The last appearance id Madame Grisi—positively the last, sad no mistake- before the metropolitan public, was certainly as occurrence of singular interest, and, as such, has beam turned to preamble account by the alert di. rector* of t►e Crystal Palace Company. The announcement In them of a "Orki Farewell Festival," following closely upon the snow of her leave.laking at Covent-garden Theatre. was a piece of politic nieramamg, and has been attended with the success which it premised.

Plat 0 1 'togtM " Esetival " at the Crystal Palace yeateelay was full of intereet. The indite of visitors was immease; the reception which they gave to the object of their parting homage was enthusiastic ; and the whole acme was highly gratify jog. When we have said this we have said all ; nor, indeed, could anything more have been expected. The concert, considered simply as a musical per • fornmece, was of a very ordinary description. The performers were, without exoeptioo, members of the company of the Royal Italia. Opera ; the pieces were eelected from the riprioirt at that theatre; and the whole of the music could have been heard to infinitely greater advantage IMAM the wails of Covent.gaiden Theatre than in the centre traasept of the Crystal Palace, where the whole of it was reodered weak aid iseffeelim, sad • pest deal of it entirely lost, by the vaginae, of the's:papas, which the united strength of the orchestra was unable to fill, and in which the single voices--and Asides& instruments, except. ins the drums and the trombones—were often quite inau dible. The menet was in every respect immeasurably interim to the weekly opera co•ced. at the Crystal Palace during t►e senses ; for thee, piwformusoes, betides being much mere varied, have fawn place is • locality properly fitted for sock a pones*.

THE WESLEYAN CONZIPErsXCE. On Tuesday there vreee two sittings of this con ference, at Drafted& Chepal, Neweeette. The morning sitting was chiefly occupied With the questorm of ministerial character. The mod reportable Weiner wee the introduc tion b the Rev. W. Arthur, M.A., to the conference, of Bi shop Janes, of the Methodist Episcopal Church of America. He was most cordially received by the assembled ministers, sod the president of the conference hearth shook him by the timid, amidst much applause. The venerable bishop de livered a lengthy and interesting address, in the course of which he gave an outlier' of the present position andirreeperes of the Methodist Episcopal Chamber America. He bore a fra ternal letter from the conferenoto of that chureh. Since May, liioo,there had been an interval of great trial; but the pulpier had been one of considerable presperity. The increase elf membership amounted to 27,000. During the year they bed built nine churches per: week ; and the increase in tee pro pert, of the church was three quartets of a million. Their miseicioary income had advaocA. The missionary collections had exceeded three of the preceding year, and they had in creased their appr op riation of grants for the mission work by more than 20,000 dollars. Since the war broke :lax ! before he left New York, some of the luirtiotal7 bad been unable to meet their liabilities, and had t= of calling home some of their mirsionariee ; the Me Episcopal Church, however, far from that, had since the commencement of these disiTultias sent out additional EDUCATION IN IRELAND.—The annual report of the Commissiosers of Education io Ireland for 1a50.1 to the Lord lieutenant has been published. The report says :—" In rekTellei to the course of instruction in the royal schools (which are those under our more immediate control), we beg to report to your Exoelleocy that, with the assistance and advice of certain Fellows of Trinity College (our *ht to do so being in this case undisputed), we have prescribed as a qualification for the competitive examination for the royal scholarships founded by us, an ex tensive course of study in English literature, is well as in science and modern languages, in addition to the former requirement., which were more coufined to classical studies. This sew curriculum is now in °pendia), sod has met with the marked approtetroo of the toasters of those schools to which the royal scholarships are attached. And although at the competitive examination held by parties specially appointed for that purpose all cannot succeed in obtaining the prizes, we are of opinion that the unsuccessful candidates will derive much advantage from the necessary study, and that the benefit of this new and more extensive course of education may have ell improving effect on the general body of pupils attending these school,." The remainder of the report is taken up with reference to the present condition of the royal schools at Enniskillen rod Dungannon, sod of the Limerick District Diocesan SchooL UNIVERSITY COLLION HOSPITAL —At a meeting of the committee yesterday, and at • previous meeting on the 17th July, votes of special thanks were passed as follows :—To the Right Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Londoe, for the eloquent sod successful appeal on behalf of the charity made by his lordship, at St. Matthew's Church, Oakley-square, on Sunday, the 21st July ; to the Rev.

