The concluding day at this meeting had less interest as affect ing the Derby than Tuesday ; in fact, it was the general remark that never before had the Bath reunion passed off with fewer sensational featares. The two favourites for the Derby have maintained their relative positions in the quotations with re markable firmness, the form displayed by their respective stables being all that could be desired by their followers, but throughout the afternoon 0 to 4 was offered on the field without inducing backers to Invest. Another Dane bury Derby representative, in Lecturer, was introduced into the market, about whom 5000 to 20 was taken, the acceptor offering to lay level money the horse started. The racing commenced at a quarter pad one, and concluded at 4.15 with the Welter Stakes. The Weston Stakes, for two-year-olds, Introduced Arundel, a colt of Lord Stamford's, who came out with such a great reputation that in the face of a large field he wu made first favourite: but Yrirxmnler was so freely supported that eventually be had the call, and u will be seen had no diffi culty in carrying the • • Mexican bine" of Mr. Pryor triumphantly put the post. The Somersetshire Stakes followed, and twelve horses of the fifteen "coloured" went to the post, and on the numbers being hoisted speculation was very spirited, Sandal at 9 to 4 and Lord Zetland at 100 tosO receiving the greatest amount of support. Pintail, Whalebone, and Nightwatch were the only other animals supported for sums worth mentioning, and the invest meats in their favour were not very large. The race, run at a good pace, wu, however, devoid of Interest till making the turn for home, when Pintail and Whalebone singled themselves out, reducing the race to a match from the distance, and Mr. Payne's mare had apparently the best of It till reach ing the inclotture, where Kenyon, however, called on the three-year old, who gamely answered, and won a race by half a length. The winner, although on goo d card u Mr. Ten BroecKa, is the property of Lord Porta mouth, and ran la that nobleman's colours. Th e Bedminster Stakes afforded another instance of Friponnier's excellence, for with odds of 9 to 4 on him he defeated his opponents in a canter. The excellent railway arrangements enabled the visitors to reach town in good time, and the only noteworthy feature of the journey was the desire to back Rustic for the Derby, 5 to 2 being taken kindly, and the impression was general that he would start first favourite. . _ CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before lb. Jusiim Montagu Smith.) John Payee and Jae. Smith eerier, bo th respectable looking men, surrendered in discharp of their bail to an swer an indictment charging them with the manslaughter of Mr. Alfred Alford, on the 31st Marsh I. Mr. F. A. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton and Mr. Barns defended Pane; and Mr. Met calfe, instructed by Mr. Thorns, Beard, of Basinghall street, appeared for the defendant Carter. The Note of the case appeared to be these The two defendants were the drivers of two rival omnibuses, the one belonging to the General Omnibys Company, and the other to a private proprietor of the name of EmanneL The deceased was riding outside one of the vehicles when they came into collision, when the deceased was thrown from the carriage on which he was riding, sad watered an injury to his leg from which &rantingly his death muted. The medical evidence went to show that the injuries the deceased had received to his leg accelerated a pre-existing disease of the kidneys from which he was suffering. On the part of the defence it was contended that the night was extremely dark and foggy, and that both the prisoners were driving at a moderate pace along the Com mercial-road East, and that the collision which had led to the catastrophe was the result of mere accident. After hearing the learned counsel for the prisoners, the jury concurred in that view of the case, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

The defendants all pleaded guilty. Mr. Poland, with whom was Mr. Bailey, stated that he appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the corporation of the City of London. The facts disclosed were that from 11 o'clock in the morn • ng until half-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon a great nuisance had arisen to the tradesmen and other residents in the neighbourhood of Gracechurch-street, in consequence of the congregation of betting men in Ship-yard and Bell-passage, both leading into Leadenhall-market, by which the traffic was greatly interfered with and interrupted to the annoyance of the neighbourhood. The defendants now before the court bad pleaded guilty, and on the part of the prosecution he w..s prepared, with the sanction of the court, that the defen dants should be allowed to go at large on entering into their recognisance" to appear to receive judgment if called upon. The recognisance' were entered into by order of the court, and the defendants were discharged from the dock.

