METROPOLITAN NIMBUS AND ram CONSTITUENtS. LORD FERMOY AND MR. HARVEY LEWIS. Yesterday evening Lord Fernley, M.P., and Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., met • large number of they con stituents at the Vestry-hall, Si. Panama to deliver ad- Arenas having reference to the measures of the last and approaching sessions. The chair was taken by Mr. W. DOUGLAS, who, in a brief introductory speech, referred to the question of metropolitan railway schemes as one in which the borough of Muylebone is newt deeply interested, sad on which it required the best assistance of ite retinue- Wives in parliament. Lad FZinGT, who was received with cheers ' after ob serving that he and his colleague addressed their con- Mimeo' rt the end of the lent sumo, and then met with an approval of their conduct, said they were now on the eve of a session which was doubtlem fraught with eveots of the greatest importance ' both in a political ao,l w & metre politan point of Tito. As regarded political metiers, the question which pressed most on the public mind at present was the state of the foreign reletious of this country. (Hear, bear.) They all knew how serious a step it aau for country do embark in war ; and, suffering as they were from the folly of their ancestors in that respect, the English people would wisely hesitate to urge this goverurnent to take any step tending in that direction. (Cheers.) He had himself always been impressed with the importance of the principle of neutrality or nos-interventioe, and he believed that a more prudent policy was never adopted by any ministry than that of Lord Palmerston and hie eollsegues in relation to the American question. (auellitm) Every day showed the wisdom of that policy. It was now rothifest that by interfering in soy way in Undisturbed affairs of America, this country, 14111.14 of making things better, would have made them worm. (Hear, hew.) Moreover, how different would have been its poritiou, if now that it ass obliged to prepare for war in the East. it had been carrying co war in the West. He had therefore felt it his duty to support the governmeut iu resisting the premise to interfere in American affairs. He also thought they were right in carry ing out in its integrity the Toreign Enlistment Act, and preventing the swam-rams from leaving Liverpool (Cheers.) It would, indeed, have bees smock neutrality, a sham non intervention to allow any uatiou to fit out vessels of war to be used against another nation with which this country professed to be on terms of amity. Whilst he would apply the principle of neutrality and Boa-intervention to the East as well as the West, he could not look at the present state of affairs in Europe without great doubt end apprehension. It was the fashion now-a-days, in speaking of the Slesseig•Holatein question, to say that there was something difficult sad mysterious about it. Ile was not pin to =Let • lecture upon them, but the question seemed to him a very simple cue. In 1852 Hosea, Prussia, Austria, France, and Eng land, and, so far as their opinions could be aseertained, all the other powers of Europe, thought it foe the iuterest of Metope and of the world that Denmark should hold • thormprtamatlythindepeose ctiodunentliesposition, agreed arid, acting treatyactinro on that log to Denmark • free and independent position. is the comes of events parties interested in the Germanic Confederation Lad thoeght fit to take advantage of an opportunity for endeav ouri ng to impair the independence of Denmark. He did not want to. go into the question of morganatic marriages, or any of those questions which law yers were so unmade to discuss, especially when paid for doing it. (Laughter.) The questioo as between nation sad nation, was whether it was for the safety and advantage of Europe that Denmark should be free and independent. (Hear, hear.) 11 appeared that some of the contracting parties to the treaty had changed their minds—that Austria and Prussia (he put aside the small German principalities) were now impressed with the value and importance of what they termed the principle of nationality. if either of those powers saw so much value to the principle of nationality they might apply it at horns. (Cheers). [(Amnia believed iu its value, shat was she going to do fur Youth'? (Rear, hear.) What was she going to do for Hungary, or for Galicia ? (Hear, hear.) If Prussia believed in it what would she do with Posen, or would she drop from her iron claw that portion of Poland which she now gripes! (Hear, hear.) What, moreover, had she to say with regard to her Rhenish provinces! If the principle am to be applied to Denmark, why should it not be to the other nations who were so anxious to apply it to her? (Leer, bear.) With regard to their interest in this question, he was not, as they saw by hie opening sen tence on this suloect, one of those who were anxious to meddle ;ti other lieople's busier.; but Denmark had claims upon them for sympathy, at all events, and for advocacy. Denmark was as ancient ally of England ; she was, like this country, a maritime State, more powerful by sea than by land, arid she was in proportion to her means • good cla imer for British manufactures ; and England Laing a party to the treaty of if 52 was bowel, iu his opinion, to do what elm