LUNACY REGULATION BILL. On the motion that the house should go into committee , on the Lunacy Regulation Bill (Lords), Mr. WALPOLE and ' Mr. HEELYT urged various objections to its provisions, and protested against proceeding with a bill of this importance (which hail been lying on the table since April) at so late a period of the session, and in the absence 11 those mem- ' bars who were most competent to advise the house on the • subject. 1 Colonel FRENCH moved as an amendment that the coin. mitten should be postponed for three months. Sir G. C. Lewis and the SOLICITOS•OLA rEA L opposed the amendment, and called upon the house to proceed with the 'Lill. After some conversation, the amendment was carried without A diViiioo.

CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATIIIN) BILL.— THE VOTE FOR THE VOLUNTEERS. On the circler el the day for the third reading of this Lill, Lord ELCHO mid he had given notice of a question for i some information as to the way in which the volunteer vote i was to he expended. He had, however, reason to believe that the details of the plan were not quite settled, and an the Seeretary for War had only just acceded to office, it would perhaps be well that no answer should be gives to the question now. He trusted, however, that as soon as the details were settled a War-office order would come out, and that the public would be put into poineedon of every information on the point. The vote was 190,01.10/.. but he thought that the volunteers were charged with more than could fairly be said they put the country to the expense of. They were charged with a large item for arms which bad' been trued to them, and which would otherwise have been in the Tower or some other depository. They were also charged with 64.0001. for ammunition. though he did not I think that they ought fairly to be charged with more than 24.0001. Mr. lIUMBERSTON said he hoped that any assistance i which the government might be disposed to give would date from the commencement of the financial veer. Sir G. C. LEW IS mid if his hoc. friend had put the question to the Under Secretary who bail just left the be would have received a saiesfecto answer. With to this vote 10,000 t warn for p aid adjutants and 20,0001. fix chill sergeants. The Imager was only is fact for six months, so that if taken foe the whole year it would be equivalent to a vote of double the amount. The vote had bees agreed to het a sheet time, and there had not been au oppa nity of settlingthe details. These were now under disacmk, and would shortly be agreed upon. Seine farther coevenatioe took place relative to the neer Isalsekvaset, which, however, left the matter whew it reeled after Mr. Comper's reply, before gii en.

On the question of the oonshieration of the Lords' reasons for disagreeing with the particular previsions of this Illaware, the chief clerk read the Lords' raison. for disagree meat, but announced that their lordships would be content with ng on the amendment which decided that the := 4; tof a chief judge was unnecessary.

Although the government retained the opinions they eesentently expressed in favour of the appointment of a chief judge, still it was their duty to consider whether even without this provision there was riot that amount of excellence and that degree of improvement on the existing system in the bill which woad induce parliament to accept it, mutilated sad shorn as it was, rather than have no measure at all. Under these circumstances the government hail come to the conclusion to advise the house not to insist on their amendment about the chief judge, but prac tically to accept the bill with the modifications introduced by the Lords. (Dear, hear.) Should the house agree to this be would subsequently move certain verbal amendments. Mr. It. CRAWFORD sail he hail no doubt that the Lord Chancellor would Sod great practical difficulty in working the bill. The responsibility would, however, rest upon thine who had mutilated the bill in its pewee ' through the upper house. The Mousse( Lords *maned to think that it was not necessary that the Mishima of the Court of Bankruptcy should be administered by a judge of high legal attainments. He hoped, flowerer, in practice if it were found that the bill would not work, that parliament would in a future session deal with the subject, and that no senile obstinacy in another place would prevent the adoption of an ' efficient law of bankruptcy. (Hear, bear.) ' Mr. BOVILL said the boo. gentleman who spoke bat ' seemed to have forgotten that the law was at present ad ' ministered by gentlemen of great legal acquirements, who ' had also an experience of 30 years to guide them. It should also be remembered that the best proof of the satisfactory manner in which they had done their work was to be found is the fact that but forty-two appeals to the Lords Justices had been made in thirty years against their decieims.

