The Paris correspondent of the Times writes : " You are, perhaps aware that a diplomatio agent, M. Billiard, has, within the last few days, sailed for Mexico on *special mission to the Emperor Maximilian, though, if I am rightly informed, he is not bearer of written iartrum twos, but only of a verbal message from the Emperor Napo leon himself. M. &Ward bad only just returned from a mission to Tunis. He was sent for by the Minister of Foreign Affairs sad requested to attend without a moment's delay. On preesstiag himself he was asked whether helms willing and ready to undertake another mission of mor e importance than the last. M. Billiard naturally desired to be informed what sort of miesios it was. On this, however, the minister could not say anything; ell the explanations would be given by the Emperor himself ; and if he consisted he would at awe accompany him to the pressen. M. Billiard signified hie assent, sad proceeded in the minister's carriage to the Palace. He was imme. diately ooedusted by an officer in waiting to the Emperor's Cabinet. Hie Majesty, who evidently expected him, was stone, pacing the room from Inc sad to the other, with his hands behind la back, emelt in the manner of his made, as he is popularly rece's's/eta. end locking anxious, if sot s BMW stem. After a short pause la Mates*. BMA- Mat .he. wasted him t set out without delay for Mexico, with a message from him to the Emperor Maximilian. He was to tell him that he considered he had now fulfilled all the obligations imposed anon him ; that the Mexican throne. raised by the will of the Mexican nation, was, or should be, sufficiently con solidated ; that its enemies were scattered or destroyed ; and, finally, that the time had now arrived when be must depend on his own resources, without the help of a French army. The envoy, of course, amity d his Majesty that he would fulfil the mission to the best of his ability, but he respectfully suggested that it was animal to despatch one on a missioa without written instructions, or, at least, without a simple letter to the personage to whom be warn I seat. The Emperor observed there was no nemmity for any document ; all he had to do was simply to re present to the Emperor Maximilian the °inverse tion which he had just had with him, and that would sulfide. He recommended him, moreover, to lass ' no time in setting out ; he must depart by the next steamer. IL Billiard took his leave. Still troubled at the notion of departing without instructions, he proceeded to the Foreign• office, mentioned that he had no despatch from the Em peror, and hoped that the minister would supply the deficiency. The answer was that, as his Majesty had directly signified his pleasure, he could not give him what he asked far. All he had to do was to ouey the Emperor's commands and repeat to Maximilian the verbal message his Majesty communicated to him. Still, anxious to have a document of some kind from some one, M. S►lliard is said to have applied to another personage who, though not a member of the cabinet, is a functionary of the highest clue, and whose influence a► the imperial court is, on various accounts. considerable. This personage, hearing that neither the Emperor nor the minister had given written instrao. tions to the envoy, declined to interfere. Re lied no official position as a minister, and the office he held, though very high, did not warrant him in giving instructions to me who had been directly instructed, though not In writing, by the Emperor himself. There was no help for it. M. Salliard made his prepar►tions, and set out from Paris the same evening. lam assured that this incident passed nearly as I have described it ; but if it be asked what object was them is sending an envoy to Menke in this way, I maims myself enable to reply. The Emperor Napoleon never does anything without some good and eshetential reason ; what his reason is in the present is. same he himself only knows. lam not gaiter sure that the Emperor in his communiostion with M. Billiard fixed a period for ►be evacuation of Maxim ; but it he did it would be the Ist of Jaasary, 1867." DUBLIN, WIDNESDAT NICHT. William Francis Roantree was convicted this day, and sentenoed to penal servitude for ten years. The prisoner made a violent speech, and concluded by saying, " As an Irishman I appeal against your sentence to my fellow-countrymen, and I pray that the God of Justice may guide and strengthen them in their holy determination." A young man named Patrick J. Heyburne was then put on his trial. The came had not concluded at the rising of the court. Tim 'saw:mous or hums'. Faszcz.