PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 7. The Prussian government have confirmed the concession for the construction of a submarine telegraph line from the English to the Hanoverian coast granted by the Hanoverian government to Reuter's Telegram Company, and have further conceded to the same company the exclusive pri vilege of constructing land lines which will bring the wires into direct eommunication with the entire continental telegraphic system. The cable, which contains four conducting wires, will be in full working order by the Ist October. THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, SEPT. 7. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the An nexation Bill was adopted by 273 against 14 votes, Among those who voted in the minority were Dr. Jacoby and Herren Groote and Kappelmann. The Polish deputies abstained from voting. Sub sequently Count Bismarck laid before the house a bill for the incorporation of Schleswig-Holstein with I'russia, expressing at the same time a wish that it should be dealt with by the Chamber with the least possible delay. PRUSSIA AND THE BELGIAN PRESS. BERLIN, Sr. 7. The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening contains an article upon the anti-Prussian attitude assumed by the Belgian press. The ar ticle says :—" The hope that, after the conclusion of peace, the Belgian press would be careful to treat Prussia with more consideration, has not been fulfilled. On the contrary, it is proving itself to be a decided enemy to the national development of Germany. The Belgian press would do well to take heed lest at some future time it be reckoned among the enemies of Prussia. The journalists of Belgium fear ono powerful neighbour, insult an other, and repress all national liberty in their own country. Let them at last become conscious of the responsibility they incur." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 7. The Czar returned here yesterday from Moscow. The Inralick Busse of to-day declares that the dis turbances of the Caucasus have been entirely quelled, and that tranquillity is now everywhere restored. According to that journal the distur bances were caused by the circulation among the mountaineers of false reports set afloat in con nexion with the statistics relative to the abolition of serfdom which were being collected at the time by the Russian authorities.

Gladstone, has for some der pest been on a visit to the Bishop of Salisbury, and the liberals of the city, taking advantage of the opportu nity, yesterday afternoon, presented him with an address, a public meeting for the purpose having been convened by the Mayor (Mr. R. Stokes). There warn a very numerous aMendanee, and Mr. Gladstone received quite an ova tion from the citizens. Mrs. Gladstone was elm very heartily cheered, sadPreltemor Rawoett,ll.P. for Brighton (a native of Salimlicuy), had likewise a very cordial reception. .. The presided, and brielly opened the proceeding' by explaining that he had convened the meeting in oom- Orme with a very numerously dined requisition of the inhafritents of the oily, presented to him on the previous evening. The address was from theatre' electors and non electors, and he entreated for all the speakers a patient and attentive heeling, whate►er might be the opinions ex pressed. On the malice at Nr. Alderman rawcser, seconded by Dr. Loan[, the following address wan then presented to Mr. Gladstone by the Mayor, who had signed it on behalf of the meeting: W. I. GIADSIONS, X.P., &C. Mr,—We the liberal electors and non-electors of the dty of gallsbnr, gladly emit see the opportunity of your visit to our anc•ent ' dia=attres-. " y d ot .: 4ln twiti ni admtrr of our res y eer. re~ our C ur" le oar cornea tam= to you yoa I).° pect fo- the man; iLYditttt Pans maned from your management of the Anneal affairs of this great country, and we trust tha ere long tie power of Inaugurating farther ilecal Im provements may again be in your hands. teltsen.) We also beg to express our profound regret that the course of action pursred by a section of the liberal party in the put seesion of parliament has led to the overthrow of the ' Judicious measure of refe-m introduced by you, and which having Justice for Its basis, we believe to be essential to the wel fare of the community. We cherish the conviction that the country is ripe tor action in this =Jet and that the next ses sion must witness a liberal government dealing satisfactorily with the question. We trust that your life may long be spared, and that this country may continue to have the advantage of your great abilities, and of your urdoobted political honesty." Mr. Giaurrotir then came forward, and was greatly cheered. He said—M'. Mayor and gentlemen, I accept with the moot cordial pleasure the address which, sir, you have been so good as to present to me on behalf of the liberal electors and non-electors of the ancient city of Salisbury. (Cheers.) It is trae, Mr. Mayor, that I am not entitled to claim any connection of interest o r descent in a special sense with this most pleasant district of the country, with its early civilization, with its monu ments unsurpassed, with its highly advanced and advanc ing agriculture, and with its improved, and I rejoice to think, constantly improving position. (" Hear, hear," and ap i dause.) Yet, sir, there are personal ties which, I feel, constitute some special relation between this city and this district, and myself. For 40 years I have had the honour, and, if it be not my own fault, the advantage of an uninterrupted friendship with your venerated bishop— (hear, hear)—and if I do not expatiate upon the character of that eminent personage it is because I feel that this is I...political occasion, and hardly suited for such a purpose. (Hear, bear.) And there is another personal tie with respect to which I feel myself under no such restraint— namely, that in common, gentlemen, with you all, I claim an interest in the memory of Sidney Herbert. