TO ?RE EDITOR OF THE EXPREML SlR,—The public will learn with satisfaction that the following telegram has just been received from Valentia, :—"Good results obtained last night. Place fault about three miles from office at Heart's Content ;" confirming the conclusion that the fault in the cable of 1866 is distant from the land only one and a half mile, and in water so shallow that the repair can be made quickly and at small expense. Yesterday seventy-one messages passed through the cable of 1866, yielding 1,0081. 195.—1 am, &c., CHARLES E. STEWART, Chairman. Anglo-American Telegraph Company, 26, Old Broad-street, May 18. The committee of the National Reform Union are said to contemplate holding a "demonstration" in Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. In the several versions of Mr. Gladstone's reply to the Reform Union deputation, one expression of some importance relating to the si. line wait differently ren dered. Three of the morning papers gve it thus:—" Ido not say that under no circumstances am I likely to revive it ;" while the three other reports stand thus:—" I do not see the circumstances under which I am likely to re vive it." The second is the correct version.—Ofeerrer. THE REFORM BILL TOR SCOTLAND.—The Repre sentation of the People Bill (Scotland) bus been printed. The occupation, educational, and pecuniary franchise in counties and burghs are the same as in the bill for En- Lu2d. The Universities of Edinburgh and St. Andrew's arc jointly to return a member, and the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen another member. After the end of the present parliament the city of Glasgow is to be divided, and the burgh of South Glasgow to return one member independently of the city, which returns two. Then there is the re-arrangement of the burghs, which is not to take effect until the end of the present parliament. The registers of voters are to be formed for the new burghs and divisions of counties in 1868. There are also provi. slims for the separate assessment of tenants, &c., similar to the bill u n d er discussion in the committ ee of the Rouse of Commons. NORFOLK AND REFORM BELL--A meeting of the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture was held on Satur day at Norwich ; Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., presiding; to , consider the operation of the Reform Bill es regards Nor folk. It is proposed to disfranchise GreatYarmouth, and to take one member from Thetford, thus reducing the ag. gregate number of Norfolk members from 12 to 9, while it was shown that Devonshire would have no less than 22, although the amount of income tax paid in Devonshire was less then the corresponding amount paid in Norfolk. After considerable discussion, it was resolved unanimously that the proposal to take away three members from Nor- folk was unjust, and that the wort strenuous efforts should be made to retain to the county the twelve members to which it was entitled by reason of its population, wealth, and importance. A memorial to this effect will be sub mitted to Mr. Disraeli. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAY 18.

The King has left for Turin. His Majesty re ceived yesterday a deputation from the Chamber of Deputies to congratulate him on the marriage of the Prince Amadeus, and to express their gratitude for his Majesty's renunciation of four millions of his civil list. The King in his reply adverted to the present condition of Italy and Europe, and said that he had welcomed with pleasure the treaty of London, in which he was happy that Italy had participated. "Nevertheless," he said, "we must form no illusions. Other complications may arise from at present unforeseen events. We shall be fortunate if in this period of peace we succeed in reorganising the finances. The conditions of im provement are only courage and perseverance." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, MAT 19.

THE LOSS OF THE WASP IN TABLE BAY. A telegram was published on Saturday stating that the Wasp had foundered in Table Bay with all hands. From the following account of the accident in the .Youth African Advertiser of Aprillo, it will 'be seen that the vessel in question was a small craft of 30 tons, and not, as at first supposed, a ship of war of the same name : A shocking disaster took place in Table Bay on the 24th March, in which a vessel and all hands foundered. The Wasp, a vessel of some 30 tons, in beating up the bay with a fresh south-easter, was suddenly capsized in a heavy squall, and before any assistance could be rendered she went down with all hands. The vessel has since been found, and will be raised shortly ; but as yet none of the bodies have been recovered. A communication sent to us yesterday from the Admiralty states that her Majesty's ship Wasp was at Bombay, "all well," on the 20th April.

