LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24. Tarr speeches which members of Parliament address to their constituents during the dull season of the political year usually command at tentron which is scarcely proportionate to their worth. The public are so used to listen to the favoured few who, through Parliament, have the ear of the nation, that whet the arena is itser closed, and the war of words is suspended, they follow tl em to the more domestic scenes where, in the confidence of political friendsb'p, they tell their constituents of the great events of the by gone session. It very rarely happens, of course, that anything of great importance is said on these occasions—for it is rot every man who, like Sir Jons Pasuvorox, can tell his conet:.oents how lorg it took a Cabinet to prepare a Reform Bill— but it is at least interesting to have an inside view of great portical occurrences, and to learn how the events of the parliamentary seseon are regarded by those who have been the actors in them. During the present recess the interest of these extra-parliamentary speed es will, ho-never, be much greater than usual. There are my:rat classes of members to whom the ever t• of the :fission must have been of the most painful or surprising, or at least confusing character, bu:, who have never allowed us to hear their vo'ces in the debates. Yet it will be extremely interesting to know what have been the feelings of the mem bers for the boroughs from which one member ii taken and the other left, especially of those who came in second on the poll at the last election. How will they console their bereaved con stituencies, or bow will they comfort them selves t More irteresting still will be the confessions of those Conservative representatives who came to London in the winter with such a mission to resist constitutional change as gave almost the sacredness of religion to their political faith, and who now return with a ire- , creed upon their lips to confess their participation in ono of the greatest changes this century has seen. How will they describe their conversion 1' How will they justify their change of policy ? Will they take their cue from Mr. Disazstr, and contend that Reform was the natural business of the Tory party, snatched from their hands by obtrusive Whiggery in 1832 ; or from Lord Dram; and declare that as Reform must be, and the spoils of office were only to be had by carrying out the people's wish, the Conservative party preferred to do it themselves lest the mischievous Liberals should take a new lease of power t One great peculiarity will, at least, be prominent in all such declarations. The party of resistance will, we may be sure, be universally repudiated. Mr. Lows and Lord CILANBOHNE have no need to consult their constituencies. It will be all the same to them whether the voters approve or not, and everybody knows and respects the motive of their resistance. But as every man will speak to his constituents in ease, and to that yet larger number who are only his constituents in posse, we may be Lure that nearly every member will take credit to h;nuief with the newly enfranchised classes for having offered no resistance to their en franchisement, or even for having actively assisted in it. The curious thing is that, with more or less semblance of consistency, all will be able to do this. Having allowed themselves to be driven into the detested ways of Reform by stress of circumstances and clever manage ment, even the most violent Conservatives will, of course, take credit for having gone into those ways of their own free will. The Liberals, too, will have various stories to unfold. They can at least tell of vigorous opposition to Mr. Dusaksm's elaborately contrived system of checks, though they may have to confess that the disorganization of the party somewhat paralysed their efforts to mould the Act completely to their liking. But they, at any rate, can congratulate their friends on the triumph of their principles, and point the moral " All's well that ends well." We have already had a few of these extra parliamentary utterances, and curiously enough they have come from three different classes of representatives. A Scottish Conserva tive county member, a Liberal member for a large and not well-satisfied constituency, and a Tory representative of • little borough, have all lately addressed their constituents on the great question of the day. Sir GRAHAM-GRAHAM MONTGOMERY, in speaking of the Reform Bill to the farmers of Peebleashire, could only plead that it was absolutely needful that Reform should be settled, and that the new Act had settled it. Mr. WALT= MORRISON, speaking to his constituents at Plymouth, had some difficulty in explaining his reit& on to the celebrated gathering in the tea-room, and confessed himself to have been "rather stag " gored," and some of his weaker brethren to have been " much staggered," when they were