertisements from persons living in Great Britain, and the exclusive right of translating, publishing, and selling throughout the exhibition building, the said catalogue in the English language.' By this notice, it is plainly seen that, although there will be only one general catalogue winch, will be pub. listed by M. Dentu, yet that each country is at liberty to publish a catalogue of its own productions. The catalogue of the British section of the Paris Exhibition will be pub lished tinder th is authority, and, as will be seen from the fol lowing extraeta, it will, by permission of the Imperial Commission, be translated into other languages .—Extiact from a letter from the Imperial Commission, addressed to the British Executive Commission, dated August 4. 1866 —` It is well understood that, following the excellent to- ' dition of former exhibitions, the different nations are at liberty to publish special catalogues in one or more languages.' Extract from a letter dated Dec. 19, 1866: ' Her Britannic Majesty's Commission will publish a cata logue in several languages of the products exhibited in the English section, and will be at liberty to sell it in that section without any payment. In order to sell the same catalogue in the rest of the palace and in the park of the Champ de Mara, the British Executive Commission will consent that the name of M. Dentu shall appear as pub lisher on the covers of the entire edition, and that he be entitled to &commission of 2'i per cent. on the selling price.' Paris Offices, South Kensington Museum, January 28, 1867." WRECKS NEAR BoULOGN E.—Our Boulogne cor respondent, writing yest-rday, says :—" A Dutch schooner, the Olga, Captain Hatje, from Jamaica to Hamburg, went ashore during a gale last night at Andres 'elle., 15 miles north of this port; crew saved. An English three•masted ship also went ashore 12 miles south of this port." The first subscription concert of the season took place last night, the performance of January 5 having been given specially for charitable purposes, Las recorded by us at the time. We have on many occasions borne glad testimony to the exceptional excellence of Mr. Leslie's choir in all the beat qualities of choral performance—in the freshness of the voices, unwavering intonation, the alternate lights and shades of piano and forte, and that oonsentaneous fusion of style which resembles the intense expression of • refined individual artist rather than the combined efforts of many performers. Such result, can only be obtained from a body of executante of general as well as musical intelligence, animated by • love of the art for its own seke, apart from its mere pro fessional exercise. Such are the causes that have led to ! the excellence of the German choristers, as specially ex emplified by the Berlin " Domebor," and the Cologne choir, and generally by the choristers of the principal German opera houses—a most important feature in stage music, and one which has been hitherto much neglected in London performances. Mr. Leslie's choir, therefore, cannot fail to exercises powerful and valuable example as showing what can be accomplished by English choristers, and also in affording opportunities for hearing, among other works, the madrigals of the old English composers sung with • perfection which cosh' scarcely ever have been un pinned, if it has been equalled. Lose nigbt's programme contained four such specimens—Puroell's "In these de lightful pleasant groves ;" Morley's "My bonny lass," which, although dated 1595, is as fresh and as tittle anti quoted as though • modern composition ; Wilbye's "The Lady Origins" (1603), a masterly piece of part-writing ; and Saville's quaint madrigal, " The Waits" (16111). These old and standard pieces, however, bore but a small (too small) proportion to the number of modern madrigals and part-songs introduced, some for the first time of performance. The madrigal is a form of musical art that has been so thoroughly wrought out, and is so impressed with the nervous energy and quaintness of its period, that the attempt to reproduce it is as hopeless as would be the endeavour of our present playwrights to cope with the Elizabethan dramatists, Clever as are the efforts of some of our native musicians in this direction, they can be but imitations, most of which will be forgotten long before theold models of which they are reflections. Mr. Leslie contributed to last night's programme two madrigals of his own composition, "Thine eyes so bright," and " My love is fair ;" the latter for the first time of performance—both of them clever Qom , positions, the first having gained the prize at the British Madrigal Society's competition in 1865 ; the other an animated piece of part-writing,which pleased so much as to be redemanded. Several other novelties were also