The Female Medical Society is not concerned with the question of " woman su ff rage, " f ema le army our , goons, or even female general practitioners, much less with advocating the admiasion of ladies to medical classes at tended by young men. It has establithed a college in order to teach midwifery and the accessory branches of medicine to ladies, as thoroughly as these subjects have hitherto been taught to gentlemen, and it leaves further questions to settle themselves. GRAND BALL AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY IN PARIS. (rsois cam owe coaacsreerdsr-) PARIS, SATURDAY ETIII7AO. " There was a sound of revelry by night " in the halls of the British Embassy from last eve's sunset to this morning's sunrise. The greatest fete of the season was given there to the Prince of Wales. Something was said in the French papers about Lady Cowley's visiting list having been severely expurgated for the occasion. Far from this being the case, everybody was at the embassy who habitually goes there, and a great many who never were there before. Although a temporary room, nearly as large as all the rest of the salons put to gether, had been built expressly for this ball, the crowd was greater than anybody of this generation remembers in the same place. The improvised saloon of which I speak comprised the large square space in the garden between the wings of the embassy palace in which are the new ballroom and the supper-room. This saloon was covered throughout with a rich Aubusson carpet ; there was a fountain in the centre ; seats were tastefully arranged among flower-beds and arbours, and the light was brilliant and most artistically managed. At the far end next the garden was the buffet, and behind this the high wall was covered from the ground to the roof with fresh flowers. Amidst these flowers, high up above the right and left of the buffet, appeared handsome transparen cies representing the Prince of Walea'sTeathers, with the motto Ich Dieu. As to the company present, ydn will find long lists in the chronicles habitually devoted to such subjects. I shall only say that all the 80 personages whose names you will read in yesterday's Maniteur as having dined at the Tuileries on Thursday were there ; and, in addition, all the official and diplomatic personages usually seen at fashionable fetes, and a very large proportion of those English residents and visitors to whom, for one reason or another, the embassy extends its hospitality. The number of cards of invitation issued is said to have been 2,500. The ball was opened by a quadrille (the quadrille erhanneur), in which the Prince of Wales danced with the Empress of the French, having for ris-d-sow the Duke of Edin burgh and the Queen of the Belgians. The side couples were Prince Joachim Murat and the Princess Eugenie of Leuchtenberg, and Lord Roys ton and the Duchess of Manchester. You will read in the France that the Emperor opened the ball with the Queen of the Belgians, having the King of the Belgians and the Empress for their eis-d-ris. But this is a mistake ; neither the Emperor nor the King of the Belgians danced during the whole evening. Prince Napoleon mane late,. and stayed but for a very short time. He did not join the Imperial and royal party at the supper-table. Both the Queen of Portugal and the Princess Clotilde sent excuses. Thu cause of their absence was a very homely and simple one. Thu Princess Clotilde had 'a toothache, and her royal sister, Queen Pia, said she preferred keeping her company, passing a quiet evening, and talking about their babies, to going out. At this ball there was a great sprinkling of knee-brOeches and tights. They were far from being in a majority, but formed a very respectable minority. Some wore at the knee bows of black ribbons. Lord Royston had on a blue coat with velvet collar and gilt buttons, such as was the fashion in London a quarter of a century ago. His lordship, who is on intimate terms with the Prince of Wales, may perhaps bring this coat into fashion again, but last night he was alone in his glory. Tho Prince of Wales wore a black coat and white waistcoat, across which was the Woad red grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, tights, and the garter on the knee. The Duke of Edinburgh was dressed in precisely the snore way, with the exception that lie wore the blue ribbon of the garter across his white waistcoat. They both had a rosebud in a buttonhole, the freshness of which throughout the evening is I understand at tributable to a new and ingenious tailor's con trivance, by means of which the rose stalk is placed in a little phial of water hidden in a pocket made expressly for it. Both the princes looked extremely well, entered into the amusements of the