THE HEALTH OF CARDINAL WissuAlr. —The Weekl9 Untidier says :—We rejoice to be able to announce that an improvement has taken place in the health f the Cardinal Archbishop. Mr. Clarks Hawkins, who had been summoned to Route by • telegram to see his Eminence, returned to London on Wednesday morning, having left Homo ..o the previous Sunday, and we are glad to say that he left his Eminence in a date that gives hope, of his ulti mate recovery from the enure illness he has lately been suffering from • most painful operation waa ne•assary, which In, Eminence bore remarkahly well. The daily tele grutis that have arrived since Kr. Hawkius's departure from Rome have been of • favourable nature. It a impuesible to over-estimate the anxiety and the sympathy which have been occasioned by the serious state of the illustrious palate. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1860. BANQUET AT THE MANSION HOUSE TO HEE MAJESTY S MINISTERS. Yesterday evening the Egyptian Hall at the liansion.houee Irma thrown open to a brilliant circle mem bled to meet her Majesty's ministers. Upwards of 300 of the nobility and gentry. including the whole of the cor poration, and a considerable number of foreign guests, sat down to a sumptuous dinner supplied by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, his lordship's purveyors. Amongst the guests the embeasy from Morocco attracted general attention, from their grave demeanour sad singular costume ; and his FA. cellency Hassan Ali Khan, the ambassador from Persia, and suite, were also the object, of great interest and curiosity. There was slao an immense variety of naval, military, and volunteer uniforms, so that alto gether this dinner was probably one of the most brilliant parties of the season. The cloth having been removed, and the loving cup sent r his lordship gave the " Queen," which was responded to the customary loyal enthusiasm. Alm seat toast was "The Prince Consort, the Prince sif Wales, and the !seminal branches of the royal family ;" I the Lord Mayor, in p it, making a graceful allusion' to the speech of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort at the International Stetter& Conroe. His LOIWORIP then gave the Army and Navy," observ ing that in whatever quarter of the world the noble men comprising those two services were called upon to fight, he know they would never forget their home, and he hoped sad trusted that their home would never forget them. (Chases.) Maw what might, he was satisfied they would do their duty, and show that they were not unworthy mut meson of those brave soldiers who distinguished themselves in the wars of 1804 and 1815, and much more recently the Crimea and India. (Cheers.) The Duke al Samar, in replying on the part of the navy, alluded to the servicee which the navy was called upon to perform in China and New Zealand, and said WA if thee was sa r alatileto isierrek bei.e• Obieraq~d, this be wee eartain, - that whatever account; did e oar a , they would bear teseasony to the gallant bearing, the boldness and bravery of the British sailor. (Cheers.) &r JOIN Byname briefly acknowledged the toast on the part of the army. His LORDISIIIP then gave the health of "Her Majesty's Ministers," to whom he said the country was trade' deep obligations for the manner in which they dialler's& the onerous and difilcult duties belonging to the high and dis tinguished positions they occupied. They all knew that the prime minister of the country frequently sat in the House of Commons for sixteen hours at a time, yet he never seemed exhausted or worn out, and performed the duties of his office with the seine ardour and vigour which marked him career twenty or thirty years ago. (Hear, hear.) He there fore had no hesitation in Liking them to drink to the health of Lord Palmerston and the different noblemen and gentle men whom he had rallied round him in enter to carry on the government of the country. (Hear.) The toast having been drunk with much applause, Lord Pausal:ewe—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentle seen—For myself and my colleagues I beg to return my most grateful thanks for the kind meaner in which our healths have been proposed byyour lordship, and alsoforthefriendly and en;busastic manner in which the toast has been received by the oompany. Your lordship has been pleased to make a emparisoe between the amount of daily labour which we have to perform, and that which falls to the lot of the Lord Mayor of London. My lord. I believe it would be difficult to say who during their tenure of office leads the most laborious life, but when his lordship refers to the late hours and other in• )carious incidents of our vocation as regards bodily health, I *leave to say that there is one course of Wee( which I am reminded by the magnificent entertainment to which we have been invited, which I believe to be still more injurious than the hard work and late hours of the House of Com mons, if on every day of the week, every week of the month, and every month of the year, your lordship was obliged to indulge in so splendid and luxurious a