Liddle in the chair. A paper was read from Dr. Druitt, president of the 1111106%- bon, giving particulars of the recent outbreak of scarlet fever in Chapel-street, Grosvenor.. luare. It stated that the house in which the disease broke out was situated in a crowded court, and was occupied by several families. Fever , first appeared in the middle of September, and attacked live children in one faintly, who were removed to the Fever Respite'. At this time the house underwent a thorough cleansing, and the yards, closets, and sinks were drenched with cazholic acid. Notwithstanding this the disease again broke out in October, and carried off two children belong. to different families. As there were still three more children in the house it was determined that all the inha bitants should be turned out, and that the building should not again be occupied until the medical officer of health was satisfied that the fever had been thoroughly rooted out by disinfection. It was clear from these facts that mere housecleaning was insufficient to terminate the disease, and that until the disinfecting process authorised by the Sani tary Act was sa up in every parish the spread of the in fection could not be effectual!). prevented. A discussion followed upon the most effective methods of disinfection, and several members detailed the results of their experi ence on the subject. It was brought to a close by a vote of thanks to Dr. Death for his paper. Another paper was read by Dr. PalLud on " Animal Vaccination," as practised in late ears by the medical profession France and other c o ns inental countries, and the author gave an interesting account of the new system, end pointed out what he thought were its advantages over the system of arm to arm vaccination adopted in this country. The chairman said the question dealt with by Dr. Ballard In his paper was a very important one, and he thought the members of tl.e association were much indebted to him for bringing the subject under their attention. Dr. Pavy said that it was universolly admitted that the system of vacci nation at pre.,nt carried out in this country was very im perfect and winiething must shortly be don e t o improve it, either by the introduction of animal vaccination or some other means. The chairman said one of the most lament able facts in connection with the system of vacanation in this country was the number of children attacked with smallpox after being vaccinated. After some observations from other memhsrs a vote of thanks was p aste d t o D r . Ballard, and the proceedings terminated, ACCIDENT TO SIR FRANCIS GOLDSNID, F. and Lady t;oldsmid are staying at their princely resi dence, Reudc ~,,, h-park, six miles from Cirencester, Glou editenhire, surrounded by a very numerous circle of friends.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (MR'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 14. Intelligence received here from the camp at Zoulla, dated the 2nd inst., announoes that the advanced brigade of the Abyssinian expedition, under Colonel Field, arrived at Zoulla on the 21st October, and landed, all well. Preparations for the reception of the coming forces were progressing rapidly, and one good pier was approaching completion. Abyssinians from the neighbourhood were flock ing to the camp in search of employment. The latest dates from the captives were of October 6.

MULLS FOR VIZ ABYSSINIAN EXPEDrfrOle.—We read in the Malin Times of Nov. 7:—" The hired screw transport Empress (No. 13), which passed Malta to the westward a short time ago,arrived at Gibraltar on the 29th October. After shipping a detachment of the mules then picketed on the North Front she left for Alexandria, and passed in sight of the island from east to west on the sth instant. Other vessels were shortly expected at Gibraltar to convey the remainder to Alexandria. The whole num ber of mules to be shipped at Gibraltar for the Abyssinian expedition is 1,300. The hired screw transport Ltolivar (No. 17) hove to off this island on the 2nd instant, to land a number of Maltese muleteers, and imme diately afterwards proceeded for Gibraltar, where she will embark another cargo of mules for the A byssinian ex pedition. The hired screw transport Couthoundouros (No. 16), Lieutenant Sullivan, R.N.,agent,has also called in Isere to coal, on her way from Alexandria to Gibraltar for a second cargo of mules. A sad disaster has occurred to one cargo of mules, which was shipped on board the French steamer Bretagne at Alicante. This vessel put in here on the let of November with her rudder defective and some other injuries, sustained in a heavy gale about 150 miles to the westward of Malta. Of 325 animals embarked 153 died in one night from the violent motion of the vessel, which became quite unmanageable, until temporary means could be taken to strengthen the steering appa ratus. The remainder, 172 in number, were landed here, and six have since died from the bruises re ceived during the storm. The Bretagne, after under. going