This had been declined, and the mis chief had arisen from his never having been met is the same spirit by Mr. Wyse. I ebeerved that the offer to come and look at his despatches was dales according as, in alluding to their antents, he had accurately stated what they were ; but how could aaiiie suppose, be reading this letter, that he had ay know of • premed convention negotiated is Loads. , wham a meet important fact was never alluded iefoom is sad el the Meer to the other. I bona Is Melt that ate beet mode of cleating up this meat win Warfel a Uinta was to go over with his all the despotism alga bed been earned out by the Valais, which amid bear wpm this part of the subject. Thu the general readily agreed to do, and having finished their perusal, I told the general candidly, that I could see &athlete in them to justify the expression used in kis des patch to M. Drouyn de Limy,. that the riessatill bases of a seaveation negotiated in London were at that time known at Athens. I 'Unshod his seriou attention to the bearing this point mut have upoa all future discussions. It was evident now, that the blame imputed to Mr. Wyse for having acted in the face of such knowledge could not be sustained ; either that knowledge bad been concealed from Lim at Athens, or it had not Wen is the power of Baron Gros to comorimicate it• and it so, I was sure he would, with the candour which I had always experitnced on his part, be ready to admit that he had put some very incau Wes expreases Into • very grave document. The general said that it was way to explain what he had meant, that the alterations in the original project of Mr. Wes, and M. Ores had formed the babas of the convention of L Aida, and this had been in the progress of negotiation. I begged the general to remark that if he would reed urchin, this letter of Baron Gros', be would find that he bad not succeeded is conveying any such idea to the mind of Biros Gros, or if (as it now appeared certain) there had been so wiitel coa cealment on the baron's part, had he dirtied vie same im pression from the despatches by the Vatua, which had been conveyed to M. Drays de Lbays in the despatch of the 14th of May, which I now remembered with increased regret had been read from the trihune (of the Amenthlb an usagesl proceeding, which demanded peculiu cue in the accuracy of the expressions used. In tat despatch it was stated that :In (=negative " of which the sesentlal bases were already known," was then on the point of arriving at Athens. But what says Baron Oros on this heed ? What does he pr-pose to Mr. Wyse ? that he should submit M. Ores' propositions to the British cabinet, and await his last:ructions, and be adds, that he will send off the Vauban with one and the other project. How is this reconcileable with the assertion that the conventicle of London was known to be en the point of are:vies/ ? If Baron Gros was sincere, the general then mast admit that that suertion was kb:curate. I wss sure I might trust to the general's known good faith to allow that he had been in error hers. The general said that he would examine carefully Into the gate:ion ; that even if he had not expatiated himself very correctly! in this respect, the complaint which the French government had against that of Bog end re mained sill in lull force, and was pointed out in this very letter of M. Oros, where he alludes, as I had quoted, to the reference home, and the suspersion in the interval of coercive measures ; that four times at different intervals your lordship had promised K. Drouyn de Lhuys that such instructions should be sent out to Mr. Wyse ; that from the Ist of March they had been acting on the Nile that these promises had been executed, and it was to the omission in that respect that these results were to be ausibuted. I told the general that I thought what had puled upon the priocipal "abject of our conversation this moraine would show him that it was better on neither side to impute sup posed omissions or mistake' in the conduct of complicated affairs of this nature to want of toed faith ; that if the quo. tion was still approactied in • different spirit, es I had always wished to treat it, I hoped in consideration of ,the great in tenets at stake, this matter might be brought to a satisfais. tory conclation.—l have, ie., (Sign,d) Nominee. Ma 2. TIM MAII4VLS Or NO/LX/O.CIST TO TI6OOtICT PALMERSTON. Paris, Jae 14, le6o. My Lord,—l have again seen Gement de Lahitte, as he wished to have some conversation with me after he hal had an opportunity of mulch ring the contents of Mr. Wye's despatch of the 31st of May. He began by stating that the phrase quoted by Mr. Wyse, and to which 1 had so specially called his attention yesterday, was not the part of that des patch of the 14th of May, on which the French government Lad founded their complaint of the conduct in this affair of her Majesty's government. It was to be found in the earlier portion of that despatch, and consisted in the tact that no instructions to carry out the promise" given, and to prevent the received of coercive measures in the event of a difference of opinion between the negotiators, had ever ban sent to Athens in time to avert the mischief which had oc curred. As to the next paragraph, I might