The Gazette of to-day contains an 'important preamble to the new finance measures of Senor Figuerola. The minister decrees the abolition of the octroi duties throughout Spain and the adja cent islands. To replace this source of income, which was estimated to produce about 200 millions annually, a poll tax is to be imposed upon all per sons of the age of 14 years and upwards, the said impost to be classified according to the value of the houses they inhabit and the grade of their families. The poor will not be subject t 3 the tax. The Junta, considering that several municipa lities continue to hold ofhce without having ta ke n any further steps than that of giving in their adhesion to the government, and this state of things giving rise to many complaints, • declara tion is issued stating that all municipalities must be elected by universal suffrage. A circular has been addressed by Senor Sagest*, Minister of the Interior, to the provincial Juntas, relative to the provisional appointment of municipal officers and provincial delegations. A decree has also been published suppressing the provincial councils and a section of the council of state in which conten tions had arisen. The resignation of the Spanish ambassador at the court of Florence has been accepted, and Senor Valero, the minister at Lisbon, has been recalled. (Porz, acs, £XD lei.r.Ax's =UGLIER.) PARIS, Oor. 14. The Nation, of Madrid, the organ of the Pro greesists, announces itself in favour of a mo narchical form of government, and looks upon the Duke of Edinburgh as the most probable choice of the people to govern the country. The Bishop of Tarragona is reported to have pronounced against the provisional government, and to have placed himself in an offensive attitude in the country at the head of 2,000 followers. The Spanish octroi has been replaced by taxes upon individuals. (ntox SUE cEirrxxi. ruse, ix Aririgric crux.) KEW YORK, Ocr. 14, 1 A.m. News sent from here last night, to the effect that General Lersundi had proclaimed the provi sional government, is incorrect. General Ler sundi announces his intention to hold Cuba, irre spective of political movements at home, and devote himself to the preservation of order and peaoe. (razotrox wawa's AGINCT.) MOUNT VESUVIUS. NAPLES, Oor. 14. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius is increasing in intensity; the flow of lava is more copious, and the dynamic action of the cone more vigorous. From the arrangements made by Vice-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget it is believed that the Eng lish iron-clad squadron will make some stay at Naples. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Ocr. 14, Errirrso. The North German Parliament will be opened on the 4th November, and immediately after the opening of the session the entire budget for 1869 will be laid before the house. The King of Prussia will leave Baden Baden on the 20th inst. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 13. Fuad Pacha leaves to-morrow for Italy, where he will spend the winter for the restoration of his health. It is not expected that ho will resume his official duties for a long time. A grand military review is announced to take place on Thursday in presence of the tiultan and ministers.

NEW YORK, Oarosza 14. The Presidential election may now bo considered as practically decided. The Republicans have carried Pennsylvania by 15,000 majority, Ohio by 25,000, and Indians by about 10,000. The number of votes everywhere has been unprecedentedly large. At the South the tranquillizing effect of this result is lately to be very great. Enormous frauds have been oomniittod by the Democrats in Philadelphia.—Deil y New.