—The Debate says in reference to the remark in the French Em peror's speech, that the imititutions of Imperial France reitembla theme of the United States :—" We have no parti cular aversion to the institutions of the United States, and we should like nothing better than to think with the Em peror that our constitational forms resemble those of that great nation. But the more we search for this riisemblanos the more difficult does it beoome for us to discover it elsewhere than in this nisei, respect, that the American ministers do not form a homogeneous cabinet, that they act under the direct authority of the Presideet, and do not go to the Chambers. Os the other hand, the President is elected every four years, and take away his ministers with him ; finally, the Chambers may accuse him, and even depose him if they think it neceusry. We have thus borrowed, if it is to be somented so, use article from the American constitution without, however taking any notice of the guarantees which balance it. We ' h ave a l so , it ma be, said. borrowed from England the immobility of the chief of the executive power and burr &tory monarchy, let without taking amuse of the vial responsibility and the parliamentary government which accompany that immobility and that heredinsay' monarchy. In a word, we have chosen from the two systems that which strengthen the executive power dime everything which diminishes it as eostary to our =amen* and our manners. The bee puts more than an tower ruder cos t r ib u tioe, but from the most dl fled kinds ha su bsets nothing but honey ; it is pretty meek in this manner that our constitution has draws front the we t varied models that same° of authority which is still needs, in order to satisfy ue, to be raised with setae other Nubians% sad properly tempered" LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1866. Sint Arto. THE SOCIETY OF FEMALE ARTISTE. The 1;11e - s - 1;:vei opened their tenth exhibi tion at the Gallery of the Architectural Exhibition, 1 in Conduit-street. The two or three previous exhibitions ' had been given at a room, which they milled their own gallery, in Pall-mall, near to the Institute of Water colour Painters. From this we are glad to find the lady artiste have removed, for it was in no respect well suited for their purposes, unison it were in position, and then it may be a question whether it was not so very elect as to be too much out of the way of the general public. The present locality is more public, and there is a ranch greater advantage obtained in the spacious and well lighted gallery, where the more than four hundred works oontri bated ass much better seen than they ever could have been in the old gallery. We notice some other changes :—in the secretaryship, which hono rary office is now held by Miss M. Atkinson in place of Mrs. Z. D. Murray ; in the reorganization of the society, though precisely to what extent we are net able to say ; and is the considerable additions to the list of patroseress. Po far then the enterprise looks prosperous ; but Violist of men. ben and honorary members wants nearly all the beet names that have won a position for women as artiste, and this strikes as at coos as a sign al material wealorsee either in the society, or perhaps of moral WOSTILIIIIIII on the part of those artists who have distinguished themselves above their fellows. - The present estifbltios is in every respect an improve. mast upon the last ; there are nearly double the number of works, there are several new contributors, and there is more vigour, freshness, and originality to be observed throughout the collection than in the previous exhibition. THE PEEL FAMILY. The infant child of Sir Robert and lady Emily Peal wr christened yesterday enemas at the Royal Chapel, Whitehall, in the primmer of a aster number of friends. Her Malady was represented by the Marchiosese of Ely and the Duchess of Wellington. Mr. Lawrence Peel was the godfather. The Very Rev. the Dean of Wes. astir (the Rev. Jim. Peel, D.D.) officiated, related by the Rev. Mr. Koala Earl Russell, the Chareller of the Eachapser, the Doke and Duchess of Wellington, and a host of friends, ware resent at the eseeroosy. She Robert sad Lady Emily Peel afterwards gave a grand entertainment at their residence in Whitehalliardens. The Queen pre• seated bar godchild with a costly locket, containing some at her Majesty's hair, set with rubies and diamonds, with ibis inseription, " Victoria Alexandrine Julia Peel. from her godmother Victoria IL, Jan, 24, 1866.' The Duchess of Wellington sent a beautiful gold embossed cup with sonic* amanita. The health of her Majesty, proposed by Sir Ronan Pui, having bean drank, The Right Hon. the CrWaitron of the Earning= rose and, addressing the brilliant assemblage, said,—Sir Robert Peel, my lads, ladies, and gentlemen, we have discharged a duty end a pleasure in drinking the previous health, the health of oar beloved Sovereign ; but there is another toast to propose, that of " The health of the infant who has been baptised this day." Sir Robert, you have around you to welcome that child your guests, your relatives, and your friends ; and, in addition, there are many thousands amen( the living in the land now who, if they could Ulm part with us to-day, would offer their beet I wishes and eeriest prayers for the future of your fair child, and also express a fervent desire