" Not a man in Ragland be lieved it, and the man who believed it least was Mr. Bright himself." I distinctly recollect hearing Mr. Cobden him self teU the anecdote at a public meeting in the Free-trade hall of Manchester, after the repeal of the Corn-laws ; so that the calumniator, if there be any calumny, is Mr. Cobden and not Mr. Bright. The precise date of the meeting my memory does not enable me to give, but any ono who thinks the matter of sufficient importance may easily discover the passage by ransacking the files of one of the Manchester papers.—l am, dm., Jan. 24.

The committee of influential gentlemen who have undertaken the administration of the funds provided by the public for the distress unhappily prevailing indifferent parts of the metropolis assembled again yesterday under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. There were present Alderman Salomon., 51. P., Alderman and Sheriff Water. low, Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, Archdeacon Hale the Rev. F. G. Bloomfield, Mr. P. Cazetiove, Mr. Sheriff Lycett, loc. There were a great many deputation, from different districts of the metropolis, and they comprised the following parishes:- Deptford, St. George's-in-the- East, Ratcliffe, Heaton, Limehouse, Mile-end New Town, Bethnal-green, and St. George the Martyr, Southwark. The committee took a great deal of pains to ascertain the exact quality of the distress that wax existing, and whether the parties who required relief came within the special circumstances for which the fund is being raised, and in one or two instances they required further information before they decided upon the applica tion. From the statements that were made by some of the gentlemen forming the deputations who attended the committee yesterday it is to be feared that there is an immense amount of distress at present existing among the working classes, especially in the poorer districts of the metropolis, and but for the change that has taken place in the weather, that distress would have been aggravated to a most frightful extent. The committee made among other grants yesterday one of 3001. to BetbnaLgreen, where an immense amount of misery end poverty prevails, and indeed it may almost be said that this is the normal condition of the district ; 300/. to St. George's.in-the-East 200/. to Deptfonl, 50/. to Kilburn, 150/. to Shsdwell, 250/. to St. George the Martyr, Southwark, and 25/. towards the esta blishment of a soup kitchen in the Ratcliffe-highway dis trict. Some smaller sums were voted to other districts, and the total amount of the grants made during the day was 1,6001. The fund being raised at the Mansion horse continues to progress satisfactorily, more than 6001. being received yes terday alone. Among the sums sent to the Lord Mayor were-General and Mrs. Molyneux Williams, alt. ; the em ployes at Messrs. Ellis, Howell, and Co.'s, 10f. 10s. ; the Hon. Miss Arden, 101 ; Mr. James Minet, 51. ; Mr. Henry Tull, 101. ; Mr. Falwanl Ind, 10/. ; Mrs. Philip Lucas, 10/. ; Mr. G. G.

PRUSSIA. ILANOVER, JAN. 24. _ Four hundred and fifty-six officers and military surgeons of the late Hanoverian army are about to enter the Prussian service. One hundred and forty-one others desire to be pensioned—sixty nine according to the Prussian, and seventy-two according to the Hanoverian pension regulations. Ninety other officers have not declared their inten tions, but a portion of this number will enter the service of the other States of the North German Confederation. KIEL, J. 24. The royal patent, incorporating Schleswig-Hol stein with the Prussian monarchy, was promul gated to-day at the Castle of Kiel. The patent promises the population equal rights with the other inhabitants of Prussia, the preservation of all un objectionable institutions peculiar to the country, and the non-removal of the present officials from their post. The proclamation which accompanies the patent pays a tribute to the proved constancy of the Schleswig-Holateiners, and declares that every effort will be made to promote the prosperity of the country. - BERLIN, Jr.A 24, EvExixo. The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this evening publishes news from Luxemburg, according to which the leading politicians of the Grand Duchy are opposed to annexation to Belgium, and favour union with the North German Confederation. The King of Prussia has recovered from his re cent indisposition, and received again to-day the usual ministerial reports. HUNGARY. PESTII. JAN. Si. It is believed that the committee of 07 will con tinue its deliberations. The students of the University of Pesth have expressed their desire to hold a torchlight proces sion in honour of M.

