THE PAT OF LETTER CARRIERS.—At a recent meeting of the letter carriers, sorters, stamper., and messengers of the London district, it was resolved to petition the Postmaster• General for an increase of pay, on the ground of the dearness of provisions cod the high rate of rent. A meeting was held at the school-room, Alders gate-street, on Saturday night, for the purpose of receiving the answer which had been made to the deputation. The reply was :—" I think it is very doubtful whether it can be established that the costs of provisions and other articled of necessary consumption has increased of late years, with perhaps the exception of butcher's meat, at the present moment. Bread, tea, coffee, anger, and other groceries, and many articles from which Excise and Customs duties have been removed, can be obtained even at a lower rate. Ido not think, therefore, there are just grounds for asserting that the cost of living has materially increased, and lam not prepared to entertain this applica tion. It is probable that house rent is higher, sad I shall be glad to find that railway companies are disposed to give the proposed accommodation of early trains, which will tend to remove the ground of complaint. I therefore entirely approve the proposed arrangements, which on every ammunt are desirable, and will, I hope, prove advantageous to the officers of this department." This epistle was received with loud hisses and other expressions of contempt, that part relating to early trains exciting much laughter. A dis cussion afterwards took place to consider whether any other steps could be adopted for obtaining their wishes. DARTHOOII..—The fall of snow has been un usually heavy on Dartmoor lately. At Priocetown on the night of the storm it was from 12ft. to 16ft. deep, and it so blocked up the prison officers' quarters that they were obliged to be dug out before they could go to their duty. The convicts were engaged in making paths from the gaol to the houses during the day after the storm—a work accomplished with great difficulty. It has been reported that the Fenian prisoners had arrived at Dartmoor Prison, but this is not correct. They are at Pentonville. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND MR. COBDEN.— One evening, on his return home, he asked a friend whom he found awaiting him whether he could guess in whose company he had spent the last hour. " You must keep it a secret," he said, laughing ; "by which I mean that you must really tell nobody; for although, as you know, I hate mysteries, it would make me very uncomfortable if the thing were talked of." Hie companion guessed in vain, and was at last told that the volunteer envoy had had an interview with the Emperor. Strange to 'ay, a rumour of the fact ran through the clubs and eaft's the game night ; and his confidant being questioned on the point, could hit upon no more innocent way of throwing public curiosity off the scent than by suggesting gravely that the blunderer who had watched at the gate of St. Cloud might have mistaken Lord Brougham for Mr. Cob den. It is not, perhaps, surprisiug that he was not proof against the fascination of manner and of calm indomitable will that has contributed so much to the creation, and still more to the consolidation, of all hut unlimited power in the present ruler of France. The interview had been desired by his Majesty, end it was valued at the moment by the ardent free trader not as a compliment to the reputation he hail already earned, but as the expression of a ugecions wish to be further informed by competent authority how the revenue of a county might be secured with lightened taxation, and how the wages of labour might be enhanced while invested capital, long used to the arti ficial shelter and forcing beds of protection, was exposed to the all-penetratiog breath of free competition. Beside the political hazard attendant on any failure of a financial experimsut, Napoleon 111. had, by the necessity of his position, to incur the greatest amount of personal reopen. sibility—we had almost said peril—in the matter. No one believed, and no one could be made to believe, that the idea of revolutionising the commercial system of France originated with any minister or any party in or out of doors. What Turgot had so memorably tried and failed to do in the days of legitimate absolutism, there was no man who would venture officially to recommend under the new order of things. Republicans and constitutionalists had always been divided in opinion about the theory of trade, and the traditions of the first empire all seemed to oar the way. The compact weigh tof vested interests lay heavily in one scale, and there was little of any weight in the other but a conviction of truth and right and policy in the mind of the taciturn and nedemonstiative sovereign. What must have been the incisive foice, unaided and self-adequate, that wrought io such a mind as that of the Emperor's such a conviction! Whet would we not give for a snatch of that first conversation, to be followed up in due time by others of like import, between two men so utterly end intensely opposite in their ways of thought and action ! On more than one occasion invitations to the imperial table were proffered, and a wish was intimated through the proper quarter that Mr. Cobden might be included among the au tumnal guests at Compi e gne. But the repugnance to court ceremony and state of every kind was too inveterate to be overcome. He had such honour in his own country, he said, and how could he ecoopt it therefore in another .