for the prosperity 'of your family. And I, who discharge this' duty, cannot • but think that many among the honoured and illustrious dead would have been delighted bad it been given them to I partake in this deep pleasure and joy. It is in their name, the., sad in the same, I may oonfidently say, of the whole people of England, that I give utterance to the desire, in proposing the tout of your infant daughter, that as she grows up, by the favour of Providence, she may be worthy of the greet and celebrated came she bears-4 Walk I would add, never to be forgotten in the annals of our country. Sir ROBERT Pats--I am deeply Indebted to my right hon. friend for his kindness in proposing the health of the little child whose christening has taken place this morning, and to you, my lords, Wise, and gentlemen, for your friendly sympathy with myself and my wife in joining to celebrate this auspicious day. I know not how I can better show that I appreciate your wishes than by also bopiog that the thoughts and degree which encircle her cradle to-day may find their full realisation as the years draw on. May these good wishes accompany her and encourage her through the path of life to the attainment in her true interests of a complete realisation in a peaceful and happy future. I cannot refrain from making one allusion to the put. Her most gracious Majesty, in consenting to act as sponsor, added that it gave her much pleasure to do so in consideration of the services of this child's grandfather. Such allusions naturally carry back the Imind to many circumstances of the past. My right hon. Mend has referred to those living, and also to those deed, I who may be conceived as joining in good wishes to our child. and I also seem to see them round me at this moment. To day we have the presence of two of the most distinguished , men the land can boast, the noble Prime Minister of England, and the brightest ornament of the Howe of Com mons, the Chaarellor of the Exchequer, who is now in the full meridian of his splendid genius. I thank them, I Ithank you all, for your kind expression of feeling , and trust it will not be presumptuous to give utterance to the wish that some of the qualities and traits of character which adorned the life of this child's grandfather may also be continued in her person, softened by all the attributes of feminine grace and the fostering care of • mother's heart.

THE GAME Laws. —At the monthly meeting of the Botley and South Hants Farmers' Club, held at Botley last Monday, the following resolutions were passed : " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that a large pro- portion of land in this country is deteriorated is value for agricultural purposes to a serious extent by reason of game depredations, and consequently is let to firm tenants be low its natural value, thereby escaping its fair charge to the property tax and parochial amassment. That game being now a marketable article, and commonly sold by lane game pre:servers, such land should be assessed at ill tall value for agricultural purposes, the laodlord pay ing taxes and rates on the amount of value air sorbed by the game.

The Cheltenham Examiner mentions the fact that several persons well known in Cheltenham and connect id with resident families perished with the London. Among them is Mr. Robe' & Harris, the chief officer, who met with his death at the age of 39 yaws, attar living through eaves tures such as WI to the lot of few. Mr. Harris was the brother of the supervisor of excise for the Cheltenham die trict, and will be remembered is the hero of the " Tale of the Sea," which some mouths ago caused so great an interest throughout England and Australia, and indeed throughout the civilised world. Mr. Harris, on that occasion, while mate on board the Geeloog, had volun teered to the rescue of a man who had been washed overboard in mid-ocean, and, accompanied by several seamen, had put off from the ship in a small boat for that purpose. By some strange mishap the Geelong steamed away, and left Mr. Harris end his companions to the mercy of a stormy sea. After beating about for thirty-six hours, it will be remembered, Mr. Harris was picked up end brought safely to England. Mr. Super visor Harris, in reference to the death of his brother, has received the following letter from the owners of the London :—" Blackwell Yard, Linden, Jan. 22, 1866. Dear Sir,—We fear we have 'little to add beyond what has appeared in the papers relative to the loss of the London, or of those on board. All that has been told us by those who survive, proves that all did their duty to the utmost and to the very last. No more perfect ma* of heroism, we feel, was ever exhibited than in this unfortu nate loss, where, with the complete knowledge of the posi tion of the ship, every endeavour was used, and complete order maintained, to the very last. On a previous occasion, we expressed to you our opinion of your brother s we caa only add that everything since then has confirmed it.