This evening Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Gran&ll, the liberal candidates for the representation of the south wstern division of Lanceshire, attended a crowded 11110 - ing of the electors in the Amphitheatre ; Mr. T. D. HOMY presided, and there were also present—the Bight Hon. W. N. Mussy and Mr. W. Rathbone, the liberal candidates for Liverpool; Captain fikerrard Osborn, the liberal candidate for Birkenhead ; Mr. H. Y. Thompson, one of the liberal candidates for South-East Lanaashire ; Mr. G. Melly, M.P., and Colonel Roden, the liberal can didates for Stoke-upon-Treat; the Hon. Captain Moly wax, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, &a t; The Caarestaz briefly opened the proceedings, after which Mr. Graded addressed the misting. Gianeroim, on rising, was received with load and asitiaeons cheering. He proceeded to deal chiefly with Met history of the reform question during the present parlisme nt. The right how gentleman minutely criticised ,the details of the conservative Reform Bill of 1867; and in commenting upon the treadonnatiao which had been mad* in its provisions, he exceseeed his conviction that although the question had reached a position which in volved a greet popular triumph, it was not to be regarded as me of which we had completely taken leave. The memos originally produced by the Derby government was really one of retrogression, and all its provisions save one, manly, the pommel payment of rates, wen struck out. Nothing now remained of the identity of the bill, and as to this, it he should be a member of the new parliament among the meanies which he should deem sweetie' would be the relief of the aserly-enfrane.hisied class from this most needless and vexatious provision. Referring to the question of the state of Ireland, Mr. Gladstone proceeded to quote from a work by Mr. Maguire to show the elements of the strength of Fenianiam in America, and from a speech of the late Mr. Darcy Wiles calling on the statesmen of Gnat Britain to settle generously the social and soolesiestical I condition of Ireland on terms to satisfy the majority of the people. The right hon. gentleman, alluding to the Irish church, went on to say he was deeply convinced of the necessity of putting a stop to the system of a State establishment in Ireland. He continued :—But, on the other hand, in doing that, over and above the declaration that the life interests are to be respected, and that promietory rights are not to be invaded, I say it is a dictate alike of wis dom and of generosity that, keeping our end steadily in view, and never failing to march before it, we shall adopt the utmost possible measure of mildness in the means. Everything that equity and that reasonable indulgence could suggest without being inconsistent with the end in view, and that did not impair the efficacy of the measure, should, in my opinion, be favourably entertained. (Cheers.) That I may show what I mean, I will just refer to two points in which I know great interest baa been felt. I can give no guarantee as to what will be the ultimate judg ment of parliament ; but I may express my opinion on those points. In the first place, there are in the established church of Ireland a certain number of en downients which have been given by private persons, which have become public and national property, but which, nevertheless, were given by members of the church of Ireland for the purposes of the church of Ireland; just sea Wesleyan methodist might, if bethought fit, give his money for the purposes of Wesleyan methodism. My opinion is that thole, endowments, though technically they may have become portions you may say of the public and national property, ought to be carefully respected. In the same way a question arose with respect to the churches that are now possessed and used by the ministers and members of the Irish establishment, and to the parsonages which the clergy inhabit. My opinion, gentlemen. is, that the feeling of this country, apart from logic, never would endure that if those clergy and laity are disposed to con tinue the use of those parsonages and churches for public worship—never would endure that they should be taken away from them. I give these as samples. I must add one important illustration more, and that is, whatever principles of equity or tenderness you may think it wise to employ in winding up, if I may so speak, the affairs of the established church of Ireland. you mint apply those same principles of equity and tenderness to the other religious endowments of the country, in so far as from their scope and circumstances they come ,within the range of the principle. I have heard of some who think that vested rights are very sacred things if they are found within the limits of the establishment, but not so very sacred if they are found within the limits of the Roman catholic College of Maynooth. If there are persons here who hold that opinion I must respectfully differ from them. One and the same rule of equity and liberality must be applied to the whole ; forgive me if the word "must" has escaped from my mouth—l meant " ought" to be in my opinion applied to the whole. But you will naturally say there is more than this. After we have