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) No one can visit this portion of the country, whether he knew Lord Herbert or not, without seeing upon every side the marks of his judgment, his mu. nificenoe, and his philanthropy—(bmar, hear)—brit more than all these visible marks, gentlemen, is the recollection of himself which he has left in every one of your minds and hearts. (Hear, hear.) He was a man of whom it is in one sense difficult, but in another sense easy to speak. It is difficult to speak of biro, because of that singular harmony and singular variety of gifts—every gift of per son, every gift of position, every gift of character—with which it pleased Providenos to bless him, he was one of whom we may well recite words which the great poet of this country has applied to a prince of our early history, cut off by death earlier than his oountrymen would have desired : ♦ sweeter and a lovelier gentleman, Framed in the prodigality of nature, The spacious earth cannot afford again. He was • man framed in the prodigality of nature, and one whom, therefore, it would be difficult adequately to describe—one standing, in many respects, by himself, and one with respect to whom we may say, that we cannot hope, or expect to see two such in a single generation. (Hear, hear.) There was something so genial and so human in all his great and loving qualities, that we feel we may claim with him kindred as a man ; and there is not one of us, however far we may be behind him, who may not derive advantage from the contemplation of his character, and from endeavouring. as far as we can, to re produce it by walking in his steps. (Hear, hear, and ap plause.) Happy in all the circumstances of his life ; happy in his position ; happy in his descent ; happy in his domestic relations; happy in his means of doing good; happy in his social qualities : happy, above all, in that love and fear of God which was the basis of his whole life— if he was taken from us earlier than our short-sighted desires might have suggested, he has left among us what may well be called • fragrant and a blessed memory. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But he has left us something, gentlemen, in addition to his memory. He has left us hopes, be has left us rich and abundant hopes, that his ancient house may be continued to be represented among you. (Cheers.) Ho has left us the promise, the rich pro mise, of his children—(cheers)—and every one of us, I am sure, joins in the hearty and earnest wish and prayer that those children may be brought up, as I feel confident they will be brought up, to walk in the way of their father, and to remind you of his virtues. (Cheers.) For the first and eldest among them especially let us breathe that wish. It is no small thing to be the son of such a father, and in endeavouring to emulate his career Lord Pembroke will have upon his side the heartiest desires and the heartiest prayers of you all. (Cheers.) 'Well, gentlemen, I come now to the matter of this address. I am sure you will not expect of me that I ahouli endeavour on an occasion like this to detain you by re producing the feeble image of a scene in the House of Commons. But I own the generosity with which the country at large has on every occasion acknowledged the honest endeavours of its public men to render it service. Those public men are grateful for those acknowledgments, and rely upon it, they will form with them a fresh motive to exertion. I am happy, gentlemen, to think that I may, in return, sincerely and cordially congratulate you upon the general condition of the country. We have passed through, as you have all heard and know—we have passed through a monetary crisis of unusual length and severity, but in the midst of that crisis the revenue of the country has never for one moment flagged. (Hear, hear.) The revenue of the country, independently of its immediate purpose of supplying the wants of the Exchequer, has another most important use in indicating the condition of the country. Although the pressure upon those interests that are immediately connected with the use of capital has, during the last three months, gone beyond former precedent, yet, at the same time, the demand for labour has continued almost without diminution. The state of the capital and industry of the country has, upon the whole, been maintained, and the people thrive and prosper, so that we have seen on this, as on several occasions, that together with the re markable transition which has been effected, and in which Lord Herbert had so distinguished a share, from a system of fettered and trammelled to one of open and free industry—we have not only seen, as one of its results, an enormous extension of the business of tke country, but we have likewise seen that its vast commercial transactions have attained to a degree of steadiness and consolidation such as never before was known. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Well, gentlemen, you advert, and I cannot wonder that you advert, to that question which has been the absorbing question of the present year—l mean the subject of reform. (Cheers.) Upon that subject, gentlemen, I feel that the country is unquestionably not in the dark, so far as my opinions, de sires, and intentions are concerned. (Hear, hear.) No one has accused me of any undue reserve in the business of putting ray conntrymen is possession of all that I had to say—(" hear, hear," and laughter)-so far as it might be regarded by them an a matter of interest. In truth, gentlemen, I have had a teak to perform which, I fear, has Does beyond my strength—No, no)--and to my defective performance of that task- (no)—I don't say you—(laughter)—but at any rate many impute—as they have a perfect right to impute if they think it—the faller* or the miscarriage during the present year of th►t great question. I may not, perhaps, wholly concur in the opinion—(laughter)—but at the same time I feel that it is an opinion which they have a perfect right to enter tain if they think fit, and which if they entertain they do better to express it. (Hear, hear.) However, gen tlemen, what I observe is this, that there is a great disinclination to express any aversion to a further re form of parliament (hear, hear, and cheers)—and there being a peat disinclination to express plainly that aversion, other modes are adopted of accounting for the failure that baa occurred. One of those modes has been, as Vhim7ssici, so al to that I think it better to pass by that topic alto gether, only assuring you that if it be my fate to take • harems part in the prosecution of that question (" hear, hear," and cheer}--I shall honestly endeavour ti I avoid any faults which I may have heretofore committed, and at tie lams time while endeavouring to avoid those faults, tidal' also endeavour to avoid any of those half hearted modse of speech and action—(" hear,ihear," and great cheering}—which undoubtedly are in favour with certain portions of the community. (Laughter, bear, hear, and cheers.) But, gentlemen, there is another charge th at has been made, and which does not affect myself alone, but affects the ament to which I lately belonged, and on which I wOl certainly say one word with very great nor - Mere". It is sometimes stated that the failure of the her iu.i.;tii; government for the extension of the francluae, as the Ant and most important of the measures connected with an improvement of the representation of the people, was dpe to the careless, rash and hasty manner ip which tW"Mesumre had been humid. sown, it is always open to a political party to treat as impotent the efforts of its opponents ; and in speaking of a government there is no extent of d ~ 'sparagement to which its opponents may not with apparent fauna resort. All that I can say, gentlemen, is this--at any rate, the members of the late gove•ament were men who were the oldest and meet expe rienced public servants of the crown—(hear, hear)—and if they really did frame a hasty and an ill-considered mea.- Fire, it was more bl a meable in them than it could possibly have been in anybody else ; but if haste and rashness are to be measured by the ordinary tests, then I must say to this charge against the government, that no measure which has been introduced into parliament since the great set of DM in relation to reform ever was prepared with one half of the industry, care, solicitude, and patient examination which was bestowed by the late government upon the bill that they introduced for the reduction of the franchise. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) It is true, gen tlemen, that that hill did not contain a great multitude of provisions. We wished to make it a simple and intelligible measure. (Hear, hear.) I believe that in that object we succeeded. (Hear, hear.) I believe that the epithet of praise which yuu have bestowed upon it here in your address, where you call it a judicious measure, is an epithet destervea by its provisions. (Hear, hear. ) It is true that that bill has failed. Don't therefore suppose . . that the question is likely to remain long in abeyance. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, in this room I shall strictly avoid all allusion to local politico—(" Hear, hear," and laughterl— for this reseal, if for no other, that I have long enjoyed the privilege of the friendship of both of the gentlemen by whom this city is represented, and from the elder of them —the elder of the two representatives—a liberal govern ment has upon former important occasions received cordial and generous support. ( Hear.) Gentlemen, Salisbury, I am happy to say, has rendered us considerable assistance in connexion with this question. Yon have reared the man whom Brighton has sent to parliament—(" hear, hear," and cheers) —whom you are glad to number among your fellow•townsmen, who is not ashamed of that title, and whom we in the House of Commons, upon all sides I may pregame to say, welcome as an important and valu able addition to the strength of the representatives of the people. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.) There is another gentleman immediately connected with Salisbury, whom upon this occasion I cannot refrain from naming. I mean Mr. Lambert. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lambert occupies a position in the public service of which I need not say that it is important, and that he well discharges its duties ; but this I will say, that he is a man of charac ter, a man of talents, and a man of devotion to duty that would fit him for a higher, and yet more responsible posi tion. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) I cannot bestow too high a commendation upon the manner in which Mr. Lambert, during the eight months he was engaged in that service, discharged the very arduous and difficult duty of examin ing into the whole of the facts connected with the actual state of the representation of the people. (Cheers.) Moat sincerely and earnestly do I congratulate you upon reckon ing such a man among the citizens of Salisbury, while I as cordially record my gratitude to him for the important esrviessikehasrendsred to thestate. (Cheers.) New, gentle ' men, if we look at the state of public affairs in general—if we look especially beyond our own shores—l cannot but entertain the hope that the stirring events which have occurred in Europe are likely to result in the realising of great and solid becefits for the friends of general peace and proaperity. What we in England want to see is, Europe tranquil, flourishing, and industrious. (Cheers.) The days have gone by when that idle and mischievous delusion prevailed, that the strength of each country was to be sought in the depression of its neighbours. (Hear, bear.) We wish to see the United Kingdom of her Majesty strong, but we wish to see it strong in conjunc tion with the strength and well-being of every other state in the civilised world ; and we wish to Noe it deriving much of its strength, and much of its prosperity from that beneficial intercourse of industry and trade with every other co..ntry. which not only increases wealth by some and salutary exchanges, but which knits together the hearts of men in the several countries of the earth, and helps to make those one in spirit and in feeling, whom the providence of God Almighty has made one in race and nature. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen. the short and deci sive war we have seen goes to invest Europe, so far, with the blessings of solid, well-defined territorial divisions, and promises to leave the administration of states end go vernments in hands well suited for the task—(cheers) — with the people of those states attached to the persons un der whom they are to be ruled, and the rulers themselves competent to discharge all the duties that are conducive to the maintainance of general peace and order. As to ourselves, gentlemen, we can hardly my that the results of the legislation of the year have been satisfactory. We have got a great unsolved question in our hands; and I think that question of such importance that I would not, for any consideration, say one single word that would tend to impede, or to prejudice its solution, irre spective of the quarter from which that solution may come. (Laughter.) If a good, honest. effectual measure is proposed by those now invested with the responsibilities ' of government, let us embrace it with all our hearts— , Icheers)—and let us say nothing, and do nothing at this time either to drive them onwards, or to drive them back wards. Let us leave in their own minds, and in their own hearts, the discharge of the responsible duties which they have courted and assumed. (Laughter.) Looking first and foremost of all, above and beyond all, to the satisfactory solution of the question which has assumed a magnitude far above anything personal, far above everything connected with the immediate interests of party, which bait become national and imperial in the truest sense—(" hear, hear." and cheers)—only this I will say, while there should be no haste, and no precipitation, it is important that the solu. tion should not be too long delayed. (Hear, heir.) There is a sense in the minds of the people of this country that the subject has been trifled with—lhear, bear}—and the mani festations, especially among the working classes of the community within the last two or three months, have been such that if I were to look at them with reference simply to the promotion of the views of the late govern ment, I should hail them with an unqualified satisfac tion, for indeed they must have been amply sufficient to convince those who persisted long after conclusive evidence to the contrary, in the idle assertion that the nation was indifferent to reform. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Bat, gentlemen, I frankly own I am not one of those who desire to see this country perpetually torn by agitations and discussions upon questions of organic change. (Hear, hear.) L think that if we were wise—l think that if we addressed our minds to this subject in the spirit of moderation and of justice —in that spirit, gentlemen, I presume to say by which the late government at least endeavoured to he guided, and by which I am persuaded its members will strive to be actuated hereafter—it is in our power still to affect a satisfactory settlement of that question. (Hear, hear.) I think, kowever, it is time to make cautious men reflect, when separate classes are so much called upon to art in their separate capacities,—why are we to have all this separation between the working classes and other portions of the community. ("Hear, hear," and bravo.) This at tempt to draw that broad and invidious distinction, to cast suspicion rpm them with regard to their motives and their competency has naturally re-acted in a vigorous, dis tinct, separate, intelligible reaction upon their p.rt. (Hear, hear.) I think it is impossible but that such must be the result—(cheers)—but happy shall I be when the day arrives when all such separate action will come to a close—(heer, bear)—and when we as a united commu nity, all classes under their several and distinctive names, be they richer, or be they poorer, be they higher or be they lower, shall look upon this question of the franchise as a question of national and imperial interest far above all narrow considerations, and shall unite in offering an e :- tension of political privilege—an extension safe indeed, but liberal and effectual to those who have been, and who still are excluded, bet whose competency for the exercise of those duties, I think none, at least of them assem bled in this room can doubt. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Gentlemen, I trust that solution may be arrived at at an early period. (A Voice: "By the Wet.") Our efforts —I spear for myself and for thorns with whom I have the honour of acting—will not be wanting. I Gan give no pledge on their part, and I believe you will ark for none, exc ept this—that we shall endeavour tok e Z n in view the interests of our country and we lind a those interests in the manner and in the wenn in which we have hitherto endeavoured to explain and enforce [STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.] them.' (Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, I have go more to do, except to render to you the e x pression of my gratitude for your great kindness.. (Cries of "Go Cu.)" I appreciate the kindness of that wish, but at the same time I cannot but feel that there is too much from air. cumsionoes, of i;ersonal relation between this question and myself. ( o, no.) The question will be best and most fairly judged by the people of this country in pre portion Ea it is detached from every personal conside ration. (Hear, bear.) The weight of public opinion, the weight and value of all its indications, would be dis paraged, if it could with jturtios be said that the minis ters who have been politically overthrown, were using their personal endeavours to inflame the public mind. (Hear, hear.) I own to you that I think we have dope our part, so far as lc in our power. The further pro secution of the question, until we meet again within the walls of parliament, lies with the people of this country. lam =tuned to abide their verdict. I believe them to be competent judges of their own interests. It is for them, it is for every intelligent man in every rank of the commupity, to eoesider in his own conscience what course he shall Wm with rresppeecot to it. The aggregate result of the exrisca of individuals is that which will give form to the pression of public opinion. With you, gentlemen, for the present—with you, as a sample of the great British public —the prosecution a nd handling of this great question lies. When the time for parliamentary exertion comes, rely upon it that if you think we have done our duty in the past, so we shall be prepared again to do it in the future. (Loud chain.) Professor FAWCETT. M.P. for Brighton, said, after the brilliant end touching speech to which they had put lis tened, he felt to the Iset degree reluctant to sy a 'wort: Hearncltowerver, glad to have the oppoedrnil7 i f expressing his grateful and heartfelt thanks for the too flattering erpressiona which Mr. Gladstone had used towards him. He could say with all sincerity that he ad mired Mr. Gladstone before he (Professor Fawcett) entered the House of Commons ; having watched the right hon. gentleman's career as narrowly as any man since he had been there, hie admiration for him had increased tenfold. He believed that the hopes of the liberal party mainly de pended upon Mr. Gladstone's honest and straightforward efforts. (Cheers.) He (Professor Fawcett) was as firm a friend to the great principles of civil and religious liberty as any men ; and he thought he was justified in saying that three who cherished those principles most dearly were thou who were most earnestly desirous of seeing Mr. Gladstone continue to occupy, whether he was in or out of office, the prominent position which be filled at the present time in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) And further, he felt that they would be wanting somewhat in gratitude if they allowed, that meeting to separate without expressing on behalf of the country . their acknow ledgments to Mrs. Gladstone for her heroic conduct in the dreadful visitation which had lately come upon London. (Much cheering.) They often heard of co they heard that there was the courage of the battle field, and Englishmen had never been deficient in this—they knew that there was courage in fighting • great cause, and it was this latter kind of courage that they were honouring in the person of Mr. Gladstone ; but without in the least degree detracting from his merits and those of others, be thought he might say that there was a higher kind of courage even than these—that heroism which was sometimes most un seen by the world—the heroism of constant end strenuous effort to do good, and bring consolation to those who were stricken down by disease. (Hear, hear.) A panic was coming over London, and that panic would likely have been intense, and disastrous—for it seemed to be the mis fortune of our modern civilisation that in our large towns there arose a broader line of demarcation be tween the rich and the poor—the poor living in one dirtrict and the rich in another, and the rich too often knowing nothing of the condition of their bumbler fellow-countrymen. It was no exaggeration to say that in the cast end of London there were square miles of wretchedness, poverty, and squalor. Well, a tem'ble visitation attacked that district just as the rich were leaving town ; but there was one person who remained at any rate, to