observe that it stated what had been the consanences of such an omission. With respect to the statement made by him, and by which Mr. Wyse had supposed himself aggrieved, that the essential bases of the proposed convention of Lades were then known at Athens, he had meant that all the essential chenges which had been made in the projects seat home, on which changes was founded the subsequent convention, were detailed in M. Drays de Lhuys' despatch of the 9th of April, which had been sent out by the Vauban, and therefore if Mr. Wyse was left in auy error as to what was really brought Oct by the Vauban, it was his own fault, as he had 'skied the candid and friendly offer made by M. Gros, to show him all his despatches. Had he accepted that offer, he would have been in full possusioa of the actual state of the ass. I told the general that I was still obliged to repeat what I had said yesterday, that I thought the phrase be had himself used was calcu lated to lead Mr. Wyse hats the error into which he had faille; that the genial impression derived from the phew must have been, and indeed I knew had been, that the bow of the Convolutes of London being then and there heave, and its proximate arrival being at the some time spokes of, it was with dm ageism's* of these facts that the ceenive =warm were teemed. New, this was direelly the reTele• of the truth; not only Mr. Wyse did not, bat V. Gree el i not, know of the proximate arrival of any farther la.m. genes of a convention agreed to is Ludas, as I had eliewa yesterday ; because. on the contrary, he proposed to send their projects to Ludes. Yet I had hard Mr. Wyse attacked in many quieten for not having waited the two or three days aseessazy for receiving the actual °seventies, the wen- WI previa'', of which were then known. This accusation woe lauded ea the general's words. I wee convinced he did not mesa them to bear any such siguificatioo, but this was an additional proof of the disadvantage of giving pre mature perkiesity to documents of that grave character, when all lie espesseioas might not have been very well weighed. The general said I was certainly eight in supposing he had no each inteatioa. Hs could sot have meant to say any thing so obviously incosisisteat with dates known to every body. He was perfectly ready to state, whomever he had ausion, that be had near thenglie, as an agernstica of their complaint, to impute to Mr. Wyse that he had refused to wait two or three days, having at the time any knowledge of the seismal, of the oesesatioa of London. The general then entered into some criticisms of the reasoning which be stated Mr. Was to have loaded tam the sereaeuse sap poaitioas, bet as this has now so practical baring, I do not think it necessary to trouble your lordship with it.—l have, ic.

Lange land, mate of the Orion, brought to se, between two and three o'clock today, a letter from Captain Henderson, a copy of white we enclose. We sent a telegraph message to you intimating shortly the seelaneoly loss of the Orion this musing, between one and two, at Portpatriek. • • • Mr. Laagaland, the :mate, states that there are a great number of the paneagers saved, probably about 100; many of them are nearly naked, so we have sent out the Tartar with a quantity of clothing. The crew was mastered, and MI found wife, except Graham., the steward, Walker, the carpenter, and an appointees named Dann. Several pom p= have arrived is Glasgow, aria Ardronam—Your oho . Ilion servants, G. and G. BUMP. From the above communication it will be perceived that 'the actual loss of life, so far as the particulars have yet reached this plus, is still a matter d esopeture, bet the iaulligence already received leaves no doubt that it will be very considerable, as from bekermation we obtained this morning at Masers. Martin and Bosse once, the total number of passengers on board I aitimated at 170. from 60 to 60 of them being deck and upwards of 100 cabin era. It is therefore to be feared, judging from the re e t . t e. r7/ Messrs. Burns, of Glasgow, that the lots of lice will not be loss than 60 at least, as stated is our early edition. Amongst the passengers are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gladstone and family, of Clifton-park, Dukenhead, cousin to Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. Mose, merchant, of Water-street. The Orion, when abs left Liverpool, bad en unusually large samba of pemmican on loud, all her cabin berths being engaged, sad 1 1 / 1 1074 parties, including some gentlemen who had arrived from America by the Buropa. were unable to obtain berths, and fortunately for themselves were detained in Liverpool, or went by another mite. This learning the office of Messrs. Martin sad Burns is besieged by parties having friends and relations on bond. severally making inquiries respecting the fete of those con nected with them, and the suspenseand anxiety manifested by many of them Is truly distressing. About 2 o'clock, Mr. i'leming, of Stirling-gardens, one of the survivors ' came into the Radiance, - Liverpool, and gave the fi rst public tidings of this most melancholy event. It appears from hie statement, and what we could other wise learn, that between one and two o'clock this morning, the Orion