brought face to face with the startling possibility that the Bill might become a measure for household suffrage, pure and simple. It was this staggering, no doubt, which made the course of some Liberal members a little unsteady for a time, but they are now quite accustomed to the new sensation, and will walk henceforth in the ways of regenerated liberalism with unfalter ing steps. But the most curious and characteristic declaration with which the recess is likely to fur nish us was that made by Mr. HARDY, the Tory member for Dartmouth, to his little handful of constituents on Monday night. He told his Tory supporters that he owed them an apology, but to his Liberal constituents he owed none, for he had answered their most sanguine expectations, and even gone beyond them. His apology for the measure was, that he hoped the bill would turn out better than they could expect. For his apparent change of opinion he apologised by saying that "he should not so far have cow " witted himself had he not been driven to it ;" and in the matter of his opinions he felt as some of his constitivents might feel " when they had a " 101. note, which when partially changed soon " went altogether." Mr. HARDY is one of those men who are chosen by little boroughs for pure'y local reasons, and whose change of policy may - .aye no influence on his seat. He could afford to MIL1:8 this open and candid confession, and he is just the man to blurt out feelings which more culti vated men and better politicians would hide away from vulgar eyes. No doubt he has given us the true account of Tory acquiescence in Reform. Mr. DISRAELI drove them to it. He go;. them on the slope, and they found the descent easy. He persuaded them to make a small change in their principles, any they found that when once those principles were partially changed they soon went altogether. But perhaps Mr. HARDY will be almost alone in publicly confessing this to his constituents and the public. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) Alone among the Teutonic and Scandinavian races Englishmen, says the Times, have remained faithful to thaw rural instincts which distinguished the northern from the Boman world. It is not extreme heat or malaria fever that at this time of the year empties London of its Upper Ten Thousand. September is the plea nantest of the twelve months in town, no less than out of town ; it bouts the freshest air and the most genial temperature. The Latin races never acquired the love of the country ; the Transatlantic Anglo- Saxons have lost it. In Rome even the farmers, or mer e:anti di compagna, have their homes within the city walls. But, adds our contemporarf, it is not at Buxton or Brighton, at Torquay or Cheltenham, any more than in London, that we look for our homes—for the homes of our preference. Our English homes, palace homes or cottage homes, are scattered " all o'er the pleasant land;' and to these we own, back, even when caprice or love of change has induced us to fritter away some of our time with our neighbours at their summer idling placed. Discussing the topic of the composition and summoning of juries, the Times observes that the acts of parliament on this subject are not free from defeats both of omission I and of expression, but the machinery provided for the ex ecution of the acts is the faultiest part of the whole. If the law were fully and impartially enforced, and all who fall within the terms of the qualification were required to serve in turn, the burden would not fall very heavily upon any ; but it IN administered in each a manner, there are so many avenues to escape open to the instructed, that the wonder is the public discontent has not almady manifested itself more openly and unmistakably than it has. Common to both special and ordinary juries is the essential grievance of the defects in the jury lists. The Times hopes that the select committee on this subject will be reappointed next merlon, and continue to its close the investigation they have so carefully commenced. In an article on the Spanish insurrection the Day/revs thus speaks of Name; the present ruler of Spain :—His public career has been one of alternate violence and in• trigue, like that of most of hie colleagues and competitors. What distinguishes him from the rest is that his violence has succeeded better than his intrigues. He has been the man of extreme situations—the last resort of the clerical and reactionary parties, and of the permanent conspiracy of libertinism and superstition which reigns in the recesses of the royal palace. From time to time this sanguinary political Sangrado has been summoned bythe ounarills. who had disgraced him from an exile not so voluntary as he wished it to be believed, and which he always declared to be a perpetual retreat from publics affairs, to try a course of drastic measures and copious bleeding. His one idea of government Is brutal terrorism. _ Refei.ing