show that she would not shrink from her duty of doing everything that charity and love could dictate to bring comfort and consolation to those who were afflicted and distressed. (Cheers.) He was sure that not only those whom he addressed, but the country at large, appreciated those efforts; and he was proud to say that their great statesman had the inexpressible good fortune to have as a helpmate a woman whose sympathies were so with every thing that philanthropy, charity, and love could dictate. (Cheers.) Mr. H. D. SEYMOUR, M.P. in response to a general call from the meeting, offered a few observations, in the course of which he expressed his belief that the happy and har monious future of the country depended mainly upon the passage of • liberal and judicious measure of reform. (Hear, hear.) _ Mr. GLADSTONE said he desired to acknowledge, with feelings of siucere gratitude, the declarations which had been made by Professor Fawcett with regard to his wife. They would easily understand, however, that that was a subject on which it was not very may for him to speak, at least to say, before a public assembly, all that he felt in regard to it. He thought those were very much mis taken who supposed that courage and fortitude were virtues belonging to men more than to women. (Hear, hear.) He recollected an incident that once happened to himself. It was his fortune to be on board ship. though he had not been a sailor for the great part of his life—(Hear, hear)—with a mixed crew of gentle. men and ladies, chiefly belonging to a foreign coun try. Well, bad weather came on, and he noticed tbas at the beginning the ladies were very noisy, while the gen tlemen were rather quiet—(laughter)—but as affairs grew more serious the ladies all became quiet, while the gent`e men began to jabber. (Renewed laughter.) He really believed, therefore, that if there could be such a thing as fair competition between men and women for excellence in the virtue of cow age, although the forms of its manifesta tion were, and ought to be very different, the belies would not be the last in the race. Perhaps they would allow him also to say—what he knew his wife would wish him to say that she had had numerous com petitors in the duty to which Professor Faw cett had alluded. There bad not been wanting those who, though living in the west-end of London, in the midst of comfort, of luxury, and even of splendour, bail yet not forgotten in the day of need their labouring fellow-countrymen at the east end, and who were ready to brave all danger of pestilence in ministering to their relief. (Cheers.) For his own part, he ventured to be lieve that in a political meeting these things were not wholly out of place, bemuse the foremost tie that bound society together was, after all, the resolute, kindly, and Christian discharge of every personal duty by one human being to another. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the May or of Salisbury for presiding over the meeting. This was carried by acclamation, and his worship having briefly acknowledged the compliment, the proceedings terminated with three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. REFORM MEETING AT DERBY. —A Reform meet ing was held at Derby on Thursday night in the Corn Exchange. The immense building, which will hold nearly six thousand persons, was crowded to excess, and the ex citement and enthusiasm ran very high. The chair was taken by Mr. Councillor Etches, and upon the platform were Mr. Edmond Beals, Mr. Ernest Jones, Mr. Samuel Plimsoll, of Sheffield ; Mr. Howell, the Rev. W. Griffiths, and many others. The following resolutions were adopted : —l. "That the efforts recently made in the House of Commons by a monstrous combination of Adullamites and Tories, to stop the progress of reform, are viewed by this meeting with disgust and abhorrence, as demon strating that the majority of that home have no regard for the just and equitab le rights of the people of this country." 2. " That the present ministry, who have thrust themselves into office unsanctioned by the country, ' and who have unconstitutionally endeavoured to suppress the meetings of the people in favour of reform, are un worthy of public confidence, and cannot be expected to carry on the government according to the wishes and interests of the community at large." 3. " That this meeting regards with satisfaction the formation of a branch in Derby, auxiliary to the National Reform League, and trusts it will be well supported by all the friends of freedom in this borough and its neighbour hood, and thereby pledges itself to demand, agitate for, and use all lawful means to obtain registered sad resi dential manhood suffrage, as the only just basis of re presentation, and the ballot as a protection." FINE-ART Gossip.