In reply to Mr. Armor!, Mr. CHILDERS stated that the Bankruptcy Bill would • stand first on the orders for to-morrow, and would pro bably be than proceeded with, supply coming afterwards. , Curtain members, however, had asked for the postpone ment of the Bankruptcy Bill ; and if the Attorney-General assented to that course, supply would be taken as the first order. The house adjourned at five minutes to 6 o'clock. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. norrniousis. The nomination for this borough took place yes terday morning at ten o'clock. Capacious hustings were erected outside the Exchange-hall window., so that the crowd of electors and non-electors were in the great Market-place. About 30,000 persons were present. There was a good deal of hooting, groaning, &c., from the opponents of the different candidates as the latter made their appearance on the hurting'. Mr. Bernal • Osborne appeared to be the poplar: , candidate. There were plentiful cries of " No. 30, " Pump-handle Cos ' sham, " Cowjnice," " Traitor Osborne," " Baby Lord," "Tory Baronet," he. ; and the Nottingham lambs =s tained the notoriety they have lately achieved. The usual formalities having been gone through, Dr. Rumor proposed Lord Amberley as a fit and pro per per son to represent Nottingham in parliament. e, hooting, cheers, and cries of " He's not big enough.") Mr. Howirr seconded the nomination. Alderman Baantsr proposed Mr. Handel Corbin. (Loud cheers, terrine yelling, groans, and cries of "Go to Brietol,"" Pumpbandle," " Pumppuce," tec.) Mr. Jars proposed, and Mr. Limesiory seconded Mr. Ralph Bernal Osborne. (Immense applause, and cries of "Tory in disguise," " Traitor," " Go to Liskeard," he.) Mr. F. C. SMITH proposed, and Mr. W. PARSONS seconded fir Georg::. Samuel Jenkinson, Bart. (Cheers and groans, cries of We won't have him," "Go home, you Tory baronet," ha) There was a great display of party colour on the hurt imp. Lady Amberley was conspicuous by the abundance of yellow (the radical colour of Nottingham) trimmings she wore ; whilst Lady Jenkinson (who was also on the blurting', besides a number of other ladies) was dressed in Niue, the conservative colour. It was one of the most extisordinary nominations that has ever taken place in Nottingham. The windows of the great Market-place were filled with ladies and gentlemen, and at every signal from their own party on the hurting., the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and the tremendous sheering of the immense crowd w hich had assembled in the Market-place, was really most exciting. Sir Robert Clifton was on the platform, whilst Lady Clifton occupied one of the windows in the Market-place. The mob were ea the whole good humoured. A great number of police end special constables were present, and there was also a troop of the 15th Hussars stationed at the barracks ready at a moment's notice. Lord AMBERLRY was received with cheers. He should not hays ventured to come forward except at the express desire of the united liberal party—(cheers and groans)— but, having received such an invitation, he considered it to be his duty not to decline the contest, however arduous it mirilit be, but to endeavour, by coming forward, to unite the liberal party in Nottingham—(cheers and his/way—and to obtain a victory for the liberal muse. (A Voice—" You're only a baby.") This was a contest between liberalism and couservatism. (Groans.) Whether they looked to the question of liberal reform, or of free trade, or of religions liberty, they would find that the great measures which had done so much for the prosperity of the country had been passed in spite of the opposition of the conservative party, and although in some cases they might have yielded at last it had been a tardy and ungraceful conces sion. Therefore it was not for himself indi vidually, but on behalf of the liberal cause and liberal opinions that he asked for their support, and it would be his endeavour to perform in the most conscien tious and zealous manner the duties which would devolve upon him, so that they might not say they had got an in competent member. (Cheers and groans. ) Mr. Cossicur was received with yells from thousands of throats and cheering from his friends on the hustings. He said he trusted this contest would be conducted in a fair and orderly manner. (Cries of " Well done, pump-handle.") He had had the honour of being invited to the town in connection with Lord Amberley. Ho could not boast of the claims which his lordship had, bet they had invited Lim by the almost unanimous voice of the constituency. His views of political subjects were of a most liberal character. Most of them had had an opportunity of bearing those views—lA Voice--" Too often")—and he asked them if those views were not in har mony with the great majority of the liberal party? (Cheers and uproar.) He had spent nearly twenty years in the liberal cause. (A Voice— ' to America.") Mr. D. FAULKNER was received with ridicule and partial applause. He pulled otf his coat before he addressed the meeting, and made a most eccentric speech amid great interrnption. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE RIM received with tremenilous !beep', waning of bete, groans, hisses, Sc?. He colgrat!.!. hated that great constituency on the goodly array of candi dates standing before them. Five was a lucky number— lye was the number which carried the bill for the eaten- Mon of the franchise. (Cheers.) He hailed number five with acclamation, and he would tell the paid hirelings of the sham liberals that he should be first of the number five to-morrow. (" You must be," and cheers.) The live candidates presented the appearance of a happy, but not of a united family. ((,heers.) They knew they were all reformers now—all reformers, though differ ing somewhat in degree ; he would define them what they were. They had their liberal reformer, they had their liberal and independent reformer (which was himself)—(hear, hear)—and they had their sporting longitudinal reformer, that was Handel Cosa bam—(hooting, and uproar)—they had their moderate reformer, that was Sir George Jenkinson—(cheep and hisses)—they had their eccentric reformer, Mr. Faulkner. They had a nice lot—(uproar)—what they called in the hosiery trade " choice articles." All agreed that some reform was necessary, but all differed upon the rate of going and who was to be chairman of the line. What were the claims of the candidates that stood before them! (Great uproar.) Who was the first? (Cries of "You. Bernal.") Of course be should be to.inoirow if not to-day. (Great cheering.) Of Lord Amberley he did not wish to say one word of derogation. Lord Aniberley's opinions he did not question, but what he did question was this—Lord Amberley had formed a coalition which would have the effect of disuniting their borough. lord Amberley, the son of the Prime Minister, had malesced with a stentorian visionary— (" True !") who had by his ranting nonsense rendered himself a nuisance to all practical politicians. (Great uproar.) His opinions on the great questions of the day were well known, and were not spoken for the first time. His votes were before the public. (Cheers and uproar.) They had beard about the reduction of the franchise. His opinions upon that question were uttered when Lord Amber ley was in his perambulator—(laughter)—and before Mr. Cossham was being polished as a Bristol diamond. He had always thought that the act of 1832 wad given more to the middle classes than to the working men, and be had always thought that another supplementary act was necessary to give votes to working men. Let there be no mistake ; he was for moderate and judicious measures of reform. (Cheers.) If sent to the House of Commons, he would go as a true reformer. He hoped that a bill would be brought in against bribery and cor ruption, which he considered to be the plague-spots of the British constitution. (Cheers.) Referring to the llottinyham Erpreas, which had charged him with coming es a nominee of the Carlton Club, he said he had placed the libel in the hands of his solicitor. (Loud cheers.) Yr. Osborne then retired amidst loud applause. Sir Geoece JEWILINRON was greeted with cheers and biases. When the hon. baronet arose to address the crowd, a number of metal spoons and plates were held up by Lord Amberley's friends. Sir George said he assumed the spoons which were held up on Lord Amberley's side were to feed my Lord Amberley with. (Great laughter.) He con gratulated the moving mass before him upon wearing the beautiful colour, blue, and that the weather was so fine that the " lambs" could have a good frisking. (Great up. roar on Lord Amberley's side.) He then vindicai-ed him aelf from the numerous calumnies that had, he said, been spread abroad by Mr. Coesham and his party. Sir George professed himself a liberal conservative, and was in favour of a reduction of the franchise, and he would give his best support to any measure which would tend to diminish bribery and corruption at elections,which would cut out that canker spot in the representative sys tem. (Loud cheers.) A show of hands was then taken, and declared to be in favour of Mr. Osborne and Sir George Jenkinson. A poll was then demanded for Lord Amberley, Mr. Handel Coe sham, and Mr. D. Faulkner. A vote of thanks to the Sheriff concluded the proceed ines, which had occupied four hours. NORTHAUXWM*4 The nomination for this borough took place yeaterday. The candidates were the Hon. Mr. Lucellea, brother of the Earl of Harewood, and Mr. Wrightson, formerly repre senting the borough in the liberal interest. The show of bands was declared to be in favour of Mr. loacellas. The proceedings lasted ala hours. NORTH DIVON. The 4;x:don of a candidate in the room of the Hon. C. R. Trefusis, who has beerielevated to the by the death of his father, Lord Clinton, took place Soathmolbon yesterday. Sir Stafford Northeete was the only candidate, it having been determined by the leaders of the liberal party in the division not to contest the seat. The proceedings commenced at half-past 10 o'clock, the hustings having been erected in the square of the old county town. The hon. = s t was escorted to the hustings by a large number of yeomanry and others on horseback, who were preceded by a band of music and a few boys. The High Sheriff, Sir J. Kennaway. presided, and the usual formalities having been gcae through, Mr. J. M. STEVENS nominated SirS. Northeote, and made some remarks on the ineffectual attempts which had been made by some of theliberals to bring out ViscountAmberley and Mr. Drewe. Mr. C. Cmiennerin seconded the nomination of the hon. baronet, and there being no opposition the High Sheriff de clared Sir S. H. Northcote elected, amidst loud and gene ral applause. Sir S. NORTECOTE addressed the meeting in a long speech. He said he had been objected to by some as a party man, but he cheerfully admitted that he was a party man, and what was more, he was proud of it. (Cheers.) The conservative party could always be relied upon in times of difficulty. (Cheers and laughter.) They were not, as had been said, a " retrograde party.