DEPUTATION TO EARL Daluiv.—A deputation, representative of nearly the whole of the metropolitan vestries and district boards, waited upon Lord Derby yesterday at his official residence in Downing-street, in reference to the bill introduced into parliament by Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Tile for the purpose of levying a rate of 41 in the pound over the whole me tropolis for the carrying out of metropolitan improve ments. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P. and Mr. Thomas Chambers, M.P. Mr. Salter Jonatha n : said the apology of the deputation for waiting upon his lordship was the importan'e of the sub ject. Taxation had become so oppressive that it had become difficult to collect the rates from the poorer class. Indeed, it was heartrending to see the number of poor persona that had recently been summoned for rates m the pariah o? St. Pancras. He then proceeded to read the memo rial of the deputation, which, after urging • variety of objections to the bill, quoted some extracts from letters written by Sir John Thwaitcs, the chairman of the Me tropolitan Board of Works, in which he stated ea his opi nion that no further taxation ought, without pressing ne cessity, to be cast upon the ratepayers. The memorialists concluded by urging that the proposed rate ought not to be laid, but that the sums required for metropolitan improvements ought to be provided from the hackney (arrow duties and the coal and wine dues. After some discussion, Lord Derby admitted that the power of the Metropolitan Board of Works was not limited, but the alteration made by the bill was that whereas its previous powers were exercised upon the occu piers of property, they would now be exercised upon the owners, and although the latter might in some cases recoup themselves, be rather suspected that in the majority of cases they would not be able to do so. His lordship then quoted extract", showing that there was a limitation as to the mode of imposition. What, however, be wished particularly to draw their attention to was that the question was not a new one, but that it was taken into consideration by t he late government. He held • memorandum in his hand which showed that the government consented to continue the coal and wine dues for five years on condition that an improvement rate should be also made. As soon as the existing govern ment cone into power they were Much pressed to intro duce the bill, but they thought it would be much better for the Metropolitan Board to do that, and then, follow ing the example of their predecessors, they promised to support it. He was afraid lie could not hold out any hope that the government would recede from their decision. He did not see how in good faith or honesty they could refuse to carry out the promise they had given. Several members of the deputation then addressed his lordship, urging that the ratepayers were wholly unable to bear the proposed taxation, and representing that the question of metro politan improvement was a national, and not • local quite non. The deputation, having thanked his lordship, then withdrew. Tile FACTORY ACT EXTENSION BILL.--A meeting of the Nottingham Chamber of Commerce took place yes terday, for the purpose of considering the bills now before parliament for extending the Factory Act, and for regu lating the hours of labour. After a long discussion, the following resolution was adopted :—" That it is desirable that all lace and hosiery warehouses should be under the saine law, and it is the opinion of the chamber that the provisions of the Hours of Labour Regulation Bill,' with some modifications, will satisfactorily hprotect all persons employed in the lace and osiery trades, and the chamber therefore desires that lace and hosiery warehouse* be exempted from the Factory Act Extension Bill, and that the Hours of Labour Regula tion Rill be passed with such modifications as are necessary is the interest both of employers and employed in the lace and hosiery trade." In case, however, of the non acceptance by the government of the principle of the above resolution, the chamber unanimously passed the following: " Th at in the ' permanent modifications' in the Factory Act Extension Bill the words 'seven in the evening,' be altered to ' eight in the evening.'" A depu tation was appointed to wait upon the Mums Secretary for the furtherance of the above object.