struck on • snakes rock off l'urtpatrick, and almost immediately sunk. The passengan and crew rushed inn the boats, twoof wi.ieh, it is anted, at clam capsized. owing to the number that crowded into them, and almost all perished. The number lost is unknown at pr sent, as the accounts vary tram fi:ty to one hundred, but it is believed the smaller number is nearer the actual loss. The wrath, r was Sao ; but the sane said that a slight tog prevailed &Wi dens, whilst some ache surviving passengers state that it was clear weather. As one-half of the fennel Is above water, the depth at the place where she has sunk will be from fin to six fathoms. The only name 'mentioned as amongst the drowned is Dr. BUMS, brother of the Messrs. Bunn, the owners of the vessel. His body hai been washed ashore before the survivors left tke seam of the catastrophe. it is feared that a nuu.bsr of those who have met a watery grave belong to this place, and in cousequenes, the excitement has ben ever since most intense. The number of passengers on board is supposed to have been 112 ; but no authentic list can be procured this rem leg, until the receipt of a telegraphic despatch with the names of those who had booked their bertha at the ease. 0: these who had taken their places on board no sesente mend sea be had at present, as the ally complete lim Is lost in the versa. To attempt to account fur the lord this mile easel on a fine nylht en oar own shores, within a stmt Metros of the land, where every stone should be fami lied known to these is charge, is at present impossible ; but we law no doubt that the most searching investigation will be meet by the owners into a casualty which has eventuated in such ea awful sacrifice of human life. The rock on which the orlon 'track is some distance from the shore, acd passed through the vessel principally in her midship com portment, breaking the engines to pieces, and within lee than tan minutes from the time she struck the Orion was at the bottom. From a gentleman who was a paaainger by the Female steamer, from Fleetwood to Troop, we have received the fol. additional particulass : It was • quarter to six this morning, the weather clear and beautifully calm, when, as the Fenella paned Portpatriek, a boat came out with the captain of the Orion, to request that the commander of the resells would take some of the ravivon on board. The Fermin accordiugly brought to for nearly an hour, and took on board ten of the survivors. From the accounts that could be gleaned from their statements, it would appear that It was exactly a quarter to two when the vessel struck, not at stem on, but rather towards the bilge ; and almost immediately after she sunk gradually by the rad ; and before any of the cabin passengers had time to dress, the water was up to their knees in the cabin. The fort boat that was launched was so crowded with the pahlosersek passengers that she instantly sunk, and almost sY ell board perished. In the second boat a number of ladies wore pat, and they reached the shore in safety. In the meantime the vessel gradually filled with water, and the mow and passengers were left floating on the surface of the min waters. ' As aeon u the accident was discovered from the shore a member of boats put off, and picked up all that could be seen on the loose portions of the wreck, or swimming the shore. The wreck lies with the meats and funnel vertical, and half out of the water; sad to the rigging several of the survivor clung until they were relieved. The place whore the wreck lies is not 150 yards from the shore, and quite close to the lighthouse of l'ortpatrick. At the time the Fauna left, only nine of the bodies had been recovered. Such was the awful consternation and excitement smart the survivors, altar the caturrophe, that very few particulars beyond those already stated could be learned. The Tartar, steam-packet, belonging to Moms. Burns, leaves the Broomielaw the moment she floats, with Mr. Janus Burns, and Captain Douglas, the marine superintend ent of the company, the engineer, and other often, for the purpose of making ever, effort to ere the easel aad re cover the bodies, 44 She likewise Maim with her a quan tity of clothing, blankets, provisions, Mrs., for those of the survivors who may stand in teed of these resseities ; and likewise a number of oodles for the bodies the drowned. The number of at board the ill-fated vessel aow 'desisted to bays Men from 140 to 150, of whom only 16 were steerege. The latter would have the beet chance of =. e . aved, as they were on deck at the time dthe adm it is ascertained that every cabin berth had been taken, as well se every sots; sad the vessel was rase queatly crowded with cabin pmenagen. The greater num ber of passenger" were saved by dinging to those portions of the wreck which remained above water. The Orion was originally fitted up with weber-den bulk heads, and thereby divided into four or five compartments ; and it has therefore been a matter of surprise that there should not have bees the means of keeping the vessel Wort.

