TEE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ON POPULAR EDUCATION. MAIDSTONE, THURSDAY ErMem. The twenty-thin) annual meeting of the Canter ' bury Diocesan Education Society Ins been held at the Town hall to-day, under the prmidency of his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury. The right rev. prelate was supported by Earl Camden, Mr. Deedes, M.P., Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P., Colonel St a ut o n, Si r W a lt er Sti r li ng , and a large body atilt, gentry of the neighbourhood. Previous to the meeting the Archbishop of Canterbury and many memlioni of the society attended divine service at All Sainte Church, when a most impressive sermon, in aid of the society. was preached b' the Rev. J. C. Robertson, M.A., one of the canons of Canterbury Cathedral. The society affords the means of supporting and making grants in aid of education to schools throughout the diocese, and in consequence of the issue of the late minute by the Com mittee of Council on Education the proceeding were looked to with more than ordinary interest. The hall in which the meeting was held was completely filled, and the greatest attention was paid to the subject before them. The Archbishop of CANTERRUKY, on taking the chair at two o clock, called upon the Rev. J. Riddell, one of the boo. secretaries, to read the report of the committee for the past year. The Rev. Mr. RIDDELL then read the report, winch was of a voluminous nature, and it treated on the operations of the society during the pant year, under different heads, detailing the amount which had been expended in grants for building and repairing school.housee, providing teachers, and otherwise assisting the work of education. It strongly urged the necessity of making religion the basis of any system of national eilucatioo, and that religion conveyed to the minds of the children on the principles of the estab lished-church. Those principles had been eminently suc cessful, and they believed were such as ought to be main tained. The receipts for the year, added to a balance of 312/. Ils. 70. at the last report, were 7961. 10s. The pay ments bad been 7511. 17a. hi, leaving a Wanes in hand of 3 - did. 15s. 4.1. MA LINDSAY, M.P., ON ADMIRALTY MANAGE- ifANT . AND REPORM.

Moo ~,,, cur, a lame played Isome t emity five . ars ago at the Palais Royal, with Acharel in the principal character, was produced last night under the title of Joel •.1 All Trod., with entire sueens. The plot, comprised in two acts, is not particularly novel, and ' can be t asily told. Mr. Stapleton (Mr. J. W. Hay), the bead of ; an old firm, is in troulde at the death by drowning ..f a sou of ! his sisrammed partner, who wax to have married Violet Staple tee Miss F. Haydow • and thus retrieved the fortu n es of the ' house. Pressed by necessity, the al merchant eulists cue Toby Crank (Mr. H. Needle), a travelling tinker mid Jack of-all-trades, in his service, and induces him to persotiate the dniantal man. After a lapse of five years, we filed the marriage of the pseudo-Dalrymple real-Crank and Violet about to take place, greatly to the horror of the lady, who is its love with one Jack Hearten (Mr. W. Cmrdoe), a plearat, idle, bridle.* banister. So great is her retail(- ' mace to the match that she coulee*, the state of her feelings first to her father, and eventually to her intended husband. 1 As he loves her deeply he is at first terribly overwhelmed by the disclosure, and at first militates revenge rimiest Heart all, but au accidental meeting with his brother Joe (Mr. H. Wigan), who is going in search of him, believing him to be in India, sod who is the hearer of a letter to him from their old mother, turns him into the right path. He writes a letter in his pseudonym announcing to Mr. Sta pleton his intended suicide, which be himself delivers in hi. old tinker's dress. At this juncture a shot is beard; I be is believed by the loves to have fallen by his own band, and the curtain fall• on their happiness and his in tended return to his home and his old life.) Mr. Henry Needle, who was at the Lyceum during Madame Celeste's management, played the principal chi'. i rector in a meaner to raise him at once to a very high , 1 rack in his profession. He showed promise of becoming a really past artist in that most difficult and empty of all stage " lines," a gentleman capable of expressing his feelings alike with ease and emphasis. He reminded one of Mr. Leigh Murray in his younger days, and may probably take the place vacated by that gentleman. The piece, generally, was well acted, and the scenery% i of the second act was specially charming. i On Wednesday night, Mr. W. B. Lindsay, M.P., appeared before his Sunder Lind constituents, in the large hall of the Athecccum, Fawcett-street, to ad dress them on the various political topics of the day, and to give an account of his own particular deeds legislative. At eight o'clock the hon. member made his appearance on the platform, accompanied by Alderman Wilson, Alderman % Mama, Mr. E. C. Robson, Mr. Morrison, Mr. John Hill, Alderman Ord, and a number of others. On the entry of the party there were cheers and • few hisses. ___ The City parliament met again yesterday, pur suant to adjournment. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR presided ; and uy.on his entering the court he was received with loud cheers. Upon the table were placed the testimonials that were to be presented t o M r . H. L .