the necessary repairs in the royal naval dockyard, and reshipping such of the mules as were fit to proceed on the voyage, 144 in number, 22 having been left behind sick, left Malta on the 6th inst. for Alexandria. The other consignments of mules from Spain had reached Alexandria with trifling losses • but we hear of one vessel on board of which some fourteen died on the passage. Those de spatched from Malta in the Atlantic reached their destina tion without a single casualty. We hear that 2,000 of these animals have already been landed in Egypt and sent on to Sure, except the sickly ones, which were detained at Alexandria, to recruit their strength. From what we have seen of the Spanish mules landed here from on board the Bretagne, the selections made do not seem so good as those at Malta, many of them being perfectly grey with age, and otherwise u n fit f or th e service on which they are intended to be employed. Malta can supply, in addition to the 300 already sent to Alexandria, at least 500 more prime animals. Captain Commerell, V. 0., C. 8., com manding her Majesty's ship Terrible, senior naval o ffi cer at Alexandria, finding th a t man y o f the muleteers from the Levant were rendered useless by sea sickness, replaced them on board some of the transports by parties of his own sailors, and wo have no d ou bt thi s judicious step will be attended with the most beneficial results." ATHLETIcEXERCINEs.--FATALOccuRRENcE.--OR Friday night the members of the Birmingham Athletic Club held their winter display in the Town-hall, in the presence of a large audience. Various feats, usual on these occasions, such as the "parallel bars," " ruaning leaps" " high jumping," and exercises with Indian clubs," Sc., were gone through, when suddenly the pro ceedings were brought to a termination. Mr. Clement Davies, one of the members of the club, came to the front of the orchestra, and addressing the audience, claimed their indulgence for abruptly closing the display. It soon became known that earlier in the evening a youth named Plant (16 years of age) bad fallen out of the ranks in • state of exhaustion ; he was carried to an inner room but although medical aid was on the spot, the poor lad was never again conscious ;he died in a very short time. It is said he was afflicted with heart disease, but it had been his habit to indulge in fast running. The deceased was a son of Mr. T. L Plant, the writer of numerous letters on the subject of meteorology. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1867. FRANCE. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The Presse says that the new pamphlet which has been so greatly bepuffed in anticipation—" Napo leon 111. and Europe"—and which has been inten tionally attributed to the pen of a person about the Imperial court, is not worth reading. "It is from first to last a Prussian publication (adds the Presse). The writer is perhaps not a German, but he thinks and writes like the Berlin Correspnulenee, and he makes use of the worn-out arguments and conclu sions of that print. He recommends to France as the rule of her policy, the frank, complete, and sympathetic acceptance of the facts accomplished or in process of completion in Germany,' and he represents the success of the unification of Italy and of Gemany as necessary to the progress of de mocracy and of liberalism. Faugh ! this line of argument smells rankly of Bismarck." Tho Journal de Rouen says :—" The submarine cable between Boulogne and Dover was broken on Wednesday morning at a spot si miles from the French coast. The cause of this accident is un known; probably it was caused by the anchor of some vessel. Active steps are in progress to repair the defect, and in the meantime telegraphic com munication between France and England is carried on through the Calais cable." ITALY AND ROME. The Italie of Florence says that grave dissen sions have already arisen between the commander of the French corps of occupation and the Ponti fical government. " A French general," it adds, " may easily be understood to feel a repugnance to give his support to the reactionary measures which the Holy Bee wishes to put in force." The Italian Minister of War has addressed the following circular despatch to the commanders of divisions : A rumour was designedly spread and propagated by some journals that the government had ordered the with drawal of the troops from the Pontifical territory in con sequence of an ultimatum from France demanding their recall. This assertion is absolutely false ; and I have the honour, in the name of the government, to inform you of it, begging you to bring the fact to the knowledge of the troops under your orders. You will please to add that the King's government, as Jealous a guardian as any one of the national honour, would not have failed to safeguard it by all means if any premium had been exercised on the deliberation of the government by another power. A communication from Florence, in the Sentaine Financiere, says : The King is said