to the speech of the Bishop of Rochester at Wolverhampton, and to the severe work of the Bishop of London, the Pat says that the case for more bishops is fully made out by the facts with which bishops have to deal. Whether these additional prelates should be in all respects as important in social rank as those which now obtain is a matter for consideration. We do not want more spiritual peers, or more dignitaries as such, but that the populous parts of the oonntry want more episcopal superintendence is beyond dispute. If this necessitates that the bishops should be peers and have 5,000 f. a year, that is the fault of the state, not of the church, only do not starve the church in deference to a whim of the state. THE WEEKLY PRESS. In an article entitled " Let na Look Back," the Examiner utterly rejects the notion that the reform scheme was a deliberate plot, hatched in the perfidious brain of one wily man ; and that all the shifting scenes and ilia solving views were pre-arranged by him with devilish can ning and unscrupulous art. This is rank injustice ; and • miserable proof of incapacity to comprehend or judge. The Examiner too ascribes the chief part to Mr. Disrali ; but it also believes that the astute and subtle leader of the Commons at the beginning of the session knew no more than the mace at the end of the table how the enigma was to be solved. It would have been no enigma if he had known ; only a cheat at cards. He knew all he could know, that 1 a great thing was to be done, and that a great opportunity lay before him, and that it needed great pluck and temper and skill to work the oracle: that it did not matter • button what moves might be made by his adversaries if he was only ready and able to outplay them. For this one thing was necessary, and one only—that he should take the prejudices of his party and put them in his pocket until all was over. How he did this, and why they let him do it, we honestly confess we don't know, and we don't know anybody who does know ; but that Mr. Dimwit did it we all know, and that having done this he won the game. The Examiner is of opinion that the next point of popular desire will be the ballot. The Eastern question goes on—fatal, oontinuous, unend ing —observes the Saturday Review. France and Austria may wish that there should be • lull, but no lull comes. Russia is always at hand to pave the way for future en crosehmenta, and meanwhile to protect Christianity. The Christiana sre there waiting to be protected, and longing to have their day of vengeance. Even the Sultan himself is treading in the path of his adversaries, lie has thought it lawful to be taught by an enemy. A state of things In which the Sultan protects Christians, and • Christian Prince does not protect Jews, cannot fail to alarm those who wish all things to remain as they are. If the evil day la to come, then those whose interests nearly approach must combine to prepare for the future. We may quite believe the telegrams when they tell ns that France and Austria are agreed about the East. No other question can be mentioned where their interests are so closely identical. If France and Austria act together in the matter, they can accomplish easily what either can only do with difficulty if acting without the other. Just at this moment, moderation, prndenoe, and reticence are the order of the day. The Sultan is to be allowed for a short time to exercise himself unassisted in the novel and agree able teak of protecting Christianity. The East is, if pos sible, to be kept quiet, and it may be that it is to be kept quiet because France and Austria think they will have enough to do elsewhere. The Chronicle, under the heading of " the Moscow Con spiracy," remarks that for a thoughtful observer the Sla vonic demonstration at Moscow la of far greater interest than the Paris Exhibition, which really prawn to nothing new, but merely a splendid collection of things well known, whereas the Mosoow meeting is a sign to the whole of Western Europe that • cloud is gathering in the far East, which will in • short time, perhaps, darken the entire horizon. Panalavisni means, in the first place, a union of all the members of the Slavonic race, and, in the second place, an oppo sition to the whole Romano-Germanic system, without which the Slavonia movement would have no object. The Moscow Congress was attended by representa tives from all the Slavonic nations except Poland. Poland has certainly the merit, even in the lowest depths of her misery, of rejecting the enticements of Russia, and courageously bringing to light the inherent falsehood of Panslavism. In defending her own na tionality against Russia, she is defending the principles of Western civilisation against the inroads of Orientalism, and the whole of Western Europe is her debtor. The Moscow conspiracy will be answered when the Polish ques tion is made an order of the day. The Spectator is, on the