Prince Carignano left to-day for Naples. He will pass through Rome, but will not make any stay there. The Opiiiimie of this evening says :—" Councillor of State Henri has arrived at Rome, and has communicated to Signor Tonello the last instruc tions of the Italian Government. An understand ing has been arrived at on the question of the nomination of the bishops. All that remains to be settled is to what prelates the vacant dioceses shall be assigned." GREECE. (Vii Manillas.) ATHENS, Jaw. 17. The Chamber have voted a bill giving the contract for draining Lake Coptic to a French com pany. According to intelligence from Candia to the Bth inst. Mustapha Paella was preparing to advance against Sphakia by land and by sea. Several ves sels had been sent with this object to the coast of Selinon, where they would take the troops on board in order to disembark them at Sphakia. An engagement had taken place on the oth January, at Ochre, in the district of Selinon, between the insurgents and a Turkish detachment. After two hours' fighting the latter retreated. The Cretan National Assembly had addressed a letter on the 2nd of January to the foreign consuls, requesting that agent& should be sent to Candice by the Euro pean Powers to report upon the unfortunate stateof the island. The letter adds that the statements of the submission of the insurgents are false, and that the inhabitanta will continue the contest until their wishes are fulfilled. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. ATHENS (vil Trieste), J. 19. The following intelligence has been received here from Crete, dated the 15th inst. : " The imperial troops in considerable force have attempted to effect a landing, first at Aye Rumeli, in Sphakia, and afterwards at Tripiti, but they were repulsed at both points by the Cretans. On the 11th an engagement took place between 5,000 Turkish troops and a body of insurgents at Rodia, near the town of Heraclion. The Turks were repulsed with heavy loss. "The Cretan Assembly General has appointed a provisional government, composed of seven mem bers. The Assembly has also published a note ex pressing its gratitude to the committee which has been formed in London for the relief of the dis tressed Cretan families." PARIS, JAN. 24, Evmsia.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (TROY OCR OWN CORIMPONDENT.) PARIS. THURSDAY EVENING. M. Cousin was buried to-day. After a funeral service in the church of the Sorbonne the corpus was taken for interment to the Fue la Chaise Cemetery. The pall-bearers were M. Patin, the senior member of the Faculty of Letters ; M. Thiers ; M. de Parieu, Vice-President of the Council of State ; and M. Mourier, Vice-Rector of the Academy of Paris. M. Duruy, the Minister of Public instruction, and large deputations from most of the learned bodies of Paris, attended the philosopher's funeral. The Duchess de Persigny has been sued by a man-dressmaker named Maugas—a rival of the celebrated Werth—upon a bill of 3,050 fr. for fancy and other dresses supplied at the beginning of last year. The duchess's man of business held the bill too high, and offered 2,500 fr. The hearing of the case brought to light a very hot eerrespondence between the tradesman and the dueller. M. de Mangss stands upon his dignity as a dressmaker for the highest aristocracy. The Duchess de Per signy, he says, gave him an order for the very best things without making any stipulation as to Price, and in now attempting to tax his bill she treats him as a rogue. He goes so far as to accuse her of systematically availing herself of her rank to obtain goods under the market price. The court, before deciding, has commissioned Madame Laferrihre, a fashionable dressmaker, to make a report as an expert, in order to enable the court to form an opinion as to the reasonableness of the plaintiff's charge. The civil tribunal of the Seine has just tried an action for breach of promise brought by an old clothes dealer aged fifty-six against a cook of forty-five. Letters and portraits had been ex changed, the contract had been signed, and the bridegroom awaited the bride at the mains) ; but, instead of appearing in person, she sent a message to the effect that she had changed her mind, and would not have him. He strove to find some con solation by suing her for 2,500 fr. as damages ; but the court decided that marriage was free, and that it was a matter of public policy that up to the very last moment the parties should be at liberty to change their mind before entering into such a solemn contract. The rare exceptional cases in which French courts have given damages for breach of promise of marriage are described by the judgment as resting upon the principle that a breach so purely capricious as to infer that there must have been an intention to deceive or trifle from the beginning, may be the subject of damages. But where a reason, albeit a bad one, is assigned, and was the evident motive for break ing a matrimonial engagement, there is no remedy. The Bourse continues to do Small honour to the reforms.