to be greatly excited, which fact has given rise to the ridiculous rumour that his reason was affected. The statements that he was about to abdicate have no doubt greatly irritated him. He will not hear of such a project, and • plot with ramifications at Paris is said to have been formed with the object of forcing him to quit the throne. He is consequently in such • state of mind that be might be led to commit some rash act, when he found that he had an army behind him. There is a general belief that at the moment when the change of ministry oc curred he was decided on a rupture with France. Every thing was ready, even the proclamation, which the King had signed. The generals, however, explained to him that he bad neither man, horses, guns, nor powder, and that he would be exposing himself to • oertain defeat. The mi nistry is delaying the meeting of parliament as long as it can. The cabinet knows well that if it cannot announce that the intervention is at an end, and that consequently Italy has the keys of Rome in her hands, it will be °ler thrown by the first vote. The working men's societies of Italy have pub lished a protest against the arrest of Garibaldi. The general has sent them the following letter in reply : " Varignano, Nov. B.—My friends,—My warmest and most sincere thanks for your words. Remember, however, that it is not in the direction of Varignano you ought to turn your looks and thoughts, but towards Rome. Remind our friends and the whole Italian people of this.—Yours ever, GARIBALDI." THE FOREIGN MAILS. OUTWARD MAILS OF OCT. 20 AND 29. —SUzz, Nov. 9. —The Bengal and Mooltan (extra steamer) left for Calcutta, &c., at 5 a.m. to-day.

The Sumatra, from Marseilles 13th inst., arrived to-day at 5 a.m., and loaves at noon for Alexandria. OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL. QUERNSTOWN, Nov. 17.—The Royal Mail steamship Persia arrived hero at 8 a.m. to-day. She embarked 70 sacks of mails, the passengers, and telegrams, and proceeded for New York at 3.314. m. All well. THZ Mewl TO INDIA.—The Malta Times of the 7th inst. says :—" It is currently reported that, according to the new contract of the postal authorities with the Peninsu lar and Oriental Company, which now awaits the approval of parliament, the packets containing the Marseilles portion of the overland will in future proceed direct between Mar seilles and Alexandria through the Straits of Marina, without calling at any intermediate port. By adopting that route, which is only 49 miles shorter than that by this island, and avoiding the delay of coaling at Malta, it is alleged a certain number of hours will be saved. But, after all, this is a mail for the benefit of British colonies, for which a heavy subsidy is being paid, and we can hardly suppose that a hypothetical saving of five or even double that number of hours, in the several weeks required for the transmission of mails to and from India, is a justifiable reason to put aside such an important British possession and naval and military station as Malta, especially when the moat pressing ;politi cal, commercial, and social wants concerning India can be made known by the rapid means of communication afforded by the telegraph. We are glad to hear that the matter has been taken up by the Chamber of Commerce ; but it must not be lost sight of that this is a question not only affecting local interest, but imperial interests also, and should be maturely considered before it is definitely settled." THE SUBMERSION OF THE ISLAND OF TORTOLA. —Up to a late hour last evening no information had been received at the government offices confirmatory of the startling news of the submergence of the island of Tor tole. The island was the principal of what are known as the British Virgin Islands, and it came into the posses sion of this country in 1666, or just two centuries gime. It is a small island, about twelve miles in length and four in breadth, situated in 18.24 N. longitude and 64.32 W. latitude. The surface of the island was irregular, its highest land being 1,000 feet above the sea level. Tor tola was about twenty miles distant from St. Thomas, the island which suffered so seriously by the recent hur ricane. The Rhone, one of the West India mail packets, was lost in Tortola passage, where she was anchored at the time of the hurricane. The population of The island at the time of the last census was 8,600. The brief telegram already received announces the total submergence of the island, and the loss of the whole of she inhabitants. The Governor of the Virgin Islands was—or let us hope is—Sir Carlo Arthur Hervey Rumbold, Bart. ; the Chief Justice and Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court, D. H. 0. Gordon, Esq. ; the Secretary of the Council, G. H. A. Porter, Esq. ; the Provost Marshal, J. G. Gordon, Esq. Of course it is not known whether any of these officers were in the island of Tortola, or on any other of the group of the Virgin Islands.—Observer. GREAT NORTHERN HOENTAL, CALEDONIAN -ROAD, N.