—Mr. Sydney Smirke, R.A., has been unanimously chosen architect of the new Royal Academy to be erected at the back of Burlington-house, the latter being retained as tln facade of the building. A building committee hu been appointed, of Messrs. Cope, Creswick, Marshall, Weekes, Hardwick, Scott, and the officers of the institution. Mr. Smirke was the originator of the very excellent plan which is to be followed. Mr. Foley's fine statue of Lord Herbert of Les, which is soon to be placed iu front of the War-office, Pall-mall, has been suc cessfully cast in bronze. Mr. Weekes's monument of Arch bishop Sumner, not long since exhibited in model at the Royal Academy, has been placed in Canterbury Cathe dral. The effigy is recumbent, in full canonicals, the hands folded over the chest and an open bible : it is placed un a richly-carved altar-tomb, bearing the arms of the sees of Chester and Canterbury. With no great pretension in art, this work is not only in good keeping with the archi tecture by which it is surrounded, but significant of the faith and offices of the deceased, and infinitely superior ia its sterling qualities to anything of the sort lately placed is our oatbedrala. It is proposed to erect a temporary building for the exhibition of the designs sent in tr ope tion for the new law courts. It has been agreed hat it is desirable to have a carriage thoroughfare through Great Turnstile into Linecdn's-inn-fields ; the site Is to be Nur reyed. Dir. Gibson, one of the architects appointed to compete for the law courts, has resigned hischance plats will not be filled up.—dgficserwas. [TWOPENCE THE CHOLERA. The following is the official return of deaths from cholera and diarrhea reestered on Thursday: Cholera. Diarrhea West districts North districts 6 Central distaieft ]Bast districts. l2 1 South districts 6 Total in London The return for the sub-district of Lee (Lewisham) was not received in time for publioaMos. THE MANSION-HOUSE BELIEF COMMITTEE. __ Yesterday, towards the relief fund, the Lord Mayor received from Mr. Justice Wilke, 21/. ; from the National Provincial Bank of England, 521. 10s. ; Lad Greet, for the orphan fund, 50/. ; the Coach a nd Cinch Harness Makers' Company, 251. ; Mr. C. Aldin, South Kensington, and his workmen, 261. 112. ed., among other donations. At one o'clock the working committee held a meeting at the Manaionliouee. A deputation from the board of the Royal Free Hos pital, Gray's-inn-road, headed by Mr. J. B. Owen, the chairman, attended before the committee, and stated the preparations that had been made there in apprehension of cholera.. Immediately the approach of the disease was announced they prepared, at considerable cost, three die tinet wards, apart from the rest of the hospital, with beds and furr'eure complete for the reception of 72 p•Scuinta, and en.aged day and night nurses to attend them. They could are made preparstions for as many as 200 if required. They fitted up • separate dispensary, and en gaged two special dispensers, one by day sad the other by nigh., to administer medicines at all hours in diarrhoea cases, which latter had amounted, up to Saturday lad, to 1,169'. The board had every reason to believe that these prompt remedial measures have had the effect of staying the progreez of the disease, and allaying much publicqp prehenaion in that very poor and populous district of n ti on. They mentioned with gratitude that, in the oho era year of 1832, the mereices of the hospital were acknow ledged by a munificent grant of 5001. from the Lord Mayor and corporation. Yesterday the committee, takeng into consideration that the institution is entirely dependent on voluntary contributions and is moreover free to all comers whom the comb ined misfortune of sickness and destitution compels to appeal for ifs relief, made the board • grant of 1001. in aid of the expenses incurred solely on account of the malady. A deputation from the Spitalfields and East London Relief Sckeiy, at the head of whom was the Rev. John Pateeson, the rector of Spitalfields, had also an interview with the committee. They had previously received • coo miderable grant from the Mansion-houie, and they gave yesterday what struck the committee as a very remarkable and satis:actory account of how they had expended the money supplemented by subscriptions among themselves. Since last Tuesday fortnight, when they received the grant from the Lord Mayor, they had dispensed amongst the poorest poor of that populous district about 7,000 rations, each eon meting of 5 or. of good cooked meat, with gravy and doe and 441 gallons of beef tea wade from the excellent recipe used in the London Hospital. They had expended in beef tea alone more than 1401., and they had given 700 good dinners every day. The beef tea was dispensed gratuitously, but for each ration of cooked meat and rice a charge of 2d. was made, being • small pert of its cost. One out of per haps fifty of the applicants could not pay the 21., but the difficulty was always met in a private way. "We believe," said Mr. Pattesou, the rector, yesterday, " that we have been carrying out in this way the admirable suggestion made by the Lord Meyer in the committee the other day, that in the distribution of the public bounty they were to take care not to add peupetiem to pauperism, but to help those who were disposed to help themselves." Dr. Andrew Clark, physicitin to the London Hospital, said be had paid three visits to Mr. Patteson's commitiee, and it was but bare justice to them to say that he bad been exceedingly pleased—first, with the very admirable manner in which they had conducted the house-to-house visitation ; secondly, with the scrupulous care they had taken that tbo relief found its way where it was most wanted ; and thirdly, with the arrangement of only dis tributing stimulants under • medical order in each came. The committee made them a further grant of 1001., with a quantity of port wine, and Sir biordeunt Wells said there was • unanimous feeling in the committee that the deputation bad discharged their duty in the emergency in the most admirable manlier. _ . —_„.. Before separating, the committee also made a gnat to the relief committee in Ftatcliff, of which the Rev. Dlr. Atherton is the chairman, of 75/. for convalescents, and undertook to supplement any grant the Bishop of London might make them for general purposes. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The different commissions continued to take evi dence. At Lancaster it appears that 7,5001. was spent on behalf of the liberal candidates ; their " legal" expenses are returned u 1,2001. The evidence given as to bribed voters is in part curious. A surgeon-dentist cost 2J., a voter calling himself an menthe cost 3/., a 14 1 . house holder 5/., an attorney 10/. and a Morecambe fi sherman 15/. Colonel Yeadill, a r etired officer of the Indian artil lery, "believed" he was a liberal in politics, and took considerable interest in the last election. lie spent a lot of money without authority, and without caring whether he was repaid or not. The part he played seemed to be that of commander of the runneis. The publichomie keepers looked to bim for payment for the refreshment supplied to the runeers and assistants. There were about 200 runners employed ; they were divided into gangs ; over each gang a captain was placed ,• and their duty was to see that the other side did not " bottle " any voters. The other side not only employed runners, but ado men to shout at thu nomination. The colonel thought Mr. Wilson expected to win the election as Joshua too'c Jericho—by shouting. There seems to have been a special importation of penny whistles for the occasion. Mr. Wilson Barker, the conservative cashier, said that the gross expenditure on their side was 7,7457. — At Great Yarmouth yesterday several more witnesses were examined. A surgeon dentist deposed to having 101. left at his house, and after that he was asked if lie wanted money, and he replied that he did, a good deal, and so he got lf'd. more. This same witness had deserted the party to which he had been formerly attached, out of revenge ; he had been offered such a paltry sum by them. Another witness stated that be heard that Jones (Sattertbwaite) was coming to the election, and that the liberals were going to " do" things " properly ;" that was, in such a way that they could not be found out. Con siderable amusement was caused by a witness named Shattock, who had been a shoemaker, but was now out of business ; retired, we suppose. Jones (Satterthwaite) gave him 240/. to distribute amongst voters. After he hail done paying there was 20/ left, and that sum still remained in his hands. He wail now willing to return this 201, if his name might be taken from the list as a " briber." The commiesioners would not near of that, so the witness said he was indignant at living his name in the list, and had no objection to hated over the money at s once. On this Junes (Satterthwaite) stepped forward with considerable smartnees, and said he was willing to receive it on behalf of Mr. Brogden, hut witnen drew hack, and said that if his name was to stand he might as well keep the money. Ultimately, however, he gave it to Mr. Bat terthwaite, who carried out the fun for the audience by giving the following receipt for it :—" Received from J. Shattock, 201., on behalf of Mr. Bromley, as returned bribery money.—C. Saerearrovarrx."—At Totnes, severed witnesses were subjected to examination, but nothing veeimportant was elicited. (inc witness de to ha ving a letter from Lord Crausteun, in which his lordship wish his tenants to vote for the conservative can didates. One tenant said that he liked Mr. l'ender, but I c ould not think of voting against his lordship's wishes. VACATION JUDGES.—Yeaterday Vice-Chancellor Stuart sat as vacation judge, and will art as such until term. Chief Baron Kelly, as common law vacation judge was engaged the whole day. THE WORKING MEN'S CONGILEIVI AT GENEVA.- The seven British delegates to this congiess arrived at Geneva late on Sunday evening last, and were received at the station by a crowd of working mcn who bad assembled for the purpose, and who greeted their presence with elects. The delegates were then escorted to the rooms of the Geneva section of the International Working Men's Association, aid regaled with supper. Lodgings were also provided for them. On Monday morning, about 9 o:ciock, the British delegates were escorted by a brass band and with colours flying through the principal thoroughfares of Geneva to the capab l eer* the congress wail to meet. The hall ie • place capabof holding about a thousand persons.. It is decorated with flags. Over the president's chair is the red flag of the Geneva section of the International Working Men's Association ; to the right of this' the "stars and stripes," and to the left the flag of the Swiss republic. Telegrams were received announcing that two delegates from America and one from Naples were 'on their way. The opening speeches were made by Citizen* Becker and Dupleix, the former in the German the latter in the French language. Becker is the president of the German branch of the Geneva section of the emaciation ; Dupleie bears the same relation to the French or Romano branch. Dr. Coullere, the president of the Chanx-de•Fonds (Pays de Vaud) branch, also spoke, and the congress then adjourned until the afternoon. On re aasembling, Mr. lung, watchmaker, of Northampton. squire, Clerkeawell, and one of the seven delegates from London, was elected president of the congress. lung is a Switzer by birth, and possesses French and German from his earliest yews. A residence of tea years in London ham given him almost equal facility in the use of the Sneak tangos" The discussions in the programme, prepared by the London conference in September, 1865, commenced en Wednesday morning.