—British Quarterly Review, January number. Rossi OWE-N'S SONS.—Robert Owen left two sons in America, both of whom have had somewhat distin guished careen. David Dale Owen was, perhaps, the most serviceable practical geologist that the country ever had, Educated in good Swiss colleges, he returned and made • valuable reconnoissance of the geological features of Indiana, of which be became state geologist. His ability being recognised be was employed to make surveys of their mineral wealth and geological structure by the states of lowa, Wisconsin, bits:moots, and Kentucky. His reports were invaluable, and will form the basis of all subsequent explorations of this vast region. His work on the geology of Indiana is especially valuable. He was a few years ago elected the state geologist of Arkansas, and he had nearly completed his surveys of that region when the exposures to which he had been subjected in the prosecution of his work brought on the dimmers of which he died at the age of 50. Robert Dale Owen, his brother, entered upon the career of a denuscratio politician, and was elected to the Congress of the United States, where he served in the term from 1843 to 1847. For some reason, probably because of the extreme pro-slavery tendencies of the democracy, he turned his attention to other things, and wrote two books—" New Views of Society" and " Nista up Public Architecture"— both of which have considerable merit. He partook of the spiritistie excitement, and produced the work which has bums • text-book of the "cirelee•—" Footfalls oa the Bentedarks of Another World.'

Mar news has brae anticipate& LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1866. AMERICA. The Cunard steamer Australasian, from New York on the 10th inst., arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, with 225,700 dollars in specie, and 46 passengers. She passed Queenstown at six o'clock on Friday night, but, owing to a strong south-west gale and a heavy sea and rain, did not consider it prudent to call there. By this arrival we have New York advice, to the 10th inst. The following is Mr. Reuter's summary of the news : The diplomatic correspondenoe concerning Mexico has been submitted to Congress. In July last Maximilian's agent made an unsuc cessful attempt to obtain Federal recognition through the intermediary of M. de Montholon. On November 16 Mr. Seward wrote to Mr. Bigelow, representing that the presence and the operations of the French army in Mexico, and its maintenance of an authority there, cause serious concern to the United States. Never theless the objection of the United States is still ^broader, and includes the authority itself which the French army is thus main taining, and which is in direct antagonism to the policy of the Federal government and the principle on which it is founded. Every day's experience of its operations confirms the justice of the views ex pressed by the Federal government at the time that the attempt to institute that authority first became known. The United States still regard the attempt to establish permanently a foreign imperial government in Mexico as disallowable and imprac ticable, because the United States could not now agree to compromise the position heretofore as sumed. They are not prepared to recognise, or pledge themselves hereafter to recognise, any poli tical institutions in Mexico in opposition to the republican government with which they have so long maintained friendly relations. He dwells so earnestly upon this branch of the political rela tions because at present they supersede those of commerce in the consideration of fhe American people. . . On Nov. 30 Mr. Bigelow reports having read Mr. Seward's despatch to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, who thanked him, though he felt obliged to say that he derived neither pleasure nor satisfaction from its contents. Ou December 16 Mr. Seward writes to Mr. Bigelow that it is the President's purpose that France should be respectfully informed upon two points—Grist, that the United States earnestly desire to cultivate sincere friendship with France. Second, that this policy would be imminently jeopardised unless France could deem it consistent with her interest and honour to desist from prosecuting