At the anneal ineetiug, held at Dudley on Mon day, of the South Staffordshire Association fur the Promo tiou of Adult Education (in union with the Society of Arta), Lord Ltrrittros presided, and spoke as follows :—This was only the second meeting of the association, and when they bore in mind its primary objects there was, be thought, great reason fur encouragement and congratulation on what bad been done. The primary object of the institution was to bring up a number of well-prepares' candidates for certain examinatiom,especially those of the Society of Arta, but much more might be done, as the report pointed out, in the way of specimen and suggestion. Them were several addi- Lineal into which the operations of such • body as this association might develop themselves, and there was no limit Mauch extension. There bad been a very marked in. crease iu the suocem of the szaminatious this year asCOMPared with those of 1860, indeed quite as much as they could ex , poet when they considered that they ball not been enjoying a good state of trade. At the lame time he must also follow the report in the expression of regret that the existeuce and prosperity of the association wee so little to be attri buted to the support of the owners of worth') anti the mauu lecturers of this neighbourhood. They bad heard from the report that there was great reason to doubt whether they would be able to continue to maintain the organising master, which was a matter of much importance. It was in the memory of many present that the association were en ouuraged and exhorted to secure the services of such an of by the great prcsperity of the model of institutions of the hied in the north of Eugland, and it would be matter kw great regret if they sh o uld have to dispense with those services. It would be like cutting off the right ram of the institution, though much might, undoubtedly, be done with out such au officer. If the resources of the meociatioushould be increased :Al(. or tot. per annum --- which, speaking at • guess, would only be a small frectioe of a penny in the pound on the district they would beside to retain the serviees of the organising master. He sincerely hoped the means of the Ns sumatiou would be augmented. A considerable part of the existing subscriptions was given towards the maintenance of the urgaiiisiog master ; but, in cues they should find them selves obliged to drop that part of their system, they would still venture to suppose that the subscriptions would be continued, in order that the committee might do the best they could for furthering the general objects of the sssocia boo. Ile did not propose to go into the general question of the utility of these institutions ; it had been explained at previous meetings, and therefore there was no necessity for him to enlarge upon the matter. There was no doubt that these undertekings did but little, compared with the pains bemused on them and the time devoted to them by some persons ; but they should remember for their mei-image meet that no attempts of the kind, if founded an right prin t:mho soil conducted in • right spu it, were wholly wasted, or anything of the kiod. (Applause.) It would be folly to my that their institution was founded on the best plan or conducted io the best way ; but if they were do anything until they were sure they were adopting the best means to secure their object, and doing their work in the best way that could be devised, they would never do anythiug at all. They ought to remember human imper fection. end to bo content with what they were able to ac complish, being, however, always glad and ready to receive may suggestion having • tendency to improve what they were diking. If they did what they could in the right spirit they would not altogether fail of success. Things weald be much worse than they were ia a populous district like this if uo such attempt as that launched by this association were undertaken. (Applause.) Well, speaking of Dudley and the neighbourhood, he, ma • resident in the county, and they too, felt some little ereesess at the way in which the district hail been spoken of lately by • per son in high authority. They dal sot in any way admit the Gamer or justice of the remarks to which he referred. Almost every the present must be aware of the extra ordinary statement which hail lately been published— & statement really so gross that be mould not allude to it more particularly. He (Load Lytteltoi) Lad been called open to take some part in counteracting the effects of that statement. (Applause.) It woe not only promulgated by • person of high authority as the result of his owe impinge or as the substance, of hie own opinion, hat he called into the witoese box every magistrate of the district to support it, and the meeting would be aware that every magistrate in the district, on the contrary, published under his (Lord Lytteltini%) 'ruction, which they were kind enough to ask, • contradiction of the statement. (Applause.) The contradiction received great publicity, lwei than the original amertmo hail done. He tiarrthey bad thought it desirable—indeed, he knew from the vicar of the push—that if they had deemed it necessary, they would have given the statement a more undeniable enotrailictiou than it actually received, but what he wished to point out was that the contradic tion was given in the most direct and most public manner, and that no notice had been taken of it by him from whom the original statement