THE REFORM PROCEEDINGS IN IRELAND.—The , reform conference in Dublin on Monday was conducted in private. The O'Donogline, M.P., as President of the Irish Reform League, took the chair, sad stated that as , the meeting was only for a conversation and conference amongst those who were friendly to the extension of the' franchise and the protection of the ballot, and to decide on the best course of action in future with respect to those questions, it would be en unusual thing to have their pro- ceedings made public. At the lecture that evening, and at the public meeting on the following evening, there would be ample opportunity for full and free discussion. In the evening a lecture was delivered by Mr. Ernest Jones in the round room of the Rotund° on " Political Liberty, and why it is Deeded." The proc eedings: were in tended to commence at eight o'clock, but, in consequence of the room being less than ball fi lled at that hour, a delay took place until half-past eight, when the numbers in at tendance had considerably increased, but still a large por tion of the room was unoccupied. The chair was then taken by The O'Donoghue, M.P., and &won't those on the platform were Mr. Ernest Jones Mr. Bodes, Alderman Carter, of Leeds ; and other members of the Reform League, including a deputation from the Glasgow branch ; Mr. Molony, European Hotel; and several Roman catholicclergy. men. The chairman having briefly introduced the lecturer, Mr. Jones came forward, amidst applause, and delivered a long and eloquent speech, which concluded by calling upon the frishL7+ile to join heart and hand with the English ' Reform e against their common oppressor, the aristocracy o the kingdom. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Jones. Mr. Reales, on being loudly called for, came forward to add ress the meeting amid ap plause. He pointed out what had been accomp lished by reformers for the people of England I within the last three years, and said he could tell them there was nothing they, the people of Boland, could justly claim that they could not obtain If they were united. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He did not appear as a partisan but as a friend of the people of England, who had fovght their battle ; and as a man to fight the battle of the people of Ireland, if they would. He would claim for them nothing I but what they were entitled to claim. He was there to know what they did claim, so that 'be could tell the , people of England what they wanted. (A Voice: Re üblicanisisan," and cheers.) Mr. Jones then came f to acknowledge the vote of thanks accorded to him. He said he might be permitted to tell the meeting that he had been a sufferer for the Irish cause. He had been two years in a felon's cell for the Irish arse—(tremendons cheering)—for a speech he delivered in 1848, in which the British government thought that be showed too much sympathy for thaw who were then suffering for Ireland. (Renewed sheering). He could only say that he should, as a humble wan, endeavour to pur sue the same course in the future as in the past—(hear, hear)—and, as be fondly anticipated he should have the , honour of being in the next parliament , he should be ' proud, in all matters 'deo int Ireland, to place himself ' under the guidance of their worthy chairman. tApplause.) A cordial vote of thanks was passed to The O'Doncalsue for his conduct in the chair. The ODonoghue acknow lodged the compliment, after which the meeting *operated. FAREWELL RITUAL SERVICES AT KILBURN.— For some time peat the church of St. Mazy, Kilburn, has been noted for its advanced ritual. The late incumbent was for several months previously to Isla decease incapa citated from duty by ill health, and had appointed curmes who carried out to • great extent the ritual in use at St. Alban's and other churches of the same kind. On his death the patron, General the Hon. A. Upton, appointed a clergyman of another school, and the new incumbent at once gave it to be understood that he should discontinue the mode of conducting the services which had been adopted by his predecessors, In consequence of thischange it was determined to bold the usual harvest thanksgiving services early in the season, and to make them the closing services under the ritualist regirae.They were held on Sunday. The altar was decorated with flowers, and at the Coin minion Service incense was used. In the evening Bishop Twells, of the Orange River Free State, was the preacher. He sat in • chair on the north side of the altar, and beside the usual episcopal robes he wore his university , hood and • richly-decorated stole. He carried in his hand a pastoral staff, and was preceded by three crucifers, each bearing • large brazen processional cross. During the sermon the chief curate stood on the step next below the pulpit and held the bishops staff, while on the lower step stood one of the crucifers holding • cross. The bishop ex horted the parishioners to continue their attendance in that church, to offer their services to