The new Chief Secretary for Ireland was re elected for this borough yesterday without opposition. The election proceedings took place in the Towu•hall at eleven o'clock, in the presence of u numerous an audience u the building could accomniodate. air Robert Peel walked down fres the Peel Arms, escorted by a smell retinue of his principal supporters. The preliminary election formalities having been gone through, 117: THOMAS BRAM ALL, a magistrate of the borough Dominated the Right Hon. Sir Hobert, Peel as a fit and proper pigeon to represent the ,borough in parliament. In doing so he said that he believed a more fit man could Dot be found in the United Kingdom ; the constituency wanted a man of talent, ability, and honesty. All those qualities their late member powered in lAD eminent degree, and was therefore not only fit, but very fit to be their represen tative. Mr. WILLIAM Roamoott seconded the nomination. The Mayor immediately rose, and was about to declare the right hoc. baronet duly elected, when Mr. ou, of Fawley, rose and upraised a wish to put a question May to the candidate. The Mayor, anxious possibly to gat his officiel duty over. did not at first pay attention to the interruption, but Sir Robert himself interposed, sod expressed a wadi to answer any question, whereupon Mr. Mum: said—Sur Robert, you voted against the repeal of the paper dolly. I wish to know if your opinions are still the manse on that point. If they are, how can you consis t/ally remain egareted with the sod how do =• yew @gadget ea that word with your pee as a bet trader ? Sir Rooter Plat. replied—l did vote against the repeal of the paper duty, and for reasons which 1 ma easily explain. Last year I di d not vole at all, though 1 disapproved of the proposal to repeal this duty in the circumstances in which the country was then placed. This year I voted against the measure, chiefly oo the ground that with so much that was threatening in Europe I thought it undesirable to remit a tax by doing which we made au income tax nine pence instead of e4htpence. It would be disgraceful to me if I was aofaithfal to the principles of free trade, seeing as I have done the inestimable blessings which it has a:earful upon the country. But I thought, and still think, that the moment was inopportune, when we were obliged to continue so oppressive and bukliensonie a tax as the income tax, to attempt the repeal of the paper duty ; and I believe the feeling of the country was much divided on the question. Al to my continuing to hold office, why I have only just accepted office. (Cheers.) The Maws then declared the right bun. baronet duly elected, amidst much applause. Sir R. Pete. rose to make his acknowledgmeate. In doing no, he said that he wee INN doll* 11.7111140 Of tie honour they lad spin 00Of Med Ipso Mu bypig him as one of their Twassatativis p ar t imissi, rbe took it . . . as • great conaphinent that by that renewal t..i their confi dence they aguified their feeling that he bad honestly dis charged the dunce they had intruded to biskeeping. He had always earnestly desi red, so far as lay in his power, to oontanue the political illustration which this distinguished borough afforded. For the last ten years they bad honoured him with the charge of representing the borough ID parliament, mid during the whole of that time be led endeavoured on every oonsioc—even on the one to which his hon. friend Mr. Mayon kid just referred—to do his duty honestly and iedependently to thanonatituency. He did not remember one occasion on which he bad given • factious vote on • political question, solely for the sake of gratifying • spirit of opposition or from factious motives. They might rest assured that when ho had differed frees thou with whom be habitually acted he had been actuated by the desire to discharge turn duty honestly and fairly. (Hsu.) During the ten year; he had invariably sat os the same side of the house es her Majesty's present ad ' and had as a rule given his runner' to the measures of Lard Palmerston's government. Having done so, he rejoiced at the opportu nity which had been now afforded him of entering the pub lic service of the country as one of her Majesty's servants, under a parliamentary leader whom any man might be ' proud to serve, and whose genuine popularity must relict on every man who was engaged under him in the discharge at the public duties of the country. (Cheers.) What wee the basis of Lord Palmerston's government! It was not formed en a narrow and exclusive basis, but upon the broad and mold foundation of popular syrnpathies, which popu larity was now manifest in the genuine feeling of Ando,- tion and contentment which existed throughout the country, and which in • peat measure animated the public prey of the country. Another conclusive proof which had been felt of it was that the government had not during the mission met with any scrim, opposition, except, perhaps, on ass onasies, when the matter involved was one of optnioe, and not of policy ; for it had bees felt that as general grounds