proceeded; therefore he felt justified in saying that the libel, for he must call it a libel, oo the people of that district bad been entirely put ea end to and destroyed by the denial that had been pub lished. (Applause.) There was very little good to be de rived from comparing together different parts of the same country, and endeavouring to ascertain which is the worst and most deserviug of blame, (Hear.) The truth was that there was a great deal that was bad in that district, and there was a great deal that was bad in other places. if they were • to make comparisoos at all, the fair way was to compare the best they could meet with in • district like that with the best they could tad in other districts, and especially with regard to the young and tieing generation. He was in the habit of travelling about the district • good deed, and saw, as anybody else could see, a good deal that was bad on the surface, but he did not see there what he could not see elsewhere. It had bees his agreeable lot to attend other meetings like the one of that evening in the town of Dudley ; he had hesa present at meetings to promote prise schemes, mid at various meetings connected with the schools and education of the district, and he had often observed by a very good test, which was the appearance and countenances of the young people Moe& together, that there was no in feriority in their appeamses, manners, deportment, or ex pression of couoteuancm compared with those features in any other Hof the country that he had ever seen. (Ap plause.) He, therefore, entertained good hope that in the midst of tliegreat evils that existed around them in popu lous places like Dudley, there was a good deal of good going se, and be trusted that the efforts of those who were en. deavouring by such institutions as this to rails the eduis. timid position of the people would meet their due reward, and that the appearances of good to which lie hail referred would develop to such an extent as would meet their foulest hopes and expectations.

Corot-MARTlAL.—Yesterday a court-martial assembled on board the flag-ship Victory, at Portaniouth, to try Elijah Kemp, a marine, for stealing a puree coo. taming four sovereigns, the property of Mr. t. E. Disks, master's assistant on board that ship. It appear► that on the 2iith of Sept. prisoner was a *entry in the cockpit, and that the young gentleman who lost the money placed his purse on his chest, it being in his trousers pocket. The next morning a boy belonging to the sank, ship saw the empty purse floating alongside the ship. The money was also missed by Mr. Drake. Suspicion fell on prisoner, and he was questioned, but he denied all knowledge of the purse. He was afterwards taken into the signal cabin by Mr. Hodges and searched, when in one stock ing two sovereigns were found, while another was discovered sticking to his leg. A fourth was shaken from Lis shirt. He said while putting up his hammock he picked up the purse, threw it away, and kept the sovereigns. The charge being fully brought borne to prisoner, he was called on for his defence. He had nothing to say, or any one to speak as to his previous character, and therefore re quired no time to prepare hie defence. The court cleared, and after an hour mid a hair. delibera tion found the prisoner guilty, awl adjudged him to be reduced to the second class for conduct, to receive forty eight babes, and to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in W inchoate& Gaol for six calendar months. The court compewed Captain Wilwo, Captain A. Cum ming, Captain Hoc. A. Cochrane, C. 8., Captain itoehfort Hawaii.% and Captain Jinni J. Napier, C.H.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Warrior inn screw frigate at noun to-day, and at balf•past 12 o'clock embarked es board the Fire queen stami-vessel, and proceeded to Hurst to aspect the fortifications in the dolma. WOOLWICH, OcT. 3. The troops in garrison assembled on the common this day, fix inspection by the commandant, Major-General Sir R. Decree, K.C.B. The proceedings were uodenitood to be a rehearsal in anticipation of a visit from the Grind Duke Constantine. As DO previous intimation bad been given, the number of spectators was comparatively limited, but the evolutions turned out were of a moat iutereitiug nature and occupied souse hours. At the termination of the proceedings, which included the details cf a sham tight, and exhibited the moist skilful movement., of attack, defence, and pursuit, the commandant and stall proceeded to the Royal Military Repository, where a series of experiments were tried on the ornamental water, fur the purpose of tast ing some improvements recently effected in pontoon bridges. After leaving the garrison General Decree, awl other often, proceeded to the Royal Arsenal, and witnessed the proving of several Armstrong guns. Moms weeks since the coroner's jury who attended the inquvit held upon Benjamin Bradshaw, a priv.ite of Royal Marines, who was killed at the government practice range whilst acting as a marker for volunteers, pronounced io their verdict a strong opinion that the government mantlets behind which the makers ere screened were unsafe, and the coroner was directed to write to the military authorities requesting that no more rifle practice should be allowed to be carried on until an alteration had been made. Notwith• standing this recommendation, the same inantlets are still used, and the markers are still exposed to the rick of being shot by