H. Lucas, having resigned on account of ill-health. Mr. S. Smiles, the newly-appointed secretary, was present. The chairman, after expressing the regret of the board at Mr. Lucas's resignation, and their profound gratitude for his long and faithful services, moved the adoption of the report, which he said was eminently satisfactory, showing that 264 policies insuring to the amount of 404,120/., had been issued during the year, and that the accounts for the year showed a balance of receipts over disbursements of 109,6024, thereby increasing the accumulated fund to 2,640,260/. The total gross, annual income was 40.3,536/. Since the commencement of the institution 29,007 policies had been issued ; the total amount paid in claims on the decease of members had been 1,970,859/. ; and the members numbered 14,924. The adoption of the report having been seconded by Mr. Gilpin, M.P., several speeches were made echoing the remarks made by the chairman respecting Mr. Lucas. The institution was also complimented upon the appointment of the author of " Self-help" to the post of secretaryship. In reply to a question from a shareholder, the chairman said the institution had not during the past year lost capital by investing funds in concerns that failed before the commercial disasters of the earlier part of the year. The report was unanimously adopted. Messrs. C. Reed and H. Constable wens re-elected directors. The re-election of auditors was deferred. The usual compli ment to the chairman and directors concluded the pro ceelings. THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE.—But- HINGHAM, JA.v. 24.—There was a large attendance of ironmasters and others interested in the iron and coal trades of this district at the Exchange here to-day, but scarcely any business was done, the position of alfairs with regard to the men being almost the only subject ills ceased. At some of the roost important works they have gone in; such is the case at Wednesbury Oak and at Bloomfield; at others of the like standing they are still out; as, for instance, at Messrs. naive's, at Brom ford ; at Messrs. Bagnall's, at the Cruokha works, and at Messrs. Belly's. The opinion is that all will gra dually go in; if they stay out very long there may probably be less masters to employ them. The authentic contradiction of unfavourable rumours in reference to Messrs. Ball, Black, and Co., of Broadway, New York, which appears in the paper' of that city, has been received with much satisfaction in this locality. ATTEMPTED MURDER AT SURBITON. —Yesterday at Kingston-on-Thames, Cornelius Kane, a private in the led Husain, stationed at Aldershot, was charged on re mand with attempting to murder Agnes Adams at Sur biton. Agnes Adams, a Scotch woman, 23 years of age, said she was engaged to be married to the prisoner, and the banns had been twice published for the occasion at Aldershot and Surbiton. On the night of the 9th of January, while she was staying at her sister's at Sur ' biton, the prisoner came there from Aldershot. She and her sister were then washing. He appeared the worse for liquor, and said they did not appear to make hint very welcome. He had come to know why she wished to postpone the marriage. They wished to get him away from the house, but he would not go. He was then told that he could sleep with her brother-in-law in the bedroom, and that if he would go to bed they would tell him in the morning why they wished the mar riage postponed, as he was then not in a tit state to be told. They induced him to go into his room, but he cams out again, and kept asking the reason. She then told him that her sister did not wish her to marry him while he re- ' mained in the army, and that she advised her to wait till he came out. He again went into his bedroom and le -1 mined about ten minutes, and then her sister opened the door and took the key out to lock the door from the sitting room upon him ; her sister then began to undress, but she remained sitting in a chair. He shortly afterwards knocked at the door again, and on her sister asking what he wanted; he said a light to light his pipe. Her sister took the candle to the door to prevent his coining into the room again, and ' he then rushed past her, and stood in front of the fireplace. After an • his forehead he threw complainant down on . the floor, and to cut her with a razor. He made a severe wound on her forehead, and then tried to cut her throat, but she held his hand and struggled with him for Rome time, but the razor cut her hand and went through. . She could not tell when he cut her on the left side of the ' nose, or inflicted the other wounds she had received. Her sister was by, but she ,lid not know that he had • razor till complainant screamed out, "He is cutting try throat." Her sister then came to her assistance ; so