those members of the House of Commons who were uninfluenced by strong political prejudices could give their support to Lord Palmerston. The right hooonnble baronet next entered into a review of the proceedings of parliament during the present session, alluding especially to the Bankruptcy Bill, and to the Irremovable Poor Bill, the latter measure baying. be was glad (he said) to be able to DODOUDOO, passed the House of Lords ; it was calculated to bestow great advan tages on this and other communities. With regard to the question of church rates (he said), parliament had not bees able to snits at sty definite conclusion this seines ; hid no doubt some satidactory and, he hoped, final arrangement would be made next year. At the same time he admitted the question to be adifficult one; for the entire abolition of church rates was opposed to the feelings of • great majority of churchmen. Dissenters were not agreed upon it ; for he believed that an important and influential body of the Wea -1 lowan methodists were opposed to the abolition unless some ' definite arrangement in lieu of them was made. (Cheers.) The I right hon. baronet next alluded to the foreign policy which She government bad pursued, and eulogised the come taken by Lord John Russell. He expressed his entire eon serrence in that principle of non-intervention which had guided our relations with respect to Italy, and shoo in the struggle now going on in the United States of America. He referred at some length to the causes which had about the recent ministerial changes, aid expressed regret that the illness of Lord Herbert bad necessitated his lordship', resignation of the important post which he so 'Mcleod/ filled—that of Minister of War. Lord Pelmet.- skin had sought to replace the vacancies by the appointment of men who, he was glad to say, were not bound body and soul absolutely to any particular individual, but from amongst men who sat on the independent benches in the , House of Commons, and who had given their sup port to whatever minister proposed measures which is their opinion suited the wants of the country. Lord Palmerston had offered to him the appointment of Chief Secretary for Ireland, and he had readily, but with all deference so far as his abilities were concerned, accepted it. He knew the responsibilities of the office, and he was aware that he was called upon to succeed a man who by dint of great ability, business habits, and hie experience am a cabi net minister, had been enabled to understand the wants and wishes of, and to render service to the Irish people. He (Sir R. Peel) did not pretend to the abilities of his prede cessor, but in accepting the office be bad felt as every loyal Englishman ought, that when called upon it WY his duty to render whatever humble ureice lay in his power. (Cheers.) He would, he said, go to Ireland utterly fret from any strong political bias or party prejudice. He was, and, as hi* constituents knew, ever h been, an advo cate of emancipation, and thorough emancipation, on the score of religious opinion. ((.heers.) And it was not his view of the interests of the protestant faith to rest it upon a system of disabilities or political exclusions. He bail, in fact, always thought the beet course to pursue was to smooth, over by a liberal plan of equality those dif fereocee which might exist between men on religious sub. jecte. (Cheers.) He knew that the name he bore was very pepuler in Ireland in connexion with measures that 6d largely contributed to the public good and to the peace and tranquillity of the empire. He repeated that he knew the responsibilities of the post he had undertaken, and he prayed God to give him wisdom to fulfil his duties. (Cheers.) He should en deavour to set about his work with • plain, honest, deter. minatioo to do his duty without finesse, and in • straight forward manner, and he felt satisfied that in so doing be should not be unfairly judged by • generous, warm hearted, and keen-sighted people. Bir Robert then passed on to contrast the political and social condition of Ireland at the present moment with what it was when his father went over in the capacity of chief secretary in 1812. The great causes of national discontent at that time bad nearly if not entirely passed away, and he should not have to combat with any of the evils which his father found so rife. He admitted that her Majestj's government was not no popular in Ireland as it ought to be. The right hoe. baronet mid the causes were accidental and transient, and over which the government bad no direct control. The chief were the suppneed interference with the temporal power of the Pope, and the twain quaitio of the Galway contract. With regard to the former, the government had main ' taloa a strict nonintervention iu the internal affairs of I Italy, and other circumstances had combined to einem scribe the temporal power of the Pope, but with respect to the Galway contract, Lord Palmerston's answer in the HOOP. of dOMMOIIII to a question put on Tuesday even ing showed that his