even ing with all the spirit of their age, and made themselves most agreeable to all who had the privilege of speaking with them. I need not enter into many details as to the order in which the Imperial and royal personages sat at supper, which lusted a long while ; beards wagged merrily, and must of the dishes handed round were not tasted merely, but done justice to in a serious and business like way. The - Empress held a particu larly animated conversation with the Prince of Wales, who seemed to amuse her greatly. When the Highland Piper went round the table with the bagpipes the Prince directed her Majesty's attention to some ladies who were stopping their ears, and laughed good-humouredly at their want of appre ciation of Highland music. I was greatly struck by the extraordinary resemblance of the King of the Belgians to the portraits of Francis I. I see that the Liberte of this evening makes the same remark. While the Imperial and Royal party was at table the general company took their Sams at other tables in the same room. Lltimately there was a sit down supper for everybody, with plenty of attendance, and all the evening long there was abundance of supplemental refreshment at the buffet. At about two o'clock the cotillon began. It was conducted by the Marquis de Caux. The Prince of Wales chose for his partner for this dance, which lasted fully two hours, the beautiful Marquise de Galliffet. In the broad daylight of five o'clock, dancing was still going on. The Prince of Wales and the Duko of Edinburgh leave Paris for London to-morrow. Prince Oscar of Sweden also leaves to-morrow. The Bourse was decidedly firm. More confi dence is felt in the oontinuance of peace. Rente rose 35c. both for cash and account, closing at 69.230 for each. Credit Foncier rose 15f.; Mobilier, 6.25; Italian, 40c. ; and the Northern Railliay, 11.25: The Bishopric of Gibraltar will not, it is said, be filled up for some time.

The committee of the Metropolitan Free Hos pital, Devonshire square, City, have, at the suggestion of Dr. Lomas, one of the physicians to the hospital, con verted the three rooms which were set apart for the recep tion of cholera patients into wards fur the special treat ment of sick children. The walls are covered with pictures, and a sort of playground is constructed on the roof of the hospital. The accommodation for sick children in the metropolis is being considerably increased ; not before it was needed. We could wish that in every instance such special wards were added to general hospitals. —BritisA ' Medical JorernaL foot[. HER MAJESTY'S I'HELTRE. On Saturday iucreria Borgia wee given here— Madame Treballi-Bettini appearing for the first time this season as Male* Orsini ; and Madame Giaeconi for the first time in England as Lucretia. The lady who made her debUt as the heroine of Donizetti's tragic opera was, we believe, a pupil of Signor Zamboni, a well-known sing ing master, and has been recently performing with succor at Bombay. Madame Giaocon i, who made &decidedly favour able impression on Saturday night, has a light and flexible soprano voice, of syn.pathetic qualityie the middle range, but somewhat inclined to shrillness in the upper notes when at all forced beyond its natural capacity. The opera was followed by a new ballet divertissement, La Nymplies, a very slight affair, serving to introduce various dances by IL Lauri and Mdlles. Lanza and Goesalin, with some clever grouping and picturesque effects of different coloured lights thrown on the dresses of the dancers. Nicolai's Palsied)* ( Die Lastige,' Welber von Windsor) has been revived at this house after an interval of two years—its first production here having been in 1864. Popular as this opera has been in Germany for more than twenty years, it does not seem to have taken a very strong hold on the English public, admirably as, in some re spects, it is given at Her Majesty's Theatre. The terms of the royal eommiesion on ritual and its composition are said to have bean agreed we, and It Will be submitted for her Majesty's approval before her de parture for the North. Tan nom& or Law COMMIBRION.