armed intervention in Mexico to overthrow the existing republican government, and establish upon its ruins a foreign monarchy. Iu conclusion, Mr. Seward says that the United States will not recognise Maximilian, even if the French troops are withdrawn from Mexico. The papers presented to Congress include a con- fidential letter from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. de Moutholon, dated Oct. 18, stating that he had renewed the assurance of the strong desire of the French government to withdraw its auxiliary corps as soon as circumstances permitted. The Freuch government has been ready to adopt,witbout a moment's delay, the basis of an understanding with the Washington government. What it asked of the United States was an assurance that it was not their intention to impede the consolidation of the new order of things founded in Mexico. The best guarantee the French government could desire would be Federal recognition of Maximilian. On December 6 Mr. Seward wrote to M. de Montholon, saying :—" After a review of all the facts, the President is gratified with the assurance you give of the Emperor's good disposition. I regret, however, to be obliged to say that the con dition which the Emperor presents is one which seems to be impracticable." The Senate has adopted a resolution asking the President for information regarding the military order forbidding the exportation of arms over the Californian frontier, and whether the order was not a violation of neutraiity towards Mexico. The House of Representatives has passed a row ', lution asking the President for the correspondence in regard to the kidnapping of a child of an Anie ricau lady in the city of Mexico, by the usurper of that republic called Emperor, under the pretence of I making such child a prince 1 Whether the United States has been asked to interfere with the view of having the child restored to its parents, and what action has been taken upon the subject 1 The resolution refers to a child of Madame Iturbide. The house has also passed a resolution declaring that the military forces should not be withdrawn from the late rebellious States until Congress shall declare their further presence unnecessary. The house has asked for the particulars of the delivery of the Shenandoah to the government. A bill has been reported to Congress from the committee of ways and means, authorising the issue of Forty-year Gold Bonds, for the purpose of funding the floating debt. The interest is to be at the rate of 5 per cent. if made payable in Europe, and 6 per cent. it in America. The bill also pro fvides that interest-bearing notes shall cease to be a I legal tender at maturity. It is reported that the negroes in the interior of Louisiana refuse to renew their contracts, or ,to leave the plantations. I Thirty captains of vessels destroyed by the Alabama have been summoned to appear at Cap tain Semmes' trial. A public meeting has been held at the Coopers' Institute, under the aurpicen of General Rose crauz and others, to denounce the Spanish aggres sion on Chili and the French assaults on Mexico. The attendance was large, and several members of Congress made, speeches. Owing to the ab sence of numerous intending speakers, it was decided to hold another meeting in ten days. The Chilian envoy addressed the meeting, ex pressing the sympathy of Chili with the United States, and denouncing the conduct of Spain towards Chili. Resolutions were passed declaring that the United States, by constantly endorsing the Monroe doctrine, had assumed a responsibility towards sister republics, and obligations to protect them, which it would be cowardly and dishonourable to neglect and repudiate. The Fenian congress at New York has passed a resolution declaring that all Fenian who do not recognise the authority of that congress shall Naas to be members of the brotherhood. Intense cold has prevailed throughout the country since Sunday, the thermometer in New [STAMPED, ld. ADDITIONAL.] York falling 15 degrees below zero, and in other parts of the country to 28 degrees.

Official intelligence announces that the insurgents arrived at Fregenal yesterday evening at'G o'clock, intending to pass the night at that place. On learning, however, that the Royal troops were ad vancing against them, they left Fregenal at 8 o'clock in the direction of the frontier. It was be lieved that they entered Portugal during the night. Twelve battalions of infantry and a squadron of cavalry have been placed under the Governor of the province of Tarragona, in order to disperse the armed bands in that neighbourhood. _ Tranquillity generally prevails throughout Spain. MADRID, Jam 20, EvEmo. It is officially announced that after leaving Fre genal, General Prim arrived near the Portugueee frontier, but upon finding that his passage was in tercepted by a column of royal troops from Huelva he retreated in a northerly direction.