Fluxes sr= IV WATT led LEBRITY.—The Inde- pendanee Beige hes the following remarks on the speech of the Emperor Napoleon :—" This document explains itself, with a eleusese we cannot but applaud, upon ail the question which occupy public opinion. We wish we could deem it as satisfactory as it is clear ; but while it contains declarations upon certain points we are happy to approve, it contains ethers which we must deeply deplore. In fact, though the language of the Emperor is pacific and well inspired with regard to foreign 'dein and distant expedi tions, it is oa the other hand not very encouraging for the friends of liberty in thou passages which refer to the situation at home and the liberal aspirations of France. Not only does it give us no glimpse of the crowning of the edifice so long promised and still expected, but it repels as a manifestation of unseemly impatience the liberal move meet which marks the new phase in which France has entered through the general elections of 1863. In those political liberties which M. Thiers has so truly called mi aow, liberties, and which alone can constitute the govern* meat of the oonotry by the country, it refuses to see any thing but useless fetters, only calculated to deprive the government of all force and of all initiative. The present institutions of France seem in the eves of the Emperor to appruch perfection, and in the fresh apology that he has made for them he strives with more determination than ever to justify, by the difference between the genius of England and Frain* the differesoe between the Imperial and the English instantiole. To make amends, he points out an analogy between the Imperial institutions and those of the United States, which is somewhat vague, and which, for that reason, doubtless, his hitherto remained unperceived.

A public meeting wee held yesterday in the , • tian.hall, Mansion-house, under the presideug of the Right I Hoe. the Lord Mayor In promote in the ensuing series the ' 1 introduction of a meMiare into parliament for ptea • the commons and open ewes round the metropo is for the use of the public. There was a numerous and influential attendance, including the following members of parliament: —Sir F. and Mr. C. Buxton, Mr. Leiser*, Colonel Shen° Adair, Mr. Locke, Alderman P. H. Lawrence, Professor Few. sett, and Masers. Leslie Stephen, Joseph Toynbee, FALB., Hussey, Richardson, Derma, Barrel!. J. 0. Parkinson, and Doulton. There were also present several members of the Board of Works, and a number of gentlemen connected by property or resident's with the metropolitan commons. The LORD ]BATOR, in briefly opening the proceedings, dwelt upon the importance of having for a community of upwards of three million' of people like that of London as touch fresh air and open space in their immediate vicinity as possible. He Labored that parliament alone coald secure these advantages for the public ; and all he should any was, that he should not prefer the plan proposed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, which would hand over the whole of the metropolitan commons to the management of a body of individuals. He should prefer a government which should be directly resposighie to parliament. The object for which the amities had been convened wee mast important, and had received the Nano tion of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Lmedsil l pima Stanley, and several other persons of axial Mr. Loess, hi :Wag to move the first resole*" weld assure the misdaig It 'dreaded ham swede pienosre to see such an iolleential and numerous assemblage. It was hardly necessary for him to diocese the importance of their object, for every ale must admit that the tune had come for preserving for all future time the sommoss of the metropolis to the public. (Hem, hear.) He would first call their attention to a resolution which was proposed in the House of Commons in 1864, by Mr. Doulton. He (Mr. Locke) seconded the motion, which was carried by a urge majority. The oily objection made was taken by Mr. Cowper, who said that the government would not un derteke the expense. Last year a select committee was appointed when Mr. Doulton was unable from indisposition to attend, and be (Mr. Locke) took his place, and it was therefore, be belii.ved, he now found himself moving the first resolution. Important witnesses—Mr. W. Cooke, Sir J. Thwaites, sod others—were examined, end the committee agreed to • report. He trusted that a bill founded oil that report would be brought in and carried in the ensuing parliament. One important question they would have to consider would be the rights of the lords of the manors and commoners. It wee • popular notion that the rights or 'ordeal manors were paramount over the game of the com mon, sad that he could enclose soy part of it at his pleasure. That was • great mistake, as he had really so right except over the game of the worst portions, sad he could not enclose an inch of ground without the consent of the commoners. Now, with respect to the metropolitan am assers it was very difficult to find oat who they were, sad what were their rights, and the result was that the lords of the manors were in a " fix," and could not, except by violations of the law—which, however, he was sorry to say, were daily taking place—take the commons from the public. The General Enclosure Act provided that no common within a certain diatomes of the metropolis or other great town could be enclosed without an especial