* Their party was not opposed to prowess, on t h e contrary, they were anxious to see safe, moderate, and permanent progress ; but they were determined not to ally themselves with those who promoted schemes of democratic change and dangerous revolution. (Cheers and hisses.) The hon. baronet condemned the Franchise Bill, and his remarks upon it were frequently interrupted by perecos in the crowd, who said the conservatives had been opposed to all pro- gress for half • century. This the hon. baronet denied. He was mire that if the government bad set themselves to work in a statesmanlike manner and bad brought in • well-prepared measure it would have been carried. [A 'VOICE : It will be carried now.] " No, it won't," exclaimed the hon. baronet, amidst loud cheers and laughter. With regard to the Redistribution of Seats Bill, the hon. baronet would not say whether it was a good or bed bill, but this he said, that it could not possibly be carried this session, and it was • bill that took away more from their (the conservative) party than from the liberals. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He recom mended the government to take back both bills, and bring in a well-prepared measure early next session. If they did this they need not fear that It would not be carrie d. (Cheers.) The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. Elnibtrditg E nteiligentt. OXFORD, MAT 9.

Notwithstanding that every possible measure had been adopted to prevent the further outbreak of cholera on board the hospital ship Jessie Munn, to which vessel • portion of the Helvetia apassengers had been transferred, three more deaths have taken place on board the Jessie Munn. As soon as the cases were reported to the work house officials the bodies were removed to the landing stage, where they were placed in a hearse and conveyed at once to the cemetery at Walton for interment. On Tuesday evening three more cases broke out on board the same ship, and Dr. Trench, the medical officer of health for the borough, is of opinion that additional medical aid is required, and adds that the crew and officers on board the ship are almost paralysed with fear. Several extra nurses and four men have consequently been despatched from the work house to the infected vessels. The work of fumigating the Helvetia still goes on, and a large number of the beds have been destroyed. The healthy Germans who have been re moved to thegovernmen t emigration elieds atHirkenhead con tinue well. On Tuesday night in order to prevent overcrowd ing in the German lodging-houses, 200 German emigrants were conveyed to the workhouse, where they were accom modated for the night, and yesterday morning they went away. - Later advice' state that about ten o'clock yesterday morning application was made for twenty additional beds for the Jessie Munn, as several fresh cases had broken out, one of which terminated fatally in the course of the day, while one or two were notexpected to survive the night. In spite of every effort to prevent it, cholera has broken out in the depot at Birkenhead, and yesterday afternoon three of the German emigrants at that place were attacked with the disease, and its reported that one of them, a female, is in a most critical oondition. Several mime and some me dical gentlemen were at once sent from Liverpool to the depot at Birkenhead. A German lodging-house-keeper, named Fould, was yesterday tined by the local magistrates 20a. and costa for having an improper number of emigrants in his house. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. —lt appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, May 5, the births re- I gistered in London and twelve other urge towns of the United Kingdom were 4,351 ; the deaths regi.tered, 3,416. I The annual rate of mortality was 29 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,003 boys and 099 girls, in all 2,062 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average I number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,074. The deaths registered in London during the week were It was the eighteenth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week was, with a correction for increase of population, 1,322. The actual return exceeds the estimated number by 223. Whooping cough was very fatal ; the deaths by it rose to 113. This complaint carried off 10 children in Islington. There were 4 deaths from whooping-cough in the sub-district of St. Mary, Paddington, 4 in that of Kensington-town, 4 in Kentish-town, 4 in St. James', Clerkenwell, sub district, 4 in Battersea. There were 26 deaths from small-pox, 55 from measles, 31 from scarlatina, 19 from clout,. 