RUSSIA AND THE POPE. VIENNA, JAN. 21. It is stated that France has tendered her good offices in the difficulty that has arisen between the Pope and Russia, in consequence of the interview between his Holiness and Baron 3leyendorff, the Russian charge d'affaires. The French government is said to support the demands of the Holy See for satisfaction from Russia, and to have requested Austria to simulta neously use her influence with the same object. ROME. ROME, J.ui. 20. It is asserted that the Pontifical government has concluded a lean of 50 million francs with Messrs. Rothschild. MEXICO. Official despatches received at Washington, dated Chihuahua, December 2nd, announce that Juarez had entered upon a new Presidential term without opposition. It was announced that the French would return to Chihuahua. Advices from Matamoras, 1;4 New Orleans, state that Mejia had forbidden communication with the American side of the Rio Grande, and requirea all citizens of Matamoros to take the oath of allegiance to Maximilian. THE ALLEGED SUICIDE OF ADMIRAL PAREJA. We read in the No,tl , "The news of Admiral Parent's suicide is confirmed. However grievously the cap ture of the Covadooga may have wounded the self eateeiu of the admiral, especially after the ambitious programme he bad addressed some dos before to the forces placed under his order', it is impossible to believe that this misfortune, for which moreover M. Pareja was not personally respon- Bible, could have been the only motive of his suicide. It must be supposed that the admiral perceived, too late unfortun►tely, that be had entered upon a course dangerous to himself and to his government, in assuming the haughty and threatening attitude towards the republics of South America which he had taken up. • Some time ago,' writes a correspondent of the Ti nips, ' the admiral admitted to Mr. Nelson,theU ailed States minister, that lie had been mistaken is his estimateof Chilian matters. In fact, ever since the fatal 17th September, he has encountered unforeseen difficulties every day. The proud attitude of the Chilian people, and the extraordinary resources they displayed, had disconcerted the Spanish admiral at the very first. Diaposiog of only seven ships for the blockade of more than fifty porta, he could only effect a blockade iu name. The evi•leut exaspe ration of all the Pacific populiiious tilled him with fears as to his re.victualliog ; the bad news he assuredly received from Spain could not leave him in any doubt as to the assistance to be expected from his government. The expulsion of President Pezet by the Peruvians threw another country upon his hands.' To these circumstances must be added the evident sympathy of the diplomatic corps at Valparaiso with Chili—a sympathy which gave the Spanish admiral no prospect of either moral or material support. Under these circumstances, the triumph of the Spaniards became exceedingly problematical ; ' unwilling to recede or to involve his country in endless expenses without profit, Admiral Pareja preferred to commit suicide. Spain loses in him a man who, although still young, had given proof of good capacity both afloat and at • the Ministry of Marine, which he held for two years.

SIR DOMINIC CORRIGAN, BART.—We feel extreme pleasure in being enabled to announce that her Majesty has conferred a baronetcy on Dr. Corrigan, the head of the medical profession in this country. This, we are sere, will i be regarded as a just and well merited compliment, not only to Sir Dominic Condon, but to the profession of which he is so distinguished an ornament. Throughout a lengtheoed, honourable, and useful career, be has exhibited the highest qualities, and boa attained that foremost rank in his profession to which his varied sod profound knowledge, and vast experience so eminently entitled him. The esteem in which he hastiest, always held by all classes of the community has proved bow highly the public have estimated his great and com manding abilities ; while his professional brethren took every ecoasise to testify their appreciation of his merits. j Three veers in soceession, we believe they elected him to the office of President of the College of Physicians—the highest mark of distinction in their power to bestow. The honour thus graciously oonferred on oar distinguished Mow-citizen by the Qneea will, we are ourtein, be swept ' able to the country generally, not only as an acknowledg . meat of the eminence he bas won in hie professioo, but as a dignity bestowed on an Irishman who has been ever I identified with the people and the advaacomeat of their iatenota.