act of paella. ment, and therefore when lords of manors obtained the privilege it was as • boon and sot a right. The rights of the public over those commons were, in fact, intact. Mr. Deal ton's plan was to purchase the rights of lords of manors and commoner around the metropolis, and for the Board of Works to hold them for the beastlier the public. Having read some extracts from the report of the committee, Mr. Locke proceeded to explore that the Beard of Works pro posed that they should bold the land, with power to dispo s e of portions of it for building purposes, and to maintain the rut- That eau the proposition of the Board of Works, and that was what he (Mr. Locke) con sidered to be most objectionable. (Hear, hese.) The committee thought no portion of the commove should be bold, and that was the objection which had defeated Lord Spacer's scheme. (Hear, bear.) This was a question for the consideration of the public. It the matter were banded over to the Board of Works, the beet parte of the °ammo's would be sold, and in addition they would have the coal tax and the property tax. The latter had been hinted at by Sir J. Thwsitse, but be (Mr. Locke) could sot clearly understand what he meant. The plan of the coot. mines was that a bill should be brought into parliament, providing that there should be no enclosure within 15 miles of the metropolis. Au enclosure bill was at present brought every worm into parliament, but the enclosures were all put into • schedule, and thus the/slipped through, to the injury of the public. The way in which the case stood at present was this : the Board of Works offered to undertake the management of the mmwoci„ and OQ did the Enclosure Commissional, The latter, it was true, were principally employed in enclosing commons, but if they were prohibited doing so within 15 miles of London, they might be very efficient in protecting them. He beg ged to move, "That the preservation of the commons and open spaces in the neighbourhood of the metropolis h absolutely essential to the health and recreation of the public." Mr. Alderman LLWRINCE, M.P., in seconding the resolu tion, begged to eater his protest against open apnoea, which might be almost looked upon as the lungs of three millions of people, being enclosed and wholly taken away from the public. After the observations of Mr. Locks it would not be neeessary for him to go into the legal question ; he would merely reiterate his opinion that it was essential to the health of the people of London that the neighbouring commons and open space should be preserved, and as with =pat to Epping and Hainanit Forests a good deal had been said of the rights of the crown, be trusted that the rights of the people in those much-ftequeoted pleas of resort would not be lost sight of. (Hear, hear.) lie repu diated the doctrine that no rights were to be discussed but those of the crown, the lords of manors, and the com moner. The people had their rights, and it was the duty of the legislature to protect their rights. (Cheers.) He thought that the public were much indebted to the Lord Mayor for having called the preseet meeting. (Hear.) Mr. Alderman Roes supported the resolution, and repu diated the notion that lords of manors were t o be treated as if they were freeholders. (Hear, hear.) They had merely the rights to cut turf, to grime cattle, and to dig gravel ; and in one case, where the lord of the manor bad sold one-third of the la nd, his solicitor declared that he had not sufficient power to protect the gravel. With respect to the Board of Works, he objected to banding the cornmeal' over to that body, seeing that they claimed a power to sell a portion of the land. (Hear, hear.) At Wimble don the lord of the manor bad endeavoured to get legisla tive permission to sell 300 acres, which were worth &thou sand pounds an acre ; and yet so weak was his title that, having attempted an enclosure, • neighbour bed pulled down the paling, and his lordship's solicitor did not veerre to recommend an action. (Hear, hear.) Here would have been • sum of 300,0001., and from it they might guess what a fund the Board of Works would command if they obtained power to sell portions of land in every common within 15 miles of the metropolis. What the public wanted was the direct control of parliament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ls BRETON defended the scheme of the Board of Works• and said they only proposed selling eo much of the land as would clear expenses. Mr. Scorn (City Chamberlain) wished to all attention to a few statistics. The metropolitan district extended 16 mike from Chariogoross, and at the present retool increase would in 50 years have • population of 8,532,000 soul& In 1801 the population of London, if all standing at mice in the area, would stand 21 yards apart, in 1851 the dis tance was reduced to 14 yards ' • in 1866 they had an inter vening apace of Dille yards ; and in 50 years more they would stand as elves as they were rocked in that room. (Cheers and laughter.) They would have, is fact, just standing room, no more. This might be looked upon as absurd, but it was correct, and it showed how necessary it was for the legislature to step in and protest our remaining open groom The resolution was put and carried unanimondy. Mr. G. S. Ls Fscas, M.P. , moved the next resolution : " That in the opinion of this mestiog it is incumbent on the legislature to deal with the question of commons and open spaces, and this meeting pledges Welt to support the Commons Preservation Society in its efforts to press the subject on the attention of parliament." He believed that every one wished to preserve the commons to the public. 