could—he meant diplomatically—to see faithfully ful filled the treaty to which she had pieced her signature. As regarded the other States who were contracting parties to the treaty, he thought the majority of them would see fit to unite with Enelonsi in remonstrating with the Germanic Confederation as to their present conduct and be trusted that the matter would end in that way, without war. But upon Austria acid Preemie now lay a heavy responsibility for the step which they were taking. (Hear, hear.) They were inters-Meg ; the tramp of armed men was DOW resounding over Europe at their dictation, and by their command ; and upon them, he repeated, rested the responsibility of cosh conduct. Let a shot once be fired in anger, whether on one side of the river or the other, let the sword be once drawn in the present quarrel, and no ma present could foresee the end of the war which would thee have been commenced. (Hear.) At all e veuts they might ;rest assured that the two States whose conduct led to it would be, as they ought to be, the first to suffer for the step which they had taken. (Loud cheers.) If Denmark IMO dismembered, he would not mve • fig for the chance of the Austrian empire holding together ; and leas still would be give fur the present position of the Ring of Prussia, who, having a quarrel on constitutional grounds to settle with his own people, would probably rather enter ce • foreign war t h an yield what was justly due to his own subjects. (Cheers.) In the present serious aspect of European politics it was nowt gratifying to him, as be thought it moot be also to the metro°, that there was at the bead of affairs a stamina* of inch great experience, particularly in foreign affairs—one who mind with the wisdom of years the vigour of youth in his beart—(Oners)—aud lib° had never been accused by his bitterest enemy or forgetting for one moment the interests of his country. (Renewed cheers.) He would row proceed to say a tow words with regard to affairs at home. With respect to the invasion of the metropolis by railway com puter. the noble lord observed that there were about • sthtioes to be brought before parliament It would puzzle even the wisdom of parliament to make • proper selection ' and in his opinion the beat course which the government could pursue was to appoint • royal menniasiou which would hug them all up fat the present, and after due inquiry report which of them, if any, would, it adopted, be likely to prove most beneficial to the public. (Hear, hear.) As to parliamentary referee as all parties professed to be in favour of it, there must be r sham somewhere, seeing the. nothing was done ; and he was not sure that there was rot more or less of sham amongst thou clime who would most benefit by reform. If the people wanted reform they must agitate for it. They could not expect his colleague and him self, god others in the same position, and bold ing tee same views, to have any weight in the House of Commove. unless they were properly hacked out of doors. (Hear, hear.) As to retreechment, it might be said that it European affair' remained io any this's like show proems% position, there would be great difficulty is carmine out sack an object; but be believed that retrench ment might be effected to • very greet extent without impairing in one iota eitherof the services, or lessening in the sl , ghtest degree the power of England. (Rear. bear.) A word here in reference to asurtoonartial—a subject which had of late occupied so much public atteutiou. Is this country when a ma had been tried and so quitted he had very properly the benefit of his acquittal, but there was • general =pregame, be believed, in the public mind tLat the present system of trial by court-martial was not a sound, a safe, or a cheap one, and that the video( justice had not bees attained in the case of the Lilleys. (Hear, hear, sal cheers.) He thought it was due to s noble service which was ever ready to defend the country that that system should be altered, sad be bad co doubt that in the approaching session some attempt would be made to alter it. (Cbeers.l Another question which had latterly engaged public attention was the pre. meet mode of dealing with oosdemaed criminals. (Hear, bear.) It must be clear to the mind of es ery man who bad watched, the Townley case that the law ought not to remain in its provost state. (Loud cheers.) The Secretary of Site for the Home Departomt, be he who he might, ought mot to remain is Lis present position as respected con demned criminals. (Rear, hear.) With regard to that safer/Linen ma who was recently seer within a few days after the crime which he eormitted—he might almost say without trial—before his Maker to be joked, he mast say that anything more horrifying than that case was sot only sever witeeveed, but had never been read by him at land is &Con. (Rear, hear.) Thu was, he !mew, • delicate subject to deal with ; it was difficult to deal with it without seeming to place one's finger on the monies, or saying some- Shoo; that might be misinterpreted. The questue mast conic before parliamat the feet that the criminal belonged to the humbler classes wade it agomery that some oxplenation should be gives by the government on that awful and horrible subject. (Hear hear.) The noble lord thou alluded ii