repast as that at which we are now assembled. (Cheersand laughter.) I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that, feeling as we do the great responsibility of conducting the affairs of the nation, the greatest satisfaction we can experi ence is in retiring occasionally from the turmoil of political life and enjoying as we now do the splendid hospitality of the first magistrate of the City of London. It must always be a pleasure to us to see ourselves in the greatest commercial city of the greatest commercial nation of the world, and I trust we may take some credit to ourselves for having during this present session proposed several measures which must tend greatly to the commercial prosperity of the country. (Hear, hear,) It has sometimes been the fashion to my that commerce destroys the manliness and hardihood of • nation, but the commercial history of the world is full of examples showing the fallacy of that theory. (Hear, bear.) However, if any dill stronger proof were wanting of its unsoundness, we have it in the events of the present year, when 130,000 of the youth of this cetintry, the ma jority of them engaged in commercial pursuits, have sub. mitted to privations and fatigues to which their previous habits had rendered them totally unsuited, and have thrown their whole zeal and energy into the task of providing the best means of defending the country. (" Hear, hear ' and cheer..) I think that already the volunteer movement is the noblest spectacle that has ever been exhibited by any nation in the world. We are not without examples is which, when danger imminently threatened • conntry,wbes the enemy was knocking at the • door, the Mien WM ee OM man, and tearing themselves from the business and pismires of civil life, prepared to shed their blood for their ementry. But this is not an instance of this kind. It is mid that the lion in the desert sniffs the danger afar off, and preperes hisuself betimes for whatever emergency may oc cur. It is so with the youth of this country. They have an instinctive feeling that circumstances may arise in which the ordinary defences of the country may prove inadequate to the occasion. Although their spirit is pro phetic. I trust that its prophecy will not be accomplished ; vet still we must rejoice to see that with a manly energy * and courage which could not be surnamed they have alrea dy arrayed themselves in the numbers I have stated, and would, if need be, double, treble, or quadruple their num bers. (Loud cheers.) IT has been said that if you want peace you must prepare for war. That is true, and it is untrue. It is untrue if it is meant that • nation should arm itself, and place itself in an airviess,„ ive attitude; that it should increase its naval and military este blishments more than is necemary . for defence. In that case it seems evident that aggression upon neighbours is intended, the neighbours are necessarily filled with dia. trust and alarm, and instead of being securities for peace such preparations become the strongest inxotives to war. (Hear, hear.) Far better when a nation contents itself, as we are doing, with defensive arming, and repudiates all aggressive demonstrations. Such preparations are the best preservatives of peace, and 1 trust wo shall long continue to keep ourselves in that condition, and say that peace we will have, because he who attacks us shall ever rue the day be has dose so. (Loud cheep.) trust that what lam say ing will be taken in its proper sense, as a compliment to that great and noble body the Volunteers of England, who may tie looked upon as the moat active and practical mem bers of the Peace Society. (Cheers and laughter.) The noble lord concluded by repeating his acknowledgments for the toast. The Loan MATOR then gave " The Foreign Arnie's'. den," to which Count Bernstorff, the Prussian ambassador, replied in • few words. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in responding to the toast of " The House of Lords," described that assembly as the rallying point of public opinion in England. When public opinion went too fast, the Lords were ready to restrain it ; and, on the other hand, when the occasion required it, they were ready to listen to the voice of the people, and to be guided by political necessity. (Hear.) Hi. LORDeHIP, in complimentary terms, proposed " The House of Commons." Lard JOHN Bresem, in replying to the toast, mid the Ham et 00a1M001 was an ancient body, which had always Men massed in defending the liberties of the country. The corporation of the City of London was likewise an ancient body, which had at all times exercised a similar function' at one time protecting the people against the aggressions f the aown, and at another - .defending the crown from the encroachment of the people. Therefore, a strong sympathy hes always existed between the House of Commons sad the corporation of the City of London. Both were our most ancient institutions, and he trustedV whatever measure the House of Commons might apply to the City of London, it would show respect for those great principles of which that