their new pastor, to bear whatever changes he might see Lt to make with the charity that hoped' all things, endureth all things. He dwelt much upon the necessity of personal self-sacrifice, and intimated that the time was come when there must be a return to the old system of orders in which the clergy would live together and have all things in common, suffering no super fluous luxury. At the close of the sermon Bishop Twill's administered the blessing, holding his pastoral staff in his band. Subsequently the Te Deum was sung, the bishop, the clergy, and the crucifers kneeling down before the altar during the intercessory portion of that hymn. A DANGEROUS Faase. —The workmen who are I repairing the tower of }farrow church were lately sur primd and alarmed by hearing one of the bells ring. They at once went up to the belfry, but could not see nor hear any one. After the lapse of about an hour they heard the song, " 0 ! Kafoosle um" proceeding from the middle of the interior of the leaden spire, and one of them ventured up the beams, as far as he dared, and there beheld • man high up the steeple, whom be in vain persuaded to come down. Al ter another hour the man groaned, as if in great agony, and said that he wanted • saw and a screw driver, es be was fixed fast between the beams. A consultation took place, and it was resolved to send for a carpenter. The workman duly arrived and went up part of the way I with the necessary tools, but was afraid to proceed high enough. At this juncture Dr. Butler's coachman volun teered to go up, and a saw and chisel were tied round him. When he had reached the man he found him capering about, and said to him, " Hello governor, shall I assist you?" The reply was, "No; and if you don't he off down will kick you down." The coachman dropped his tools and escaped as quickly as possible, believing the man to be a lunatic, for he had stripped himself of his clothes. It was found that be had made • hole through the lead and thrust through some of his garments, horrifying the epee- tutors, who fancied he was going to throw himself down. The police were then called and were requested, in the name of the churchwarden', to rescue the man. This they accomplished after the delinquent bad occupied the steeple, creating the most intense sensation and anxiety, for nearly five hours. It was found that he had been drinking for several days. lie was found to be a journey man bellhanger. THE LAND TAX IN EUROPE. —The land tax in the following countries produces somewhere about the followine proportion of the total revenue :—ln Sweden per cent„ in Austria 22.9 per cent. in Italy 20.3 per cent, in Spain 18.2 per cent. , in Holland 13.8 per cent., in Belgium 13.3 per cent., i n Bavaria 12 per cent., in Russia 11 per cent., in France 10.5 per cent., in Portugal 9.3 per cent, in Prussia 8.4 per cent. on Great Britain 4.3 per cent. These figures provoke the question, whence come these large differences between one country and another? Chance cannot enter into the calculation, but it is im possible to embrace within one view the thousand causes which have produced such a diversity.—Chroniele.

Initiatory steps were taken yesterday by prominent gen- I tlemen of this city, interested in the welfare of the labour ing classes towards the holding of a grand industrial exit!.

They propose to inaugurate a new system in the projected exhibition, by which the me ebonies and inventors will be enabled to exhibit the pro ducts of their ingenuity and industry, instead of the capi talists and proprietors who have heretofore been allowed the main chance as exhibitors. Ten thousand circulars, I requesting the cooperation of journeymen mechanics throughout the Union were ordered to be printed.— Rem York Herald, August 23. THE Jaws IN Mokocco.—A letter from Tetuan gives some particulars re'pecttng the assassination of three Jews by Moors in the vicinity of that town since the 20th of May last. The writer complains of the supineness of the Moorish authorities, who do not, indeed, appear to have afforded that equal justice end protection to all the Sultan's subjects, Mahornedans as well as Jews, which the Sultan promised to Sir Moses Montefiore, on the occasion of the latter's humane mission to Morocco some years ago, should be given in Mo rocco. We fear the Sultan's edict, like similar edicts of the Sultan of Turkey, commanding the equal treatment of his Christian and Mahomedan subjects, flails a barrier to its practical execution in the fanaticism of the Mahomedan mind which cannot at all take in the idea of equality be tween the followers of the Prophet and those who profess any other religion. Although the Jewish subjects of the Sultan have no right to invoke foreign aid, we believe that the friendly influence of the foreign representatives in Morocco has always been exerted to protect them from in justice, and this we fear is the only protection they have to look to against the harshness or partiality of their Mahomedan rulees.—Gibraltrie Chronicle, August. 21.