whole, inclined to the belief that the telegrams from Salzburg are in the main true, and if true they bode no good to the permanent peace of the world. Two very considerable empires, one admittedly strong, one perhaps stronger than it is for the moment be lieved to be, are united in the resolve to arrest a move ment which has almost the force of a convulsion of nature, the movement of the Germanic people towards unity. The Spectator does not like the part sesigned to England in this drama at aIL There is not, indeed, the slightest pro bability that Queen Victoria will visit Paris as a sort of Empress of Britain, with Mr. Disraeli for Vizier, pre pared to sign alliances and take part in arrangements for remodelling Europe. But it must not be forgotten that the existing ministry is by long prepossession Austrian, that Mr. Disraeli believes it the duty of Great Britain to be servile to Napoleon, and that the interest of Greet Britain in the East is, on the whole, identical with that of Austria. Thetelegram may be a pure invention, in form it is certainly an absurdity, but it is a strange one to circulate just after the Empress Eugenie's visit, and with Napoleon's imprimatur. The mere rumour of such an alliance tends to make him strong, and Napoleon's strength just now is not a guarantee of peace. the Court. FLOORS CASTLE, KELSO, Amcor 22. Her Majesty drove out yesterday afternoon with the Duchess of Ito:burghs, and will make an excursion to- day to Melrose Abbey and Abbotdord. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial- Aloe from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, and St. Helena. Despatches were cent to the Governors of the Settle- ments on the West Coast of Africa. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, PamAy, To-day the Queen visited Jedburgh, about 10 miles month of Kelso. The ancient border town was not behind its neighbours in loyal manifestations, and its decorations were even on a more ambitious scale. The weather was again favourable, and there was a large concoure of people at several points in the route. In the gaily deeo rated market place there was • lively demonstration. Provost Deans presented the royal address, which was graciously accepted. The Queen's carriage slackened its pace in passing the Abbey, but no further stoppage was made. After • drive through the grounds of Hartrlgge House the royal party returned to Floors Castle. in the evening preparations were being made for departure to Balmoral ..., ----. SATURDAY MORNIRG. The Queen left Kele° at 11.22 p.m., and passed Edin burgh this morning at 16 minutes past 1 o'clock. The Earl and Countess of Strafford are expected to leave Cowes to-day for Wroth= Park, near Hadley, Harts, after wive& weeks' yachting. The Earl Cowper him arrived at his shooting box In the North of Scotloud from Panshangor, Herts. The Hon. H. Cowper, M.P., his lordship's brother, has gone on a tour in the United States of America, and will pro. bably be absent from England until early in the ensuing 'ear. _ . . The Earl Brownlow, whoa at his shooting quar ters in the Highlands, intends to return to Ambridge early in October at the latest, and afterwards to go to Belton House, near Grantham, for the winter. Lord Stanley, M.P., left town yesterday for Knowsley, the Earl of Derby's seat near Liverpool, where his lordship will stay about ten days before going to Soot land. Lord and Lady de Mauley are about to leave town for Italy. The Hon. Misses Ileathcote have arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. Admiral Sir Augustus Clifford, the usher of the Black Rod, has left his official residence at the New Palace, Westminster, for his residences at Ryds, We of Wight. Colonel Taylor, M.P., and Mrs. Taylor and family have arrived at their heat near Balbriggan, county Dublin, for the autumn. It is not unlikely that both Lord Stanley and Mr. Disraeli will visit Ireland during the recess. THE LATE Dout OF NORTROMERRLAND.—The pre: ent appearance of Alnwick betokens the universal respect in which the aged duke was held by all classes. There is hardly a shop which has not one or more abutters on ita w:ndowa • and over most of the private windows the white curtain has been drawn. The body has been !Oared in a shell and will be further enclosed in a lead which will be placed in one of more costly materials and workmanship. The body will lie in state in Alswick Castle on Monday and Tuesday next, and the funeral will take.place on Wednesday, when the Percy Artillery Bri gade, of which the duke was honorary colonel, has orders to site id. The ceremonies on these days will be similar to those at the death of Duke Algernon in 1865.