did her brother-in-law, who knocked prisoner down and knelt upon him. The bands of the complainant, her brother in-law, and the prisoner were frightfully cut with the razor in the stragg le. Dr. Price Jones sad the com plainant must have led to death in a few minutes had he not been so quickly fetched, one of the arteries having been divided. The prisoner, who said be had nothing to say, was fully committed to take his trial at the next seizes at Kingston on the charge of attempted murder. [STAXPID, ' Id. a DDMONAL.] SIB CIIARLII.9_; RICHT, AND HIS cossErruisNrs. Last night the electors and non-electors of Greenwich met in the Lecture•hall, at the invitation of Sir Charles Bright, M.P., one of the members for the borough, for the purpose of hearing from that gentleman a statement of his political views. Mr. LOVIBONO, brewer. occupied the chair. Sir CHAS. BRIGHT, who was very warmly received, com menced by an allusion to the distress prevailing in Green wich and Deptford, and expressed the hope that in future years there would not be a re currence o f suc h d es tit ut i on . Touching the question of reform, be said if the bill intro duced last session had been passed it would, on becoming Law, have resembled the children who,after being taken by gip , ies and disfigured by that tribe, were not recognised by their parents. During the consideration of the bill he expressed to members of the government his disapproval of the introaluctiod of the clause disfranchising the dock yard workmen, and if the bill had been considered in com mittee he and othersrspresenting constituencies like that by which he was sent to parliament would have brought their influence to effect the rejection of a clause, she absurdity of which was evident in the character, the skill and intelli gence of those whom it affected. He could not extol the bill brought in by the late government, but he believed it was a step in the right direction. Statesmen were not their own masters, and were subjected to control in the introduction of the measures they proposed, and they were also obliged to consider the elements of which their own party was composed, so that any wearers which might be earned neat year or st any other time should be drawn up in a spirit of conciliation. He believed the bill spoken of in connexion with the present government bad undergone the process of incubation and existed in tho ministerial pigeon holes ; but although he thought it was quite pos sible that a bill worthy of support would be introdnoed, he did not expect a bill to be brought in by the present govern '', meet with the intention of c.irrying it. The old tory spins was still rampant and the tory party advocated monopoly in commerce, intolerance in religion, and exclusive female , tion with the same spirit which marked their opposition to the old Reform Bill, free trade, and catholic emancipa tion. He believed there were other reforms of almost equal importance as parliamentary reform. The state of our poor laws and that of our education were questions of momentous interest He looked upon the defective edu cation of the poorer classes as discreditable to us, a nation claiming to be one of the three great civilised powers, for while thousands of children were toned uneducated and miserably clad in our streets, small kisgdoins, such as Bavaria, Saxony, and Switzerland, provided for the educa tion of poor children and undertook to clothe them when their parents were unable to do so. He attributed the recent military successes of Prussia in a great measure to the education of it. soldiers. There were other questions awaiting the consideration of parliament, including church rates and the condition of Ireland. He feared the late session was entirely barren of legislation, inasmuch as the discussion of the reform question had occupied time which would, under other circumstances, have been devoted to the consideration of many bills of public importance. Re ' ferring to the foreign policy of England, the honourable gentleuum said he had perceived with satisfaction that we had reversed the old system of having " a finger in every pie." 