They all knew that it was most desirable that they should have the best and wisest heads is operation for the public weal, wherever they might be found, or to whatever clam they might belong, and therefore, he said, it was of the utmost importance that they should place the advantages of education within the reach of the poorest classes. He contended that it was perfectly absurd in the present day to make the national universities more exclusive &dimwits of the national church. It was never intended from their first establishment that they should be so. Re ferring to the Factory Acts, he maintained the great use fulness which they had exercised on the employment of women, especially iu night work. Mr. Bruce made re marks upon the redistribution of seats, and particularly approved of the amendment which had provided that no town with a population of less than 10,000 should retain two members, and he went into the statistics to show the disproportion which had existed in the large and populous counties in the north of England, as compared with the agricultural counties in the south, and be con tended that these statistics must show in the ciearest manner the unfairness of the moment distribution of seats lnzliamont. He wished to say • few words portion _ le . Lying to the locality which be represented. He dia s ehtmed the slightest desire to appear to dictate to them who should be his future colleague. It was per fectly natural in • locality so essentially nonconformist to desire to return a nonconformist so their repreeentative. He defied any one to show that during the 15 years be had bean their representative he had ever done anything in opposition to the interests of nonconformity. He denied that there was any truth in the insinuations which had been freely made in the local papers that I churchmen were necessarily the enemies of religious free dom. He cited the names of distinguished men who . had been the most earnest supporters of the extensionof religious freedom, and yet all of them were zealous churchmen. With respect to the gentlemen who had presented themselves as candidates for the representation of the borough, he would frankly say that Mr. Fothergill, as a large landed pro. neater, and • large employer of labourers, had a perfect right to offer himself as a candidate. Then, again, Mr. Richard, as a liberal and a nonconformist, had • perfect right to offer himself as a representative for • community among whom so much nonconformity prevailed. Mr. Bt zee repeated the explanation which he gave at Mer thyr on Monday evening, in answer to the false charge' which had been industriously circulated, that he had years agosaid that 12s. • week was sufficient wages for I labourers. He said so far from that being the case, the only limit he would put to the magnitudeof wages wee when they reached such am amount as to take away the possi bility of the surplus of profits being devoted to the in cream of capital. He further repeated his explanation of the absurdity of the accusation inside against him of not being • Welshman, or of showing want of interest in Welsh matters when in his place in parliament. In reply to questions, he said with loud applause, he would repeat the answers which he gave at Merthyr to the same questions, namely, that he was quite prepared to adopt any effective course which might be struck out to correct the evils of the ratepaying clauses, but he was not prepared to bring forward any measure of his own at present. On the question of the ballot, he frankly declared that he would not give that his support, ail he instanced the work ing of the ballot in the Atheneum Club, to which he be laaged,where there badbeen numerous instances in which pa tlemen of the highest and universally acknowledged distirction in literature or science had been rejected under the cover of the ballot, which would not have been the case had there been open voting. He was not prepared to support the entire abolition of capital punishments, as he thought they should be retained in certain extreme cases only. As to the truck system, he had always been desirous of removing it, and be would still support every measure having the same object in view. On the question of the disendowment of churches, he could only say that no men had ever yet been bold enough to propose such a measure in parliament as the entire disendowment of churches, and he certainly could not profess himself in favour of so sweeping • measure. He said in the present day they had a clergy in the church who were zealous and faithful in the discharge of their duty, and there was this distinction between the ministry in the church and dissent—that the latter, though faithful and zealous in an equal degree with the