lordship considered that, as a depart mantel question, he must stand by the conduct of the Peat neuterGenernl. but that as rapid communication with America was of the first importance, be believed Galway to be the best point for commencing it, sod he (Sir Robert) hoped the decision of the government would ulti mately be in accordance with the unenimous desire that had been expressed by the people of Ireland. ((heers.) Sir Robert couchnled by once more thanking the con stituoney for their renewed mark of confidence in him. A vote of thanks to the mayor, and three cheers for Sir Robert, brought the proceedings to • clam (Stamped, ld. Additional.) [TWOPENCE WORPETH. The election for Morpet h, occasioned by the so ceptance by Sir Oeorge . Grey of the odic. of Home Secretary, took place yesterday In the Borough School-room, in that town. No opposition being offered to the return of the late ' member, the proceedings were comparatively devoid of in terest. The Mayor (IL J. &Connor, Say.) pranded as re turning Other, and Sir George was accompanied OM the platform by (several of his friends and supporters. The at tendance was meagre, sad eowisted chiefly of ladies. The usual formation havtogr bolo complied with, Mr. YOODO o rposed, and Mr. HOOD seconded Sir George Grey, Bart., Falloden, and no other candidate being pro posed, be was declared duly sleeted. Sir GIORGI GMT, after thanking the electors for return ing him for the sixth time as their representative in the House of Commons, adverted to the subject of parliamen te' reform, in regard to which he said the government had fully redeemed their pledges. Considering the pre vious failures in that direction, however, it was thought that it would be better to devote this session to measures of practical legislation which might benefit the country generally, than to be proposing mea sures which would lead to indefinite debates without any partial result. On the subject of our foreign relations the hon. baronet justified the coarse of neutrality pursued by the wvernment, hoping that the revolt would be such as to plift the wishes of all those who desired to see the Mei. of constitutional government as widely dissemi nated as possible among the nations of the earth. We had, he west es to observe, all seen, and seen with admiration, that noble band of volunteers throughout the country which had attained dimensions and manifested • development which the most sanguine of us could hardly have ventured to 'sped. But the government had another duty to per form. They felt it their duty to incur considerable espies@ to preserve our naval means of defence, owing in a great osiers to the new assasnents which had been lately in vented ; sod the-messy thus laid eats M seateoded, was well. Lid wat, even should the danger never occur against which it had been found DIIININDUT to make such provision. After a few more obesomitioss Sr George rammed his seat amid great applause. A vote of thanks was tendered to the Mayor, sad the pro esedinp terminated. SEW{ IR KSH I HE. On Tuvedny the nomination of candidates to supply the oseaney in the reprrentation of the county of fielknk, caused by the remnants= of Mr. Lockhart, took ;dace at Minsk. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, • large crowd mamembled round the hinting., which bad been erected is treat of the Town House. The Yowl formalities haying been gone through, Mr. Jogirirron, of Alva, nominated Lord Henry ..I,4in pat. Major Scow. at Oak, seconded the nomination. Provost Ron a, of Selkirk, nominated the Hon. Wil li= Napier. Xr. G. BATIMATI, chief rusgiatrato of GaLabials, seconded I. nomination. Lord HINBY Scorn in the course of his remarks, said— "My hon. opponent Buds plenty of fault with the pelmet government ; but somehow he marvellously forgets their failings. He neither approves of their reform bill, nor of the manner in which they con duct the finances. Now, I should suppers) that thew ware two of the subjects on which it is of the utmost importance that one should be thoroughly convinced that go v ernm ent are is is right. Our expenditure , no doubt, is very b ut that very much owing to the dangerous of foreign politico, and the absolute necessity of keep. lag our country in a proper state of defence. The modern system of warfare makes our armaments much more costly, and we suffer very much from that. We have on the oppo site side of the Channel a neighbour of the most dangerous kind, With 300000 men ready to send to any part of the world which Easy excite his cupidity. We have now • great rodeguard against any attacks in our volunteer system, so admirably managed, which has placed at our some 150,000 men, ready at any moment to act as oar safeguard inst foreign attacks. lam glad that the present for ei gn policy has been so thoroughly agreed to by all parties ; and . in ftct Lord John Rowell himself the other day paid bre tribute to the MA!MOlllialt of foreign affairs by Lord Mabasthury, the Minfarra elf Foreign Affairs under lord Derby. In these nrcumstanoss, therefore, I think