'With the exception of a petty strife with the in habitants of Bliootan, we had been at peace with the whole world. He considered the present Foreign Secre tary had dealt in a most satisfactory manner with the question of the Alabama claims, which had bid fair to be come the cause of • serious dissension between the two countries. He beano doubt that other nations who would gladly see us at war with America, might perhaps taunt us with cowardice, and say we evince an amicable disport . tion now that the North and South are united, • and that we would not have acted in a like manner before the termination of the war. It was, however, unnecessary to reply to such insinuations, because those nations knew our courage, and remem bered the hard knocks they received from us. Alluding to the German question, the hon. gentleman said our in terest in the establishment of a colossal German empire did notappear to hes* great as that of our nearest neighbours who regarded it with unoonoeakd dissatisfaction. He bad no doubt that after the Paris Exhibition a war would take place between nations who, while now entertaining hostile intentions towards each other, were interchanging the most amicable communications and with the view of being prepared for foreign complications, he thought it highly essential that we should " put our own house ready." A vote of confidence in the hon. gentleman was pro posed by Mr. BASS, seconded by Mr. Brat , and carried ARM. dis. WISBEACH WORAING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE. The third anniversary of this institution was held in the public ball, Wisbeach, by • tea meeting among the members and friends, and by • public meeting in the evening, both of which were largely attended. The i chair at the public meeting was taken by Mr. Jonathan Peckover, the president. He was much gratified to be able to report that the club appeared to be in • more prosperous state than at any previous time of its existence, and he hoped that it would long continue to progress. They would remember that, at the previous anniversary meeting, they had the presence of the Rev. H. holly, the director of the London Working Men's Club and Institute Union, and no doubt their present prosperity was greatly due to that gentleman a able advocacy on that occasion. He bad been invited to attend the present anniversary, and was, at the same time, in ; forn.ed of the position of the club. He had replied that they appeared to be in so prosperous • state that he I thought they could do without him, and that there were many other clubs in England which greatly required as sistance and advice ; and he added that he felt it was to the " rick and not the whole" that he must give his ser vices so far as he was able. The chairman added that he believed that the came of working men's clubs and in stitutes was progressing in the neighbourhood. He (the chairman) had been travelling in Scotland, and wherever he went he inquired if there was a working men's club in the place. He visited one in Dumfries, and when be went in he found that a prayer meeting was being held. This club appeared to be In a flourishing state, and had hundreds of pounds in its savings hank. It had been started by a gen tleman who provided the funds, but afterwards the mem bers said they thought they should take more interest in it if they paid something towards it. IVhen he (Mr. Peckover) was at a town in the east of Scotland he had i c t7.l th a ere httle H. barefooted the bg i f there w n as o a ne w , ofti t ounen*s was stopped for want of funds. He (Mr. Peckover) said, " That's a bad job." " Yes," said Sandy, "it is a bad job, for working men's clubs are grand things." Wherever he went he found that the club at Wisbeach would bear favourable comparison with most that he bed seen. They wanted larger premises, but if they could get their members and friends to work for them, and above all if they got the assist ance of the ladies, he believed that they should be able to get a good sum of money. Mr. Alfred Balding, the honorary secretary, gave an account of what had been done in the club during the past year. He said that a working men's club and institute endeavoured to supply a great many wants. The present might be justly termed the age of working men. The upper classes were begin ning to recognise the right of the labouriog community to share, as far as possible, in advantages which they en joyed, and in proportion as the working classes showed themselves deserving and willing to possess these &dean. sages they would be conceded to them. A prise was awarded to Mr. F. A. Baker for an " Essay on the Life and Trials of St. Paul," and another to Mr. W. T. Stresder for an " Essay upon Working Men's Clubs." The second prizes in both instances were awarded to Mr. W. Digby. The first prize for reading was awarded to Mr. A. Letts, and the second to Mr. Coubun. The meeting was closed by the band playing the national anthem. The Manchester Examiner says that there are to be two addresses presented to Mr. Bright at Rochdale. To-diy the workpeople connected with the hon. gentle. I man's firm will have a tea be party in the public ball at five o'clock, and their address will presented at seven. Mr. 'bight will be present, and will make a speech on the occasion. This demonstration will be confined exclusively to the workpeople, who have got the affair up. The other address, to be presented on Wednesday next in the theatre, is more of a public and political nature.