former, were only careful of their own docks, while the clergy of the church looked after the stray sheep in their respective psi she., who belonged to no denomination or sect. In answer to a further question as to the disendowment of the Irish church, Mr. Bruce said he could not say that be was at present prepared to support such a measure. A resolution, pledging the meeting to support Mr. Bruce at the next election, was carried by acclamation, and • vote of thanks to the chairman having been also adopted, the meeting separated. The sittings of the Royal Commission on Ritual are to be resumed on Thursday next. With respect to the Lambeth Conference, it is stated that the committees have time from time to tiie to consider the various matters sub mitted to them. Their deliberations are not yet concluded. It has been decided to hold the adjourned meeting of the Conference on December 10. We have seen a statement which has appeared in some of our ooetemporsries to the effect that Vice-Chan cellor Wood contemplates resigning his office at the close of the year. We :as aware that a rumour to that effect gained some currency in the profession just before the last long vacation, and we believe the statement in ques tion to hays been founded in a rumour and nothing better. —Solicitors' Journal. Ds J>ur ► asaux .— A meeting of the subscribers to the proposed memorial to the late Dr. Jeaffreson, of Finsbury-square, took place in the board-room of St. Bar iliolomew's Hospital on Friday afternoon, at which Dr. Edwards, Mr. Paget, Mr. Callender, and several other =ereedited staff of that institution attended, e l : occupied by Mr. W. Forster White, the respected treasurer. It having been announced by Dr. Edwards, who has acted as secretary to the fund, that the amount already subscribed and promised would provide a permanent Isom of 20/. per annum, it was resolved that an exhibition to be entitled "The Jeaffreson," be immediately established, and that the amount to be so provided be paid during two years to any student of St. Bartholomew's Hospital who shall, within three months of entering upon! his studies, be elected, after a competitive examination, by the medical board, and continue to prosecute those studies in that school. BUSINLBS IS THE House OF COMMON/L—The badness before the House of Commons this week will be little more than formal. On Tuesday there will be the debate on the Address, on Wednesday the report on the Queen's Speech will be brought up, on Thursday the Queen's Speech will be taken into consideration, and Mr. Hunt will move that " a supply be granted to her Majesty," and, probably, on Tuesday, the 26th, the Com mittee of Supply will be opened. In other words, the real business of the autumn session—the grant of funds for the Abyssinian expedition—will be commenced on that day.— Snaday Ca:, ttr. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.-1120 forthcoming annual cattle show of the Smithfield Club is appointed to take place, for the sixth time, at the Agri cultural-hall, Islington, commencing on Monday, the 9th I December next, and will continue for the four following days ; and now that the ravages of the cattle plague may be said to be completely stamped out, there is every reason to believe that it will be held under far more favourable auspices than the two preceding ones. OW) new feature of the p resent year's show has been the enlargement of the galle ries for implements, in consequence of the Insufficiency of the space, great as it was, previously afforded for the accommodation of applicants in that de partment. This has been effected by bringing the frontages of the north and south galleries flush with the first row of iron pillars supporting the groins of the circular roof. By this means there is placed at the disposal of the club for letting purposes a number of bays, the spaces afforded by which have been secured by many of the mosteminent ma nufacturers of machinery for the display of their most novel productions. At the same time, however, the area is re duced to a corresponding extent with the enlargement of the galleries. Although this large increase of space has been obtained, not only every appropriation for stands in the galleries, but in the arcade and annexes, have been filled, and large numbers have had their applications re jected for want of still more room. The show of roots and agricultural produce will also be on a much larger scale than usual. With regard to the arrangements of the club in reference to the cattle and other stock, under the advice of Professor Siminonds—although all apprehensions of the cattle plague are now at end—the committee have determined to carry out the same precautionary measures as were adopted at the shows of 