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE,. (nom', madams.) THE IMPERIAL MEETING. VIENNA, AUGUST 24. The New Free Press of to-day states that the Emperor Napoleon has offered his good offices to Austria as regards recommending the papal government to consent to the proposed revision of the Concordat. MUNICH, At,Gun 24. The Emperor Napoleon, on passing through this city yesterday, raised the Bavarian General Hohenhausen, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, to the rank of officer of the order, remarking, at the same time, that the Bavarian army had always fought valiantly. MONTENEGRO. VIENNA, AUGUST 24. Advice. received here from Cettigne announce the discovery of a conspiracy having for object the overthrow of the Prince of Montenegro and the union of the principality with Servia. THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. (ILIUM% wane.) MADRID, Ammer 21. The following is an extract from the latest official despatches published by the Captain-General of Catalonia : In the province of Lerida the band under Contreras, about 200 strong, organised at Viella, surprised a detaah ment of 21 oarabineers. On the 18th this band was at Habora and Sore ; it is being pursued by the battalion of Lae Navas. The bend which was organised at Ayton i t broken up, and its scattered members are closely pressed by a column of troops, who h►ve captured a quantity of arms of a very inferior description. The greater part of the band are giving themselves up to the authorities. At Girona there are no insurgents, those who entered that province beaded by General Pierrad (not by Contreras or Milano se was stated) having been pursued, and have returned to France, where they were disarmed by the French ►uthorities ; they are now all confined in the Citadel of Perpignan. The greatest tranquillity reigns in the province, and perfect loyalty is everywhere displayed. In the province of Tarragona the insurrec tionary bands are Hying in all directions, and the spirit of the troops is excellent. The military commandant has notified the public that the movement is completely dominated, and that many insurgents are surrendering to the authorities. For this reason the captain-general has promulgated the following amnesty to all insurgents giving themselves up within three days : " Several bands of insurgents have been beaten and dis persed. Those who were under the command of the rebels Pierrad, Contreras, and Pajol have been forced to return to Franca. Those still in the province are quite panic-stricken, and a large number of insurgents harassed by the Queen's troops and dispersed are unconditionally making their sub mission andgivingup their arms. As 'faithful interpreter of the magnanimous sentiments of her Majesty the Queen (whom God preserve), and in order to reassure the impru dent,who may have allowed themselves to be misguided in a moment of blindness, and whom I thus distinguish from obstinate rebels, I profit by the montaneous movement now observable to emancipate them from the stem rigour of mili tary law and thereby grant a free pardon to all insurgents who, within the rigorous delay of three days, shall present themselves and claim the benefit of the pre sent amnesty. " Barcelona, August 19, 1867. (Signed) " Oorirr nz Crum, Captain General." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Mom otri tows PARIS, F&wiY EVXXLNO. The Salzburg interview is over. The Emperor and Empress were to leave this morning, and are expected at Strasburg at 11 this evening. They will pass the night as guests of the Prefect of the Haut Rhin and return to Paris to-morrow. The great pains taken to protest that all the published news of the conversations between the Emperors is untrue, and that their interview was of a purely private character, confirms the belief generally entertained that an alliance between France and Austria is impossible. The translation of the ashes of the Duke of Reichstadt to Paris will pro bably be the only result of the meeting. There is a rumour that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will come to Paris in the beginning of Sep tember instead of in October as lately stated. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was at his country-house in the Doubs, has come to Paris to receive, the France says, such instructions as the Emperor may be pleased to communicate to him touching the Salzburg interviews. Afterwards he will go back to preside at the council-general of his department. There is much laughing at the terms of a tele gram stating that the Emperor Napoleon transacted business (travai/14) with M. de Beust, the Austrian prime minister. That gives quite a false idea of the situation. It appears from a note in the Moniteur that Juarez entered Mexico city on July 15. The French government has letters to the 20th (five days later), and yet it is only able to say that the proximate departure of the French legation was " probable.:' This is pregnant confirmation of the news that M. Dano has been a prisoner. The latest Spanish news in the Epoque is thus worded : Our latest information confirms all we stated yesterday. The movement continues to gain ground. There