—Prawas'a lawn's& MB. BRIGHT ON FREE TRADE IN AMERICA. The following letter from Mr. Bright nppeere in the Chicago Tribune :—" Rochdale, Dec. 2, 18411—Dear sir,—l do not recolleot any paper directly bearing on the question of wages. The fallacy wee made greet use of in our movement for the repeal of the sire laws—honestly by some men. and dishonestly by others. The real argu ment against it is this :—Free trade always means great trade, and great trade always means • great demand for labour, and this always means sod necessitates a high rate of wages. At this moment wages are higher than at any former period in this country, than in any former period, at least, within our recollection. It is so through all our manufacturing districts, although the length of the day's labour is much shorter. It is so also with our farm labourers. In many counties their wages have risen from 25 to 50 per cent. since 1846, when our agri cultural industry was subjected to the competition of all the world. The labourers in America are taxed enor mously in the purchase of many articles, particularly in their clothing. Americans and Englishmen going from England to America now supply themselves with clothing to last them for years ; they buy it for about half the price it would cost in the States, and thus withdraw their trade from the American manufac turers and escape the psymeut of the extravagant duties in the American ports. Protection to the manufacturers of iron and cloth in America may, and doubtless will, enrich some of them ; but it is by a contribution from the whole people to those engaged in these particular branches of in duatry. This system will encourage the investment of capital in the protected trades, and it will teed to deaden industry and invention in those State. ; and whatever is gained on the one hand is far more than lost on the other. When the tariff question is fairly be fore the American people, the trutn will be discovered. They may consent to a moderate tariff for revenue on all great articles of import by which incidentally some pro- tection may be unavoidably afforded to some breeches of manufacture ; but they will not long consent to sustain branches of industry too feeble to sustain themselves, out of the taxes not levied for the service of the Government, but extorted from them by the pro tective fallacy for the exclusive benefit of maniac tumors forming a small portion of their whole popula tion. It should be remembered, also, that the extra profit, if any, given to the ironmarders and maoufac turers, does not go to their workmen. It may increase the dividends of the companies or corporations, but I it does not sensibly raise the wages of their workmen ; for the wages of their workmen are determined by the general rule of labour throughout all the States, sod are not affected in any important or measurable degree by the profits made by the various manufacturing corpora tions. If there be profit in protection or monopoly—and there often is—the workman's share is none at all, or so little as to be imperceptible. A corporation workrug a very profitable patent pays no more wages to work:lieu than a neighbouring corporation carrying on a trade not protected by a patent, and while monopoly may enrich those who possess and enjoy it, it cannot affect advantegeousl7 the interests and wages of the workmen. The workman • safety and success depend upon the state of trade and the greatness of the demand for labour ; and far above any possible interest they can have-1 speak of the whole body of workmen in the United States, or sny other country—in any special protection to any trade, or in the fostering and pampering of any particular manufacture, is the great interest they have in that perfect freedom of trade which creates the greatest demand for labour, and gives the highest vele° to their skill and industry. It is interesting to see the old fallacy, once so potent in this country, now dead and buried in hope sod belief for ever, reappearing with anew life in the Cuitral States,a land where the superstatiocs of Europe have not generally found a con genial home. Happily for the Americans, this question of free trade is not mixed up, as ours was, with a great question, and with the supposed supremacy 01 a powerful territorial and aristocratic clew. They will find out the truth sooner than our people did, and they will be able to discum it free from many circumstances which were formidable difficulties in our way. All the countries in Europe are tending to freedom of trade, and all good and wise men rejoice at it. It will be strange indeed if America, foremost of all the world in the knowledge and possession and practice of political freedom, should be the last in discovering the priceless value of freedom of M. duatry, which may be fairly termed the • Charter of Free dom' to the millions of workmen of every country where industry is free.—l am, 14c., "JOHN Buitair."