satisfied every fair and equitable claim there will be a residue of the ecclesiastical property of Ireland, a residue possibly reaching to a very considerable amount ; what are we to do with that ? I will state it to you, gentlemen, in another form. In my opinion that question cannot be conclusively answered by any one but those who shall be responsible ministers of the crown, and shall have an opportunity of examining'all the facts that bear upon the answer. But while I say that, I likewise add that the funds which shall have been taken from the church now established in Ireland—l mean thereeidue of funds after satisfying every just claim upon them—ought not to be applied to the teaching of religion in any other form whatever. (Cheers.) It will be our duty, should you return us to parliament— when I say us, you will forgive me for saying that I have in my mind and in my eye, several others gathered upon this platform besides Mr. Grenfell—those who are solicit ing the suffrages of this great borough, the gallant ofßeer who has been to contest Birkenhead—(cheers)—my friend Mr. Thompson, wbo is fighting one side of this county, towards the rising sun, that same battle which we are fighting who look the setting sun in the face ; and last, but not least, two other gentlemen, one of them a re spected inhabitant of this town, who are performing the same patriotic work in a great midland borough. But I earnestly hope, gentlemen, that the goodly company that I have endeavoured to describe and that is now gathered together in perfect harmony upon this platform, will not be dissociated one from the other by any accident on the hustings or the polling booth—(cheers)—but that we shall be found sitting upon the same benches, or upon benches very close together (cheers)—for the purpose of setting forward that grout work, one portion of which I have endeavoured to bring under your view. (A Votes—" And your son," and cheers.) I am much obliged to my friend in that quarter (pointing to the gallery) for reminding me that I have a very near and close paternal, as well as public interest, iu another election. likewise towards the riling sun on the other side of this county ; and I am very glad to think that there is any one within these walls to whom the return of my son to parliament is a matter of interest. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, there are a number of points connected with this question which I trust you will not think I have forgotten merely because I might have failed to notice them on the present occasion. What I am desirous most of all to do is to bring into the public view the broad facts con nected with the state of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The first business of the public men and the first business of the electors of a free country id to bind together the whole of the country in harmony and concord. (Hear.) That business baa not yet been effected, so far as Ireland is concerned. We call upon you, gentlemen, to give us the means, and to put us in the place where we may use our utmost endeavours to effect it. (Cheers.) It is not enough to revile us as enemies of the constitution in church and state, and foes of protestantism in disguise ; these are matters on which we are perfectly willing to enter in argument. We think we are the best friends of the constitution. We think that those are the best friends of proteatentism who wish that it should have justice and no more; and as to the constitution, when we are told that we are going to ruin it, let no bear in mind how many times it has been ruined and destroyed before. (Laughter.) It was destroyed—l will only take what has happened within my own recol lection—it was destroyed in 1828 by the repeal of the Corporation and Test Lets. It was destroyed again in 1829 by the admiedon of the Boman Whelks to pediment. It was destroyed • third thus by the Adam Act of 11122. It was destroyed the fourth time by the Repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. It Tres destroyed a fifth time by the repeal of the Navigation Laws in 1849. It was destroyed, gentlemen, if my memory does not fail me—but really it is difficult to re member, so many lives Lam thie &institution had and so sad ha. been its fate —it was destroyed a seventh time, when the Jews were admitted within the walls of parliament—(load cheers)—arid it was destroyed an eighth time when the government of Lord Rumen had the incredible audacity to propose a Reform Brill to parliament, with the intention of carrying it, or of dying in the attempt ; and therefore, gentlemen, this being so, it appears that our constitution resembles that animal which is said to have nine lives —(laughter)--but with this fortunate clistinc tion—wherais the cat, each time that :it loses one of its lives, gets a step nearer to dissolution— our constitution, on the other hand, each time that it is destroyed, comes forth more vigorous than ever from the promo, and promises to us all, with wee end more of hope and joy, the expectation of handing it down as a blaming to oar children. (Chem) Gentlemen, we ask you for your help in the efforts that we are to make ; we ask you in the name of the constitution not lees than in the sacred name of Judi*. We ask you to listen to the voice alike of policy and of prudence, and of generosity and of equity. Listen to that voice which has come to us from across the Atlantic, and give us your strong help to drive oar feeble arms, and enable us to go fearlessly forward in the career of truth and Judie.. The right bon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst great cheering, having spoken for an hour and three quarters. A vote of confidence in the two candidates wu subse quently adopted. PROPOSED VISIT OF MIL JOHN BRIGHT, M.P., To Entiraraimr.