1865 and 1866 in enforcing, both in the transit and in the keep of all cattle entertained and admitted to the show yard, the 54th section of the consolidated orders of council relative to the cattle plague, and in the use of Sir William Burnett's diainfeoting fluid over the entire area. The let inst. was the last day for completing the entries, which are exceedingly numerous, far beyond those of the two or three past years, and include several from her Majesty's and the Prince of Wales's herds, from the Flemish and Home Farms of Windsor mid also from his royal high ness's farm at fiandrimlani. Her Majesty's and the prince's land steward, M ajor-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, is this year's president of the club. The Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Berners, Lord Walaingliam, Earl Spencer, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Tredegar, and a large number of distinguished graziers and agriculturists, are amongst the contributors of stock. The show will be divided into 56 classes, viz., cattle 34, sheep 18, and pigs 4. The prizes in money amount to I,lest., viz., for cattle 1,205/.. sheep 57W., and for pigs 1201. In addition to these money prizes there are six silver cups—two of the value of 401. for the best steer or ox, and for the best heifer or cow in the cattle classes ; three of the valet of 201. each for best pen of Leicesters, Cotswolds, or other long-woolled breeds, lest pen of South Downs, Hamp shire or Wiltshire Downs; for best pen of Shropshire, Oxfordshire, or cross-breeds ; and a silver cup, value 213/., for the beat pen of pigs. There are also three gold medals for breeders of best stock in cattle, and ten silver medals for best pens of sheep and pigs in extra stock, thus making the gross value of the prizes awarded by the club this year reach considerably over 2,0001., being, with possibly the exception of the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng land, the largest award of prizes made by any similar in. stitutiou in the kiugdom. —Observer. FLEE AT CAMBERWELL.—On Saturday night a destructive fire took place at Messrs. Trotman's patent hair pin factory, in the Camberwell-rosd. The premises were of considerable extent, and adjoined Mr. Pries coach factory and other buildings. The fire, the cause of which is unknown, was not extinguished until the pre mises in which it originated were nearly destroyed, and those adjoining much damaged. The approach of one of the steam fire engines was the cause of a fatal accident. The fire coming out of the funnels frightened the horses drawing a brewer's dray, and before the driver could pull them up short, knocked down a man named Lovegrove, and the wheels passed over his bead, death being the result. HOUSES OK PARLIAMENT.—The entrance to the new Palace of Westminster, at the foot of the clock tower, on Tuesday next, will be available only for peers, members of the House of Commons, and officer' connected with the houses of parliament. The gates at the north-western corner of New Palace-yard will be left open for the ad mission of the general public. THE RITUAL MEETING AT ST. JAMES'S HALL. — The newspaper organs of the ritual party appear to attach considerable importance to the " meeting of churchmen," which is to be held at St. damea's Hell to-morrow, "for the adoption of a memorial to the ritual commiseionera." The ' admission is by ticket only, and although all applications have been rigidly scrutinised, with a view to the exclusion of the hostile element, it is understood that the available space was exhausted nearly a week back . It appear* that there is no intention to make the meeting • demonstra tion in favour of ritualism, the aim being rather to bring about iv union between the ritualists and the high church party (which is opposed to anything like extreme ritual ' ism) on the basis of opposition to any alteration in the Prayer-bcok in a party sense. The chair is to be taken by Earl Nelson. THE YORKSHIRE STATUTE FAlRS.—During the put week the whole of the hiring fairs for servants have been held in the Yorkshire towns, and the second series commenced at Halton on Seurday. Everywhere wages have advanced ; farmers complain of the rates much. The girls have not " stood the market " ro much as formerly, the clergy having undertaken to provide them with rooms, the Corn Exchange being given up to them at Melton. The police reports show that the statutes so far have been of • very orderly character. VYTOPENOE MR.ORAUFURD,M.P.,WITHHIS coriarin, ENT& Mr. Craufurd, M.P. for the Ayr district of burghs, addressed the electors and other inhabitants of CeniPbeitownr in the Oenet-house, on Wednesday eeCniz t ig• He commenced his address by °entreating the policy , r Lord Derby on taking office previously with his policy ifi 1566, and commented on it. He end there can be no ob jection to men taking office, but they should not depart from their principles. Who would imagine this time last year that polities would have taken this 'turn? It is not for me as an advanced liberal to find fault with reform ; but I may be permitted to say, men should keep their promises. I need not tell you that this policy was nos panted, it was wrung from than. You saw Mr. Disraeli's speech in Edinburgh—" this is not an extreme measure, but there will be au increase in the constituen cies." I always told you to put your trust in your country ; the more you give the country the more will be the ad vantage to the people. Look at the probable result of redone in Scotland. Every man is a householder who pays the rates and is qualified; but he must pal them him• self personally, and thus • great difficulty is put in his way. What is • compound householder ? M r . Di srae li defines the question in the usual way. The lamllord pays the rates on his houses, and chanties the letting of them. In Mr. Disraeli's speech the compound householder only pays the rent ; but the householder is made to pay the rate in the rent. Ratepayers in England are paled house. holders in the bill. In Scotland the rates may be paid by the landlord when wader 41. In the burgh of Ayr there are 704 voters at 101., 1,078 at 41., under 4!. none ; were all qualified the total may be about 1,750. In Campbeltown in 1865, the voters were ED, under 41.377. Of the number 152 rate s entitling them to vote—total, 391. And so of the others, the hardship was the paying of the rates per sone (Mr. Craufurd) was cippo to the franchise being made a screw to collect niters. lie thought the bill would not live long. It might be important to lmow something of the future. There were two moat important questions for consideration—education and the Irish church. He considered the state bound to educate the people. The old system had broken down—rich places had an advan tage, and poor places had not. The remedy was reform ; this should go with the want, of the present timearz was for compulsory education under certain resthih which he defined. Mainers should be superiors, and great care should be taken in appointing fit and proper persons to the situation of master. The Irish church was a deli cate question. He was not for distributing the revenue of the church, as proposed, between the three religious deno minations of Ireland ; he would have the revenue revert to the state, and be laid out in education. As related to the Reform Bill, many things in it were yet to be attended to. The collection of the revenue, or excise duties, was another matter which required inquiry into. The system was an anomalous one, and called for reform. He was at opinion that it should be carefully considered, and a change made in it that would benefit the state and the country, and relieve the complaining officials of the service. The Scotch bill promised and the increase of seven new members would never satisfy the country. In- I deed, it would be impossible to work out • bill for this country on the same principles as the English Reform Bill. Many parties in Scotland were not rated on the poor on rental at all. Mr. Hunter moved a vote of confidence in Mr. Craufurd. The motion was canted by acclamation. CHEAP MITZTOIS PROM ArSTRALIL. —The Times correspondent at Melbourne writes :—" One of the most important movements this month in the city of Melbourne has corns off in connexion with the pastoral interest. So enormous is the increase of our flocks and herds beyond the demand of oar own population for butcher's meat that the squatters are now establishing boiling-down companies for the conversion of our superfluous fat stock into tallow for exportation. The wholesale prioe for fat mutton here is about • penny a pound. and prime joints come to our tables at twopence a pound. With the now greatly im proved processes for the preservation of meat it is thought here by many stock-proprietors that the English market can be supplied with any quantity of good Australian beef and mutton at twopence or fivepence a pound, free from bone. A new patent for preserving meat was some time back taken out in Sydney, and we learn from the New South Wales papers that meat prepared under this patent is equal to fresh, and is already very exten sively exported to the mother country. A company with limited liability is about to be formed here for a similar so= the thetrade anui t sh rft if i ng y nts co w mnx i n n d ti ll e market in of Riverina alone the nine annual increase of sheep is de scribed to be at least two millions in excess of the local de mand.