MILAN OP soma's IN THN CIHTBAL CRIMINAL COURT. Alderman FAREBROTHER silted whether the sheriffs had Say npreeentatime to make to the court of the awe of the dismissal of the jars on Saturday from the Central Criminal Court, and the direction to them to attend on ' Monday. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE said the Re corder could not attend at the Central Criminal Court on Setarday, on amount of his engagement In the Lord Mayor's Conn, ea a ease of compensation, on that day. It was, be side., need for one of her Majesty'. judges to attend on that day; sad no judge having appeared to proceed in the busi ness of the court, an adjournment necessarily took place. Alderman FARE BROTHER was maidens to prevent the reearrenee of as maddest by whittle great Inooavenience and heavy expense were ocisarionag. (Rear, hear.) Before he made the inquiry he had *Wailed himself that the learned judge Baron Rolfe who was to have presided in the court, would, although :engaged I. Guildhall, have taken core, if informed of the emergency, to have provided a sub albite in the Central Criminal Court ; but the fact was the Clerk of the court had Informed the learned judge that there was no cue to be tried in which his pretence would be nee , 'Gary. (Hear, hear.) The learned Recorder was not to be blamed upon the occasion but some arrangement ought to be made to insure his mikes daring the sittings of the Central Criminal Court, and as the learned gentleman had declared liaised he but the Lord Mayor and Aldermen were the judge of the Mayor's Court, it would be competent for them to prevent the duties of the one court from interfering with the duties of those of the other. Under these oir cunutanom he should move that it be referred to the com mittee of privileges to consider and report upon the subject. The motion was agreed to. DICLAZATION AGAINST THANSONSTANTIATION. The following report of the Town Clerk upon the sub ject of the declaration against transubstantiation, was read : " In obedient* to an Order of /our honourable court of the idth day of April last, that I should repAt whether the law requirinzthe declaration stalest transabstantiation is still In tame t i beg leave to oer:lty d.'"t" ?" I Geo. IV., imp. 7, provides that from the commencement of that act the statutes requiring amongst other things that the declaration against transubstantiation should be subscribed as • quslifleation for the titfeillt or enjoyment of any office (except as therein exempted), be repealed. The exceptions to that act do not appear to me to apply to any of the municipal officers in the City of London, and therfore I con sider, as to all other officers of the corporation of L:o ion, that the declaration is net now required to be subscribed. Undsrst ending that immediately alter the pasting of the 10111 Geo. IV., some inquiry had been mods in my office a. to the necessity of making that declaration, and finding that after that time the form had been retainede in the book kept for that purpose, and' had been invt risbly signed, I did not feel myself Justified in directing, without any authority fer the purpose, that it should be withdrawn. But since the above reference tome I have made inquiries in the house of Lords and ileum of Commons, and ulso, in the courts of law at Westminster, and at the Central Criminal Court and session., and find that it is not signed before any of those tribunals. I have, therefore ' no hesitation in recommending that for the future it should be discontinued in the City of London." _ _ Alderman LAWRENCE said he understood, that not withstanding the repeal of the obnoxious and absurd law, the declaration was subscribed as • qualification in some of the wards of the city. It was evident that in the case of a sheriff or alderman there was no occasion for any inch form, end therefore the administration of it on any elec tion, se It was no longer legal, moat be merely the e ff ect of caprice. (Rear, hear.) Twelve or fourteen years ago when he became a member of the Court of Common Council, he had declined to subscribe such • declaration, because he looked upon it as absurd in the extreme at such • time of day. Why the Court of Aldermen should retain so ridieu lout • form up to the present time, he could not conceive, and Le should therefore, for the sake of the character of the court, move that the report of the town cleric be received, adopted, aed entered upon the minutes of the court. The majority of the court seemed to be of opinion, that although there was no longer ocearisn for the administration of the declaration, the suggested mode of disposing of it was not sufficiently formal and ceremoniour, and that it would be necessary to discuss the quesion in the presence of Alder man Salmons, who was the mover of the reference. CONDUCT OP THE VERGERS AT T. PAUL'd CATHEDRAL. Alderman WILSON brought up the report of the com mittee of priviieges, directed to inquire into sod take such steps as might be necessary with reference to the conduct of the vergers at St. Paul's Cathedral on the first Sunday in Trinity term. It certified that Alderman Hooper having stated the conduct displayed by one of the vergers to Mu. Hooper upon that day, the committee directed the town clerk to write to the chief verger, informing him that the verger who was in charge of the seats appertaining to the Lady Mayoress and the ladies of the aldermen, had interrupted the ladies in their progress