39 from typhus, 16 from (harriers. The following case of cholera was returned On the :Nth of April, at I, Gloucester - court , Mile-end Ohl-town, the daughter of a sugar-baker, aged 5 years, died " suddenly of English I cholera." (Inquest). LICENSED V tirry•LLEn.s . ASYLUM.—The annual festival of the friends and supporters of this valuable and highly successful institution took place yesterday after ! noon, at the Crystal Palae.•, when about 1,600 of the members of the association dined together, under the pre- I sidency of Mr. J. Foster, of the firm of Foster and Sons, export merchants. Mr. B. Lee Guinness, M.P., was to have taken the chair, but unfortunately was prevented from doing so in consequence of ill-health. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts the chairman, in giving the toast of the evening, " Success to the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum," expressed his regret that the recent severe pressure of parliamentary business, coupled with an enfeebled state of health, had prevented Mr. Guinness from taking the chair, as was his intention. Me, however, with great liberality, had contributed the sum of five hundred guineas to the funds of the institution. The objects of the asylum were too well known, and the vast amount of good had been so publicly recognised that it was unnecessary to enlarge on those points. The alms houses now consisted of no fewer than 160 separate and distinct habitations, and it bad become the largest asylum in England. The secretary then proceeded to read the list of subscriptions, which amounted to nearly 5,00 W. The health' of the chairman, that of Mr. Guinness, and the various officers connected with the institution, were then given and responded to, and the proceedings ter minated. The musical arrangements were conducted by the artistes connected principally with the Alhambra, and were highly effective. VALDE OP METROPOLITAN PROPERTY.—In the course of a long compensation case, heard yesterday before the High Bail of Westminster (Moffatt v. the Metro politan Railway), the jury awarded 1,1631. for a leasehold house and the business of a baker in York-street, West minster. Mr. Lloyd, for the company, complained of 'demand made for " three years' " pronto as a lease compensation, as most preposterous, and whet no railway could bear. The rent was 511. on lease, but such had been the late rise in all metropolitan property, that it was worth 1001. a year, The claim was 2,3001., and the jury gave 1,1631. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday two well-dressed foreigners were placed at the bar, before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, on the charge of defrauding divers individual.. The prisoners gave the names of William Descoers, of 33, \rem-street, Lincoln's inn -fields, grocer, and the other described himself as being Louis Beining, of 36, John-street, Tottenham-oonrt-road, agent ; and the prisoners were charged with obtaining, by false pretences, divers sums of money from M. Forst, a French notary, and others. Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared for the prosecution, which he stated was undertaken by the French consul, and it would appear that, the two prisoners had been con nected with two men who were already convicted, and undergoing punishment for the frauds in which they bad been participators. It would be found that a well-concocted scheme of fraud bad been partially and successfully carried out. So long ago as the November Sessions of the Central Criminal Court two men, named Jourdain and Barth, had been con victed of frauds of the same nature, and it would be shown that the two prisoners were engaged in a continu anoe of the same nefarious traffic. Ile evidence of that able officer, detective sergeant Foulger, established the fact that the two prisoners had taken divers plains under the pretence of conducting the professed business of conti nental and international express agent., and under that announcement they had taken aloes in the neighbour hood of Lincoln's-inn-fields under the name of Lay and Company. Another establishment was opened by the prisoners in -street, Islington, under the name of Dobly and mpany ; and a third concern was opened under the form of 'Ay and Company. It was shown that for those presumed offices of business no rent had been paid, and that the prisoners received at each of those establishments numerous foreign letters in reply to those addressed abroad to the effect that they, as conti nental agents, had received valuable papers from Mel bourne, in Australia, which would be forwarded on receipt of postage stamps to the amount claimed, namely, 17 francs 75 centimes. These stamps were remitted by Mr. Foyer and the other parties, and when the prisoners were taken into custody by Detective-o ffi cer Foulger, the letters and the French postage stamps so remitted were found upon them. On this evidence the prisoners were remanded