THS CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER AND THE MALT TAX.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer having been invited to receive a Suffolk deputation on the subj.-et of tho malt tax, returned through his secretary the following reply :—" lam directed by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21;th ult., and I am to state in reply that, happy as he would be to discuss the subject of the malt tax with the deputation on behalf of which you write, he is unable, on account of the pressure of public business, to make an appointment for that purpose, as he finds it necessary to make it a rule to avoid seeing any local deputations on subjects which apply to the country at large. Mr. Gladstone feels certain you will excuse him on this ground, and be begs to assure you that any statement with which you may be good enough to favour him will receive the best consideration of her Majesty's government." PATENT-OFFICE INQUIRY. —The final report of Messrs. Greenwood and Iliodmarch, the commissioners ap pointed by the Lord Chancellor to inquire into the state of the Patent-ethos, was made public on Saturday. The do- cument is of considerable length, but, in substance, it expresses the opinion that the present staff of the office n far too small, and that the work in several departments is much in arresr in consequence. The commissioners recom mend that the Patent-office museum, which is now located at South Kensington, should be in the same building as the Patent-office, or in some place near to it, but that no as oommodatioaican be obtained for it in.auy existing building near the present office. Of the manner in which the officers have exerted themselves to carry out the provisions of the act of 1852, under which the office is coustituted, the commissioners say : " It was unfortunate that a person so unfit as the late clerk of the patents should have been placed at the head of the offioe, and if there bad not been several officers of ability and energy in the Patent-office, who exerted themselves to the utmost to Garry into effect the new law, the public would have derived little, if any, benefit from the change of the law effected by the Patent Law Amsodmest Act ; and we think that they are entitled to great credit for the manner in which they have formed their system, distri buted their duties amongst themselves, and discharged them. Left to themselves for years without any superb. tending head in matters of detail, they have bad to frame a system as well as work it, and we think it due to the present staff of officers to express our sincere opinion that they have discharged their duties with diligence, intelligence, and conscientious:ten. They have exe rted themselves greatly to invitees the interests of the office, and we think that they have strong claims to the favourable consideration of the commissioners and of the Lords of the Treasury." Some of the recommen dations contained in the report have already been carried out. Amongst these we may mention the erection of a new library lot the use of patentees, which building will, we believe, be ready in the course of the summer. According to the Patent Law Amendment Act, as subsequently amended, there are stamp duties paid upon patents for revenue pureeing which now every year greatly exceed the annual amount of &Ake paid into the Exchequer before the pegging of the act above•mentiosed. Fees were also by . the net required to be paid for the purpose of raising a fund to pay the expenses of the ratent.odles, and carrying the provisdoos of the new law into effect These fear (now paid is tbeshaps of stamp duties) annually amount to a mod' larger sum (50,0004 we believe) than-has ,iner bees expanded for the expense/1o( the aka.

(nos ocs owl cost PARIS, ESCNDAY EVIIMIG. The Moniteur de Soir, speaking of the jousasy of the Empress Charlotte from Mexico to *era Cruz, says that in every stage of the progress in Yucatan', at Sisal, Media, Campeche, and Carmen, "uninterrupted ovations bore witness to the attach ment of the populations to the new institutions which have retored order and security to Mexico, and their gratitude to the gracious sovereign who did not shrink from the fatigue of such a long journey." This paragraph is calculated to encou rage the hopes of those who believe that the Em peror will to-morrow promise to the expectant French nation the evacuation of Mexico. Since order and security "are restored "—not by the French occupation, but by the " new institutions," i.e., Maximilian's solid throne—there is obviously no reason why the Emperor Napoleon should not relieve his people from the heavy burden of the Mexican expedition. The Prase says of the recently published de spatch of Mr. Bigelow, dated November 30, relating a conversation with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, in which the latter said in reply to complaints of the conduct of Maximilian's government, "You do us too much honour to hold us responsible ; if Maximilian has violated your rights, address yourself to him ; you are well able to obtain repara• tion :" It is a happy prognostic that 31. Dronyn de nays thus clearly disclaims the responsibility of the French govern meet. But this aiiclaimer alone is not enough. It is vain for us to decline responsibility for what goes on in Mexico so long as we keep an army there. The only way to make ourselves really irresponsible is to recall our troops. For several days past uneasiness was felt at Brest about the fate of the French Transatlantic packet Europe, which left New York on January 5 and should have arrived at Brest on the IGth. The Europe being the fastest boat on the line no doubt could be entertained when she was long over due that she had suffered from the tempestuous weather. This was the case. She was so badly damaged that she could not attempt to round Cape Ouessant to get into Brest and made for Cherbourg, where she arrived safely, after having done 700 miles in a rough sea with sails alone, her engines being disabled. The passengers and mails were landed at Cherbourg, and the Europe was then towed to Havre by the government aviso Le Dauphin. Princess Anna Murat, now Duchess de Mouchy, accompanied her father on a tour in Egypt in 184i4. iln remembrance of this visit Ismail Paella Las sent a present to the princess on the occasion of her marriage of a diamond coronet worth 100,000 fr.