to their proper mats, and behaved with great redeems and discourtesy ; that an extract from the records of the corporation, from which it appeared that in the year 16:09, granting the vergers the Wm of hi. an usually for their attendance upon the Lord Mayor and C inn of Aldermen, but with a proviso that they should keep the seats of the aldermen and their ladies clear and free for their reception, had been sent to the chief verger, accompanied with the desire to know who was the verger in charge of the seats on that occasion ; that the following lcter was received in reply to that communication _ . _ St. Paul's Cathedral, 4th June, 14in. Stn,—l beg to acknowledge the rectipt of your letter of yesterday, and in reply to state that my colleague, Mr. Joseph links and in}sc If bad charge of the Lady Mayoress's closet on Sunday last. From the crowded state of the church 1 was noes arily engaged in other parts of the church, and was wholly ignment of the circumstances to which reference is made. Upon enquiry of Mr. flicks he states that he was ordered by the police not to allow a",•v one to enter the Lady Mayoress's closet until after her arrival, and that be is wholly un consMous of having given MIMI of offence. Mr. nicks supposed him. eel( acting under the immediate instructions of the Lady Mayoress in refusing to admit strangers into her seat. As soon, however, as the ladles Hooper, made themselves known, Mr. HMO came to me end asked what he should do. 1 told him to admit them at once as a matter of tight, his instroctionanatwithatanding. Allow me, in con clusion, to say that we are constantly placed in trying and difficult circumstances of this kind. Visitors frequently require the best eammodatim wecan Word in thename of acme member at the comple tion, while from the frequency of three occurrences wenecemarily Meow that many such statements must be untrue. lithe loins had presented tickets, or U we bad any opportunity of knowing personally those who have a right to the meta demanded ? and if, in addition to thin, whatever Instructions are deemed remusite were given directly to the vergers, very great inconveniences might be obviated, we should not have to eubmit to the overbearing temper sometimes assumed by the visitors, and we should have the satisfaction and pleasure of ren dering the most respectful attention fm our power to those ladies and gentlemen who have a legitimate claim upon our best services.-1 re main, sir, with the greatest respect, your obedient servant, Mr. cerpant Merewether. JAIL= SYKEIS verger. The report went on to state that the vergers attended the committee, and expressed their regret at the occurrence ; and concluded by stating that the committee felt tatiefied, from the explanation afforded, that a similar event would not again arise; at the same time they were of opinion that, for the future, any instructions from the lady mayoress res. parting the admission of herself or friends into the clout should be communicated to the vergers by the City Marshal, and not by the police ; and that the ladies of the aldermen who may at any time be desirous of attending at the who dral shout.' be furnished with orders from the aldermen fey their admission into the closet, whereby all parties entitled to seats there would be duly accommodated. Alderman WILSON, in moving that the report be agreed to, said that no men could have shown greater contrition than the vergers had shown before the committee, and he entertained no doubt that there would be no future cause of complaint. _ Alderman HOOPER said he was glad that he had moved the reference of the matter to the committee of privileges, as it bad caused an investigation which he trusted would not only in the result be b.neficial to th. ladies who visited the cathedral, but to the public at large. (Loud cries of " Hear.") The court ultimately agreed to the report, in the expecta tion that the evil would be completely removed, and that the advantage will be publicly felt.—Adjourned. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING LOCAL SELF-GOVERN MINT.—Yesterday a public meeting was held at the King's Arms Hotel, New Falaos-yard, Westminster, to consider what steps it was most advisable to take for the purpose 01 maintaining and extending local self-government in opposi Lion to centralisation. Mr. James, of Birmingham, took the chair, and explained that one of the objects of the present society was to oppose the principles sought to be established by the Public Health Act. The society was resolved to use every means in its power to prevent the attempts which were now being made to extend the system of centralisation, as opposed to the constitutional principles of local self-go vernment. Amongst the various objections to the system of centralisation, the society invited particular attunes to the Public Health Act which was now under the considera tion of the house. This bill was objected to by the society en the ground that it was likely to be passed into law with out an opportunity being given to the inhabitants of Bir mingham, Brighton, Luton, Whitchaven, Wolverhampton, and other towns, to De heard upon the matters therein con tained. At a meeting held a few days ago in furtherance of the objects of the