CROYDON SPRING STEEPLECHASES.—INIZSDLY. This popular suburban meeting. owing to unparalleled re verses, has been on the present an a complete failure. Originally axed fur Thursday Mat, the authorities were, in con sequence of the inclement weather, obliged to postpone the gathering till the following day, when the elements were equally unwise: modeling ; but, by dint of clearing the snow off the course. the committee were enabled to have a day's sport on Saturday, and expected to conclude the meeting on Monday. The keen font of Sunday and the heavy fall of snow on Monday morning rendered running quite impossible, and a postponement until to-day wee agreed upon. Several of the horses who had engagements at Warwick were Immediately struck out, end eon. sequently very few were left to contend fur the various events on the card. This morning snow fell int large flakes, alternating with sleet and rain, bat running was found to be practicable, +mat rather than break faith with the public, the committee decided to give the added money in each instance. The course was exceedingly heavy going, In into; places the horses sinking up to their fetlocks in mud. An idea prevailed in London this morning that the chases would not none off, indeed su wall-grounded was the idea that only twenty-there persons availed themselves of the special troth which left Cannenetreet at 11.40. The attendance was wretched, and everything presented a disheartening appearance The sport was entirely devoid of interest, odds being lam •• on' In each case, and all the favourites pulled through.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (azyrzes rizatuuma.) PRUSSIA AND SOUTH GERMANY. MUNICH, Dimwit 19. The official Bavarian Gazette of to-day publishes an offensive and defensive treaty of alliance con cluded between Prussia and Bavaria on the 22nd August, 1866, which has hitherto been kept secret• The contrasting powers mutually guarantee the in tegrity of their respective territories with all the military forces at their disposal. The treaty fur ther stipulates that the King of Prussia is to have the supreme command of the Bavarian army in time of war. MUNICH, Lutem 19, Evicimo. In consequence of the publication of the treaty of alliance between Bavaria and Pruuia the Mili tary Committee of the Chamber of Deputies have resolved to propose to the government to postpone their deliberations until a bill could be laid before them regulating the entire military system in ac cordance with that treaty. The official Bavarian Gaz,tte of this evening says :—" The Bavarian go vernment will endeavour, as quickly as possible, to submit to the Chambers a bill on the reorganization of the army in conformity with the treaty with Prussia. Bavaria does not apprehend that the publication of this treaty could disturb the good relations existing with foreign powers, and especially with France. This treaty is, on the contrary, but a necessary consequence of the prin ciple of nationalities approved by tho Emperor of the French, and a proof of the unity of the German governments. It must therefore be regarded as a guarantee of peace." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Bimini 19. The Russian Credit Foncier has undertaken to offer to the Russian government a guarantee for the payment of interest and the redemption of their letters of hypothecation. Those persons who have bought landed estates in the Polish and western provinces of Rwisia are entitled to a double loan, which is guaranteed by the Russian govern ment to the Credit Foncier on the security of the crown domains.

HEALTH OF THE PRINCESS OF WALEN. —IL is not at all surprising that the condition of her Royal Highneas the Princess of Wales should have given rise, especially in non-medical quarters, to a great amount of anxiety, and that the causes and nature of her prolonged indisposition should have been misapprehended, and its consequences regarded in a more unfavourable light than 1 the circumstanixis strictly justify. Without pretending to possess more information on this very interesting sub ject than our medical contemporaries, we believe that we possess quite as much ; and we believe the factaare, that about a week since very great anxiety dial prevail as to the state of her royal highness, although this anxiety was not shared by her medical attendants. The medical consultations were held three times a day. Dr. Arthur Farre slept at Marl borough-house every night, anal we believe that the sub cutaneous injection of morphia was had recourse to in order to allay the severe pain experienced by the royal sufferer. All these circumstances, although quite consis tent with the fact that no danger t o life ever existed, were quite sufficient to excite the attention of the non-medical attendants of her royal highness, and from some of them, no doubt, the statements which appeared in some of the daily journals were derived. We have no reason to doubt what we have all along believed—namely, that the attack has been one of acute rheumatism, a disease which, under the most favourable circumstances, requires a considerable period of time to run its course ; but, on the other hand, lellowanee must be made for the fears and apprehensions of those who perhaps witness the sufferings which they deplore, and who being probably unacquainted with the natural history of disease, attach more importance to the existence of pain and the continuance of sleeplessness than those symptoms deserve in a pathological sense. There is no disease, as medical men well know, so painful as acute rheumatism, whatever joint it may attack, but there are also few serious diseases in which the prognosis is so hope fut.