—The first re port of the Digest of Law Commission has been laid before her Majesty. It is divided under two heads. In the first the commimioners state what has to be dote, as they con ceive, in fulfilment of the commiseiou witrasted to them by the Queen, and secoudly how they propose to do it. They say We think it clear that a work of this nature (regard being had especially to the impottknce of its carry ing with it the greatest weight) could not be accomplished by private enterprise, and that it must be executed by public authority, and at He national expense. With re spect to the means of accomplishing it, we• have consi dered various plans. Any plan must, we think, involve the appointment of a commission or body for etectiting or superintending the execution of the work. Wears not authorised, by the terms of your Majwity's commission, to undertake the execution or direction of such a work, but we are of opinion that it might be conveniently erected under our superintendence.' ARTISTE' GENERAL BENEVOLENT INRTITUTION. —Mr. Anthony Trollops occupied the chair at the anniversary dinner of the Artists' General Benevolent In stitution, which took place at the Freemason,' Tavern on Saturday evening The second of the special toasts of the evening, the Royal Academy and the various Art Societies, was replied to by Sir Francis Grant, Mr. Frederick Taylor and Mr. Hurlestone. The first-named gentleman, in speakiag of the difficulty the hanging committee of the Royal Academy had to contend with owing to want of space, expressed a hope that ere long that difficulty would be removed, and every picture be hung well. He also stated that the usual ticket of admission given to exhibitors would be extended to those lees fortunate artists for whose works no room could be found. The toast of literature, which followed, was asso ciated with the name of Mr. Tom Taylor, who said that although, in the presence of the chairman, he could not hot feel how unworthy he was of the honour paid him, yet there were two departments of literature he had specially laboured in, that of the stage and that of art criticism, and upon the latter he would venture to say • few words. Due allowance, he thought, was not made for the difficulties amid which the work of the critic was performed, especially in oosinexion with the exhibitions of the Royal Academy. It was impossible properly to see, much less to fully appreciate, the works dis played on the walls amid the throng of vi sitors crowding the rooms. He thought that I special facilities ought to be afforded to critics before the opening day, in order that they might more carefully examine the productions on which they had to pass judgment. The intimate relationship existing between art and literature formed the subject of other remarks by the same speaker. The secretary afterwards Announced that the subscriptions amounted to WV. its. Madrigals, glees, and songs were given during the evening by Mr. John Faster, Mr. Montem Sul ith, and Mr. Lawler, under the direction of Mr. Foster, Mr. Call con preside; at the piabofeete. 'Been were • Jerre ans. ber of ladies in the gallery, and the attendance of artists at the table included, besides those already referred to, Mr. Faed, Mr. Creswick, Mr. Elmore, Mr. Frith, Mr. Mil leis, Dlr. Bolan, and many other well-known muses.

SPRIsADING INFIXTION. 2 rhe section of the Sanitary Act of 18th, having for its object the prevention of the spread of contagious illnesses, has, so far as we know, for the first time, been put in operation at Linelade. We gather that a man named Cook, a pauper in the Aylesbury Union Woi khouse, was= inmate of tie " contagious ward," being under treatment for small-pox. Contrary to the strict injunctions of the medical officer, he clandestinely left the union premises, and proceeded along the high road through several populous villages. This wee his second offence. He was prosecuted by the board of guardians, under the 38th section of the act, which enacts that " any person suffer ing from any dangerous infectious disorder, who wil fully exposes himself, without proper precaution against spreading the said diorder in any street, public place, or public convey:ince, shall, on conviction of such offence before any justice, be liable to a penalty not ex. ceeding five pounds. The Linslade bench of magis trates,inefore whom Cook was brought, upon proof of the offence committed, inflicted a penalty of five shillings, and twelve and sixpence coats, at the same time, as we think very properly, declaring that upon the recurrence of any similar case, it would be much more severely dealt with. The section under which this conviction took place is of the highest importance in a public point of view. To act in contravention of it is a cruel breach of good conscience ; and the salsa populi demands that any infraction of 'so wholesome and beneficial an enactment be rigorously dealt with, for in such cases rigour to the offender is mercy to the unoffending multitude. Compassion for the unhappy condition of the offender must not blind the judgment to the nature of the offence ; that a nuts wbo knows that he bears about with him in his own person a dangerous and infectious disease should recklessly thrust hinmeU among his fellows, is wanton inhumanity, and the example of the Aylesbury guardians and the Linslade magistrates may well be followed whenever the necessity shall arise. —Solicaors' Journal. THE FENIAN TRIALS.