A legend on the borough seal makes Dundee Donna Dei—a gift of God. A more probable derivation tams it to " dun," a hill or fort, and Tay, the river to which Dundee owes all its importance. Its claim to be considered "bonnie" goes back to a very early date, since even the Celts designated it miller—pleasant. Pleasant it is, and pleasant it must h►ve been when, standing on the hill now covered with factories, the eye could take in the whole of the country from here to Perth. On the one side are the rounded hills of Fife. Between Dundee and Perth the Tay describes a graceful curve, almost a semicircle. The distance is some twenty miles, and between the northern side—the convex bend of the stream—and the foot of the hills that tun in a line from the city of Perth, hes the renowned Carse of Gowrie. It is but a small country—a piece of rich alluvial land, made by the river, and nowhere app►rently more than five miles I broad. The praise of its fertility who has not heard' The whole forms a crescent, with Perth at one horn and Dundee at the other. English visitors to the association who an for the picturesque will no doubt take the longer roufgvia Stirling, and thus enter the " Cane of Gowrie" eSPWIIIt AM the Hass Tam* north, airt, sad waft run from Perth. A few miles below Perth on the way to Dundee are the famous Stormontfield breeding ponds for salmon. The district in which Dundee and Perth stands is one of the least Anglicised of the Lowland Scottish. Very few towns owe more to the energy of its people than Dundee. It is the Glasgow of the east of Scotland. Both es a seaport and as a manufacturing town its im portals*. is increasing rapidly. Here, as nearly every where in Scotland, even to the villages, the " fiat" system prevails. This gives Dundee a better show of street architesture than many English towns of the same size. But i* coops up ninety thousand inhabitants within narrower limits than would be allowed them on the south of the Tweed. One seldom finds an English man who likes the system, and rarely a Scots man who will not contend that it is the best and the only one to house the people of Scotland at all. The flax and jute works in Dundee are of great size. It is quite a curiosity to see 4,500 to 5,000 workpeople leave the mills of Baxter Brothers and Co. Sir David Baxter, the uncle of the hon. M.P., is the represents tive of the firm. He is known, and deserves to be, throughout the kingdom as the donor of a handsome park to the ancient burgh. For the last fifteen years the use of jute in the manufacture of yarns, carpets, sackings, and the like has been rapidly extending, till this mere Indian grass has become the most important staple of one of the largest industries in the kingdom. The American war gave an impetus to Dundee as it did to Belfast, which will surprise many of its scientific visitors The "meting of the association promises to be a vet/ interesting one to thegeneral public. The Duke of Beti o:dew* is to deliver the inaugural address on Wednesday evening in the Kinnaird-hall. The next evening Professor Tyndall will lecture to working men on " Matter and Fore@ ;" and on Friday evening Mr. Geikie is to lecture on " The geological origin of the present scenery of Scot land." The following are the sections, with ►heir presi dents: A.—Mathematical and Physical Science : Professor Sir W. Thomson. B.—Chemical Science : Professor Thomas Anderson. C.—Otology : Mr. Archibald Geikio. D.—Biology : Professor Sharpey. B.—Geography and Ethnology: /Br Samuel Baker. F.—lnonomic Science and Statistics ; Mr. Grant Duff, M.P. G.—Meckanical Science : Mr. Macquom Rankine. The grand banquet is to be given in the Albert Insti tute. The building is a handsome memorial of the Prince Consort. The architect is Mr. Gilbert Scott. When com pleted it will comprise a public hall, a free library, and • picture gallery. The entrance to the hall, which is the upper part of the building, is by • very ornamental stair case, ascended by two opposite fl hta of steps. These form • circle, and give the building a very imposing appearance. _ _ • Amusement and science are to go hand In hand. While the association site at Dundee, a Chess Conference is to be held at Perth. This conference assembles to-morrow (Tuesday). A floral fete at Baxter•park, several excursions, an artistic and industrial exhibition, and concerts make np the bill of entertainment provided for the Admirable Crichton who come to Dundee to compare notes. The list of expected guests includes nearly all the Scottish and English