foraweek. SUICIDE FROM THE CLIFTON SUSPENSION-BRIDGE. —A profound sensation was produced yesterday morning at Clifton (Bristol) and the Clifton Hotwells, in conse quence of its becoming known that Mr. George Green, • gentleman of fortune sad • member of en old family of Bristol merchan's, had committed suicide by throwing him self from the dizzy height of the Clifton Suspension-bridge, on to the bed of the river Avon below. Mr. Green, who resided at Peterhead, a fashionable watering:place abutting on the Bristol Channel, on the Somersetshire side, pre muted himself at the toll-house of the bridge and took a return ticket, for which he tendered a sixpenny p;ece. On his change being offered to him he objected to halfpence, and salmi for and received a fourpenny bit. He appeared to be in a thoughtful mood, and was observed topress one of his hands upon his head as if suffering some painful sen sation there. He then walked on to the bridge, and meet ing as he passed some gentlemen whom he knew in a carriage, he was saluted by them and nodded • return recognition. Almost immediately afterwards he placed his hands upon the railings of the bridge, which are about four feet high and jumped over. His body was observed to twirl over and over as it descended, and then to fall with a heavy thud upon the mud of the Avon, where the tide had receded. The persons who beheld the fall mere almost paralysed with fear, but an alarm being given, some workmen engaged on the Peterhead Railway came to the spot, and ropes being procured, the body was drawn on shore and removed to the Angel Inn, Ashton, where it awaits a coroner's in p est. The deceased was married. THE FALL OF A BRIDGE AND LOSS OF SIX LIVES AT CABSHALTON HILL.—An inquiry, lasting six hours, was yesterday concluded by Mr. W. Carter, Surrey coroner, at the Windsor Castle tavern, Carshalton, into the circum stances of the fall of an accommodation bridge over the London and Sutton Extension of the South Coast Rail way on the 28th April, by which six labourers were buried alive and killed. Mr. H. C. Gough, C.E., described the construction of the bridge, which consisted of one composed arch, 88 feet span, aid wee composed of brink set in cement and mortar made of blue lies lime. It was commenced in November last, and was finished at the end of December. During its progress the weather was unfavourable, and therefore the centring was not knocked away com pletely until the 18th April. He could not account for the bridge falling. It was just possible that the rains had soft ened the mortar. The materials and workmen were good. A labourer named James King said that the mortar was bad, and that the materials he got to make it with were not good. He was never allowed proper time to make the mortar. He had not been discharged. Two witnesses, however, deposed that James Kmg was always in trouble for laziness and had been discharged. A man named Marsh, a brother-in-law of one of the men killed by the falling in of the arch on the 28th April, said that he had been at work underneath it on the 27th, and had then noticed that part of it was " all manner of shapes," and he felt such fear that be asked to be put on another job ; but he did not tell the sub-contractor or any one in authority what he had seen. The Coroner asked the wit ness why he did not call attention to what he had seen when he knew that others, and his own brother-in-law amongst them, had to work under the bridge. The witness—lt wan not my place to do so. The Coroner said that workmen did themselves great injury by recklessly acting on the principle that what was every man's business was nobody's business. It was ascertained that no workmen had been discharged, as was stated, for refusing to work at the bridge before it fell. There was no keystone of chalk let into the bridge. The whole structure was brickwork, resting on chalk rock. The jury, after long deliberation, returned • verdict, " That the deaths of the six deceased men were accidentally caused by the giving way of the bridge." COMPULSORY VACCINATION.—Yesterday evening a public meeting was held in the St. Luke's National School-room, Nutford-place, Edgware-road, to protest against the penal elutes of the Vaccination Bill, now re leered to • select committee of the House of Commons. The meeting was addressed by J. Caplin, M.D., J. Morri son, R. R. Gibbs, and other gentlemen, and it was re solved to petition the House of Commons for the repeal of the existing acts of parliament providing penalties for the non-performance of vaccination, and that her Majesty the Queen be memoralized to issue an inquiry into the effects of vaccination on the public health.

Hs mill has a different style of pulling to our English oars men ;in fact it is more like paddling. He goes very fast. Whether he has lasting powers to beat our best men has to be tried, and is very much questioned. OXFORD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE RACES. —The first race of the "college eights" took place last evening, in the presence of an immense number of spectators, who from the fineness of the weather, and the interest created by so many crews competing, were attracted to the banks of the Isis.