spaitlullitery terms to the recent royal birth, and expressed a hope that the auspicious sweet would prove an aneviation of the sorrow of her Majesty, concluilino with the following words from an old Sixes ballad as 111 his omuiou appropriate to such an OeCatimi " Let us ring ' God eave the King' From every church and steeple, Yet while we ring' God eave the Bing' We'll tot forget the people." —(Loud cheers) Mr. HAIM Livia commenced bT alludiog to the bills el the last eesaion, of which he said 1:1i were public aid 256 private, and with regard to some of whirl' the members for that borough were coestantly receiving important coat. wieeigntleau After justifying his opposition to the CP7for purchasing the Ethibitioo building e. z o l or Removal Bill, and Lord Rai-sham% It for Bill, he referred to the Yetroprditan Turnpike Abolition Act. That act he said, provided for t►e aboli tion a/ ;CI Sonijaisa aad 66 midi, bars ea the north side al WIMP THE EXPRES S ft WIMP/ EVENING, JAiItTARY .111.11 , 18114: • the Thames, and relieved 51 miles of road; and he sue sada la intredociag a clause which compelled the men talism' ef roads . to deliver them up io a good Sete of repair. He also • clause Loved uced into the Telegraphs Bill which would sevent the roads from bong tot up without the consent of the vestries. As regarded lastropo litmus railways he did not 1411 why the inhabitants of Tottenham-court-road and Oxfordatreet should be injured for two or three years in order that • • pima en arriving from the country at Kiage-eirom might proceed thence by underground railway to the South Western er some other terminus. (Cheers.) As regarded the memos of the coming session, he strongly .advonded a redaetioa of the insurance duty from 3s. to la., and expressed his belief that the public revenue would with such a reduction soon be recouped. He hoped that the sugar duties would also undergo a reduction. He approved of the course pursued by the government with respect to the proposed congress, while in relation to Poland he thought it would bare been mach better if the goverment bad not interfered, and thus mused Ituasia to tell them, in effect, to mind their own business. The recall of such a valuable public servant as Sir Janice Hudson he thought required explanation. Ho =Harvey Lewis) approved of the cession of the Icahn (A Voice : •• What about oarna Oe that subject he thought what had maned was much to be re gretted ; brit if it should torn out that the British filet was first fired upon, the case would be vary much altered. It should be recollected that England was a peat trading country, and that her trade &molded for is prosperity on the enterprise of her sons ; and if the pioneers of her com merce were not protected against murder, whether from • civilised or a barbarous people, England's gumshoes would be gone. (Cheers.) Proceeding to the Danish question, the boa. gentleman said be thought it depended very much no article 3 of the treaty of 1832, which wee as follows "It is expressly understood that the rights sad obligations of his Majesty the King of Denmark and of the Germanic Coufederation concerning the Duchim of Holstein and Lanenburg —right, and obligations established by the Federal Act of 1815—shall Dot be affected by the present treaty.' From that it would appear that the present King of Denmark was hound to perform what devolved upon him ae a member of the Germanic Confederation. He (Mr. Harvey Lewis) would not, however, express any opinion on the subject, except to say that he thought the whole matter had better be referred to the metaphysical schools of Ger many and left there for fifty yews to come. (Laughter.) As regarded the American woe, he agreed with his colleague that it was their duty as • mon to preserve a strict MU- Utility. On this subject there was one little pato of com fort, and only one—namely, that let the war terminate how it might, slavery must be at once and for ever abolished. (Cheers.) In his onoludirtg remarks the hon. gentleman alluded, aa hie colleague had done, to the recent birth of a prince, and said be hoped one result of it would be that her Majesty would throw off the deep gloom which had effected her, and once more come amongst her subjects, who were all ready to receive her with loyal arms and to give her that hearty welcome she so well deserved. .(Great eMring.) Mr. COLLLKS, after vaddeg of the Injustice inflicted at present on many London tradescw by metropolitan rail waybills, on account of the inadequacy of the law aa re gards compensation, inquired whether Lord Fermoy and Mr. Harvey Lewis were prepared to do what they could to remedy that defect! Lord PLIIMOT replied that he would give all the support in his power to an O p eration of the Leads Clauses Coneoli &Soo Act which would hays a Massey to cause • mere just appreciation of the property damaged, whether in business or in any other way, by the cony* of sadwaya through the metropolis. Mr. HAI/V ET 1.141.1 gave a similar ly. On the motion of Mr. Course, seconded by Mr. Timm, a molutieu was unanimously passed by which the meeting declared itself folly satisfied with the parliamentary con duct of the two member& .4711-I,Axcusa Las insnais. • Cllttertk.L 8i11,1117 The weekly meting d the ma y. xeiv amenities wan held at Masslieeler Sir J.