notabilities in science. No doubt they will be able to report progress. We must give their names to-morrow. SIR DANIEL GOOCH, M.P., ON BENEFIT Bourn- Deniel Gooch, M.P., presided at the annual dinner of the Foresters' court at New Swindon. This society, which comprise, several hundreds, is composed almost entirely of working men connected with the Great Western Company's locomotive works at Swindon. The hon. baronet who commenced life as a working man (a fact to which he had belore alluded, in responding to the toast of his health ) said as one of the members oft he royal com mission appointed to inquire into the system of trades' unions, be had had to turn his attention very particularly to the effects of these upon society and the working classes; and he was only too pleased to know that the societies con stituting the two orders of Foresters and Odd Fellows had solely in view the benefit of the sick and needy. Their order —the Foresters—was a powerful one, boasting of over 300,000 members, and having a fund of upwards of a mil lion of money. And so well was it constricted, and so beneficial were the results, that anything that be could do to further its interests he felt it • pleasure to give. The revelations that had been made before the royal commis sion respecting the outrages committed at Sheffield were not, as it would appear, confined to Sheffield. Scarcely lees criminal or mysterious were those relating to the neighbourhood of Manchester. In fact, it seemed to be part of • system. Men, for instance, had come forward—men holding influential positions in trades' unions —and stated before the commission that it was 'non stroua that one 111‘11 should be paid better than another ; that intelligence, skill, industry, should go for nothing; and that the levelling system should prevail which made every man alike, whether deserving or undeserving. He was quite sure that no one in the company would maintain any such doctrine. What was the great charm of England? It was this, that any man, no matter what or who he was, by industry, perseverance, and merit, might rise to the highest station in the land. Could that be done by any ' levelling system? He hoped the working classes would look upon this matter as of far more importance to this country than even the question of reform, for it had to deal both with them and with the capitalists—the levers of trade. POOR CLERGY RELIEF SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held yesterday afternoon, at the offices, Southampton-street, Strand ; the Rev. J. E. Cox in the chair. The secretary read letters from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Bishop Chapman, Bishop Anderson. Mr. Long, M.P., Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, and others, regretting their inability to attend. The committee, in their tenth annual report, &aimed/Aged • steady increase of support, and stated that they bad largely mul tiplied their grants. They had had to investigate a large number of cases, and they could confidently affirm that • more painful catalogue of went and worth had seldom attracted the notice or challenged the scrutiny of the friends of any charity. At the present time there was but little hope of any diminution in the number of appli. cants or the urgency of their claims; and friends and supporters must be looked for in increasing measure if the wants of the clergy were to be met with a liberality pro portioned to their greatness. The number of cases relieved had been 1,652. The Wesleyan of Exeter held their annual Sun day-school meeting on Monday evening in the Ring - street School-room, • handsome new building. About 600 per sons were present. Tho proceedings terminated at 9.30, and before the hat person bad left the room one of the gas pendant., 20 feet long. and weighing at least a hun• dredweight, hanging from the transverse beam of the open roof, fell with a tremendous crash upon the seats which, • few minutes before, were filled with people. BRITISH EXPORTS FROM LlVERPOOL.—Acoording to statistics published in Liverpool, the total value of British goods exported from the town during the month of July last was 6,857,776/. against 6,811,7 631 . for same month last year. The declared value of exports from Liverpool to the United States during July was 1,555,4Z11., • decrease as compared with July, 1866, of 32(.184/. The exports to the Australian colonies have also decreased to the extent of 11,2091., the exports during July last being valued at 120,4611., and those during July of 1866, at 134.7201.