—DUBLIN, SATURDAY NIGHT.— The Court of Criminal Appeal have confirmed the convictions in the case of Stephen Joseph Meany and Captain M'Cafferty. Seven of the judges decided in favour of the conviction in Mean} 's case, four against it; all were unanimous in bl'eaffertt's case except Justice O'Brien. Chief Baron l'igot, however, did not concur in some of the views put forward to sustain the conviction. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—The men not only offer to submit the whole question in dispute between them and their masters to arbitration, but it is said would allow the masters to appoint the arb itrators, so long as they *elected gentlemen whose known public character would be a gumantee for their impartiality. On Saturday last, being the close of the fourth week of the strike, owing to the liberal supply of funds sent into the committee, they were enabled to pay a larger dividend than for any of the previous weeks. Etch wan on strike received If. ; every widow with a family 11. ; first class journeymen 15e. ; and girls, mostly waistcoat makers, from la. to 10s. each. The committee on Saturday received 7001. from Manchester, 1001. from Edinburgh, 1001. from Glasgow, and large sums from the subscription sheets distributed amongst the various London building establishments and workshops in other trades, which are continued weekly :and they have every reason to believe the support promised from the various trades will enable them to keep up the above pay. Inuits for whatever time the strike lasts. About 500 female workers are on strike, considerably adding to the difficulty of the masters. The females have an °mutilation and committee of their own, with a very efficient secretary, and on Saturday evening last the committee-room in King-street, Soho, was crowded with females, some receiving their strike allowance, and others, in work, paying in their weekly levy of Is., which they do with the same regularity as the men pay their levy of Is. Finis 111 HORAELYDOWN. On Saturday morning, between one and two o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out on the extenive premises of Messrs. Swift and Co., currier' and japanners, Charles-street, Artillery-street, liorselydon. The building in question covered a large space of ground, and was of timber and brick, of two storeys in height. The discovery was made by sonic ore passing bar;r:ho communicated with the police on duty. An was raised, but before the engines arrived the build ing was in dames from one end to the other. Unfortu. nately, the fire engine from Rotherhithe Fire Station toppled over near Millpond Bridge, throwing the firemen off. The police from Rotherhithe station rendered every assistance, and found the following firemen severely in jured :—Mills, legs broken ; Harris, George Gerrard, and the driver of the engine, most seriously hurt. Medical as sistance instantly arrived, when their injuries were quickly seen to. The surgeon at once advised Mills to be sent to Guy's Hospital, where be remains in a precarious state. The other firemen are progressing favourably. The premises were entirely burnt to the ground. The cause of the lire is at present unknown. THB BISHOP OP LONDON'S PASTORAL LETTER. The following letter from the Bishop of Lindoa was read yesterday by the clergy in their respective * alittrobee : " Fulham Palace, May Is, 1567. Bev. and dear brother,—The time has come when I may again fairly request you to urge on your people the claims of that fund which, assisted by the clergy and laity of my diocese, I have organised to meet the spiritual wants of the metropolis. We have reason to thank God for the measure of success which ltai hitherto attended oar efforts. Within ler than (oar years a sum of 202,0001, has been directly subscribed to the toad, and a further sum of about 90,01/01. has been pruutisea ; while at the same time, independently of the fund. S:.::,isak has been subscribed by private donors towards the same objects as those which the fund undertakes; and a further sum of 5.30,0001. has been voted by the Bcclasiestical Cain misaioners towards the endowment of mull livings it the diocese. By means of the money directly subscribed to the fund 115 clergy and 64 lay saaistanta have been added to the sta ff of the diocese. Grants have been made for 57 permatiest churches, and for 71 sites for churches, par, menages, Ire., while a sum of 28,6661. has been voted fee educational purposes. This statement does not include twp largedonations of 4,1001. and s,oM.approptiMed tochurchee and schools in two parishes speci fi ed by the dooms. Let me begyou,however, to urge nponyour people that, notwith standing the