A meeting of the geaeral committee of the Feed for the Belief of Distrito in the Manufactruing Districts was bald subse quently, at which the report of the executive committee wan adopted. The following is as extract from it : "Your committee has striven to promote the intentioes of the legislature in pasting the Public Works Act. It ;Mrhowever, to state that up to January 16th only cotton operatives were employed on these weeks. in addition to the muses of delay in carrying this act into execution, which were ennesented in its last report, your executive committee is informed by Mr. /tonneau that the relief expected from the act has been postpooed by the fol lowing c_retimstawas. The eskeitioa, by the local authori ties, of works suitable for the employment of unskilled Wearers has sometimes been difficult —plus, specifications, and estimates have had to be prepared, and often by an in adeqnate staff of local officers ; plant and materialshave had to be provided; and, is some few districts, which hest for the first time adopted the Local Government Act and appointed a local board, the whole orachiaery of local administration hes had to be creste d. The lendable anxiety of soma corporations and local relief committees to overcome all obstacles to tb. Immediate settle( of osemployed cotton workmen oo such works, has led_topisapprehansion as to the powers of the cosporatione end other local authorities, and as to the reletieits of the local relief smommittees to then bodies. Your executive oomasittee has pointed out that the lams granted under the Public Work. Act provide capital which is to be cued to racemes employment for wages primarily for the labouring and manufacturing cleans, eocirdieg to the ordinary Mo ttoes of master and servant; sod thus, by an increased de mand for labour, to redoes indigence, and to promote works of public utility and sanitary improvement. But that theme loans would be perverted, if they were, under any digitise or on say plea, to be employed otherwise than 11111 wages, or for stilled superintendence, or in the purchase of =Aerials. No Clara hie a meter interest is the mein trainee of a distinctive between wage@ sod relief them the population supported by menial labour. For these runes your executive committee hes met, with reiterated and firm remonstrance, any departure from whet it bee rii• . . gardel to be the principle; iniolved in the Pablo Works Act. On the 7th December it adopted the following reso lutions :—• L. That the works of public utility which are toles executed under the Public Works Act are intended to vide employment with wages, primarily for opwadYes thrown out of employment by the embarreasment of the cotton trade ; that such works are to in all respects under the direction of the town councils and other boards ret forth in the act, and in no ems under that of relief committees ; and that it is not within the scope sad intention of the act that any relief committee should set men on such work, and pay them either according to the scale of relief or the usual isle of wages. 2. That this committee cannot therefore sanction, except forthe first month or six weeks, meet tortilla the maatial, the girls; of relief for the employment amen on ;albite Works, for which a loan has been obtained under the set of the lest maim al parliament" These resolutions were published and forwarded to the various relief com mittees. Your committee considers the principles at stake of inch public importance that it would be com e matter for WACKY consideration, whether it would be justified in 's trutting funds to any committee which. after due warning, deteemined to interfere with what this committee conceives to be the principle of the Public Works Act by beernalsg to a diversion of the public loss from wages to relief. Public Works Act was, Ia the opinion of your nom mines, intended to absorb in municipal and sanitary im provements the labour of as many unemployed operatives as, attar reasonable training, could earn the ordinary wages of oat-door labour at such work. Sock operatives either cannot find work on these improvemesta, or are physically incapable of earning ordinary wages by oat-door labour, are the peculiar charge of the relief committees. For such men the relief coos , mitt's' are encouraged to the utmost by yam executive committee to adopt a ' Scheme of labour by paying for work done by the hour, at the meal rate, and not requir leg more hours' work than will enable the workman to make his labour and that of his family equal, et that rate per beer, to the scale of relief intended to sustain health.' If in the seleotioe of such work and its management there be no Interference with the labour market, the adjustment of the scheme to a relief scale makes it free from *anion. To snow -age the general employment et able-bodied men sad youth on such outdoor labour, when net set oil improve. inria wader the Public Works Act, your committee has, for many 'moths, paid the wages of the superintendents of such labour, and it is reedy to support such plans of labour by any other reameahle help.