are ►t this moment 6,000 insurgents in arms in Tarragona and the envi- rons ready to go forward on the first signal. The heart of the insurrection is in Tarragona. As to the facile vie forks chronicled by the Haves agency over bands dispersed as moon as seen, we repeat that these bands systemati cally avoid fighting, and that their appearance on certain points, as well as their dispersion, are the result of a plan to weer out the Queen's troops and propagate agitation. We are enured that a panic broke out in Madrid on the news of Prim being In Spain, and hence the proclama tion of the state of siege. It is much remarked that the Monifeur says curtly the Spanish government considers the in surrection put down, and avoids expressing any opinion of its own to that effect. At the Bourse Route declined at one moment to the extent of about 10c. but recovered to yes terday's prices. There was scarcely any change in other leading securities. A large sale of Spanish stock produced a fall of per cent. N&aaow ESCAPE or BARON vox Barn. —The German journals state that Baron von Bengt had a narrow escape of his life while lately at Gastein, before he repaired to Salzburg. Riding out in company with Prince Charles Auersperg, the princess, and his secretary, M. Hauffmau, the party came to a steep ascent. Baron von Beust was the first to arrive at a narrow place, on one side of which was • precipice. As a single false step of his horse would pre cipitate him into the abyss, he deemed it prudent to die- mount, and while in the act of doing so a sudden movement of the animal caused him to slip over the edge. His com panions deemed him lost, but providentially be caught footing, and was rescued with no other injury than a few contusions and scratches. There have been several instances lately, ob serves the Army and Navy Gazette, of discontent in regi ments arising from the refusal of the medal for long and good service to men quite entitled to it. The regulation limiting the number of such medals, no matter how many may deserve them, seems vexatious and unreasonable. It is • coveted distinction, and it is looted for with anxiety, and regarded with pride by than who get it, whilst the bl refusal of it to man equally deserving causes eniy, ood. and diustadaslion. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —(THIS LAT.) This forenoon the ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders wee held at the King's-cross Terminus Colonel PACKE, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the traffic receipts exceeded those of the last ear 31,586 7 ., the gross receipts for th e balance 992,3731. The net receipts were 454,3781. Th e available for dividend was 163,9331., which wool; enable the directors to declare • dividend of 41. 10s. pe r cent. per annum on the original stock, giving for the half to 2/. sa. to the original stock, U. 10s. to the A, an d to the B. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report said he bad again with regret to announce • diminutisi of dividend, but he believed that wag only what every other railway chairman had in common with himself to announce. He thought he could give • satisfactory er. planation of this. In the first pleas the trade of th e country had declined very materially during the half•year, and the consequence was • diminution of traffic. It was found necessary in May and June to increase the wages of the officials up and down the line. The directors thought the only plan to adopt was to act fairly towards their men, so that the public might have no reason to complain. The compensation this year had increased very much, and he must complain of the unfairness with which Lord Campbell's act operated. Then all the wham= expenses when the board obtained • bill were against revenue. The accounts were so plain that any one might comprehend them. Sir W. Hutt admitted in parliament that theirs were the best kept railway accounts in the kingdom. They would es far as possible confute their operations to the Great Northern proper, and dtminish the expenses in every way they could. The line was in admirable order, and be believed it was second to none for security o ar{ stability. The chairman explained why the agreement with the Great Eastern Company had fallen through, but he trusted that an arrangement would soon be arrived at which would be mutualiy satisfactory to both boards. Colonel DUNCOMIIII4 ILP., seconded the motion. A rather protrsebd discussion ensued, but ultimately the report was adopted end the meeting terminated, THE TAILORS' STRIKE. MEETING AND DECISION OF THE GENERAL COMSITITFJL-(THIS DAY.) - • - • This morning a full meeting of the general committee and shop delegates of the Tailors' Association (adjourned from last night), was held at the Central Committee Rooms, Ling-street, Regent-street, for the purpose of considering the position of the strike, ccese quent on the result of the trials at the