exertions dready made, there remains a vast population as yet not reached by our efforts. In order Ps secure one clergyman for every 2,M10 of our populatise, we shall need twice as many additional clergy as we have already secured, with a proportionate number of churches and s chools. I should observe that ose-half of the large stun already subscribed has been contributed by • very small number of persona. I am very anxious that you should, if you have not done so already, originate at this time some ma c hinery in your perish, whereby the middle and labouring classes, as well as the rich, may be induced to take an interest individually in our efforts. With this object, 00 parochial associations have already been formed this year, and 1 should greatly rejoice if each church could have its own amoMation, so that those who live or have property in your parish may be now induced to co-operate in the peat work we have undertaken. Commending thii suggestion and the general interests of the (mid to yoet favourable attention and your prayers, and feeithg confi dent that you will urge on your people the duty iur.mibent on all who live in Loudon, or visit it, to do what they can for the spiritual good of the poor around them—l am► rev. and deer brother, your faithful brother hurl servant. A. C. LONDON." THE BISHOP OP SALISBUP.Y. The following letter has been addressed to the Nisbet by the Rev. Lord Sydney Gudolphia Gshorne : " Durweston, May 70, 1407. "My dear Lord,—l have before me a report in the Wiltshire Mirror of portions of your charge, now in the course of delivery in the diocese. It is not asserted that the reporter has given with perfect awuracy the +aids used. I feel, however, I have a right to assume that in the more important features of what is given, the opinious set forth are those you publicly and solemnly expressed. I have lead them with the greatest sorrow, but with no surprise, as they are in perfect consistency with what your lordship stated in your letter to thyself. You state, ' That the time is come, at any rate in this dime*, when men should be outspoken.' I agree with you, and therefore feel compelled to plainly state the feeling I entertain of the potation in which your 'huge has placed me, an old incumbent of the diocese, by tins deliberate expression of your deliberate opinion on certain points essential to the faith of a protestanh clergyman. The charge of a bishop, I aware, in no way binds the eassoienees of his clergy, it boa no legal mil thority to do so ; it Is nothing more than the expreanien of the personal opinion of one high in office; it is, how► ever, nothing lessthan the voice of one placed in a certainlnd authority over those addressed. In ordinary times, under ordinary circumstances, I should then limey bee. content to have read with sorrow what I should have yet felt I personally had no special call to notice; to my grief I might have added indignation, but I should have been silent. Having taken the part I have lately done is public controversy, and been for so doing visited by your lordship with a newspaper rebuke, couched in language I still think most unjustifiable, but for many reasons did sot care to reflect upon, I feel I am bound at once to state, that just as I questioned the correctness of the opinions you expressed in that letter, so do I now utterly repudiate, as the doctrines of the church to which I wag ordained, those you have now declared to be the doctrines of that church. I deny—that the clergy through their ordination receive any supernatural powers, are invested with any prerogative purely Givine,eitlier in regard to any action on the elements of the Lord's Supper, or in giving or withholding absolution from sin. I admit WV lin* authority by our ordination to declare to the congregatioe that, when penitent, their sins ere remitted, just as we have the same authority to make any one declaration which concerns the statement to them of any one simple truth of the Gospel. I most solemnly assert my disbelief :hat any rational interpretation of any one portion of the New Testament would justify me in teaching my people shut by any operation at my Lauds the hruud :tad wine can become the channel of an Meltable myetery, in the sense—that inwardly it becomes, ' that which my :fts. viour took from the blessed virgin, which he °tiered on the cross as a sacrifice,' to assert, that because the iiodbead for a special purpose, then and there to be once and for all accomplished, took the /natantl form, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, when he was on earth, there is no wittiness in believing—that the bread and wine, the material elements of 'the Supper' re ceive his spirit, in a way analogous if not identical, appears to soy poor