EQUITY OOURTS.—Jew. 25. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) 11! as BOYCE-1N LMIACY. I This was ea appliestion to appoint a mew trustee in the pyee of the present trustee, who wee of impound mind. The appliestson was nude to the Lords Justices, and by them referred to the Lord Chancellor. • — ivelordship,h;vcniiiTii.¢ . time to consider the case, gave judgment this morning. The Lord Chancellor—ne question which arises in this potation is whether. new trustee can be appointed under the act 13th and 14th Victoria, and subsequent statutes. The testator by his will, after appointing Ma wife and a trustee named Boroe now • prom unsound mind, to be the executors of its ;rill, devised his real estate onto hie wife for life, but in the event of her second marriage he gave her only • rent charge thereon, and directed his said trustee to invest the surplus of the rents and profit" which should be re maining after the rent charge. Upon the death of his wife he directed the trustee to sell the real estate. With regard to the ooaditas of the aide and power to execute such an instrument as would be requisite to ppausss the estate, I am given to understand that two di ties presented them selves to the minds of the Lords Justices, upon which they did not pronounce a definite opinion ; namely, whether the median sufficient to give the trustee the estate by impli cation, so as to enable him to convey, and whether the awe falls within the provisions of the statute. The inclination of my opinion is that the words in the bill are sufficient to g in, the trustee power to sell and convey. Then, again, I am of opinion that the case falls within the statute, if the court deems it right to appoint • new trustee under the circumstances. I cannot but think that the 32nd section of the Trustee Act was introduced for the purpose of providing foe that last mentioned case. Under the will the testator contemplated • new trustee ; he gave a power for that purpose, lint by reason the insanity of the present trustee that power our not be exenieed, and the estate cannot be sold. It is a awe on which it is expedient to appoint • new trustee, but in which it is impracticable to do so without the aid of the Court of Chancery. On these grounds I think the case falls within the statute ; and I feel no hesitation in making the required order. Mr. Cory made the application on which this order was founded.

Then, with regard to its being a mock tactless. all the evidence went to prove was that commissioned brokers who attended the sales were given about 21.

As to fraud with reference to other pictures, evideace was given which I showed that pictures varied very moots is their value. Some of them said that many of the *tares were worth what the plaintiff had gives for them, and many others were nearly equal in value to the sum pa id for them.

The out. missions preaumieg to act under this power had licensed the defendant to have machines upon that pert of the shore of which the plaintiff was lessee, and the defendant having placed the mazhinea there, the plaintiff sued him for trespass. The cue came on for trial at Lewes, when a verdict was entered pro formh for the plair.iff, subject to the special cue, which now OWN os for argument. The question for the opinion of the court was, whether the commissioners bad power to authorise the placing of • machines upon the shore in front of Carlisle parade. kir.

SUSPECTED POISOAING IN THE WEST OP ENGLAND. On Saturday an inquiry took place at Crotch's White Hart Hotel, Hay's, information having been laid against Richard Oke Militia, surgeon, of Penpol, near hay's, charging him with having admiaistered poison to his brother, Jamb Caruow Millet", with intent to cause his death. The accused was present, and Mr. Downing, of Redruth, appeared on his behalf. Mr. Itosoerio, ,of Pea mace. prosecuted. The main facts of the cam, as far es they have yet been elicited, are these :—lt appeals that Jacob Carnow Mitlett, an elderly man, had been living with his brother (the accosed)at Pawl, in the pariah of Phdlack. For nearly a month prior to hie decease he had been suffer ing from a cold. Hu brother bad recommended him to stay at home, but on one or two evenings he went out to go to chapel.

The meeting was much crowded, and the hon. member on making his appear:sacs on the platform was vary warmly received. Mr. FREEMAN, of Camberwell, was called to the chair, and briedv introduced the hon. member. . _ Mr. DOivrox, on rising, was loudly cheered. He said the large meeting before him proved that the people wen not so apathetic on politial subjects as they were by some , parties represented to be. He was not one of those who thought the Let session altogether unprofitable, and he was prepared, at the aloes of :Lis remarks, to answer any questions that might be put to him In respect of the votes he had given in the hones. (Cheers.) With refereed to the future, he regretted to may that neither in horse nor foreign politics could he an anything satisfactory. (Haar.) The question of reform was now treated with derision and contempt in the Hone of Com mons, end he cared not how 1100 A that beam MILS to an end. (Hear.) He had no expectation of any measure of reform proceeding either from eke present goyim:seat or the present House of Commons. (Hear.) Hs coesidend the middle chases were acting ungratefully to the working classes by the attitude they were allowing their uprisen. tatives to take upon the reform question. (Hear.) With respect to foreign politics, he approved of the neutrality ob served by the government on the American war. He was opposed to any war being entered into by this country in reference to the Sleswig- Holstein quastiou, and thought if this constry was compelled to draw the sword, it mold not do better than draw it in favour of Poland. (Land cheers.) If our government had not been prepared to sup- port Poland by force of arms, it ought to have kept de sympathy to itself, and not have raised false topes in the In:aste of ilia gallant Poles. (Loud cheers.) He them re (erred to the cases of Townley end Wright, and expressed his opicion that the execution of the !attar wee a judicial murder—(hear)—and it would be his duty to bring this subject before the house in the next session.

Several question were put to the hens. member by elw tore, the most important of which were, whether he was prepared to vote for the abolition of capital punishment, and is favour of the permissive bill.