some incompetent marksmen, or one who mistakes hie target and Ares from a wide range. The defects in the existing mantles admit of a must simple yet efEcieut remedy, and it is somewhat surprising that the military authorities have taken no steps in the matter. CHATHAM, Oct : 3. The WeHealey, 72, Captain Fa7ol.awii, at the port, is to be used as a training ship for boys sod lads entered for her Majesty's service. About zoo boys and lads are to be transferred to her from the other ships, about 150 of whom have already joined her. The Defence, 22, iron fragste, is being fitted at this dock yard with Cunningham's patent topsails, under the direction of the inventor. The Resistance, 2'2, at Sheerness, is also to be . fitted with the same invention . . . . . . . The Duke Constantine, of Hum*, tv expected to visit Chatham to morrow to inspect the garrison, dockyard, and other goveramont eatablishmente. THEATRICALS IN HOLY WEEK.---In future the compulsory closing of the theatres in Lent is to be limited to Good Friday. The announcement of this chmige was officially made on Monday last at the special annual court held at St. James . ..palace, by the Lord Chem's:dein, for the purpose of granting the yearly licensee to the theatres. All the Loudon managers were present, and the Lord Chamberlain informed them of the determination which the executive had arrived at, and which would be set forth in their licenses. The managers having briefly st rewed their grateful thanks for the indulgence, withdrew. We believe that the matter, which had been long under con sideration, was first mooted by Mr. John Douglas., who' pointed out the injury which the old restriction inflicted upon the poorer employes of the theatres.

It represents the original precisely es be !Seared at kis trial FEMALE ORFIIART HAY Lt - M, WESTMINSTER-ROA Di , The quarterly plural court was held yesterday. Mr. Carr its the chair. The new secretary, Mr. Booth, officiated for the first time. There was au unusually large attendance. The chairman said he was pleased to see so numerous an attendance. The governors had seen with regret that for acme time past the expenditure of the charity had exceeded its Income from annual subscriptions and donations, and they had been compelled to draw upon the legacy fund for the deficireacy. An audit committee had been iiinted, but its report was not yet reedy. Messrs. G. C. DM/Dar t H. Pigeou, C. Browning, D. Kidd, and E. Slee were then elected members of the general committee. The Hey. Stephen Bridge, of Deorrutrk Chapel, and the Rev. Mr. Chevasee, were elected life guardians. The *screwy an. emceed that during the past quarter several legacies had been left to the institution, among others one of 1,0001. by the late Mr. R. Forrest, payable on the death of Mrs. Forrest. A donation of 1,00111. had also been revived from the Rev. George Gaineford, on behalf of himself and Kim tleindord. The court then dissolved. The Rev. Mr. Sums, diocesan inspector, read his re port, which stated that the number of children attending the schools during the year was 12,814, being a diminution of those above 10 years of age of 2 per oeut. The opera tions of the society had been most satisfactory. The Earl CAMDEN rose to move that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated with the other docu ments of the board, and in doing so, said he believed the meeting would agree with him that the principles it enunciated were such that any one who head it, and three throughout the country who read it, would cordially ogres with it. Whatever might be the regulations under the Committee of Privy Council on Education, or whatever alteratioos might be made in their present school system, he trusted their boys and girls would still continue to be brought up ,in • strictly religious education. The laity could do little to moist the clergy, who had taken upon themselves the trouble and expense of providing education for the poor, but what they could do they would moat cheer fully, and they could not do better than by aiding them iu increasing evening schools, where children might obtain that instruction which through being called upon to go to work they were necessarily obliged to curtail. Mr. DEEDEK seconded the adoption of the report just_pro posed by the noble earl, and said that society bad We* established for the purpose of giving the children of the poor • souud, useful, and a religious education in the prin ciples of the established church, and he trusted that no temptation whatever that could be offered to the members of their society would ever induce them to depart from those principles, as he believed that on uo other system could education be successfully carried on in this Christian country. The Archbishop of eta - ruiner put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. GATHORNE HARDT moved the second resolution— " That Mr. Deedes and the Rev. John Hodpou be the auditors fur the year; Mr. A. Mott, Mr. W. Mott, Mr. Burr*, Mr. W. Carter, Major G. Deedes, Mr. D. Deane, Mr. J. D. 8. Douglas, and Culooel Cater be requested to be lay members of the b o ard fur the ensuing year. The motion was then put and agreed to, sod after some formal resolutions hail been put, Earl CAMDEN moved, and Mr. HARDT seconded, • vote of thanks to the Archbishop of Canterbury for presiding on that occasion, which was unanimously agreed to. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he was pleased at the compliment which they had pealed on him, and at his being able once more to appear in that mom, to nee the great additional interest which was felt in the cause of edu cation. The subject was one of the greatest importance, and recent circumstances had that day brought it more pro minently before them. There was • proposition for a re visal of the national grants, but be could not say whether or note revisal was necessary, but there was one part of the present system which had been over-rated. He did not think it would be possible to employ so large a number of pupil teachers as had been produced of late years, and although they had been drafted into other situations, it was not the intention of the state that they should become pentioners upon it. As to the present system, it was not extraordinary that after so many years it should require revision. He trusted that in any change which might be made that opt which was really useful would not be diminished, and the pub lica tions of the last two or three weeks clearly showed that they might mitigate the severity of the subject, by bringing it down to the standard of common sense. As the atten tion of parliament would be called to it, he trusted some good would come to the cause of education. He believed that a great deal had been done iu the manufacturing dis tricts by the agency of Sunday schools, fur the teaching of the children in them served to mitigate the character of the parsata. He mentioned that his predecessor could scarcely go into Manchester without arms in his carriage, but now all was peaceable, and although there bad been a want of employment, yet there had been no disturbance for the last twelve or fourteen years, which he attributed to the spread of education. His Grace then pronounced the bene diction, and the proceedings terminated. TEE REGISTRATIONS. _ _ MARYLEBONE Yestenlay Mr. Tyrrell held hiv court at the St. Pancras Vestry-ball, Gentles-town. The conservative party had, through their objector-general, Mr. James Martin, of Liuon-grove North, objected to some 150 or 160 voters who had been un the register for yam, and of whom a large majority were present to defend thew right. Mr. W. Albert James, of 40, Parliament street, ap peared to support them, and he was aided by Mr. Douglas and other members of one of the St. Pancras Parochial Au*. ciations. Mr. Henry Smith, secretary of the Conservative Registretion Associatiou, of Nurfolk-street,Strand, attended as the agent of Mr. Martin. The learned Barrister said that on the previous 4+13 , 14 the Marylebou court a question had been raised upon a antics of objection, signed by a Mr. Martin, against which be had, on behalf of the objector, been asked to grant a case of appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. He had well COlllll. doted the matter, he had consulted with one of his col leagues upon the point, sad had come to the determinationof not granting such appeals. He considered that Mr. Martin was deserving of no consideration whatever. Martin had appeared before him to prove his identity with the signa ture attached to the notices, and stated that he had signed a great number of these objections, several hundreds, at the instigation of Mr. Henry Smith, but that the parties against whom he had objected were totally unknown to him. This was a most serious proceediug, for in signing so many notices he made himself liable for a heavy sum of penalties for groundlege objections. It seemed to him (the Revising Barrister) a monstrous evil that any person should, without consideration, put hundreds of the elector' to senous inconvenience and trouble in attending these courts. He certainly should do all in his power to carry ouf the act of parliament, and protect the voters against this unwarrantable system of annoyance. In any further cases brought before him upon objections, though the objector might not choose to appear, the re ceipt of the notice of objection being proved by the parties, he should, guided by the 46th section of the Registration Act, award the full amount of costa, 20a. in each case, against the objector, as having made or attempted to sustain a groundless or frivolous and vexatious objection. He would now proceed with the business of the day. Mr. Smith—l appear here on behalf of Mr. Martin, and I beg The Barrister—lie is not now before the court, and I decline to Mar you. Mr. Smith—After the remarks you have made I must in sist upon being baud. Mr. James submitted that there was vet no case before the court upon which Mr. Smith could be head. The Barrister—l have already made several orders for costs upon Mr. James Martin to be paid here this morning. Is he present Y iNo reply.) Mr. Smith again attempted to address the court. Barrister—When Mr. - Martin is before the court you can " C r iimith —Sir, I did not anticipate such a reception. I came here to represent Mr. Martin ; I desire to reply to your remarks. Barrister—l sit here as the judge of this court. The re marks I have made are in the nature of a judgment deli vered upon an application for • case of appeal against my decision, and I decline to hear any remarks in reply thereto. When a case is before me in which Mr. Martin is concerned you can appear. Mr. Smith (indignantly)—l did not anticipate this treat ment ; it is beyond all precedent. I attended here for Mr. Martin, but after the course you have thought fit to adopt I shall not remain or appear at all. I wish you • very good day. Mr. Smith then packed up his papers and left