corporation had invariably been the great supporters. (Cheers.) It bed pleased her Majesty to appoint him the minister on whom devolved tho diplomatic business of the country, and be trusted that in no instance had any act of his sacrificed the national interest or tarnished the national honour. It was the duty of the government to maintain the honour and interest of the country, without at the same time for getting what was due to other nations, and to endeavour to bring about such a general agreement as would promote civil and religious liberty all over the world. (Chem.) The Lotto CRANCELLoR then proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, which was drunk with great cordiality. The LORD MATOR next gave, " The president and gentle men of the International Statitioal Congress." M. Le Gorr returned thanks in the French lan- He begged on his own part and on that of his 001. Carnes,. the delegates from foreign countries at the Inter national Statistical Congress, to thank the Lord Mayor sad the company for the tout which had been proposed. He was happy to be afforded the occasion for making knows the sentiments of gratitude which they all entertained for the affectionate and cordial hospitality they bad received in that great city. For his own part he would carry away a sweet souvenir of some of the pleasantest days of his life, which were those he had passed his English friends. It should be his duty, as wars: pleasure, to make known to the government which he led the honour to serve the profound sympathy of which be; and his colleague* had been the object, i n . that congress which he trusted would turn out to be • congress of pews After one or two further observations, IL Le Ooyt con cluded by repeating hr atlmowlisdgoteute. Lord ?ALI/MIMS pve "The Lady Mayorese,"after which the remaining toasts were digxeed of, and the company I separated. INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CONGRESS. The several sections re-assembled yesterday morning at ten o'clock. 811CTION 1.-JUDICIAL STATISTICS. Lord BROUGHAM preluded. The subject of "Civil and Criminal Statistics " was spin discussed in connexion with Mr. Leone Levi's paper so entitled, when the following additional resolutions were adopted : " That the statistics relating to the procedure of courts of justice in their civil jurisdiction should exhibit the number of actions, suite, or other proceedings commenced • the number of causes entered for trial ; the number tried, distinguishing the defended from the undefended ; the number referred to arbitration ; the number struck out or withdrawn or settled previous to or at the trial, or ter minated otherwise than by judgments ; the number and nature of judgments, decrees, or orders ; the number of rammer ; the number of new trials, and why granted ; the number and effect of executions, whether spinet the or the property ; the number and nature d inter locutoryn orders and reps; the duration of suits; the subject-matter of suits ; the amounts in litigation ; the amount recovered ; the court fees • the taxed core ; the number sad result of appeals or pr oceeding, in error ; and the nationality of plaintiffs and defendants.

MICRON in. ITIDCISTIUAL KTATIRTICIL-WANI:PACTUEZA, KIM°, AND ACRICULTUIZ. Bir R. MUSCHINON again presided. The early portion of the morning was occupied in discussing and pealing resolu tions founded upon Mr. Hunt's paper on the statistics of mineral produce and of mining and metallurgical industry, read on the previous day. Afterward a paper by Mr. A. REDGRAVIL was read, on the statiaties of textile fabrics of the United Kingdom. The writer commenced by observing that the form of returning each statistics recommended by the congress of 1855 was similar to that adopted by Mr. Pilkington in this country, and in which the factory returns, presented to the House of Commons, were made up. Proceeding to deal with the quantity and value of the materials absorbed and the capital employed in this branch of industry, the writer stated, on the authority of the official returns, that the quantity of raw cotton consumed in our cotton manubctories in 1866 was 7,832,000 cwta., the value being 20,1121,063/. Of wool 15,000,000 lbs. was used annually in worded fabrics, 26,000,0001 M. were exported, and 80,000,0001b5. were used in woollen goods ; the total quan tity consumed in the various branches of the woollen manu factures was estimated at 199,531,00011 u., and the value of the raw material 10,314,477/. ; the value of the raw wool worked up in the worsted factories was estimated at 5,000,0001. Of flax (which was also an estimate) the quan tity of the raw material consumed was 4,716,867 cwts., the value being 7,257,8751. Of silk, 9,290,276 lbs. ; value 9,754,779/. The value of the capital invested in those branches of industry was estimated (upon data that wee explained) as follows :—Cotton spinning and weaving manufactures, raw material, 20,000,000/. ; wages, 20.000,000/.. Coals, oil, and other things used, 2,000,000/. odd ; repairs of machinery, interest, &c., /go., 9,558,0001.; total, 40,421,7471.