judgment to itropowel • doctrine as degrading to the Deity as it is alleecther unfounded on His revealed word. Nu casuistry, no inystie cloud of words and mere human speculation; con make nee see in such an assertion anything but that doctrine of the Roman catholic church which our church has co clearly repudiated. lan allow to others the freedoru of opinion I Liaise for myself, with the fullest conviction, you, my lord, have only uttered that of which you are convinced, yet feel, that were I by silence to seem to accept seek teaching, as say own guide in the instruction of my people. I should betray every principle of that faith in whistle alone I could preach at all : in deference to en anthority set over me by man, I should be as one who surftuderej his loyal to Him who is the only relit over all bore* Your lordship upholds as a remedy against the pn teesions and zeal of Route the changing our defensive pulley for constructive one. if I accepted your lordship's teaching with regard to priestly prerogative and supers-turd sower. I should indeed feell had entered on a cot.tt uctive it would, however, appear to me to be one utterly web versive of all protest against grave error—the comas of all a protestant holds dear, the quitting a shelter from un truth and slavish submission, to erect a now faith's home, Wilton &Hanish foundation,oemented with Roman dogma, nothing less than a prison to restrain :,II who would follow their Lord under the perfect law of Christian liberty. There is no human being, my dear lord, who has a greeter athuiration and respect for your private, character then myself. Few, in that character, love you mare ; nett! I say, then, how painful it is for me to declare Out here I meat stop. lam one of those who think that, allowing a great margin for private opinion, there is a limit at which none are justified in holding office in an establieloneut recog nised as protestant—if passing that limit they avow a creed repugnant to every idea connected with the history of our church, her preaching and practice for centuries, I esteem them not pixtified fur their own sake, or the sake of those who are true to her, to remain within her pale. In all truth I can al, could I be brought to be. lieve the doctrines on which I have now commerited to be those of our church, I would not remain in connexion with her.—l am, my dear lord,youre very truly, S. 0. 0 , 3•01 UM " To the 'tight Rev. the Bishop of Salisbury." - - - MORTI'ARIES IN LONDON.—A meeting of this associatioo was held on Saturday night, at the Scottish Corporation-hall, Crane-court, Fleet-street, to discuss a paper by Dr. Lankester (coroner) on the erection of public) mortuaries in London. Mr. Liddell presioil. Dr. Lan keeter stated that in England there was a geoeral want of suitable places to deposit the dead pret Mum to Such places were necessary—first, fur the deposit of dead ladies in came where no friends or relations were found and there was no law in England to provide for them secondly, for receiving the dead whose friends were too poor to pay the expenses attending a funeral ; thinly, for the receiving of dead bodies which lay in rooms inh.aited by families, or in houses crowded with inhalitants fourthly, for the purpose of receiving bodies for post mortem examination. None but those who had wit nessed it could understand the inconvenience and nuisance of making these examinations in the crowdi il alleys and kitchens inhabited by the poor. In London only a few dead houses were provided independent of work houses, and these were more like the vaults of a tons than anything else, and were badly managed and imper fectly attended. Hs (Dr. Lankester) row . mended that public mortuaries be erected on the closed ~r..teyai as of London, in good taste, and in accordant* with of respect for the memory of the dead, and that each mor tuary should hare three rooms—one lined up with all con veniences for scientific post-mortem examinations; one for the deposit of the dead in oasis ; and thirdly. a room to bold 50 or 60 persona as a jury-room. Dr. Lmkester having bees thanked for his paper, • lengthened dim:notion took place, In which Dr. NI hitmore, Dr. Ablis, Dr. Dol lard, Dr. Vilma, Dr. Hillier, Dr Remit., Dr. Buchanan, and the chairman took part. Amongst other subject* sub sequently introduced was that of the " boil:0101W sick ness," in regard to which the following re...lotion was :—" That in the opinion of ilia meeting it is de: sirs6opted statistics of sickness among the par hould be collected from the medical officers acting under the Metro politan Poor-law Act, and publisbid weekly hy tire Peer: law Camunisioners, and that a deputation wait apes ski Earl of Devon to impress this matter upon him." ii i i .; 1 i tL