the court amidst general laughter. The list of persons objected to was thee called over, and all purest having their notices with them, on proving their receipt, were supplied with • written order made by the barrister upon the objector for the payment of Mt costs in each case, to be made at the sitting of the court at St. Parser's Vestry-hall, this day I Fridiy). The whole of the comer/stirs objections have thus _ Alderman Wn.sos having been called to the chair, briefly introduced Mr. Lindsay to the meeting. The HoN. 111111119KII in the course of his speech said they might remember that the question—wooden versus iron ships —was one which had been occupying the attention of the House of Commons a considerable time. They might know the fact that • neighbouring power, for these last six years, had ceased building wooden ships entirely for the purposes of war, and had devoted its attention to the constructi on solely of iron-cased ships. The experience which we had in the Cnmean war had proved that the time had gone by for those large line-of-battle ships, yet our government had been going on building great hoe-of-battle ships ever since that time up to the present moment. A resolu tioo, however, was brought forward by himself, and the building of those great hulks, or line-of-battle ships, had to • great extent now ceased. In fact, they were be ginning to turn the other way, for he found, just as he was leaving town, a notification from the Admiralty of eight wooden ships of war which were to be sold. (Laughter.) Now, this led him to• question which had been a very vexed question during the last session 'of parliament. It was the rivalry in arms between England and France. Scientific men said to the Admiralty that in some respects France was likely to move ahead of us in iron ships. Well, that might be very true, but if they bad got into error whose fault was it It was the fault of the government not using their money in the proper quarter, and for the right article. Well, we had now jumped into it, and just before the House rose, besides the vote of 12,000,500 f., they took a vote of 250,0001., being the instalment of 2,000,0001. for the building of six more Warriors. He said, at all hazards, we must maintain our maritime superiority. (Loud cheering.) But it was a most lamentable fact, that as we spent, France spent —as France spent, we spent ; and when we, perhaps, had got 100 Warriors, France might have got 75, and the relative position of the country was exactly the same as it was then and was now. What was the value of our Foreign-office, or our ambassadors abroad, if they did not endeavour to come to some under standing, and put • stop to that tomfoolery? (Hear, bear, and cheers.) But was it the case that France was marching onwards at such rates, that France had ioteutious of invading England? Why, it was an idle dream. It was a cry got up to tax them fur the benefit of others. From an analysis, the hon. gentleman showed that while we were spending 13,000,01101. on our army end navy, the expenditure of Frame upon her army and navy, in all its branches, did nut exceed 5,000,0001. How then, he asked, could France be marching ahead of us in maritime superiority if we were spending more than double what she was doing? Mr. Lindsay went on to refer to the navigation laws, remarking that beyond the repeal of the differential dues, nothing had been done on that question. He complained of • similarly unsatisfactory result with respect to the reciprocity duties and belligerent rights. Nothing had been done in reference to the liability of shipowners' question, light dues, compulsory pilotage, which, in justice to the shipping interest, ought to lave been dealt with by the present government. (Hear.) As to international questions, no government had given the re quired amount of attention. (Hear, hear.) The terrible civil war in America had deliyed the settlement of mari time affairs between our country and the States, but he i had no doubt when order was restored, the matter* discussed during his visit to America would be satifactorily dealt with. The hon. member then referred to the cotton difficulty, and said that if cotton could nut be got down from the plantations to the depots before the rainy season came on they would not get it in Englund next season, sod until the blockade was removed cotton certainly could not leave the plantations. Now, as it would be some time before cotton was received from India, Jamaica, and elsewhere, he considered it the duty of our government to endeavour to induce the Federal government in the cause of humanity to remove the blockade. (Cheers.) Considering the bold stand made by the Con• federates, and the strength of the South, he thought it almost time that the governments of England soil France thought of recognising the independence of so numerous a body of people. (Cheers, and some hisses.) It wax evident that the North was not sincerely anxious to abolish slavery, which would never be removed by a servile war. The separation of North and South was much more likely so aeoomplish she objeot. (f yeer. hoar.) In conclusion, the boo. gentleman said he would endeavour to do his duty, and carry out the principles upon which he was elected two years ago. (Loud cheers.) Mr. E. C. Roosos moved a vote of confidence in Mr. Lindsay, in a humorous speech. The motion was seconded by Mr. TAYLOR Torre, who announced himself a right down radical, and said he wished the present