In these several kinds of manufactures the capital invested in the factories and mills, machinery, steam engines, Bc., was estimated at 63,545,0001. This paper, the information contained in which was attained principally from the returns made under the Factory Act, and the data supplied by Mr. M'Culloch, was, the author stated, prepared as an illustra tion of the plan for preparing such returns laid down by the Congress held at Vienna. The ClialliMLN considered the communication of very peat value ; and his suggested resolution, thanking the author, and recommending the printing of the paper in =- gesso, was passed. - SIMON IV.• STANITICI3. MY. NANNAU Samoa presided. The discussion on that part of the proglamme relating to prioes and wage* was re sumed ; and a paper by Yr. CILLIVTUED, on banks, was reed. 81ETION V.-CENSUS AND NAVAL AND MILITANT Earl STANHOTE preeitiOa77l;;discussion on Mr. HlM mack's paper " on the Census with special reference to the decision of the first session of the Congress," was resumed, and continued throughout the day. SECTION —STATISTICAL METHODS. Mr. M. MILNES presided. Dr. Guy's paper on statistical methods and signs was discussed at conaiderable lowan. Dr. Babhae, General Paley , Sir J. Bowring, and various other members taking part in the diennsion, in the course of which Sir John Bowring suggested that the abacus might be used with advantage as • simple and certain means of calculation. It was generally adopted in Chios, cud so complete was its accuracy that any mistake was regarded as certain evidence of au intention to defraud. The general meeting in the afternoon was well attended. Amongst the members present were Lord Brougham, Shaftesbury, Vice Chancellor Sir W. Page W Mr. Monckton Milner , M.P., Sir Roderick Murchison, ajor Graham, Colonel Dawson, Mr. M. D. Hill, Colonel Sykes, M.P., Sir C. Parley, Alderman Salomon', M.P., Mr. Fos- Hamm and the Secretary Dr. Farr, Mr. Valpy, Mr. ack, the Bradlian Minister, H. E. Baron Czcernig, M. Legoyt, and the other official delegates. At the general meeting in the afternoon Dr. Farr stated that Mr. M. Gibson, being engaged at a Cabinet Council, was unable to preinde oonasquently Lord Brougham had kindly consented to take the fitir. Lord Brougham having accordingly taken his seat, the minutes of the previous day's proceedings were read and confirmed. Communications were read from several distinguished foreigners, of France, Austria, Prussia , Belgium, Switzer land, and Pima, expressing concurrence in the objects of the cower and regrct at not being able to attend. The Secretary announced that the British Association was represented offici a lly at the present congress by Sir R. Murchison and Mr. Nassau Senior ; the National !mods. tion far the Promotion of Social Science by Morn. Has. tap end Edgar ; the Manchester Statistical Society by Xessts. Baxley, BLP., Turner, M.P., J. Heywood, sod C. R. learlds. Dr. FASIZ reed a letter from Lady Brodie on behalf of her liarbead, Ste B. Brodie, in his capacity of President of the Royal Society, stating that illness, which confined him to him house, prevented his attendance, which he much regretted. (Stamped, id. Additional.) [T WOPENCE: A list of works presented to the congress and the menus of the donors was next announced, amongst the latter Dr. Valantrop of Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Dr. Nien of Berlin, and M. 'Cheekier*. Senhor Di CADVALHO MOILEIRA then read a statement (in French) on the statistics of the Brazils, generally showing the rapid progress of the empire since its independent ex istence. M. A. Lzoorrnext read an address (also in French) as to the statistics of Frsnoe, commercial, industrial, financial, ge;CPical, mineral, governmental and judicial. h CHAIRIIIAN believed there could be but one opinion in the congress, that they owed much to the interesting report just read, and be would take that opportunity of stating that the statistical department of France was • model for all nations. Dr. E. ENGEL, director-general of the statistical depart ment of Prussia, read • statement in reference to the mine ral statistics of his country. Dr. F. G. Sctionsar, professor of the University of Konigsberg, added some interesting fact, to his colleague's statement. Dr. F. T. Biqa, director of the statistical department of Sweden, reported the Swedish statistics. Count Di &ram ie. the representative of Spain, followed with • similar report in reference to that kingdom. Lord BIOUGRAII, in calling upon Dr. Jervis, one of the delegates from the United States. took the opportunity of observing that • remark made by him on the first day ot the congress had been misinterpreted. No one who knew him for the last 60 years would, he was sure, accuse him of want of respect to the United Stater', and when he noticed on Monday ? as a statistical fact—and an important statistical fact it was—the i mence of a most respectable member from Canada, Dr. and called the attention of his excellent friend Mr. D allas to it, he only did so as he would have called his attention to the presence of any other member of the congress attending as • delegate from a distant