[StAMPXD, I& GRIEVANCES OF FOREIGN REFRESHMENT CON TRACTWIS AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION. The English, American, Prussian, and Russian buffet-keepers h►ve addres,ed to its a long statement of their grievances. They say to deprive them of the power of seating their customers is equivalent to depriving them of their business; that they had been induced to rent space solely by the promise that they should have such power afforded them, and that they had gone to a great expense in order to avail themselves of the concessions allotted to them ; and that ➢l. Bernard, the contractor for furnishing chair', had never supposed that he had any right to inter fere with them till the comparative failure of his own spe cul►tion caused him more carefully to scrutinise the terms of his contract. They state that their chairs had been seised, and that the French government and the French courts of law had hitherto refused them any redress. They conclude as follows : " The French restaurateur' declare that the Imperial Commission direct promised them the right now in dispute: the English declare that the British Commission promised them the same, and so on to the end of the chapter. All nations assert that the Imperial Commission now denies what it formerly promised. Having got • high rent for their building, they have got all they want, and ewe re sore foe their—grear we tar Or -yobbo. The whole thing has been turned into • speculatko.

What will be the end of the chair question we know not. Law proceedings will take time, and long before they are de cided the Exhibition will hare closed. We have thought that the above true statement of facts might interest your readers. It will show how we have been treated by the Imperial Commission, and it might to be a caution to ' all future exhibitors not to rely upon flattering promises merely, made to ensnare them : they will do well in all their transactions to have everything down in black and white, and on papier timbre."

Many representatives of metropolitan volunteer regiments have left London to take part in the All Corners Enfield Volunteer rifle meeting, which is being held at the rifle butts near Hastings. In the first compe tition at 300 and 500 yards. 5 shots, 301. in five prizes are offered; and in the second contest, at 600 yards, a similar warn in sin prizes. Pool firing at 200 yards is also pro vided. The annual meeting of the Border Rifle Associa tion commences this morning, when prizes, value 1501., will be shot for at Melrose. Oa Monday evening the recently-organised New castle Working Men's Constitutional Association held • converearione and public meeting in the Musk Hall, Neleon-street. The Duke of Northumberland had been announced to take the chair, but in consequence of the decease of his father, Lord Revenrsorth, as president of the association, presided. During the evening the chair man read a bitter just received from the Duke of North umberland, expressive of sympathy with the objects of the association. On Monday afternoon a shocking circumstance occurred in Stamford-street, Blsokfriara. Two brothers, aged sixteen and ten, were quarrelling while walking along, and the elder s truck the younger so violently that he reeled and fell into the roadway almost immediately under a Hansom cab, the wheel of which passed over his neck. The lad was conveyed to Guy's Hospital in a dying condition, while the brother, whose momentary burst of passion had caused the accident, appeared petnfied with horror, and was totally unable to answer any questions put to him. . . . —A labourer, named Martin, was buried alive on Saturday, in Navarino-roed, Dalston. He and another man were making a tunnel under a footpath, and mis. taking the measurements, he carried his work eight feet too far. The soil was sandy, and there being no shoring used, the earth fell in, and Martin was dead before he could be dug out. The other man escaped. Martin was 73 years old. 7.)MNIBUS ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning a gentleman, who name could not be ascertained, mounted an omnibus in Cheapeide to proceed to the Charing-cress station of the South Eastern Railway, but when the vehicle reached St. Clement's Church he told the con ductor to stop the omnibus. As he was in the act of get ting down from the outside the horses went on. The re sult was that the gentleman was thrown with great violence to the ground, falling upon his head. Re was immediately picked up and conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured. No hopes are entertained of his recovery. ScuLLultie RACE ON THE THAMES FOB £2OO. — The race between Kilsby and Pedgrift for 2001. was rowed again on the Thames yesterday. The officials were the same as on the previous day. The men came away together and so rowed to Simmonds's where Pad gift shot slightly to the front, and then a despe rate and determined race commenced, which was well maintained and protracted up to the Crab Tree, where Pedgrift's pilot took him too close to his man and their mulls touched in • hardly perceptible manner. MIA, stopped and Pedgrift went on, finishing 200 yards ahead. The stakes were awarded to Kilaby on the foul. Time, 26 min. 2 sec. A vast amount of money changed hands on the result. _ _ •---. THE HOP PLANTATION.