—lt is expected that Mr. John Bright, M.P., will be able to visit Edinburgh on an early day, to he presented with the freedom of the city, which the town council on Tuesday resolved to confer upon him, in recognition of his distinguished position as an orator and a statesman, and especially of his brilliant and suc cessful services in the promotion of free trade. The cere mony of presenting the burgle' ticket to Mr. Bright will take place in the Music-hall • but we understand that Mr. Bright has consented to address a public meeting of the citizens in the evening, and that the Circus in the Lothian. road has already been engaged for the meeting.— Satanism. MEETING OF TRADES' lINIONISTB.—Iost night a representative meeting of the trade societies of the metropolis was held at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, for the purpose of adopting such measures and taking such action as may secure the passing of a bill which will place trade societies on a footing of social equality with other associated bodies. The circular calling the meeting stated that it had become necessary "by reason of the insecure position in which the recent conflicting decisions of judges have placed trade societies." A large number of trades were represented at the meeting. The chair was taken by Mr. Spelling, of the Vellum Binders' Society. Among thew, present were Professor Beasley, Mr. Lloyd Jones, Mr. Crompton (barrister), Ac. Mr. Gado (ironfoundeni society), moved the first resolution. "That this meeting, composed of representatives of various societies in the metropolis, having fully considered the hill which has been prepared , for the pe of oh. taming legal protection for the funds of trade societies, and which was brought before parliament by Sir Fowell Buxton, is opinion that it is sufficient for every legitimate purpose, and should receive the support of every well-meaning member of the House of Commons." Mr. W. Allen (engineers' society) seconded the resolution, which was spoken to by Mr. Applegarth (c(c arpenters' socaety ) and Mr. George Potter (joiners' society). Mr. Lloyd Jones and Profess:ie. Beasley 11k0 took part in the long discussion which took place. Mr. Odger suggested that the meeting should be adjourned; that the bill should be improved if possible, but not abandoned. The consideration of the question was then adjourned. GLASGOW AND ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES.—The following has been given as the Glasgow University re gister:—On register previous to passing of the Beforn Act, 848; added since, M.A.'s, 334; M.D,'s, &c., 4;0; students who attended four years prior to 1851, 551 ; from commissioner's roll , 157 ; total constituency. 2,384.1. There is no foundation fur the rumour that Mr. bionereiff is looking elsewhere for • scat in parliament; on the con trary, his committee feel certain of his being returned. BrTCTIERB' CHARITABLE INSITTITTION.— The fortieth anniversary dinner of the members and subscri bers to this institution was given at the London Tavern yesterday. Mr. B. Venables, of Newgate-market, pre sided, supported by Alderman Sir B. Phillips, Mr. C. J. Jenkinson, Master of the Worshipful Compauy of Butchers; Mr. Bannister, Deputy-master and Treasurer of this institution ; Mr. F. Prentice, Mr. F. Co:. Mr. S. Hill, &c. The company, which numbered more than two hundred, comprised the leading members of the trade. From the annual report it appeared that the income of the society during the past year was upwards of 2,5001., of which 1,4041/. was from subscrip tions, 870 f. from donations, and the remainder from divi dends of stock invested, and that there are 102 pensinn'rs ou the fund at the present time, of whom 42 are males and CA arc females. The chairman made a feeling and urgent appeal to the company to give their support to the institution, and he was ably seconded by Sir R. Bhillips, who said the institution might proudly and honourably vie with other institutions of a kindred character iu the metropolis. The list of subscriptions announced in the course of the evening amounted to upwards of 0001., in cluding 62/. 10s. from the chairman. DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.