50,000 persons in the season enjoyed Blackheath, Hamp stead, and Clapham, and 200,000 Epping and Haioault ; they bad done so for centuries, and yet they were told that the only rights so be oasiderol were those of the lords of manors and commons ; the people could claim nothing from their long usor. (Hear, bear.) The village green was protected, but the metropolitan common was not, sad every we was taken of the rights of sheep and cattle, whilst those of the people of London were neglected. (Hear, hear.) The position of the public, however, was not hopeless, foe so imperfect were the titles of lode. viduals, that it was now very difficult to enclose any por tion of a common without the consent of parliament, sod therefore existing rights were of very little money value. What the public had now to fear wee what was very well known as the "sweatiog "or commons. the " rolling fence," and other devices of encroachment (Hear. hear.) There was also the gradual deterioration of the soil by the digging of gravel, ko. The railway companies were cutting our oostromes in all direction, Harem was threatened with four railways. cubeaimbecloo with two. With respect to the proposition Board of Works, he thought it would be in some danger of tallies from the way large sum that would be necessary to boy up existing rights. The Richmond Railway had purchased twelve area, for which they bad gives 4001. as acre, and if that rate were to hold good all through. the plan of the Board of Works might require three or four miasma. (Hear. bear.) He objected to ampule:ay pr oceedings . but thought that • good deal might be des. moral inflates. Me. Ahab. who yea lord cif the maim over 1,200 wee of the most beautiful memo. land in the vtniatty of London bad offered to surrender all his interest. (Chars.) ihrele was seder the control of the Dees sad [TWOPENC: Chapter of Bt. Paul's, who he believed would also surrender far the benefit of the public. If they could also get the consist of the Ecclesiastical Oommimioners Bosse might be secured to the publio for ever. (Hear, hear.) In ocricht. lon, Mr. Wane urged the meeting to support the Com mons Preservation committee. Mr. Husain, M.P., seconded the resolutios. The only side of the question left for him to discuss was the senti mental side, but oa that there was a good deal to be said. (Hear, bear.) He thought that it was desirable that the people of this country should be fond of their country, and a well-known writer bad pointed out that people were more fond of their country in proportion as it was open to their enjoyment. The people of England were entitled to every inch of their inheritance, and it should sot be Sakai away from them on say pretext whatever. (Cheers.) No matter what might be the present state of the law, the people sad parliament of England bad power to alter it, and he be hawed that is this crass it was their bounden duty to do so. (Rear, bear.) Mr. Guinean praised the conduce of the lord of the manor of Clapham. Thanks to him and the residents, not aa inch of the common had been taken for several years. Mr. TATLOI complained energetically of the rapid spoliation of Barnes-common. Thu railways attacked it last =don, and it escaped ; but they would do so basin than year. There was a phrase, " only the outlying portions." but that meant the thin sod of the wedge, end in the end the whole common would be dotted with villa'. He did Dope that some =meth measures would be adopted, Mr. 0. Herron, M.P., would at that late hour offer only a very few voids. Interested as he was in the Tower Ham lets and its population of 30E1,000, and living as he had done seer Beekr. Pea" he had bees direply impressed with the ardent met with which the working people of East Leaden enjoyed their holidays at that favourite place of resort. He deeply regretted to learn that Earl Spencer had destroyed one of the most beautiful spots on Wimbledon-o=mo' by turning it into a briokfield. This showed the urgent noose sity there existed for action, and he believed they could sot do better than support the views of the meeting. Mr. CAIPALLIL supported the plan giving over the com mons to the Board of Works. dome resource for funds would be absolutely necemary, u draining alone would cost from el. to 71. an acre. Mr./Gii;o7iplained of the rapidity with which Lord Cowley was enclosing Wszistand, and added that Lord Spencer was absolutely destroying Wandsworth. The enclosures that were going on were, in fact, nothing better than lawless violence , sod his only hope was that the working peopie, when they obtained their rights, would never alines than as lords of the manor now did theirs. (Hear. hew.) The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Sir W. Fuses moved. "That autscriptions in further ance of the .objeets of the society be invited from those present, and tbst a list of subscribers be opened at the Massion•house." He pointed out howivalusble the com. moss would be as exercise grounds for the volunteers. Alderman )318LiT seconded the resolution, which was Sir unanimously. Sir Foie= Bcirox, M.P., moved, "That petitions be ted to both Houses of Parliament, urging immediate islation on the subject of the open spaces. He, as a resident at Epping, bore testimony to the value of the