[TWOPENCE THE METROPOLITAN SEWAGE QUESTION. Sir Stafford Northoote, President of the Board of Trade, received • deputation yesterday on the subject of the disposal of the sewage of the metropolis. The de putation, which was introduced by Mr. Culling Haribusy, M.P., was composed of the following gentlemen Mr. East, Mayor of Kingston-on-Thames ; Mr. Councillor P r iest and Mr. Wilkinson, bowncleric,alsoof Kingston-cm-Themes ;Mr. Walpole, chairman, and Mr. Bidgood, a member of the Surbiton Commissioners ; Mr. Bawl', clerk to the Hamp- ton Wick local board ; Mr. Bedwell, chairman, and Mr. Strawbridge, a member of the East Moulsey loc.d bout! ; Mr. Sidney Smith, chairman, and Mr. Alfred Oilea, • member, of the Wimbledon local board ; Messrs. Merry weather and Phillippa, members of the New Mahlon local board ; Mr. R. J. Bates, of Long Ditton ; and Mr. Clayton, Hook Pariah. Mr. WALPOLE explained the object of the deputation, which was the formation of a suburban board to dispose of the sewage between Staines and the drainage system of the Metropolitan Board, their representation, being the result of a conference recently held. The deputation be lieved the Metropolitan Baird hail done their work well, and they viewed with apprehension that the bill of the Conservancy Hoard was creating powers antagonistic to those of the district, who, if they took up the subject and did their best to dispose of the sewage, thought they might reasonably ask to be relieved from the danger of the Conservancy Hoard being able to attack them. Sir STAFFORD NoRTHC , YrE said the object brought be fore bun was well deserving of serious •consideration. lie would point out that the bill which had been referred to was not introduced by Mee govermeest, but by the Thames Conservancy, in pursuance of the directions contained in the act of parent of last session. He had looked at the bill, and clearly it appeared to be limited to giving effect to the intentions of parliament as expressed last session. The act of last session was evidently a government measure. It was taken charge of by the late government, and the present government came into oflice just as the bill reached it. last stage. They did not then know the whole of the merits of the case. The govern ment had since been asked whether they would this year bring in a bill to complete the arrangement, but they stated it was not a matter which properly belonged to the government, and the board had better proceed itself. At the same time the government would feel it their duty to watch the proceedings of the bill, and take notice of any suggestions offered for their notice. The deputation would see it wan essential to the whole scheme that some arrangement should be made for purify. ing this portion of the river, otherwise the whole that had been done was worth nothing, and there would be a breach of faith with the water companies, who undertook a considerable portion of the expense of preserving the navigation on the understanding that they were to have water lit for drinking. It was essential, some way or other, that this portion of the river should be purified. As to the steps for purifying it, that was another ques tion. Upon so large a question he should not like to pronounce an opinion offhand, and it would be necessary for him to communicate with the Home Secretary and with the Duke of Buck' h, the Privy Council having taken up the question of the health of towns. A MEMBER of the Dv.eurarime remarked it was essential to bear in mind that the rations then made were all from persons interested low the point at which the water companies draw their water from Hampton and upwards. The deputation wanted the water to be as pure as • river can be below as well as above that point. In his individual opinion, he believed the only method by which effectual drainage could be made was the eventual construction of a sewer parallel with the Thames, begin ning at the river Mole, and coming all the way down until it meets the Metropolitan system. The Ptutaturnr inquired whether he understood the feeling of the deputation to be that the government should in some way assist in the formation of a suburban board of the character described by them! The deputation replied in the affirmative. Sir STAFFORD NoIiTHCOTE having elicited a few other points as to the views and wishes of the deputation, they then thanked the right bon. president for the courtesy with which he had received them, and withdrew. CHEMISTS AND DRUGGISTS. A meeting of chemist. and druggist., convened by the executive committee