society certain resolutions were puled, anti subsequently proceedings ware appointed to take place on the present occasion. Mr. J. T. Smith, honorary secretary to the committee, appointed to carry out the views of the aosnry, addressed the meeting at some length, and pointed out the evils that were likely to arise from the sys tem of centralisation which the government seemed disposed to adopt. He eueluded Frainaialf a ralaisbaa ta the effect that some steps should be taken to oppose the course b which, in violation of the constitutional protection afforded by the standing orders of both houses of parliament, the Public Health Act was shoat to be brought into opera tion i n many plies/ throughout England and Wales. ibis and other noolutioni, having in view the promotion of the otdects of the society, and the mode of rasing hinds to snip pet it, were suscsedvisly eased. and the meeting separated. CIIORCII RATES AT BRIOUTON.—The church-rate question began beginning to attract attention at Brighton. The existing rate wee imposed by a minority of the rate payers, and its oollection for wow dm was not enforced. A few weeks ago, however, summonses were issued against several respectable inhabitants, who declined to make pay ment ; but as they contest the legality of the rate, - the =iretas amid take no farther proceedings in the natter. e peados is it is understood, about to be oiled to the peeper eesiesinstisal court. Meanwhile, on Friday last so viral Quakers were wanunesed ; their cases owe before the beach on Monday, but were then adjourned until to-orrow, whoa doubtless, as the objections of the Caskets to m aura rates is irrespective of all legal considerations, distress war rants will be issued against their goods. As the legality of the rate is about to be contested, and as the Braintree ease, though decided in the Court of Error, is understood to be are on appeal to the Roses of Lords, great indignation Is entertained in Brighton at this oppaarive step against the (halms. STAFFORDSHIRE CO: AY DISTRICT. Thrien/I, Jona 18. The agitation nisei Dome two or three month alma, for the purpose of putting down the nook or tommy optima, has rather Increased than diminished sine* I last wets you on the subject, so much so, that the entire district from Wolverhampton to West Bromwich, and from Waken across the country to Btonrbrldge, is kept in • com plete ferment by the large meetiage of workmen which Wks phew almost ; it unfortunately happens, too, that notwithstanding all the convictions that have taken place, and all the fair promises that have been made by the masters, " truck " is in full operation in one shape or other, and with wry little probability of it. being abolished. To save them selves from the enormous penalties consequent on repeated munietiem, some of the greatest offenders gave pledges that the men should be paid fortnightly, and in cash, without any r.etrictkn whatever; to show how little disposition there was, however, to carry out thin fullest spirit the compromise entered into, the men at some of the largest works have already received a hint, that unless they expend their money at a particular shop their serene, will not be required. The iron trade is very bad, too, just now, so that the truck mas ters are able to exert their power to • fuller extent than they could do under other circumstances. Still the struggle goes on, in fact, they are just beginning spin with re newed viper. Hower when the present hasten of matters will terminate nobody can tell; the evil of the tommy system is bad enough assuredly, although it is not altogether unmitigated, locking at the improvident set of people upon whom it operates ; but there is an evil much greater perhape, and that is , a continu ance of the present state of thing., which has the effect of cre ating the worst possible feeling between the employers and the employed : the men look on and speak of their masters in a gloomy bitterness of spirit, and the latter seem only to be bent on keeping their men down, disregarding all their social comforts or rights as workmen, and treating them gene rally in a very tyrannies and oppressive fashion. They have studded the district with churches, and have a population ignorant, dissipated, and brutal; neither sensible of nor capable el awning their own rights as men, or of appreciating the duties which they we to their empioyeri. 1 lie nailmakers bine been on strike and at war with their masters these two months, and the poor gun-lock filers of Darlaston, to the number of ail or seven hundred, are in the same unfortunate circumstances, although there is a heavy go vernment order on hard which nquins to he executed early. This town has been the centre of the agitation which hoe been going on : yesterday a large meeting took place in the open air, at which deputations from most of the neighbour ing anti-track associations were present. Mr. George Daw son, the lecturer, who had been specially invited, also attended. and addressed the meeting, the tenor of his observations being very properly directed to convey to the men a sense of their duty to themselves, pointing out to them of th labour, The that would result from a wise combination The meeting was presided over by Mr. CHARM Lesnnt, a