—Medical Press arid Circular. March '2O. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, SOUTH KEN SINGTON.—The first spring show of the season took place yesterday, when, despite the dreadful character of the weather, a considerable gathering of visitors was present to see the splendid collection of hyacinths, roses, cyclamens, primulas, &c., and other spring flowers. The usual general meeting was also held, Mr. G. F. Wilson, F.A.S., in the chair, when fourteen new candidates were elected fellows, including the Hon. Henry M. Best, Lady Thorold, kc., and the Worksop Floral and Horticultural Society was admitted into union. Owing to the untoward day the lecture " On the Cultivation of Spring Flowers," announced to be given by Mr. W. Paul, was postponed until Tuesday next, the 26th inst. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY AND THE RAGGED SCHOOLS.—Last evening the distribution of prizes to the scholars front ragged schools who have kept their situations for twelve or more months with good characters, took place at Exeter-hall, under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury. Between five and six hundred boys and girls attended, bearing the banners of their respective schools and attended by their teachers. Amongst those who occupied seats on the platform were the Bishop of Victoria, Lord Ashley. the Hon. Cecil Ashley, Sir R. W. Carden, the Rev. It. Berry, the Rev. E. Crombie, the Rev. Mr. Atherton, and Mr. C. H. Moody of Chicago. A report read by Mr. Gent, the secretary, stated that the system of distributing prizes had been carried out during the past 14 years, and that the average number of prizes awarded annually had been 581. The prizes had hitherto consisted of money or of coloured card. for the ornamentation of the children's homes, but on the present occasion it was pro posed to give books with the cards to those who had pre. 'lonely got money. The number of girls who were to receive prizes now fur the first time exceeded that of the boys. In the thirteen previous years the total number of boys who received prizes was 4,402, whilst the number of girls only amounted to 3,150. This year the girls exceeded the boys by Li. The number of prizes to be distributed this year was 136, of which 396 were money and cant prises, and 140 books and cards. The money distributed was 7s. 6d. in each case. After the singing of several hymns the noble chairman distributed the prizes, which, in order to save time, were given to the teachers, to whom their subsequent disposal was entrusted. His lordship, in the course of an interest ing speech, dilated upon the merits of the ragged school system, which he said had effectually succeeded in rescu ing from temptation and crime children who, there was every reason to hope, would be good and useful members of society. Children who would otherwise be like so many wild animals in the streets were now receiving parental care, and were not only domesticated, but Chnstianised. At the conclusion of the proceedings his lordship re ceived a hearty ovation on taking his leave. ANOTHER REFORM MEETING IS TRAFALGAR sOI,AIti.—I.Ast night, pursuant to public announcement a reform meeting was held in Trafalgar-square, under the presidency of Mr. George Potter. Eight o'clock was the hour fixed for the commencement of the proceedings, but at that time there were not two hundred persons in the square, and at no part of the evening were there more than five or six hundred present. The base of the Nelson Column was illuminated with naphtha lights. The chair man, having attributed the paucity of the attendance to the inclemency of the weather, said he had decided upon holding the meeting even under such a disadvantage, as he did not wish to disappoint those who had conic. He then made some remarks condemnatory of the Reform Bill introduced by Mr. Disraeli, and concluded by saying that the working men intended " to make the tones swal low the pill they had prepared for them, no matter how hitter it might be found to be." The only resolution pro posed was entrusted to Mr. Howell, plasterer. It con demned the principles of the tory bill as bad and vicious, and asserted that the bill, which was a mockery, should be thrown out on the second reading. The resolution was, of course, carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated. li NIT RD STATR3 M•ll,B.—MeMlll.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAlLWAV.—Yesterday morning an accident took place at Lichfield, on the Trent Valley branch of the London and North-Western Railway, which narrowly escaped being attended with the moat disastrous consequences. A goods train, which left Stafford for Rugby at $.50 yesterday morning, arrived safely at Lichfield, where it was shunted and some additional trucks were put on. The train after wards started for its destination, but hardly had it cleared Lichfield station ere one of the trucks got off the rails, the consequence being that as the train proceeded along four teen or fif teen other waggons were dragged off the line, bring ing the whole train to a complete standstill. Most of the waggons that were thrown off the rails were loaded with barrels of Burton beer, which rolled about in all direc- Sone, along the line and down the embankment. Con siderable damage was done to the permanent way by the dragging of the trucks, which were very much knocked about. At the time of the accident occurring the express train from Manchester to London, which, after leaving Crewe, only stops at Rugby during the entire journey, was almost slue, but it was stopped by means of the telegraph before arriving at the scene of the accident.