of the United Society of Chemists and Druggists, was held yesterday afternoon at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, to consider certain suggestions made by the Pharmaceutical Society for the incorporation of the trade. The chair was taken by Mr. H. Manama, P.C.S., the president of the United So ciety, and there were about 70 gentlemen present. Tho suggestions which came under consideration were seven in number, and were intended to form the bases of a mea sure to be introdnoed into parliament during the ensuing session. The majority of them—including a pro vision, that after the passing of the act all persons as suming the name or title of "chemist and druggist" should, with certain reservations to save vested interests, undergo an examination—were agreed to without objec tion, or with but slight modifications. The only tion which excited any hostility was the 4th, viz., I' 4= all persona registered as chemists and druggists should be eligible for election to memberahip of the Pharmaceutical Society, under the bye-laws thereof ; but they should not by virtue of that membership be entitled to registration as ' pharmaceutical chemists,' that title being strictly kept for those only who peas the major examination. They should have the right of nominating and voting for mem bers of council, but the council should consist only of members who are pharmaceutical chemists." Upon this Mr. Pass moved, and Mr. Warden secomled,a resolution declaring that "this meeting concurs inthe desirability of limiting the title of ' Pharmaceutical Chemists' to those who may their major examination ; but it is decidedly op to registered chemists and druggist. being subja to elec tion by the Pharniamutical Council as a condition for the exercise of their right to vote upon the election of the members of that council ; and it is cenally and decidedly opposed to the council of so large n body as the chemists and druggists will be wider an act of general incorpora tion, being limited to those who are now, or may be hereafter pharmaceutical chemists." This resolution was supported by Messrs. lituldlestone and lioniby, who attended the meeting as • deputatiou from the chemists and &twists of Sheffield, Mr. lieppell and Mr. Wade. All these gentlemen contended that the existing incor porated chemists and druggists had • right to be placed upon a level with the unexamined members of the Phar maceutical Society, and were entitled to be eligible as mem bers of the council to which it wan proposed that the government of the trade should be committed The resolution was unanimously agreed to, as was also another proposed by Messrs. Iletty and Anderson : " That as among the interests influencing the entire trade of chemists and druggists, two elements, the educational and the commercial, are inseparably connected ; and as it is of vital importance in maturing any form of govern ment for the whole trade that these two hitereats should, so far as practicable, be blended, this meeting cherishes the hope that from the resolutions it has adopted the advantages of a mutual understanding and combined ac tion may be brought into operati in, and authorises a de putation of the trade to wait in this spirit upon the Plur mat:entice' CounciL" So far nothiug hail occurred to disturb the harmony of the proceedings ; but when the question was raised as to the oomiewition of thedeputation, an element of discord was introduced, and there occurred a rather violent and disorderly scene. Several different propositions were made and were fiercely and somewhat irregularly discussed. On the one side there seemed to be a warm desire to exclude front the deputation certain members of the executive committee of the United Society who are not chemists; while on the pert of these membeiv, and some at least of their colleagues, there was an equally firm determination to resist any proposal which would pre vent their taking part in the negotiations with the Phar maceutical Society. In the course of the discuesion a good many pretty sharp personalities were exchanged, and at one time the debate degenerated into something very nearly approaching a mere personal and vulgar wrangle. Ultimately, however, a resolution was (after a division) deputation the executive oom amdiott.ptedo,fap pointing tl and any other members of the trade who might chows, to time a n ted "Soci the deputation of Cher:lista and Druggists, act with them ; and the proceedings, which had lasted about three hours, concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