A numerously attended meeting of gentlemen wee held on Tuesday, at 6, Whitehall, for the purpose of considering the bill about to be introduced into the House of Commons for establishing municipal boroughs within the metropolis. Mr. T. H. N4,'AtAla (Chelsea) took the chair, and amongst those present were Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., the Hon. F. Bye', Mr. J. W. Probyn, Dr. Hard wicke, Dr. Rendle, the Rev. Dr. Burns Mr. George Horton (the Registrar-General's Departm ent), Mr. S Hughes, F.G.S., Mr. H. M. Vane, Mr. Thomas Beggs, Mr. Bonthron, Mr. Knewstich, Mr. J. C. Buckmaster, Mr. Dugald ameron, Mr. J. D. Macleod, Mr. R. B. Starr, Mr. A. Hutson, Mr. James Heal, and many other influential persons. Mr. H. FOWLER (the secretary) informed the meeting that Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Mr. M. R. Grant Duff, M.P., Mr. C. W. Martin, M.P., Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., Mr. J. D. Reardon, M.P., Mr. George Tomlin., M.P., Mr. J. White, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., Dr. Lankester, Mr. J. Fitzjames Stephen, and about sixty other gentle. men had consented to join the committee forming to assist in the efforts being made to , carry the measure through parliament. Letters were then read from Earl Grey, Lord Taunton, and Lord Stanley, all of whom expressed their intention of giving the subject their earnest consideration. Earl Grey thought the question one of deep importance, and well worthy the fullest attention. Lord Stanley stated that he would consider, with every desire to support the scheme, and Lord Taunton promised to give it his impar tial consideration. Mr. MILL, M.P. informed the meeting that the parlia mentary committee obtained by Mr. Ayrton, and of which he (Mr. Mill) was a member, hall confined the first por tion of their inquiry to the limited subject of the taxation of the metropolis. Having disposed of that part of the question the committee were now devoting their attention to the present government of the metropolis, and were in fact considering the plan contained in the bill which the meeting bad been called to discuss. Several gentlemen, Dr. Farr, Mr. Horton, Mr. Beggs ? and Mr. had given evidence in favour of the principle of the measure, and be thought the meeting should take the ne cessary steps for collecting new facts to be brought before the committee, and producing evidence in support of those already adduced. The sittings of the committee had been suspended to allow Mr. Ayrton to sit on an election com mittee, which had now concluded its labours, and no doubt the other committee would be immediately resumed. The duties of the committee would be to trace out and lay bare the faults of the existing system, and report whether the metropolis could not be better governed under a more con centrated form. Mr. BEAL inquired whether the committee wished to 1 1 have further evidence on the failure of the present system of metropolitan government. Mr. liu.L—The committee will be glad to hear any new facts, or confirmation of those that have been already pro duced. Any gentleman who can assist the inquiry will receive every attention. No doubt much more can be said against the present system of metropolitan government ; and it is equally certain that many persons are desirous of attacking this or any other scheme of improvement. It will be well, therefore, that the came for the bill should be strengthened as much as potable. Mr. BEAL mentioned that Mr. Mill himself had offered to give evidence ; and if any gentleman present or other person felt competent to lay any new facts before the committee they should communicate with Mr. Mill with out delay. Several gentlemen stated that the most overwhelming evidence in proof of the utter failure of the existing system could be laid before the committee—in fact, little, if any thing, could be alleged in its favour. . . . . . Mr. MILL said it was highly important that a better form of government should be established, and he hoped, there fore, the fullest information would be laid before the com mittee without delay. An inquiry being made as to the feeling of existing ves tries on the subject, it was stated that some time since • ti meeng was held at St. James's vestry of delegates from several metropolitan vestries, and the principle of the measure was affirmed by a unanimous vote. Subsequently a report of that meeting was prepared and sent to every ves tryman in London, and very few replies of an antagonistic character had been received. Mr. BECKMASTER asserted that nothing could be worse than the existing system, but that the less important per sons in the vestries were afraid of any measure that would bring about a better state of things. He had never heard an intelligent man say • word in favour of the present form of government, which was as inefficient as it could possibly be. As regarded local rates, for instance, there was no proper audit ; and he knew of a case where a vestry elected as auditor a person who could neither read nor write. (Laughter.) No one was responsible under the present system, but he was strongly of opinion that re sponsibility should be fixed upon some one who should see, among other things, that the public accounts were audited in a thoroughly efficient manner. (Hear, hear.) All the best men