produced —a part-song by Mr. Barnby, "A Wife's Song," is melodious and smoothly written, but the opening is very reflective of Meudelsaohn's lied ohne vcirte in A (in book 3). Mr. Barnby's piece was also among the various encores of the evening. Another novelty was a part-song, " Come live with me," by Pro fessor Sterndale Bennett—a well-written piece of vocal harmony, but without any special interest or character— which may also be said of Mr. H. Smart's " How soft the shades of evening," likewise given for the first time. Mr. Pearsall's madrigal, "Take heed, ye shepherd swains," is one of the best of the many modern imitations of this form, being more thoroughly in the school, and more free from anachronisms of style than is generally the case in such attempts. Other part-songs were included by Pinsuti, W. Macfarren, Waley, and Benedict, in all which the choir exemplified the accuracy of execution and refinement of expression which have given it so special • place among London musical institutions. The solo singers of the evening were Madame Lemmens-Sherrington and Madame Mainton-Dolby ; each of whom sang two songs, and both combined in a new duet of Mr. Leslie's, " The Fan," by far the best novelty of the evening. This piece (in the bolero style) is full of graceful animation and character, and written with an excellent knowledge of vocal effect—it received • general encore and will doubtless became popular. Melanie Sherrington'a most successful solo was Macfarren's charming song, "Ah ! why do we love ? "—another encore—and Madame Sain ton-Dolby'm least successful solo was Arne'. " In infancy," a piece of inane antiquated twaddle, that has no right to a place in a concert programme. Mere worthy of the singer and the occasion was Thomas Lipley's song, "Prim roses deck the bank's greenaide," simple though it be. The remaining vocal solo of the evening was Mr. Sullivan's graceful, but not very original song, " Orpheus with his lute," which Madame Sherrington gave with much re finement. An agreeable variety was given to the vocal music by Osborne's brilliant duet for two pianofortes, on themes from the Hugueno4e—cleverly played by Mimes Austin, and Julia Bennett. We learn by advertisement that a new choral society is in course of formation, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Barnby, organist of St. Andrew's, Wells- street. In addition to the production of works requiring • full chorus, this institution purposes , we believe, to de vote much attention to the performa nce of English glees with a single voice to each part—a feature which will no doubt prove attractive to the many admirers of a school of native music formerly so much in vogue, and latterly so much neglected. Err'Nn FOREST. —Last night the Marquis Town &bend presided over a public meeting held in the Beau mont Institution, Mile.end-toad, for the purpose, as stated in the advertisement, of " taking into consideration the conduct of the government iu permitting the inclosure and destruction of Epping Forest, to take measures to prevent its further inclosure, and to preserve it for the use and enjoyment of the people." Amongst those who occupied seats on the platform were Sir F. Buxton, M.P., and Mr. Shaw Lefevre, M.P. Letters of apology having been read from Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M . P., the Rev. Dr. Hansard, cud other gentlemen, the noble mar quis expressed the pleasure he felt at presiding on the occasion, and in the course of an interesting speech said he considered the question of affording room for the recrea tion of the people of the metropolis one of very great im portance, affecting, as it did, the physical and moral health of the inhabitants of London. He promised to give his best support to any remedial measure that might be introduced in parliament in reference to the question of the preservation of the commons and open spaces around London. Sir F. Buxton moved the first resolution as follows: " That it is of vital importance to the inhabitants of the east end of London to preserve from inclosuro the forest of Epping, which for centuries has been the chief place of their resort for recreation and health, and this meeting views with especial displeasure the recent inclosnres at Loughton, Woodford, and Wanstead." He said that, at the present time, when building operations effected the complete demolition of places hitherto used for recreative purposes, the preservation of Epping Forest, which wa• now the nearest country resort of the labouring population of the east end of London, was • matter requiring the most serious attention. Mr. Johnston seconded the resolu tion, and it was supported by Mr. Shaw Lefevre, M.P. The hon. gentleman referred to the legal complications which affected the right of the public to Epping Forest, and