there can be little difference of opinion between all parties on that subject. I shall be glad to see the ve iEnt policy thoroughly carried out, and to see Italy developing its resources in every way. I will always main tain constitutional and protestant principles of this country. (Hear, hear.) A scandalous rumour has gone abroad about me, saying that I am not a protestant. I most distinctly and straightforwardly give a most emphatic denial to such a statement. ("Hwar, hear," from Lord Henry's supporters.) I know that rumour has not been pant about by my boa. opponent—thew, hear)-44 it her been done simply to damage me in your and I despise the meanness of the man, whoever be was, that did it. (Cribs of "Bravo.") I sh o uld be glad to pro mote I. any way the education of the people ; and I shall always give measures having that end in view my most careful attention. Our parochial schools have hitherto worked exceedingly well, and a measure has just =hthrough parliament which will to a great extent per at system. There is one subject, however, which has not received so much attention in it ought to have done, and that is the social and sanitary improvement of the working-classes. (Hear, hear.) I shall consider carefully, and with pleasure, any measure which may be introduced for this object, a nd I think that the intelligence and in dustry of the working classes has been such that they ought to receive more attention in these matters than they have hitherto done." The Hon. WILLIAM Narita, who followed, said—"Oo the question of f • policy the noble lord has mid that be cause Lord John in that high spirit of courtesy which distinguishes him, pa i d a compliment to Lord Malmes bury, therefore there Is uo difference between the policy of the present government and that of Lord Mohair bury. I say there is a vast difference between them. In travelling on the continent two or three years ago, before this government acceded to power, when Lord Malmesbury occupied the Foreign-office, I mixed a good deal with the people, and I knew that struggling Italy, under the leader ship of the illustrious Cavour, war under great disadvan tages, owing to the doubts, the hesitations, and difficulties of the then representative of the government in the Foreign. office. I can *nun you, from my personal knowledge, from what has been told me by reliable people in Tuna, that at that time Cavour's heart was tilled with despair. But when Lord John Russell succeeded to office, did he not, is the most straightforward, manly, intelligent, Emil& way, state tint the people of this country desired to see extended to other people the liberty which we enjoy, and the hap piness which proceeds from that liberty? Did not Lord John Russell, by himself and by his ministers, unceas ingly make these representations to all those despotic go- vernments, even after Louis Napoleon endeavoured by his troops to prevent Italy from reaping the full benefit of her exertions? (Cheers.) There is another reason why Lord John Russell should be kept in the distinguished position which he now occupies. We all know it is the custom of the House of Commons not to discuss diplomatic questions while they are in agitation. Therefore, as our opinion canuot be expressed in the House of Commons on these questions, it is of the most material importance to you and to us that the minister who represents you in the Foreign Department should be a minister about whom there is not the slightest doubt. I say, there fore, whether upon the question of reform or of ripe n . taneous progressive measures of all kinds, or of lite ral policy abroad, that there is a most material dis tinction between the proposals of a liberal govern ment, and especially of this government, and what may be expected to be wrung from the opposition when they Sr. in power." (Cheers.) A show of hands was taken, when only three or four hands were held or amidst the crowd, amidst roars of laughter, for Lord Henry Scott, and the entire assemblage held up their hands, as one man, with enthusiastic cheering, for the Hon. W. Napier. The Sowrr then announced that the poll would take place next day. As the candidates and their supporters retired from the hnispi, Major Scott, of Gala, was hustled by the crowd and n4lter roughly used, as he was proceeding to the County Hotel ; but the good sense and good humour of the crowd prevailed, and the wejor was allowed to proceed without further interruption to the hotel. • The election took place yesterday. The following is the CLORE OF TIM POLL. Lord Henry Scott, conservative Hon. William Napier, liberal Majority for Scott There was great excitement and some disturbance at Selkirk. The conservative voters were mobbed and hissed at the polling place. At the close of the poll the Earl of Lailkeith and other supporters of Lord Henry Scott were assaulted by the mob at the door of the hotel where both committeea eat. No serious breach of the peace, however, occurred. THE ROYAL AORICI - LTUI:AL SHOW OF IRELAND. —lt Is believed that the Right Hon.