country—to the presence, for instance, of his friend who represented the Brazils. (Hear, hear.) And, by the way, he ought in the same way to have called the attention of Count Ripaldi to the same feet, fur Some herd colonies in the New World, in which were people of various colours sad to various states of social existence and individual liberty. (Hear, bear.) Dr. Jam then proceeded to read his address. He stated that nothing was done by the central government of the United States for this purpose—all that was done was done by the load authorities of the 33 states. In 1850 • return was thus obtained of the deaths, distinguishing sex, colour, age, cause of death, kc. But this enumeration was far from being complete, some counties having failed to make any return. The result was that no data was sup plied of the rate of mortality. The friends of • complete registration system had hopes, however, of raising • south ment in the public mind in f your of their views, and then a law would be passed mad&g registration , :niulsory. Already their efforts had been attended with parti al sue cos; Mawaichusetts having made considers e progress towards collecting these useful statistics and recording them. Massachusetts had also established means for obtain ing official returns of the sanitary state of the population, which means the writer described in detail. Lord Brougham then left the chair, which was taken by Baron Czoernig. Mr. Haulms read • report . embodying the statistic, of the several Australaaian colonies. This report included a geographical account of the group, and detailed the success lerta the colonies had made since they had enjoyed the privilege of self-government to establish • perfect and scientific system of statistical records. Mr. WALLED, the Colonial Secretary of British Guiana, read a statement of the industrial and registration statistics of the colony, adding an intimation that the government of the colony, in taking the census of the population in 1861, intended to avail itself of the results of the inquiries of the present congress, and expressing his own conviction that a perfect system of notation of facts would go far to remove the impression that the climate of British Guiana was ne• cessarily prejudicial to European life. Mr. W. FIELD contributed statistics of the Cape of Good Hope down to 1857, taken from the official returns of the colonial government. He referred to the amount the colony had expended during the past three years, 170,000/., in promoting emigration from this country, awl after speaking of the importance to the colony of the addition of so much labour from the mother country, added that the capabilities of the colony to absorb labour at highly remunerative wages was more than 'coal to any supply this country could a ff ord. As showing the rapidly growing prosperity . of the colony, he quoted the statistics of the export and im ports, which appear to be increasing year by year in enor mous proportion. After some other business the congress adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock, when the sections will meet and discuss the following programme :—First section, Mr. Leone Levi's paper on "Civil and Criminal Statistics ." second section, Dr. Farts paper on " General Sanitary St atistics third section, Mr. Caird's paper on " Agricultural Sta tistics," and Mr. Donnelly's paper on "The Mode of Col lecting Agricultural Statistics in Ireland;' fourth seztion, Mr. Donaldson's paper on " Australian sfinta," and "Report of Sub-Committee on Banks ;" fifth section, "Statistics of the Annv ;" and sixth section, Mr. Valpy'a paper on " In ternational Statistical Abstracts." NATIONAL ORPHAN NOVA, NAM•CO.VMOI RICHMOND: Yesterday evening the eighth anniversary festi val of this institution, which was founded for the prep se of affording a home to destitute orphan children of all ages. clause, and denominations, from all parts of the kisgdone, was held at the Star and Garter Tavern, Richnioad. Viscount Duecaneoe was in the chair, and wan surted by a very numerous company of the friends of the rity,, including a number of ladies. This orphan aeylum, ores. tally called the Cholera Orphan Home, but now known under the more extended denomination of the Natiorial Orphan Home, was established in 1849, and took its rise from very peculiar circumstances. In that year a fearful disease swept through the land, leaving numerous orphans totally unprovided for. The existing orphan asylums were either full, or unable from other circumstances to male speeial provision for these cases of distress. The Rev. Jose* Brown had long been 1%111i0114 to found a homefor the orphan children of domestic servant, as well as for the working classes generally, and his plan having been placed before a gentleman well known for his benevolence, the late J. M. Morgan, Esq., it was thought that the opportunity was • fitting one for opening this Home, then called the Cholera Orphan Home. At Mr. Morgan's sole cost, the premises at Ham-common were purchased, and vested in trustees fee the purposes of the Home. Through the aid of charitable friends the true was at once fitted and opened