said that if the law in its present state did not favour the claim of the public to be allowed the use of that place, immediate steps should be taken to have it amended. He said he had great confidence in the result of the suit now pending between the inhabitants of Hamp stead and Sir Thomas Wilson, owing to his inciceure of Hampstead-heath. Resolutions urging the formation of a fund of 10,000/. to defray the expenses of ascertaining the right of lords of the manor to melon the waste lands within the forest, and adopting measures to realist illegal inclosures, as well as requesting the Commons Preserva tion Society to communicate with Lord John Manners with reference to the future action of the government respecting the forest were proposed, and carried unani mously. ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL —The annual meet ing of the governors and subscribers of this institution was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. It. Mills in the chair. The report presented was of • satisfactory characterf and congratulated the subscribers upon the fact that, notwithstanding the commercial crisis of the past year, the institution had been so favoured as to maintain its position amongst the great charities of England. The receipts during the year amounted to 7,4701. Iss. 5d., and the expenditure to 9,376/. its. 3d. A special election had been held during the last year, at which twenty orphans whose parents had died of cholera were received into the institution, involving an additional outlay of 2,500/., to wards which only 2,000!. had yet been contributed, and the committee hoped that the deficiency would be made up by the public. The report was adopted, and after the election of 40 children as inmates of the institution, by which the number is raised to 400, the proceedings ter minuted with the passing of the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. BETTING IN LONDON.--TuussoAr. There was not much doing to-day, backers being scarce both in a large and small way. For the Lincoln Handi cap a few trifling investments wets made on Cluittllllll Carol and Beadle, while Mount Palatine would have found supporters had the price suited. Betting on the Cheater. Cup was du ff , 20 to 1 being offered on the field without sr response, and the three or four others mentioned in the quotations were invested upon to a limited extent only. For the Two Thousand Guineas, Plaudit remained at 4 to I offered, but sto 1 would have been taken. Hermit was friendless at 7 to 1, and the only two horses backed were Julius and Marksman, the last-named appearing to be especially in favour. Speculation on the Derby produced some sensational effects so far as the Rake was concerned. In the first place 1,400 to 900 was laid, then 1100 to 100, and finally she offers increased to 9to 1. Marksman was backed at 1000 to 40 ; and the proceedings terminated, showing the following quotations at the close : LINCOLN HANDICAP. 100 to 7 agat ChrtstmaaCazol 100 to 7 agst Monut Palatine (ott, t 100 to n j 100 to 6 The beadle (t! 20 t 1 on the Geld SS to 1 aget Wickes ,ult) 33 to 1 Lecturer (S) 33 to 1 Weather SW ft) ill to 1 tot Newland 1.1 off U to 1 Goobers %off 411 to 1 TM Doke (t) SD GUINEAS. 11 to 1 eget Marksman ,t to 4:15u, 1000 to CA KuWitt of the Garter , 011, t 20 to 1 ,FJIBV. after 1400 to TOO. and SOO to WO TWO THOUSA 4 to 1 apt Plaudit (off. t ball; 7to 1 Hermit aR) 9to 1 Jullactto FAO) 9to 1 art The Rake (;11, had been laW; 1000 to 40 llarksasa ,t) baba[ an Military.

METROPOLITAN DISTRESS COMMITTEE. —The com mittee did not meet yesterday, but the total receipts of the day exceeded 3201. The committee, pursuant to adjourn. meet, will meet this day for the despatch of business. THE DENTAL HOSPITAL.—The annual meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday afternoon, at the hospital, Soho-square, Mr. Edwin Saunders in the chair. The report of the committee of management stated that during the past year upwards of 1.1,000 cases bad been treated in this hospital, and the number of persons seeking assistance was daily inc • . The committee, h regretted that the funds of institution were very low. The receipts for the past year were 6291., and the expenditure was slightly in ex , cess of that amount, so that the hospital was in debt. It , was therefore hoped by the committee of management that the public would aid them in carrying on an ineti t tution productive of such beneficial results, especially to the poor. The report was adopted. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN IN WORE At the usual weekly meeting of the guardians of the Holborn Union on Wednesday evening last, a letter was ' read from Archbishop Manning, requesting that the , children of Roman catholic parents in the workhouse should be sent to certified Rowan catholic schools, in ao cordance with the provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Act of 1861.