HomE Fox LITTLE Boyt. — The anniversary festival of this institation was held yesterday evening, at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Sir knwell Buxton, M.P, the company numbering about 130. In 1864 the charity was founded at Tottenham, the object being to provide a refuge for friendless and homeless boys, and by teaching them a trade to prepare them as early as possible for earning their own living. The establishment is of a very practical character. Tke yoangest boys are kept in school morning and evening, while the eldest are trained on the half-time system, being inatructed in such employments as breadinaking, tailoring, printing, paper bag making, lee. Last year the foundation stone of some new schools was laidby her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales at Farnisigham in Kent, and here the locale of the institution Will shortly he fixed. Instead of one vast building the committee will hence• forth bave several detached " homes" under their management, each of them accommodating thirty boys, and being under the charge of a man and his wife. All the homes will bear a distinctive name, and the first will, by permission of the Princess of Wales be called " The Alexandra." The cost of the second home, which like that of the others, is 901/., having been defrayed by Dr. Raleigh's congregation at Canonbury, the home itself will receive its name from them. Lady Morrison has recently contributed 900/. for a third home, and the 13Xpeuse of a fourth will be defrayed by Mr. R. Hanbiury, A 1.1%. and a friend. .The bon. secretary, Mr. A. O. Charles, to whose enefietk labours the society owes its existence, has undertaken to meet the cost of another brine by means of an appeal to " Mai:Whiten of England," who have already made a generous response ; and the committee have made an earnest appeal for further assist ance. About s,uuni. is still required to curry out the bene volent wishes of the friends of the institution. At the present time 103 children are receiving the benefits of the matitution, and the committee hope to be enabled to raise the number to 300. The subscriptions announced during the evening amounted to nearly 3,000/. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OP LONDON, REGENT'S PARE. —At a meeting of the fellows of this society, held on Saturday, Mr. C. it.

Professor Bentley was pleased to hear that the society had obtained seeds of this intereating plaut, which is quite distinct from the cocoa nee, from the seed, of which chocolate is made. Many extraolihnary virtues are attnbuted by the South American Indians to the coca. leaf ; they say it supplies the want of ordinary food, and that an Indian with a quid of ooca in his mouth will keep up his strength and vigour without any food for four or five days together. It enables them to climb mountains with ease, and without experiencing any difficulty in breathing. Various maladies are also said to be cured by it. Although these properties appear to be much exaggerated, there is no doubt that thwe who use the owe an: enabled to bear fatigue and abstinence for a length of time without the feeling of hunger or weakness.

In reply to the congratula tions of the archbishop, who spoke in grateful terms of the "guarantee of a better future" affonled to Hungary, the Emperor said :—" I have realised with joy the general desire of the country for the re-establishment of the con stitution. Rut the sure development and consolidation of the constitutional states are subject to two conditions—a sincere attachment to the throne, and a degree of political maturity which renders the practice of constitutional liberty possible.

This speech, especially the last passage, was received, the Vienna Oazetee declares, with enthusiastic applause. WgATEIRR REPORT. WEDNISDLY, Oremsee6tl67. 19 . .75 36 .. Valenti& 19.63 1171 31.