for the re. ception of female orphans whose parents had diedof cholera, and thirty-six children, whose sodden and afflicting bereave ment appeared to furnish an immediate claim, were ad mitted. Tc provide • home, maintenance, clothing, and education for destitute orphans of all clauesand denomma. lions, is now the object of the institution. Orphan children of all ages are received into the Home, and allowed to remain until they reach the age of fifteen years, unleas in the meanwhile they be otherwise provided for. Thellose is open to all parts of the kingdom, and children have been admitted from Gloucestershire, Somereetahire, ahice, Wiltshire, Monmouthshire, Sta ff ordshire, W chin s Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Esser, Surrey, Swam, Kent, the City, Southwark, Chelsea, Ism. beth, It. , therhithe, Bermondsey, Blackfriars, Bethnal. green, Pimlico, Islington, Spit... Meld., Hotta; ke. Elu tion' for the admission of orphans take place half-yearly. but the committee will at all times (when there is mom) admit children, without election, by an annual o payment too of .10 to nes .15 according age. by ie one payment p ent of reesat contains newly 106 orphans, from four to fourteen years of age, and it is • matter of deep regret to the committee that they are compelled, from inadequate accommodation and want of funds, to refuse admission tomany urgent and most distressing cesee. The present buildings being very old and inconvenient, and ill adapted to the extended operations et the society, requiring frequent and considerable expendi ture to keep them in a habitable state of repair, the corn mittee have deemed it desirable, provided funds caa be obtained for the purpcee, to erect on the pre sent site a new building for 200 orphans : and they have now the pleasure to announce that the legal difficulties connected with the enfranchisement of the property having been at length overcome, the erection of the new building has been commenced. The cost is estimated at about 5,000/. end the committee therefore earnestly appeal to the ben evolent: public for assistance in their endeavour to provide • more suitable and commodious home for the poor orphans committed to their care. 'rlie objects of the charity, as above elated, were very ably art emoted by the chairman, who gave • donation of Vit.. another of 101. to the building fund, an annual eubscriptica of 21. tr. on his oven behalf, and a like one on that of Lady Dungannon. Several other gentlemen addressed the cones Ipany,stimulated by the introduction of the children tato the room, subscribed nearly 7,0001. THE FLORAL HALL. A grand floral exhibition was opened yesterday afternoon at the Floral Hall, Covent-garden, and visited by a considerable number of persons. It consists chiefly d roses, fuchsias, and cacti, all of which are in great ohm. dance. The roses are especially profuse, of great variety, and for the most part of rare excellence. A gigantic reen mound has been formed in the centre of the building. Many of the exhibitors reside at a considerable distance from the metropolis, and it is evident that the suitability of the Floral Hall for such a purpose is being increasingly rues. nised. The exhibition will be again open this afternoon. The following is a list of the first prizes awarded in cask cuss: Roam—Class 1, open to amateurs, gardeners, aid growers, for male, 81. (Messrs.

Wanimanay.—The line from this city to Yeovil, which is an extension of the London and South Western Railway, was opened by the chairman and directors this afternoon. The line from Exeter to Yeovil is 49 mile, it length, 1111 the terminus is in Queen-street, Exeter, from I whence it is intended to carry on the line to the St. David's station of the Bristol and Exetee Railway, and ultimately a mixed gauge will be laid down from this station to Crediton and on'to Bideford. An unbroken gauge from London to Exeter and the North of Devon will thus be laid down. The citizens of Exeter celebrated the opening by public rejoicings. Bands of musks paraded the streets, tradesmen closed their shops, and dis played flags and bunting of a varied character. A similar festive spirit prevailed In the various towns along the line. and at Yeovil. Axminster, Colyton, and Moulton. congratu tory addresses were presented to the chairman and directors of the line, as they passed by the stations. At Exeter, the mayor, Mr. Drake, presented no address to the directors, in which they wore heartily commtulated on the opening of a line which would he the means of re opening to the citizens the communication with the metro polis by a direct road through a populous district for many years past almost unapproachable, sal which led to the connexion of our great national arsenals, by which a great public benefit wee conferred. On the arrival of the direc tors at the Queeirstreet station, early in the afternoon, the Mayor invited them, in the name of his fellow-titizens, to a grand banquet, which took place on Northernhey. SIT/INGROURNE AND SIIEERNES. , I RAILWAY.—The opening of the Sittingbourne and Sheerness Railway, which is connected with, and will be worked by, the London.