retail shopkeeper; and Mr. Roman i SERGEANT suavest the first resolution, which was to the effect that the meet ing pledged itself to nee its utmost exertions to suppress the , ruck system. The speaker pointed out how much the success of the conflict in which ehey were engaged depended upon the assistance and the information they received from the workitie men; out of 70 informations already laid, they had succeeded in upwards of 60—a hot alone, in his mind, of sufficient importance to induce them to persevere in putting down • system that was oppressive alike to the working man and to the retail tradesman. He pointed out how some of the principal firms had violated their pledges . to put a stop to the track system in their establishment... and said that the association had now determined on exertit g a stronger power—that of proceeding against the "tommy masters" in the county court for the recovery of the wage* in money which had been einjurly paid to the men in truck. The men had shown every disposition to be concilia tory towards their employen; but they having faded, end the fairest promises having been broke n, they were deter mined sever to relax their exertions aced every tommy stop was closed. Mr. LINNET, one of the most active meraten of the association in this town, gave an account of the efforts now being made in Sc eland to put dime) the tommy system at the c - dlieriee there. He described the various devices practised for evading the penalties of the law, where the act is violated, and said that at the present time there were from 12,000 to 16,000 men standing idle, determined never again to go to work until the "tommy system" was put an end to at the works where they were employed. In many irstancea the masters had already pivot is, and he hoped that before very long an end would be put to this iniquitous system : unless the law as it stood was sufficient for the purpose, they were deter mined to seek redress at the hands of parliament. The "tommy masters" had resorted to the most scandalous ex pedients; they had violated every pledge sokmnly given beta.: the magistra're, and bribed witnesses in support of the informationW Toe truck ab;litionis:s were not to be deterred; they were determined to go on until victory ex seined their efforts. Mr. Jones, a gun-lock filer, of Darlastoo, spoke is sup port of the resolution. lie said that by the working nu n alone the " truck system" had been put an end to in his parish. They subscribed 17.3. for the purpose of car rying on the war, and had received upwards of 801 from fines on conviction of " tommy masters." The sgita'ion t, id at last worked one good—it had caused some of the " truck-meatus" to reduce the price of their goods ; in oae instance he knew that cheese had been reduced from yd. to 61. per lb. It was scarcely to be wondered at, Vowever, that the system was persisted in, seeing that a principal at one of the works aid confessed that they netted by it lid. in the shilling—a sum equal to 3,2001. a year upon the amount of weg:s they pai l, The resolution was carried unanimously as was also a subs quent one to the effect that is consequence of the bad faith of many of the " tommy masters," who have made pl_dges before the rr.agistrges to close their shops, it was necessary that this association should continue its labours until all the " tommy 'hops " ate cloud. Mr. DA wSON, M.A., next addressed the meeting. He Paid: As I have co immediate cognation with the work ing of the truck system, my appearing at this meeting may need explanation. I have come at the invitation of the committee of the Anti-Truck Assoeiatioo, who, contd. derine justly that in this struggle the workmen are not evenly matched with the muter., feel justified in seeking any aid to secure the overthrow of that system which the law has so denounced. A quaint old proverb says " the lower millstone grinds as well as the upper "—a raying to which we assent at ewe, but which is continually forgotten in pro ice. All Europe has been engaged of late in ressserting this proverb. Mark the upper millstone "capital," and the lower " labour," and it expresses not the bare fact only, but implies that the share of the lower stone is disproportioned to the amount of the Wooer done by it. The upper stones are sadly apt to forget that, were the lower stone temoved, they might still turn, but grinding of thin air would be the only result. Ido not think that labour receives its dee. I do think that the relations of capital and labour want re adj usui g. Mr. 1) oncluded by expressiag his willingness to aid in putting down the present truck system. 8 , octal other Newels addressed the meeting, and a Cone • bination amongst the workmen at each pit was suggested as a means of putting a stop to the existing evil. Tomorrow there is to be a meeting at Sedgley fee a similar purpose. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN ROAD.— Yesterday the anniversary festival of this institution took place at the London Tavern, Bishopegate street, the Hon. E. H. Stanley, M.P., in the chair. About 350 gentlemen sat down to dinner,. and amongst the guests at the cross table were T. Greene, Eui., M.P., J. Manners, Sutton,El'l. , Id.P., J. A. Roebuck, Esq , M.P., the Rev. .7.