government turned out of otitis. The resolution woe put, and carried amidst loud cheering. The meeting shortly sites wards broke up. REPRESENTATION OP PLYMOUTH. The Hon. W. W. Addington, the conservative candidate for Plymouth, addressed the electors on Tuesday evening. The Western Morning News thus IRIDIUM speech :—" Mr. Addington said that he was nut averse to moderate reform whenever the fitting time arrived. He avowed himself an attached member of the church of Eng laud, and he believed that the church was entitled, by long-continued custom, to the payment of church rates, but he thought that it would be to her interest to give up a claim which now produced more harm than advantage. The shipping interest naturally occupied a large portion of the address. The hon. candidate holds th►t no legislative enactment would abolish the evils of which British ship owners complain, but that representations should be made to foreign courts with • view of obtaining redress. Mr. Addington is alarmed at the increase of our notiolial expenditure, which, however, he considers to he less in proportion than the increase of our population. He be lieve* that in the navy great improvements might be effected, which would reduce the cost without impairing the efficiency of that branch of our service. He con siders the expenditure on fortithations will be to a great extent wasted ; tool that the money thus laid out would have been much mole useful if spent in providing iron-cased ships. In the face of French armaments, and considering the uocertain and volatile character of our neighbours, he deems it necessary to maintain the efficiency of our army and navy. He looks upon national education as tine of the most important topics that could engage our attention ; but he his not been able fully to con sider the last olucatimuil minute since its promulgation, and he did not, therefor*, express his opinion upon it. He is not ambitious of entering parliament; but if sent there he would devote his beet energies to parliamentary duties. In reply to a question respecting the Permissive Bill, Mr. Addingtou said—An elector has asked my opinion upon the Permissive Bill. I confess that not having beard that such a measure ems before parliament, I did not think it incum bent upon tne to allude to it in my address. But as the ques tion hint been put tome I must distinctly state that I think I could not hooestly give my support to arty such thing as the Permissive Bill, as it has been brought before n:e since I have been in this town. (` Hear, hear,' and loud hurrahs.) I consider the right of the poor man to his glees of beer as dear to him as it is to rue. (Tremendous cheering.) I hope no gentleman will misunderstand rue. I du not for one moment say that it should be takuu to moms, for I hate this, knowing as I do, in my position us a magistrate, how many crimes are caused by drunken ness ; but still I say the honest labouring artisan has a right to his glass of beer, and should not be denied it.. (Renewed applause, and cries of ' You have wed 470 votes by that.')" JEWEL AUCTION. THZ NEW CRT HARKETS. Mr. Crumpr said that, seeing the Chairman. of the Markets Improvement Committee in his phico, ho should be glad to be informed by bun, as the subject wee one of very great importance, not only to the citizens residing in Smithfield and the neighbourhood, but also to the public generally, what wee the present state of affairs with regard to the dismarketing of Newgatemarket, anti the erection of the new meat market? He was the more induced is men tion the subject because many parties were surprised at the delay that had taken place in corning to a conclusion upon this important matter. Mr. H. L TAYLOR said be was happy to inform the honourable member that a report would very shortly be brought forward by the Markets Improvement Committee, of which he had the honour to be chairman, that he be lieved would be found satisfactory, not only to the citizens of London, but to the public at large. (H ear , h ear .) H e wee not s urprised at the complaint of delay, but he was at the same time equally well assured that every one at all conversant with the subject must be perfectly well aware that it was one of considerable difficulty, and involved many most important considerations. (Hear, hear.) Among them was that of, while providing for the accommodation and convenience of the trade and the public, at the same time to prevent any unnecessary expeoditure of the City cash, and he could assure them that this portion of the subject required a great deal of consideration. (Hear, hear.) The illness of the City solicitor had also been an ingredient in causing thedebsy, but he was h..ppy to inform them that he was now very much better, and he believed that with his assistance, the committee would be enabled at an early day to lay a full report upon the sub ject of the new market, which was one undoubtedly of vital importance, not only to the Corporation of London, but to the community at large, before the court, and ample oppor tunity would be afforded for discussing it. (Hear.) THE LONDON HDILZ VOLUNTEER BRIOADF. Mr. Deputy LLOYD presented a petition from the rem. nusnding officer and the members of the Committee of the London Rifle Volunteer Brigade for the use of the Guild hall, on any day shortly after the 9th of November next. (Lord Mayor's Day), for the purposes of a ball in aid of the funds of the brigade. Several mooder* of the corps in uniform appeared