Yesterday afternoon a deputs..tion from the build in trades of the metropolis and a deputation from the Lott. doa trades delegate meeting waited by appointment upon Sir George Lewis, the Secretary for War, at the House of Commons, on the subject of the interference of the govern ment in the dispute now existing in the building trades by the supply of a body of the Royal Engineers to the contractor for the erection of the new barracks at Chelsea, to fill the places of those workmen who had left hie employ in come guises of their refusal to work under the hour system. Sir G. Lewis received the deputations in 01111 of the committee• rooms. Mr. ityrtee, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, having intros domed the deputation from the building trades, Mr. Parma., carpecter, said he presumed Sir Osage Lewis was aware of the nature of the dispute now midis( between a large portion of the building operatives and certain of the employers, about 9.5 in number, who were endeavouring to force upon them a system of payment and eugagemest by the hour, with the iatimation that those men who did not like those terms mast leave the employ. The men, who although they were memerialisingthe masters for a reduction of the bourn of Ulmer, were wurkiag peace ably upon the old and usual terms of the trade, considered the hour system would act meat prejudicially to their in terests, and the greet bulk of them, especially in two breaches of the trade, declined to work under that system. Amongst the employers thus enforcing the hour system was Mr. Higgs, the commenter for the new berisees at Chelsea. The regime that bad brought, hinmeif and ealeaguirs them, ea behalf of the banal trades, was to complain that the government, by supplying a body of military artificers to Ule coatnicter for the Chelasie u t ' Idea to diaregatd the affirm stied as are siscoengereent generally to the to persevere in their course, and was: a direct violation of thee principle of government neutrality in trade disputes which had been so well prockiated by the right boa baronet, when Home Secretary, in the dispute of leak and which had then given so ninth satisfaction to the building operatives. Mr. Patheoe, mason, said, he had hoped that after the deputation which had waited upon Mr Tiering, the late Under Secretary for War, the result wouldleseve been the withdrawal of the Semmes sad Miners from the service of the contrictor. but this not having been done necessitated the present deputation, as the trade be represented, who ' were the greatest sufferers by this interference of the War office authorities, were determined not to rest Middled until the military artificers' were enthdrawn. Instead of their having been withdrawn since the last deputation more bad been supplied —masons , bricklayers, carpenter*, end la beaten. fin Tueedsy ltht theme had bees marched off the works at the close of the day's labour, and the places of screed who, being dissatisfied with their treat ment, bad been sent back to Chatham, were to be filled by . a fresh supply from the depot. The contractor paid into the War-ofece the sum of de. Rd. per day for each Sapper supplied to him, working them ten hours per day. The contract had been made at the rate of Gs. per day wages, and he was therefore making a profit of Is ed. per day on each man above what be would do were he to employ the regular artisans ; and by paying them for a regular working day of 10 hours was actnowthigime the very principle which be repudiated, and was trying to destroy with regard to civilian workmen. He had also by the unlimited supply of Sappers placed at his command been en abled to discharge several of the men who had remained is his employ when the rest left, and had thus enabled them to transfer their services to other employers who were co ercing their men. The Sappers received from the Warofflce 2s. 4d. per day out of the 4a &L paid ie for their services. He hoped to hear from the Secretary for War that this M- I terfarence would at once cease. _ Mr. Armee thee introduced the deputation from the London Trades Delegates. Mr. 11KAP, of the Amalgamated Engineers, &wired the right hon. gentleman that this question had been taken up very warmly by the working clams throujliout the United KmOom. He stood there as the represeutetis eof a society numbering '2,000 members, end his colleagues, called to gether at a short notice, represented at least :0,000 skilled artisans. The right hon. baronet must be well aware from his 'ence that the artisans combined together in trade socistis comprised the bulk of the moat intelligent, the most industrious, and the most wealthy portion of the working classes, and he thought it was well worthy the con sideration of the government whether they would make enemies of these men by a perseverance in their present un wise and injudicious interference between the employer and the employed. Mr. Perammainoz, carpenter, urged similar views, and said the body be represented denied the right of the government, either to serve its own purpose or that of a private contractor, to place soldiers in competition with regular workmen, who had families to support, and who contribute their quota to the national expenses. Ile thought it was the duty of the government, on finding that the contractor could not go on with this contract for want of men, to have inquired