—Yesterday, Mr. Humphreys. coroner, held an in quest at the Fountain Tavern, Baldwin-street, St. Luke 's, respecting the death of Mary Ann Crawley, aged 30 years, who died from star vation. The deceased was a needlewoman. On last Saturday morning a police-constable found her dying on a doorstep in Oolden-lane, St. Luke's. She said that she was destitute and ill ; that she bad been out of work for a. long time, and that she had no home. She had applied for a bed at a common lodging-house, but she was told that unless she had 4d. she could not get one. She then wandered about the streets. Some person gave her 3id., but the lodging-house people refused to take less than 4d. She then sat down on the door-step where she was found by the policeman. He removed her to the station houre, where Dr. Yarrow saw her, and he ordered her instant removal to the workhouse. On Sunday she died in it. Dr. Yarrow said that her death was caused by in flammation of the lungs, brought on by want of food and exposure to the cold. She was very emaciated. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from want of food and ex posure to the cold." STRANOIC 00CURRILVCF.8 ON THE UNDERGROUND RLILWAY.—At the Portland-road station last evening, as the 4.46 train from Hammersmith was leaving it, • young man who was under the influence of liquor rushed at • third class carriage door and opened it. He was pulled along the platform, and before be could let go his hold he was dragged into the tunnel. As the train was passing along the porters on the platform signalled to the driver to stop, which ho did. The man was then found lyiug between the carriages and the wall of the tunnel. He had received only slight injuries. When the 6.38 train from Hammersmith was entering the Eilgware-roed sta tion, a man who had been quietly seated on the platform suddenly jumped up and leaped iu front of the engine. His limbs were frightfully crushed. Ho was removed to the hospital. There is no doubt that it was his intention to commit suicide when be leaped in front of the train. COMMITTAL OF PR IZEFIO I ITERS AT NOTT ING lt AM. —At the Shiro-hall, Nottingham, yesterday, two men, named James M.Nare,, and John, alias " homy,' Flint, were brought before the sitting magistrates, charged with being engaged in a prizefight on Monday morning. From the evidence adduced it appeared that early in the morn ing of the 6th inst. the pneuners were seen fighting in a lonely Place mar Thorney-wood-lane, about two miles from Nottingham, by two police-officers. Upon awing the policemen, prisoners, with their supporters, de camped, and some time afterwards were diseovered fight ing in another locality. This time the officers succeeded in capturing IPNaru, after some resistance, and Flint was apprehended in Nottingham shortly afterwards. The depoeitiona having been road over, the bench committed them for trial. SOUTIIAMPTON, OCT. 14.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ceylon, Captain Evans, with the heavy portion of the Bombay mails, arrived this evening with 29 passengers, 13 packages specie, value 4,234 f., and a general cargo. 11.

The great meteor which was seen from mans parts of England on the night of October 7 appear* to have fallen to the ground in France. The accounts which have been received are not suf ficiently definite to enable mathematicians to assign the actual path of the meteor through the atmosphere. It n well that persons who ()heave phenomena of this sort should be aware that the mere statement that a meteor appeared towards such and such a point of the compass, and travelled in such and such a direction, is practically useless to those who are desirous of computing the real path of the object. The only sort of statement which has any practical value is one which mentions the apparent path of the meteor among the fixed dam. , Unfortunately a knowledge of the names of the principal fixed stars, though very easily acquired, t is a comparatively rare accomplishment. Hence it is that although many meteors have been observed during the last few years, we do not remember more than one instance in which the path of the meteor, as seen from different places, has been recorded with sufficient exactitude to enable mathematicians to assign the real path of the meteor through the upper regions of our atmo sphere. We refer to the meteor of April 29, 1866, which was observed simultaneously by Mr. Baran dell at Manchester, and by Mr. Wood at Weston super-Mare. From the careful accounts of these two practised observers Mr. Alex. Herschel was enabled to ascertain the following interesting facto respecting this meteor :—First, the meteor appeared, when at a height of fifty-two miles, ver tically over the town of Lichfield ; secondly, it disappeared when at a height of thirty-seven miles over Oxford; thirdly, it travelled at the rate of about twenty miles per second. We are particular in calling attention to the necessity of carefully recording the apparent paths of these bodies, because the present month is one in which large meteors may be expected. There is a tolerably regular recurrence of star-falls each year between the 15th and the 23rd of October. From these dates it will be seen that the meteor of Oc tober 7 wasnot a regular member of the October and meteor-system. But it is a noteworthy circum stance that many of the most remarkable meteors have appeared a day or two before or a day or two after the recognised dates of shooting-star dis plays. For example, there is a shower usually on April 9-10, and two of the asteroids which have fallen in England came in the first week in April, and in 1800 a mass of iron 70 cubic feet in volume fell in