The line is a single one, but the bridges and em bankments have all been made of sufficient width to admit of another line of rails being laid down when ever the requirements of the public necessitate it. On the arrival of the special train at Sheerness, the public who crowded the station evinced considerable satisfaction, the whole town appearing to have turned out to do honour to the occasion. The station was al.o gaily decorated witk flags, triumphal ruches and flowery, and the 4th Kent Ar tillery Volunteers, under the commen d of C a ptain Magnus, fired a salute from the batteries. banquet afterwards took place in the large waitinz-mom of the terminus, to shareholders,in,4aL The mew to the public for ma d misers and goods traffic. th w ne h e w ie l h e. li l a di ne n n u : iinehrFebsaitantPartontawYoldothipetheetidileclien,tow"ere, METROPOLIS OAS. A meeting of parochial delegates took place last evening, in the Vestry-room, Bt. James's, Piweiilly, for the purpose of reporting and considering the present position of the bill now before parliament for regulating the supply of ps in the metropolis. Mr. LANGLEY (St. Olave, Southwark) in the chair. The honorary secretary, Mr. Bent, read a report, which gave an account of the proceedings in the House of Com mon, with regard to the bill now before that house, and which bill was referred to a select committee. The report stated that a compromise was offered and refused—that the committee met en the present and the previous day, when they went through the clauses, and agreed that common gas should be charged ss. 6d., and candle gas 7s. 6d., but that in no case should the present charges be raised without the con sent of the Secretary of State. He (Mr. Bed) then informed the delegates that, although the committee was decidedly hostile to them on the previous day, their opinions were much modified to-day, and made • special report that in case no legislation on the subject took plaice this session, the government should themselves take up the matter next year. He did not despair, however, of having a compro mise effected by their agreeing to the prices regulated by the committee after nineteen days, and if that be so, a bill might yet be passed. They were formidable antagonists to contend with, representing many millions of capital, who were determined to oppose the bill at every stage, so that if • satisfactory settlement could be arrived at, it would be more to their advantage. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Beal whether the companies were allowed to pay their ten per cent, dividend. Mr. Beat replied in the affirmative. Mr. DAMEN (St. George's, Hanover-square) thought the public were giving up everything and getting nothing in return, and be for one was of opinion that they should abandon the till. They spent a large sum of money in attaining their object, but had utterly and entirely failed. Under those circumstances he moved that the bill be abandoned. Mr. Sesuron (Lambeth) seconded the motion, observing that he had paid a greet deal of attention to the subject., and from the extraordinary change which had taken place in the minds of the committee in favour of the companies he believed they had no chance whatever of passing the bill into a law. Mr. Bererotacci (St. George's, Hanoversquare) had guaranteed the payment of 2,500 f. to carry on the contest against the companies, but after what had occurred be saw no hope whatever of success. With such prices as ss. 6d. and 7s. fid. it would be useless to make a proposal in his vestry that the guarantee he had mentioned should be carried into effect, and therefore he thought it would be better to give op the bill. Mr. BEAL pointed out to the meeting the neonsity of their being very cautious in what they did, and not to be too precipitate in a matter of such great importance. He con tended that the bill might still be made • good one, and that even as it now stood it contained many excellent pro visions. If they retired from parliament with • bed grace, a committee of the House of Commons might say, You abandoned your bill last year and shall not be permitted to proceed again." They had made very good arrangements as regarded the companies with • view to prevent many of the evils which now existed, and on the whole he thought they bad better accept the bill as it would be settled by the com mittee. If it be rejected, the government would them selves being in a bill to regulate gas in the metropolis, but in his opinion the consumers of gas would be better off if the bill now before the House of Commons be adopted. With these views he moved, as • temporising rather than • decisive measure, that the honorary secretary, the hono rary.engineer, and the parliamentary agent, beauthorised to receive any suggestion affecting price on the basis of the bill as reported to the hones on the 25th June, and if in their opinion, and that of Sir J. V. Shelley, and Mr. Ayrton and 3fr. Lo cke, the bill as then altered is acceptable, they be authorised to accept the same ; if not, that they be I instructed to withdraw it. Mr. ELDREDGE (St. Pancras) seconded the amendment. Some discussion took place, in the course of which various opinions were espreased regarding the proposition of Mr. Beal ; and several gentlemen appeared to think that the best course they could adopt would be to accept the measure now before the hour, whilst others were emphatic in their I objection to a bill which (though they were originally in• . dined to rapport it) they now opposed on the ground that it had been too much altered to render it • fair represen tation of the wishes of three who desired • legislative enact ment en the subject. The amendment was ultimately v put and carried, and the it resolutio n l utio ree n wall oluti ne ors ti were then passed, expressing thanlos to various members of parliament, and to public journals for their general advocacy of the cause, and the sisstdsg saparata.