—ROCHESTER, SEPT. 3. —During the past fortnight the weather has been exceed- ingly favourable to the growth of the hops, which in all the grounds continue to improve, the late warm days and nights having proved very beneficial to the plants. The plants, generally, are clean and free from vermin, with no appearance of mould. Consequent on the improvement in the hops the market continues very quiet, with prices about the same as before. RAILWAY CAPITAL—The growth of the capital invested in railways in the United Kingdom has expe rienced a very great increase daring the last 13 year'. In 1832 this capital stood at 264,185,6724 ; in 1853 at 273,324,5141. ; in l&Ri at 286,068,794/. ; in 1855 at 297,584,7091. ; In 1856 at 307,59%1,0861. ; is 1801 at 315,157,2581. ; in 1858 at 325,375,5071. ; in 1859 at 334,362,9281. ; in 1660 at 348,130,1271. ; to 1861 at 362,327,338/. ; in 1862 at 385,218,4381. ; in 1863 at 404,215,802/. ; in 1854 at 425,719,6131. ; and in 1865 at 455,478,143/. It will be observed that between 1852 and 1862 the avenge titaness of railway capital only averaged 11,000,0001. or 12,000,0001. per annum ; while in 1863 it was 18,997,364/. ; in 1864 21,503,8111. ; and in 1865 29,758,530/. It is this tendency to exaggerated railway investment which induced the troubles which afflicted the railway interest last year, and which still continue to some extent, the growth of capital accounts having outstripped the progress of traffic receipts. Nevertheless she railway revenue of the kingdom displays a constant tendency to increase, having amounted in 1852 to 15,710,.5541; in 1853 to 18,035,879/. ; in 1854 to 20,215,7241.; in 18..15 to 21.507,5991.; in 1656 to 23,185,4911.; is 1857 to 24,174,6101.; in 1854 to 23,9603,7491.; in 1859 to 25,743,5021.; in 1860 to 27,766,6221.; in 1861 to 28.565,3551.; in 1862 to 29,128,538/.; in 1 863 to 31,156,397/. ; in 1864 to 33,911,517/; and in 1865 to 35,751,655 f. EXPLOSION AT THE CHALONS CAMP.—A melan choly disaster has just occurred at the camp of Chalons from the explosion of the powder magazine of the first division. General Ladmirault, on leaving for Lille, had gives orders for the loose cartridges of some of the troops to be handed over to the artillery, but the latter declined to receive them unless made up in packets. Some men were in oonsequence ordered three days back to prepare them as desired, and while thus engaged the building blew up, killing Captain Riviere, of the 57th, a corporal and a sapper of the same regiment, and a corporal and four sappers of the 74th. Another soldier was so terrified by the accident that he entirely lost his reason. The un fortunate men were blown to pieces by the explosion, and were picked up in fragments around. A remarkable fact L that the tent occupied by the guard of the magazine re mained standing, and fire men by whom it was occupied escaped unhurt. Three ammunition wagons waiting hard by were also preserved, with the horses and drivers. The catastrophe is believed to have been caused by one of the men treading on a percussion cap, which in detonating set fire to mine loose powder spilt on the ground. DESPATCH or AMERICAN MAILS.—SOCTHAMP- Toe, Serr. 3.—The North German Lloyd steamship Deutochbuid, Captain Wessels, sailed hence this afternoon for New York, with a full complement of cabin and steer age Passenger*, and a large cargo, including French jewel lery from Hans, value IUB,OOO franca. SOUTHAMPTON, Sam 3. —The Hamburg and American Company's steamship Hammonia, from New York, has arrived here with 107 passengers for this port, Havre, and Hamburg, 5.000 do's, in specie for London, and 11,200 dolt. for Hamburg. triVOPENCE THE PROPOSED REFORM PETE AND BANQUET. A general meeting of the London Working Men's Association was held last evening at the association rooms, Holt-court, Fleet-street, in reference to the forthcoming fete and banquet at the Crystal Palace, on the 30th instant. Mr. Guinan Porryi occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the first business of the meeting was to confirm the action taken by certain members of the association, in conjunction with the delegates from the trades and other societies in promoting the proposed reform fete and banquet. Mr. Bracy then moved " That this association