with whom the fault laid ; sod bad they done so, lie felt convinced, instead of supplying him with men, they would have insisted on his proceeding with the work from his own resources. Not having done so, they had inflicted a great injury upon the building opera tives, which it was their duty to repair as speedily as possible. Sir Geosue Lewis said he had listened with interest to the various statements placed before him by the different speekeis. He could assure the deputation that in placing the Samson at the service of the contractors for the barracks there had not been the slightest intention on the part of the government to interfere on behalf of either side in the dispute unfortunately existing between the men and the employers ; their only object had been to expedite the com pletiou of the work. If, however, the government bad un intentionally violated that desirable neutrality he much regretted it. He was equally desirous now, as in 1559, to avoid interference. He could not deny, after what he had heard from the deputation, that there were many points in the question well worthy the consideration of the govern ment ; the question was fairly open to discussion ; he thought they had made out a good case for inquiry, and without pledging himself or the government to any peril cake course, diligent inquiry should be made, and the various point. urged should receive his most serious consi deration. He regretted his necessary presence in the house prevented him now entering more fully into the question. The deputation then retired, thanking the right hoe. baronet for the courtesy extended to then ; also Mr. Ayrton for his attention. The united deputatious held a meeting afterwards, when it was agreed that the otticers of the Loudon Trades Council ahould sign sod send in a petition to the house on ledpalf of the trades of Loudon, to accompany that from the building trades, to be presented on Friday, praying for the imine- • diate withdrawal of the soldiers from the service of the contractors for the barrack,. Dmernuvrivz FULL—Yesterday morning, be tween two and three o'clock, a destructive fire took place on the extensive premises of Mr. Bparkes, cabinet maker, Duke-street, Union-street, Bishopegate. The fire escapes and engines arrived most powerfully manned, and with a good supply of water got to work iu an admirable manner, under the direction of Mr. John Bridges, the district fore man. The flames, however, shot through the roof, and the staircase fell with a tremendous crash, which buried several a the firemen in the &brio. An alarm was instantly raised, and with difficulty they were extricated, fortunately receiv ing only a few slight contusions. By dint of great exertions the fire was sidalued, but not until the premises were nearly destroyed, and the adjoining houses of Mr. .1. 31iasly silk manufacturer, and others, were dane c by fire, water, and removal. The loss will fall on the Royal Exchange, Atlas, Phenix, and other offices. 8610CILING DEATH Ur THE DEPUTY SHERIFF Or NOTTINOHAMMOIRL.—On Tuesday evening Mr. John Brew ster, an eminent solicitor, of Nottingham, who has held the office of deputy sheriff of Nottinghamshire for, .1. , 111t, met his death under very shocking circumstances. Early in the evening Mr. Brewster had witnessed the performance of Bloudiu at the Isarmck•yard, Notting ham , and after return ing home partook of supper so uvual. He remained in con versation with hisfamily until abouteleveno'clock, when his sone bade bun " Clued night," sod retired to rest. Almost immediately afterward* they were aroused by the shrieks of their sister. Upon going to the spot they found their father lying at the bottom of the steps lending into the garden, his head being fearfully bruised. A surgeon was sent for, but the unfortunate gentl e n ia n n ever ra lli e d, and expired half en hour afterwards. A coroner's inquest was held yesterday, and from the median' testimony adduced it was supposed that the deceased wee seized with an effusion of blood to the bend, which caused him to fall down the steps, and a verdict to that effect was returned. Mr. Brewster was 64 years of age, and a member of the Town Council. SINGULAR ACCIDMKT AT A TELEGRAPH °TRUE — During the thunderatorm which raged on Thursday last, as accident of rather a singular nature occurred at the Newry Telegraph-office. It appears that the electric fluid struck the magnetic wires on some pert of the line. and the curreet at the tune was conveyed into the office. Mr. Lewis Hanson! (the principal telegraph clerk iu charge), who, at the same moment, chanced to be engaged at one of the in struments in the office, received each a severe shock that he was instantly prostrated to the ground. and appeared to be quite senseless for about a minute. He was, however, more frightened than hart, as he only experienced a revere electric shock, as if from an extra charged galvanic battery. Two of the junior clinks, and a commercial gentleman who chanced to be in the office at the time, thought it was some kind of a at ho lied got. until they perceived that the steel portiou of the telegraph iustiumeut were Mimed up, ail if in a furnace. Mr. Hanssnl, on recovering, explaiuni to them the crime of the oceurrence, he having, shunt two years ago, experienced a similar shock when at the Liuteriek Junction station, neer Tipperary.—Freeman's Journal.