Central Criminal Court. The whole condition of affairs underwent a keg and careful consideration, and the delegates reported a is the general feeling amonit the men on strike. After cow siderable discussion it was resolved, without any din sentient, to continue the strike until it was brought to a succeedul termination, and a sub commit was appointed to a scheme by which the strike ought to carried on without transgressing the limits of the law, as laid down by Baron Bramwell at the time. It was also resolved that an aggregate meet. zi; of the trade should be held as early as possible to en. done the above resolutions of the committee and the scheme to be proposed. The prevailing feeling in the trade, it was stated, is to continue the strike, even should it extend over the winter and into the next summer sea. son. 'here is a strong feeling wiliet the masters conic grunt on the promendoas. THE PROPOSED REFORM FETE AND BANQUIT.— At a meeting of the general committee, held last night at the Working Men's Amociation Rooms, Mr. G. Potter in the chair, letters were read from Mr. Bright, M.P., Ili. T. Hughes M.P., Mr. J. 8. Mill, M.P., Mr. Torrent, M.P., General Thomproo and other gentlemen, approving of the proposed fete, and promising their tics. The chairman reported that the sub-committee had that day waited upon the directon of the Crystal Palace, who had entertained the proposal in the most liberal manner. Arrangements had therefore been made for bolding the fete on Mooday, the 30th of September. The directors bad placed the large concert-room near the central transept, capable of accommodating 2,000 persons, at the displ of the committee for the banquet, respecting which satisfactory arrangements had hem made with the refreshment contractors at the Pekes The secretary reported that letters of invitation to the banquet had been sent to Earl Russell, Messrs. Gladstone, Bright, J. S. Mill, Forster, Stansfeld, P. Taylor, the O'Donoghne, and other liberal members, also to the whole of the metropolitan members, and that several of them bad already accepted the invitation. A resolution was adopted inviting the co-operation of all trade, friendly, temperance, and other societies of working men. With the object at making the fete partake as far as possible of a national character, it was also resolved that invitations to co - operate • oleo he sent to the Reform League, the National Reform Union, and all the reform associations throughout the country. The sub-committee were also ordered to make arrangements with the railways for the running of excursion trams on the day of fete. A VICAR ON CHURCH RATER—To those of the clergy rates, w w oh may hold y co in " m e t ro e, g n " ad op d inion re. s in favour htelyaelim oLctur h t congregation by the vicar of Leamington, the Rev. Mr. Craig. This gentleman—wiser than many of his brethren —recognises the fact that the church of England is "in a state of transition," end justly believes that the time is fast approaching when the compulsory collection of church rates must come to an end. He therefore advises his people to peepers themselves for the exercise of the liberality and self-sacrifice which characterise nen• conformist bodies in reference to the maintenance of re ligions worship. It is time, Mr. Craig thinks, that churchmen " should educate themselves in the principle of giving, so as to be prepared to enetein those burden which mast inevitably fall upon them." It could to wished that other' of the speaker's co-religionists—both clergy and laity—were impressed with this wise five sight, and animated by the same spirit of justice,—Bin stisegAms Poet. A CLIROYMAN FINED FOR ASSAULTING • BOY. — Yesterday, at the Rochdale police-court, the Rev. Thomas Carter, vicar of Littleborough Church, was charged with assaulting James Turner, a boy shoot 12 years old, on Sundey. The ease created some enito meat in the town and neighbourhood. Mr. Roberts for the complainant, and Mr. Whitehead 73:ri r e d d the rev. gentleman. The facts that rams out in evidence proved that, on Monday week, the scholars of Littleborough Church—the complainant being one of them—were engaged amusing them selves in a field in the neighbourhood, when James Turner, and two more boys threw some cow manure on to the garments of Mir Chadwick, defendant's wiles sister. The complainants alleged that it was done acci dentally, but the other side urged that it was done pun palely. On Sunday the Rev. Thomas Carter walked into the schoolroom, and after reading prayers and singing • hymn he called the complainant and the other two boys up to him, and best them with a cane. James Turner's right arm was shown to the magistrates. and was found to he discoloured above the elbow. Mr. Whiteheed, in de fence, urge d that the magistrates, in this case, were caned upon to eeide how far it was beating with undue seventy and whether his client acted with any malicious feeling.