endorse the action taken by several members of the association, in conjunction with the delegates from the societies of working men who took part in the reform demonstration of December 1866, in promoting the reform fete and banquet at the Crystal Palace on the 30th inst., and empower the committee to announce the fete as under the au of the Working Men's Association." rrVicas seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted. The SZCIIITAIIT OM read the following letters from Earl Russell and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, ILP. : " Pembroke-lodge, Ricbmond•park, Aug. 31,18b7. " beg you will thank the committee, in my name, lord oing me the honour of inviting me to the re form fete and banquet on the 30th of September. As, however, I expect to las in Ireland at that time, it will be cost of m 7 s ower to the invitation. It would not ea thall fa the dark" may produce to be a fit and endows antic companion for those who might wish to cele brate the passing of the Reform Bill of 1867. Other measures, unconnected with reform of parliament, appear to me to be necessary to ensure the future of this country. Among those mama are to be mentioned, in my opinion, a general, sound, unsecisrian education of the people, the abolition of church rates, and a redress of grievances both in regard to the militias of landlord and tenant, and of the maintenance of the church of the minority, of which the Irish, as a nation, justly complain. Upon all these measures the present government will. I conceive, use the influence they have acquired to resist and suppress those remedial measures which in my judgment are absolutely essential for the future welfare and honour of the United Kingdom. I beg you will sub mit this letter to the committee, and remain, your obliged and faithful servant, "Roses.[. " To the Secretary of the Reform Fete Committee." The letter from Mr. Gladstone was dated from Hector den, Chester, August 27: and after referring to his at tentions* at the proposed banquet, about which negotia tion are still pending, goes on to say It appears to me that such a celebration as your com mittee propose is amply justified by the great extension of the franchise which has been given by the act, and that it will tend to create an enhanced sense of the duty which it imposes, as well as the powers and privileges it confers. Of course your satisfaction would have been more com plete, bad some other parts of the subject, and especially the redistribution of sesta, bees treated in the same com prehensive manner as the borough suffrage, and had the enfranchisement in boroughs not been connected with provisions so inconvenient and irrational with respect to the payment of rates through the owner.-1 have the honour to be, sir yours faithfully, W. R. GLAIMTONZ." Mr. PACKILE then moved, and Mr. THOMAS seconded the following soolutiou, which was carried :—" That this association recommend the establishment of a fund to be called the Parliamentary Working Man's Election Fund, to be devoted to paying the legitimate expenses and pro moting the return of working men to the reformed par liament, as the representatives of labour, and thrt.the committee be instructed to prepare a plan for working out such proposition, end submit the same to a general meeting of members for approval," The meeting then closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and the reform fete committee. NATIONAL TEMPERANCE LEAGUE. The usual annual fete and concert of the Band of Hope Union, and other societies connected with the temperance end total abstinenoe movement, took place yesterday at the Crystal Palace. The attendance was immense, the central transept and the nave and aide aisles for • considerable distance on either side being crowded I almost to excess. The appearance of the great Handel °reheat:a, in which were animated nearly 5,000 chil dren from various charity and other schools who are members of the union, was singularly pretty and pic turesque. The front row was composed chiefly of girls dressed in white, and wearing pink, blue, or red sashes and breast knots, and each displaying the temperance medal on her bosom. Behind, back to the walls, was row 'after row of children, boys and girls, whose more varied, and in the case of the boys more sombre, garments formed an appropriate contrast and back ground to the lighter and gayer fore ground of muslin and silk. Considerable disappointment was occasioned by the announcement made at the commencement of the proceedings that Mr. Wm. Lloyd (hirrison, whose name had been publi.hed as one of the intending speakers, would not be present, and in the course of the day. The concert, which consisted of several vocal pieces, sang in chorus by the children, whose united voices, as may be readily imagined, tilled the palace from end to end, and who by the accurate time and tune they kept, proved that they bad profited well by previous rehearsals. There were also addresses delivered at different periods of the afternoon and evening by several gea.tlemcn in advocacy of the temperance principle, and after • display of the greet fountains, and organ performance by Mr. Coward, the /Ile concluded with various out of door sports for the enjoyment of which the length to which the the in-door portion of the programme hail extended, gave additional zest. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The Registrar General's weekly return contains the following remarks :—ln the week that ended on Satur day, August 31, births, and 2,903 deaths, were registered in London and in twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 24 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality Lid week was 22 per 1,000 in London. 22 in Edinburgh, and 21 in Dublin ; 20 in Bristol, 32 in Birmingham, 30 in Liverpool 32 in Manchester, 29 in Belford, 274 in Sheffield, 26 in Leeds . 23 in Hull, 40 iu Newcastle.upon•Tyne, and 22 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 27 per 1,000 during the week ending the 24th ult., when the mean temperature was 9.9 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 21. The mortality from diarr hces during last week showed an increase in nearly all the large towns, but wore particularly in Manchester, Bir mingham, and Sheffield. Of the above rates from all causes the following proportions resulted from diarrhoea : 4 per 1,000 in London, 6in Liverpool, 9 in Sheffield, 11 in Manchester and Seaford, and, the highest, 12 per 1,000 in Birmingham. In Newcastle the mortality showed a fur ther considerable increase upon previous we‘cs ; while in Leeds the mortality from all causes, but more especially from diarrhoea, had sensibly declined. In London the births of 1,034 boys and 1,031 girls, in all 2,085 children, were registered in the week. In the cor responding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the avenge number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,937. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,248. It was the 35th week of the year; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increeme of population, 1,269. The deaths in the present return exceed by 19 the estimated number. The deaths of 208 childreo and 18 adults from diarrheas were registered last week. Thivy-eight rases occurred in Le west, 58 in the north, 24 in the central, 40 in the east, and 66 in the south districts. Cholera, or choleraic clarrhae, proved fatal to 16 children and 6 adulta. The 226 deaths from diarrheas, and the 22 deaths from cholera are slightly in exams of the deaths from the same causes in the previous week. The eases are sporadic. The health officers in all such cases should still see that disinfectants are effectually employed. In the oorresponiling week of last year the deaths from diarrhea were 1•23, and from cholera 198. . . By Dr. Frankland's analysis of the water supplied by the London companies, it appears that both the New River and the East London waters contained in 100,000 tons 23 tons of extraneous matter, the other oompenia • still more, while the West Middlesex water contained 29 tons, and the Kent 49 tons of stuff of various kinds. The previous sewage contamination of all the waters at the time of analysis had apparently been converted into inno cuous compounds. By this test the But London waters were then the best, the Chelsea and the Kent waters the worst of the eight. The tut bidity of the Southwark water implies some defect in the process of filtration. The deaths of six persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered. THE BALL AT THE INDIA-norss.— Yesterday afternoon Mews. Gluier and Some sold, by public martial', the fitting, and decorations used at the grand bell given by the India-offioe to the Sultan. There was a fair attendance of theatrical and music-hall managers, hut the majority were dealers. The catalogue comprised lls lots, including 25 pair of crimson Utrecht velvet curtains, 19 wire gilt chandeliers, and a grand and highly d.-canted velarium. The competition was very brisk and animated through out. The sale realised close upon 40W. A TRADESMAN IMPRISONED FOR WIFE DR antrioN.—Joseph Long, a cloth weaver, of Yeadon, has been sent to prison for three months es a rogue and vaga bond, from the Bradford borough court, fur deserting his wife. The prisoner accompanied his wife to Bradford, to see her f ri ends on the 25th December, 1065, and under some pretence left the house, and had not been sees Main until about three weeks or a month ago. During the tame he had been away his wife was confined. i