in the various parishes knew that a change must take place, and ware in favour of the present measure. After some further discussion, the meeting proceeded to consider the clauses of the bill, which was stated to be based upon the Municipal Corporations Act; and that it was not proposed to give to London a single privilege or power that was not at present possessed by Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and other large towns and cities of England. Clause 2 provided for the division of the metropolis into the following municipal boroughs:— Westminster, Kensington, Marylebone, St. Pancras, Finsbury, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, South wark, and Greenwich. Clause 3 fixed the parishes the above municipal boroughs should contain, and Clause 4 established the boundaries. Clause 5 provided that in each borough except Westminster there should be a mayor, aldermen, and burgesses ; and in Westminster, which was known as a city, there should be citizens instead of burgesses. Subsequent clauses defined the council of each borough, fixed the number of councillors, the mode to be adopted at the first elections, and pro vided that until a burgess roll had been completed the persons who under the provisions of the Metropolis Local Management Act would now be entitled to vote should be taken to be the burgesses of the boroughs created by the bill. The notice of first elections being arranged for other clauses provided that the provisions of the Metro polis Local Management Act should apply to first elections of councillors, and that the provision* of the Municipal Corporations Act should apply to all other elections that all boroughs under the act should have justices of the peace, and that these justices should have licensing powers as other borough justices ; that every borough should have salaried police magistrates • that present metropolitan police-courts should be police -courts of the new boroughs ; that a new police-court should be established for the borough of St. l'ancras ; that I boroughs should form police-court divisions ; and that borough police -courts should be deemed metropolitan lice po-courts. The next clauses provided for appeals from borough magistrates ; that watch committee and police clauses of Municipal Corporations Acts should be permis sive only ; that borough rates may be raised for any pur- I pose authorised by the act ; that the expenses of the act might be raised out of the borough rate ; and that town halls might be provided. Under another clause power was given to churchwardens and others to transfer charitable funds to borough councils, and a further clause provided that councils should have duties and powers of vestries and district boards under the Metropolis Local Management ! Act. The remaining clauses provided that the number of members to be elected by each borough to the Metropolitan Board of Works should restrain the same as at present ; that the powers and provisions of the Municipal Corporations Acts hould be auxiliary to those of the Metropolis Local Management Act ; that councils should Lave duties and powers of commis ! sioners, &c., under local acts; that property vested in ves tries, &c., should be transferred to councils ; that existing contracts should remain valid ; that existing commis sioners, &c., should be continued until the act came into operation ; that existing debts and liabilities should be discharged ; that rates made before the act came into ripe ration should be collected as if the act bad not been ! passed ; that savings, &c., applicable to vestries, &c., I should apply to councils ; that compensations should be under the Municipal Corporations Act ; that council/ might adopt parts of Towns Improvement Clauses Act, Local Government Act, Lc. ; that the saving clauses of the Metropolis Local Management Act should apply ; that the City of London should not be a ff ected by the act ; that the powers of the Metropolitan Board of Works should not be abridged • that the inns of court should not be affected luau: than by the Metropolis Local Management Act ; that the boundaries of par liamentary boroughs and electoral franchise should not be affected ; that all inconsistent acts should be repmded ; that the provisions of local acts might be named by bar Majesty's order in council ; that any differences between councils, &c., should be referred to arbitration • and for provision for creating new boroughs under the ict. The total number of clauses is 51. A question being asked as to the proposed mode of voting, it was stated that it was desirable that voting papers should be left by the police as for voting for guardians. . . . Other questions having been satisfactorily answered, Mr. Bgoos moved a resolution affirming the principle of the bill, and fixing a day for the further discussion of the details. Mr. J. W. PBOBTN seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. An executive committee was then appointed, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. THZ SUNDAY TRADING BlLL—Last evening a crowded meeting of the retail dealers and traders of µ•hite chapel and neighbourhood was held at the Exhibition Clothes Exchange, Houndsditch, to protest against the unjust and arbitrary bill now before the House of Lords, as affecting trade and hawking ; Mr. BLOM in the chair.