Gatborne Hardy. having been elected at the general election last July for Leominster as well as Oxford I• uiversity. and having chosen the latter seat, a new election will necessarily take place for this borough ininiediately after the meeting of parliament. In auticipation of this event Mr. Richard Arkwright, of Hampton Court, some time since offered himself to the electors, and has issued two addresses, In which he avows his i rineiples to be conservative, by which be says, "I do not mean that I am opposed to every change, but that while I am willing to give fuil consideration to and adopt, if necessary, all suggestions for the practical remedy of deficiencies which must become appateut during the develepment of every civilised institution, I do nut admit the necessity of any great organic changes in our existipg con stitution in matters connected with church or state" The Ark wright family are highly popular in the borough, and there is little doubt that Mr. Ark wright will be elected. REPRESENTATION OF BREcliNoclE. —The rear approach of the meeting of parliament has revived electioneering Anovemeuts here, as the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Colonel Lloyd Watkins will have to be filled next wre-ic. The Earl of Ifreckuock, the liberal candidate, has issued another address, in which he says:—'• it is now three months maze i last addressed you, and the time is drawing neer when you will be called upon to elect your represeeta live in parliament. The death of Lord l'almirstou, who for so many years conducted the all airs of the, country, is felt by us all as a national loss.

It will be remembered that the object is to celebrate the return of pine liberal members to parliament I,y the county of Surrey and its boroughs, by tooting them to a public banquet ; Mr. H. Lllntl Long presided, and amongst those present were Mr. It. A. C. Godwin Austin, J.P. ; Mr. J. More Molyileux, J. P. ; Captain Mangles, Mr. D. Macdonald, J.P. ; Colonel Ouslow, Mfr. H. A. Adams, J.P.; Messrs. J. T. Pagon, J.P. ; W. W. Pocock, T. A. Curtis, P. W. Lovett, J. Flockley. T. Ittpaell, W. Bridger, W. William son, .1. Mires, Mc. The proceedings were of • most unanimous character, and it would appear from the pacts:al steps which have already been Liken by the committee, that one of the most important demoostratiom which has ever beat held in the county of Surrey wall be the result. After • friendly discussion upon each point proposed, it was re solved that the banquet should he held on Friday, the 2nd of February, in the public hall at Guildford, which is prob. ably one of the largest rooms in the county. The meeting then appointed a general committee composed of the most influential gentlemen attached to the liberal cause in the comity, and it was further resolved to communicate with at least one hundred more, and to invite them toast in concert with the committee, either as stewards or in some other capacity. Several of the members have already bees ap plied to and have expressed their readiness to attend, and it is believed that either Colonel Challenor or Sir E. T. Colebrook, M.P., will occupy the chair at the banquet. Special trains wall be arranged both on the South-Westan and South-Eastern Railway. SEND/Al' THEATRICAL . , PROHIBITED IN NEW Tone.—ln the court of Spvial Sessions yesterday, Henry Bvraodes, proprietor of a lager beer and concert saloon, • very popular place of remit, at No. 7,19, Eighth Avenue, it the Twentieth Ward, was brought up on remand for sentence. He was convicted on Saturday lost of having theatrical exhibitions in his place on Sunday. The evidence on that point was conclusive, and the only point of defence raised was, that altheigh there was a law of this kind there was nobody prosecuted under it, therefore it wee • dead letter ; and being a law that was not enforced, the police making no arrests for breaking the law, defendant thought he bad • right as well as otters to break it. The next point made on the trial was that the hack part of the saloon was sub-let to somebody who, if he chose, could make afros sodomy of it ma theatre. The 'widence was that it was • combination of both, wither • first-class one nor the other. They bed a stage, drop scene, none in long swallow-tail coats and long stove-pipe hats, who carried withered point less umbrellas, and who snug sow, the complainants Peva beard, bat they made everybody Laugh. They laughed too. but they didn't remember on the trial what they ba d laughed at.

A cam of the kind bad been up for trial two lean ago, be believed, bat bow it was disposed of he would not atop to inquire.