—Mr. Caswell& moved that the application be granted, and the motion was seconded by Mr. Souther. —An amendment was proposed by Mr. Hanson to the effect that the guardians were prepared to do their duty with eto the Roman catholic children in the workhouse, respect s i rretted by law, and would eutertain any genuine ap plication made by the parents, in accordance with the pro visions of the act of parliament.—The amendment was seconded, and after considerable discussion it was put from the chair, and carried bye large majority. REGISTRAR GENERAL'S QUARTERLY RETURN. — The registers of the United Kingdom show that the of 246,519 children, and the deaths of 157,130 permits of both sexes, were registered in the three months ending on December 31. The marriages of Great Britain in the quarter ending September 30, were 51,286. The return of marriages in Ireland his not been received. The death rate of the United Kingdom is less than that prevailing in England and Wales. The several facts concerning the other divisions of the kingdom are set forth in the reports of the Registrar-General of Scotland and the Registrar- General of Ireland. The resident population of Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland, in the middle of the year 1866, is estimated at about 29,93.5,404. The or. rected death-rate of the quarter is 2.163 per cent. The deaths last quarter were 117,1h7 ; and as the births were 185,010, the balance was in favour of population, and the natural increase 67,e23. The emigration of the De cember quarter from ports in the United Kingdom, where emigration officers are stationed, comprised X 2,909 persons; these being nearly as many as in the same period of 11164, but much fewer than in that of 1863 or Is&i. Of that number about 11,351 were of English, 2,676 of Scotch, 14,666 of Irish origin. Giving round numbers, 26,000 out of the :11,000 were destined to the United States, of whom 7,000 were English, and 13,000 Irish. The main current of emigration being westward, Liverpool was the chosen port of embarkation to 21,000. Only 2,9:4 persons left the Thames. From London and Liverpool emigrants for Aus tralia went in uearly equal numbers. 117,187 deaths were registered in the 92 days ending on the last day of the old year, and the mortality was at the annual rate of 2.184. The mortality is thus lower than the average by .021, and not higher than the mortality of the last summer quarter, when it was raised by cholera in East London. in Liver pool, and in some other towns. The chief charac teristic of the season is the diffusion of cholera ever the remotest parts of the kingdom, and its restricted ravages everywhere except where the peon le are living iu the oren violation of the laws of health. In London 834 deaths by cholera were returned, and in the districts around a small nuniher ; in Godstone Dartford 1, Rochester 2, Lewes 6, Brighton 3, and SOuthampton 2. In the Eastern and South Midland counties the disease is namely noticed ; in Devonshire, Exeter and its environs suffered to some extent ; thus, 8 persona died of the disease in St. Leonard, 30 in Kenton, including 26 in the county lunatic asylum. The S deaths in St. Leonard occurred close to the river Exe, which re ceives all the sewage of Exeter, and is dammed up by • weir at the fatal point. The deaths in the lunatic asylum demand explanation. Teiamouth on the roast had 7 deaths from cholera; Brixham, the fishing town at the entrance of Torbay supplied with had water, 30 ; a email pariah in the Crediton district called ZealMonachoruni, on a tributary of the Tay, 15 ; St. George, in Bed m inster. 12. These isolated outbreaks were render ed fatal by local causes. In the midland counties of the north and west a few deaths are noticed. Tbe returns contain many examples of the efficacy of hygienic measures, and afford strong proofs of the doctrine t ha t if England has suffered less from cholera in the present year than the Continent, or lees than England herself in former years, it is mainly due to changes which all Europe can appreciate and adopt. The mortality in all the country districts of England was at the rate of 19 ; in the town districts at the r..te of 24, in 1,000, but in both town and country below the average in nearly an equal degree. In the divisions the mortality of the quarter way lowest (18) in the eastern and south eastern counties; highest in the northern counties (25), and in Lancashire and Cheshire (27), where the rate ex ceeded that of London (24). RAILWAY ItOUND ASIR. —The railway round Paris, on the left bank of the Seine, is now completed. It has been examined and rawd by the authorities, and ' several esperineutal trams hare traversed it.