America on April 5. We may also perhaps associate with the same shooting-star system the shower of sand which fell for fifteen hours into the Atlantic on April 6, 1719. Again, following the date of the shooting-star system, we have the great meteor referred to above, and the remarkable aste roid which burst over L'Aigle, in Normandy, on April 26, 1803. In a similar manner the shooting star system of November 13-14 seems to be connected with the great meteors which have been known to fall on November 10-12. Of the 20 aerolitee which have fallen in the British Isles, no less than four fell on August 4-9 ; and our readers will scarcely need to be reminded that the date assigned to the celebrated August shooting-stars (the " tears of St. Lawrence," as they used to be called) is August 10-11:. The star-fall of October 15-23 is likely to in elude many conspicuous meteors, and those who have the time would do a useful service to meteoric astronomy by watching for these objects, and carefully recording their paths on the celestial sphere. In general it is only necessary to note the place of appearance, the place of dis appearance, and the time of flight ; but, of course, if the meteor pursue a contorted path, as occasion ally happens, an attempt should be made to re cord the nature of its movements more exactly. The observer should at least know the leading stars (not necessarily by their names or letters), and he will be all the better able to describe the exact path of the meteor if he knows the smaller stars—say down to the third or fourth magnitude. If two observers, at a sufficient distance from each other, describe in this way the apparent path of a meteor, it becomes merely a quemtion of calcula tion to determine its true path. The opinion is very commonly entertained that, except the meteors which are actually seen to reach the ground, all meteoric bodies pass out of our atmosphere after penetrating a certain distance within it. We have noticed, even in works by eminent astronomers, the assertion that meteors become visible through the heat generated as they graze the confines of our atmosphere. But, in reality, very few of the meteors which make their appearance in the upper regions of the air ever pass away again into the interplanetary spaces. Of course it is possible that a meteor may encounter our atmosphere in such a direction as to pass through a portion of the upper regions of air, and so out into space. But if we picture to our e:4ves the earth sweeping onward through space, and encountering in its flight numbers of the minute bodies which as we now know tenant the interplanetary regions, and if we remember that the earth's atmospheric envelope is very thin in comparison with the dimensions of the terres trial globe, we shall see at once that by far the larger number of the bodies she encounters must penetrate her atmosphere in a direction which would bring them actually to her surface. And that this is so is evidenced in another way. It has been shown by several series of careful observa tions that meteors and shooting stars appear when at a vertical height exceeding by some twenty miles that which they have at the moment of dis appearance. We see then that the visible part of their course has brought them through a depth of twenty miles of the earth's atmospheric envelope, and though this might happen in the case of grazing contact yet it is very clear that in that event we ought to see the meteor until it had passed to the same height from the earth as it had at the moment of first appearance. And, further, it has been proved to demonstration that the actual paths followed by the shooting stars which appeared so freely on the morning of November 14, 1866, were such as should have brought these objects into contact with the earth. It may be asked, then, what becomes of these bodies L The answer supplies a beautiful instance of the adaptation of our atmosphere to sub serve a vanety of purposes other than thoao which we are in the habit of assigning to it. The meteors and shooting stars which are continually pounding away at the earth from out the interplanetary spaces are dissipated by our atmosphere before they can penetrate to the sur face of the earth. None but the heaviest and largest asteroids ever succeed in reaching the earth in a solid form, and even these usually burst into fragments while still at a great distance from us. All the rest are first ignited in the upper regions of air, then thoroughly consumed in their 'outage through the next layers ; and lastly, they fall to the earth's surface in the form of an impal pable powder. We believe that Dr. Reiehenbach was the first to point out that this powder may be detected. Ile collected dust from the top of a high mountain, which had never been touched by spade or pick axe ; and he found this dust to consist of the ve elements which compose meteoric atonee--e • t 7 cobalt, iron, phosphorus, dm Dr. Pbi - -oaks% notes that, " when a glass, covered wi'• dnion also cerine, is exposed to a strong vie A • Pule CY vemo..ber, it receives a certain no .particles which can Amber of black an - ETeiToehlorie acid, andyr Ai dissolved in st rong iron upon the gum _ .oduce yellow chloride of Pinto."