A bad cook in Victoria condescends to spoil your dinner for 401. a year, and a good cook can command 601. • year and the most respectful consideration from her employer, or she would at once transfer her patronage elsewhere. Would that England could send her super fluous months to our meat, or we could send our meat to the English mouths ! We shall, at any rate, do our beet on our side, and our food-preserving and exporting com panies seem very sanguine as to the results." Tonror.A.—The last official report on Tortola which has been issued is that which was transmitted to the Colonial-o9loe in May, 1866, by Sir Arthur Rumbold, who arrived out as President of the Virgin Islands at the end of the year 1865, succeeding Mr. Lowden. The population was estimated at 6,441, of whom scarcely& twelfth were whites. The cultivation of sugar, once considerable, had been almost abandoned; the island was not adapted for it. The single ridge which formed the island of Tortola was from 800 to 2,000 ft. high, with sides so steep that they could only be cultivated in terraces supported by low stone walls ; and the cost of carrying mines to the mill would alone make the cultivation of sugar unprofitable at the present ordinary pi ices. There were some fertile spots between the foot of the ridge and the sea, but of no great extent. The industry of the people was being directed to cotton, of which 35,5331 b. were ex ported in 1865. The exports aeenuited in value to 8,636/.„ they consisted chiefly of cattle and small stock and cotton. The trade was c ,nducted almost entirely with the Danish island of St. Thomas. The rate of wages was 16a. Sd. per month for domestic service, Is. 3d. a day for predial ser vice, 3a. • day for trades. The greater part of the soil was owned by negroes, but the land was so much sub divided among them that the value of each particular parcel of land was often not more than from 3/. to 5/. The public revenue was about 1,9001. There had been an old public debt of about 4,0001., but in 1864 the colony com pounded with tLe creditors at 2a. in the pound, payable by three annual instalments. Of those who made eny religion/ profession, the great majority were Wesleyan*. Forty per cent. of the births were illegitimate, but the indifference of the West Indian negroes on the subject of chastity pre vented the misery and wretchedness generally attending upon illegitimacy in England. There was no great sheltie attached to the birth of an illegitimate child, and no temp tation to conceal it ; and there was seldom any reluctance in the father to contribute to the support of the child. The bluebook of the colony for 1863 gave an unfavourable secouut of the progress of education of Tortola. No children over 12 years of age were admitted into the daily schools of the church or the Wesleyan", it being desired that they should he then engaged in husbandry ; but the Colonial Secretary reported that, in fact, the growing generation was less disposed to labour and more lawless than the preceding, and that every year flowed the labouring population to be fast falling into a state of semi barbarieni. There were 479 children in these daily schools, and perhaps 100 in private schools, not here reckoning the number attending Sunday scho ols.: On a report made in 1864, President f,ongden mentioned that the Wesleyan ministers refused to baptise illegitimate children, and therefore these were all baptised into the Anglican church.—Titers. A LONG WALK.—Edward Payson Weston, an American pedestrian, on the 29th of October, began • walk against time. He is to walk from Portlad, to Chicago, Illinois, in 211 walking days, resting on .un days. The distance is 1,237 mile*, and his route passes through Salem. Boston, Hartford, Schenectady, Buffalo, and Cleveland. The match is for 20,000 dollars, and the articles of agreement provide that he is to follow the usual post roads, and is to make 100 miles inside of 24 hours, to attempt which he may make five trial*. The average daily walk u5O miles, and two witnesses for each side accom pany him in a waggon. Weston has a time-table, which shows where lie is to take his weals and *here he is to rest. If he makes the distance in the appoiutcd time, but. fails to walk 100 miles in 24 hours, he gets but two-fifths of the stake. Starting on October 29, at noon, from Port land, he has passed through Salem, Boston, and Provi dence, and to-day is still walking, having accomplished nearly one-fifth of his journey and beim-, .i.:ead of time. He is a Mall of 27 year* of age, weighs 12:ilbs.„ and is aft. 7jin. in height. AN M.Y. de THE COUNTY COM:T.—OH Wednes day, in the county court at Christchurch, Lord George Lennox, M.P. fur Lymington, was summoned for non payment of • debt amounting to 8/. 3s.