at the bar in support of the petition. Mr. 13. L. TAYLOR said be should be very sorry to he supposed to be in any way adverse to the volunteer move meat, but he really doubted whether it was advisable that the court should grant the applicatiou. The petition pur ported to emanate from the commanding officer and others connected with the London Rifle Brigade, and he should be glad to be informed, iu the first instance, who the com manding officer was? Alderman Ron (who holds the commission of major in the London Rifle Volunteer Corps) said that at present he tilled that position. (Rear, bear.) Mr. TATLOR Ablerrnan Nord—Than von have a supe rior officer Alderman Rosa —I have a superior officer, but he is not here, and in his absence I am in commend. Mr. TATtoft then said that be believed that there was a similar ball last year, and he should be glad to be informed what amount of prat was realised" One of the members of the corps, who was in attendance in support of the petition, said that the net profit was about 1601. _ _ _ Deputy Lary said that the only objection be anw to granting the petition was that it might interfere with the business of the courts of law, which commenced on the 15th of November. Mr. H. L Tartoe repeated hhi opitiou that it was not advisable for so small • sum as 1601. to interfere with the public business, as nothing was done in the different offices .4 the corporatioo between Lord Mayor's day and the day for holding the ball, and it appeared to him that it would be better for the corporation to vote the sum mimed, although he did not say that he should support ouch a proposition —(laughter)—rather than grant permission for the Guild hall to be used for such a purpose. Alderman DARIN, in a humour-atm and effective speech. ammo ted the petition, and said that a lthou g h only a small amount had been realised at the last ball be believed that the rouse of this was that many persona were kept away from fear of there being a great crowd, and that the pro posed ball for this year would lead to much more satisfactory restate io a pecuniary sense. Tire petition was thee agreed to. THZ CORPORATION PUNDII. Mr. CHAPLIN next brought forward a motion :—"That it be referred to a committee to inquire whether it is advisable for this court to make grants of money to insti tutions out of the city, and further, if any, and what rules, regulations, and laws, should he made fur the guidance the court, in making such grants fur the future, and to report thereon forthwith, with such roconumenthitious as they may think fit." Mr. Deputy Fla supported the motion, and said that the Corporation of London bad on many oecasions granted large sums of money to charitable institutions. undoubtedly of very valuable and useful character, but which were not in any way connected with the City of London, while they I were obliged to refuse, or to give only small sums to others, equally useful, sod devoted to equally good objects, that were within the City. It appeared to him that the real question was whether the corporation as a municipal body, and dispensing municipal funds, ought not to devote more of these funds to the charities that really belonged to them, and less to other charitable institutions with which they were in no way connected. Mr. H. L. Teruo', and several other members of the court, expressed their opinion that they ought not to be toned in m►tters of this description to any particular course, and that every application fur pecuniary assistance should stand upon its own merits, and, eventually, the motion was negatived. The court shortly afterwards adjourned. ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL. The ainiveraary of thin excellent charity, which was founded in 1738, was celebrated yesterday at the school, Haverstock-hill. Since last year considerable alterations have been made iu the building, which now actually accom modates lGt) toys and al girls, and is capable of receiving 44.10 pupils whenever sufficient funds are subscribed for the Illehlteuauce and education of that number. improvements have been introduced into the arratigementa of the institu tion with a view to increase the comfort of the children in every respect, and amongst the measures adopted to pro mote the heath of the inmates, as well as to secure their attachment to the school, are • tepid swimming bath for the boyA, and separate plots of ground placed under the care of the iuilustrious and well-behaved scholars of either sex. The children were yesterday publicly examined in the morn ing ill the presence of the governors and subscribers of the iteditution,and in the evening before their f riends and relatives, and aoluitted themselves on both occasions to the satisfac tion of the examiners, with whom they had had no previous rehearsal, no less than to the satisfaction of their friends and the supporters of the charity. At the clone of the examination in the morning, Mr. J. Mahn, the President of the association, who occupied the chair, addressed a few words to the pupils, congratulating them upon the readiness and accuracy of their replies, and urging them while they paid attention to those studies by which they would be enabled to obtain thereafter remu neration for their labours, not to neglect tho..e principles of morality and religion, of honesty awl iutegrity, which went inculcated by their masters and mistresses, and by which alone they could ultimately succeed in life or obtain the respect of others.