forest as a phi°, of recreation for the working classes. Mr. Tomes .worded the resolution. London lost 15,000 of its population every year from disease of the organs of respiration, sad these diseases were mainly caused by the insufficient supply of fresh and pure vital air for the bah& bitsots. This resolution having been carried with the others unanimously, the proceedings terminated with a warm vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor. COLLIERY ACCIDENT NEAR WIGAN. THIRTY LIVES LOST. A terrible colliery accident took place on Tuesday afternoon in the Wigan coalfield. The spot was Mum. Mower and Evans's Highbrook Colliery, situated about a mile from the high road leading from Wigan to Ashton In Maakerfield, and about three miles from the boundary of the borough. About thirty men and boys were killed by an upbeat of fire damp. The colliery in question cou sins of two shat u, known as No. 1 and No. 2, both sunk to the Orwell Five Feet Beam, which lases lite at • depth of 290 yards from the surface. Below this about 60 yards lies the Orrell Four Feet ; but in this seam, just at the lower side of shaft No. 2, occurs a fault, which throws the coal upwards for a considerable distance, at as incline of nearly one in six. Nearly 60 yards from the bottom of the shafts, and therefore about 230 yards trust ildo NEW% rams a Ulla Nast of eoal eat worth Obi trouble of getting, but valuable in this Instance, as it has enabled the management° tunnel the more easily until the seconding Four Feet Mine has been struck. By this mouth ing into the No. 2 shaft the mine has been worked for a couple of years,veatilation being provided for by • COMM' libation opened through the small seam already mentioned, with the up-cast shaft No. LAs the workings have ex lorded, the number of mace employed here has been gradu ally increased, and on Tuesday moiling, somewhere about 50 colliers, drawers, and day labourers descended to follow their employment. They were lowered into the shaft by the engineer between five sod an o'clock, and as the fireman, , William Marsh, who had been in the pit from four o'clock. reported that the pit was perfectly free from gad—in fact, that it was " as claw as • bell"—the men proceeded to their work without fear of danger, three of the party, • collier and his two sous, descending for the first time. All, as was customary, had safety lamps, and these it was the duty of the fireman to examine. All went well till noon, at which hour the fireman, who had not left the pit during the morning, proceeded to the pit eye to get something to eat. His repast over, he started to return to the further workings, but he had not moved more than • few yards away when there were indications of a terrible exploeioo, a blast of wind coming along the road with such strength as to lift the hooker on at the mouthing off his feet, to whirl his cap into the shift, together with a cloud of dust, which was carried some distance upwards. The underlooker, Beery Ascroft, was down the other pit at the time, io the five feet seam, and information of the explosion being promptly conveyed to him be joined Marsh io a few minutes, and an anew. whoa of the workings was at ones made. They first explored a slant to the right of the main jig brow, but it was soon evident that the gas had not fired here as the men, about • dozen in number , who had been working in this district were met running towards the mouthing. They then proceeded along a brow, rooting straight from the pit eye, lista they reached& tunnel which rune through a number of faults until the seam is struck again, and In this tunnel three lads were found, two almost io the last stage of suffocation. Their names were Thomas Morris, a boy who attends to the waggons at the bottom of the jig how, John Ashcroft, • pony driver, and Thomas iffeaktoson, sod though they had sustained some few bruises, they quickly recovered on being conveyed into the fresh ear. It was soon placed beyond doubt that all who were alive in the pit bad now been recovered, for a short distance farther in the tunnel it was found that an arch ever the weirs air course, and forming part of the floor of {Miaow!, had been blown down by ttie explosioo t and the ventilation of the mine was therefore completely impeded. , Before any further steps could be taken to examine I the remainder of the workings this arch had to be repaired; and ea by this time there was 'no lack of assistance, the work progressed rapidly, bet still it was not till a couple of home after the explosion that the exploring party could advance. Between two and three o'clock - the first dead body wee found, a few yards from the top of _the jig brow, which is formed by the tunnel we have already mentioned as running through the fauna. At the top of the brow three or four more wen lying, probably drawers, who had brought full tube of coal to the spot ; but even this could not be stated with cer tainty, as the scorched and blackened corpses were not to be recognised in the dim light of the mine. Beyond this lay the working places, and the discovery of the remainder of the bodies now progressed slowly but steadily as the plebs could be ventilated. Al each body was found it was for. warded to the pit eye, where shortly after 10 o'clock, when the whole of the mine had been examined, lay • grim row el 30 corpses, some calmly reposing as if they h.d died withoith a struggle, and others so hideously disfigured sato be almost usrecognitable.
