Cornuar to the sanguine anticipations of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQtER, the morning sit ting of the House of Commons yesterday proved insufficient to complete the Report on the Repre sentation of the People Bill. Borrowing a hint from Tom MOORE, who tells us that " the best of " all ways to lengthen our days is to steal a few " hours from the night," and appealing to the for bearance of private members, the Government carried on the consideration of the Report Into the evening sitting. By dint of this trespass on the order of public business, the last remaining amendment was disposed of after ten hours' dis cussion ; and a little before midaight the Crux- CILLOR of the EXCHEQUER wan enabled to an nounce that the third reading of the Bill would be taken on Monday. The cheers which greeted this statement ruse from both sides of the House. So far as they proceeded from the Conservative benches, they must have expressed, not so much satisfaction with the work done as a sense of relief at its completion. The change which had long been inevitable, and which, on the whole, will, we doubt not, be beneficial, has now virtually been accomplished. But thisfreedomhasbeenbought with a great price —at the coat of temporary poli tical demoralization. The Conservatives of England have cast aside all their principles and traditions. The Liberals have, for the time, lost much of their community of feeling and power of united action. Some of thorn have been betrayed into ingratitude towards leaders who have borne the burthen and heat of the day. They have reserved their homage for labourers of the eleventh hour. The dexterous sleight of hand of a brilliant apostate has had a greater fascination for them than states manlike capacity, unbending independence, and devoted zeal. The preference of men for those who delude over those who serve them has seldom been more strikingly illustrated than in the his tory of the party leadership of Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. GLADSTONE. The progress of the Report was impeded yes terday by several divisions, as well as by unne cessary motions brought forward to give occa sion to even less necessary speeches. We do not class among these Mr. BERKELRY'S proposal in favour of the Ballot. That question is at least as practical as the Female Suffrage, the Representa tion of Minorities, and the Cumulative Vote, all of which involve principles which, whether they be sound or not, are worth pleadingfor. Itisbynomeans improbable that the Ballot may take its place before many years as one of the prime articles of the Tory creed. In proportion as Mr. DISRAELI becomes Radical, the Radicals show a disposition to become Conservative. Mr. BERKELEY and Mr. OSBORNE argued yesterday for secret voting as essential to the protection, not of the poor from the tyranny of the rich, but of the working man from the dictation of his union and his class. DE TOCQt'EVILLE was quoted by the philosophical member for Nottingham to show the necessity of the ballot as a corrective of the evils of Demo cracy, and as a safeguard against the tyranny of numbers. There were signs of awakened curio sity and attention upon the Conservative benches. The cries of scepticism and impatience which have commonly proceeded thence were unheard. Before many sessions have passed we may have Lord CRANBORNE pleading for the Ballot upon grounds analogous to those which inspire his arguments in favour of cumulative voting. He will say that you cannot withdraw one-half of the ele ments of our ancient constitntion, and then fancy it Conservatism to adhere to the rest ; that in a nation in which monarchy is dead, aristocracy doomed, and democracy (like virtue in a trans pontine theatre) triumphant, secrecy of voting is absolutely needful to guard the convictions of the few against the tyranny of the many. But time is required for this revolution of sentiment and action. Matters are looking more hopeful for Mr. BERKELEY than they have done for man y yews. The remaining points discussed and decided yesterday evening were not of the first importance. The rejection of Lord EUATACK CMCIL'II motion for affixing a 'permanent brand of political depriva tion 111,011 persona once convicted of crime, though THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1867. it was supported in an harsh and illogical speech by Lord CRANBORNE, and in a rather Pharisaic one from Mr. Osuoime, reflects credit on the right feeling and humanity of the House. The clause moved by Mr. THEEBY, and accepted by the Government, requiring the overseers of parishes to make out, on or before the 22nd day of July in each year, lists of persons in arrears of rates due before the sth of the preceding January—the lists to be accessible without fee for fourteen days after the time of their compilation—is a compromise be tween the Hems BE4'I{4:TART'S proposal of a news paper advertisement and Mr. LOCKE'S plan of indi vidual service of notice, and is as much better than the former as it is inferior to the latter. The rejec tion of Mr. P. A. TAYLOR'S reasonable proposition, for allowing the occupation of different lodgings in succession to confer the same right to the fran chise as the continued occupation of the same lodgings, cannot be justified on any ground of argument. This rejection was not the worst symp tom. The silence of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER after Mr. BOUVERIE'S untimely speech against the lodger franchise lends some confirmation to the rumour that that franchise itself may be attacked and abandoned by the Government in the Lords. The support successfully given by Ministers to Mr. LOWTHER'S amendment, extending the franchise of the boroughs of Oxford and Cam bridge to residents in colleges or halls, is a strange commentary on their admiration of homogeneous constituencies, and denunciations of the iniquity of swamping such constituencies by foreign elements. The elision of the Master ship of the Rolls and the First Commissionership of Church Estates from the list of offices of profit, which may be exchanged inter se, though not ac cepted in the first instance without resignation of the nominee's seat in Parliament, will be generally approved, since these are not political posts. When this amendment was made, on the motion of Sir RousnELL Pumas, the real business of the House was over. The attempts of Mr. A varoN and others to reopen the subject of the borough schedales involved a sheer waste of time, not the less to be censured because the motions were little better than feints. It is matter for satisfaction that these propositions, and others as idle, delayed nothing more important than Mr. BAILLIE Coex- RA' long postponed, but not very anxiously awaited speech on the Tornado question. The tediousness of these debates will increase the pub lic sense of relief at the conclusion of the tiresome but necessary details, which have occupied the PFliMilcut Asl4 OW country for many weary weeks, was addrumed. But nothinseaa excuse the gross injustice of refusing evidence which demonstrates that the impres sion thus produced was not only not the impression which the speaker intended, but the very reverse of what he had for years been labouring to produce. The suggestion that the Council of University College should deprive Mr. Beesly of professional status for this speech is equi valent to • proclamation that freedom of political thought and expression should be denied in future to every tenant of such offices. At Oxford it would certainly have been simply impossible to de -1 price Professor Beesly of any academical office for this mischievous speech. Oxford guards far too jealously the liberty of even her wildest and most vagrant minded sons. In a college with anything of collegiate dignity to lose it would be a stigma on its history not easy ever to wipe out. The Chronicle oomes to the conclusion that wo must wait for the extinction of the Orange Society until the Irish establishment has been abolished, and the existence of such an organisation should be counted a strong reason for pressing on this great reform. All the year round, until July comes, the different sects and races live on good terms together in Ulster; and there cannot he a doubt that they would have been fused to a great extent long since, if it were not considered necessary to keep them apart for political purposes by promoting these annual exacerbations.

Delahunty, Mr. E. L Ilerapath, Mr. Ceo. Hogarth, Mr. S. Barton, and Mr. W. Bell. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Gibraltar and Malta. THE DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FOR OSBORNE. —Her Majesty the Queen, with the younger members of the royal family and suite, will leave Windsor Castle at half-past tour o'clock this afternoon, for Osborne. Her Majesty will travel in a special train over the Great Western and South Western lines, ma Reading and Ba singstoke, to the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard, at Gosport, and then embark on board the Royal Yacht for Osborne, which will be reached early in the evening. Tho court, it is expected, will leave for B►lmoral about the 20th of August. The Prince of Wales honoured the Duke and Duchess of Buceleuch by his company at dinner at Mon tagu House, Whitehall, yesterday evening.

Alan and Mrs. Egerton, Sir Charles Russell, Colonel Annesley, and the Lady-in-Wait ing on the Countess de Paris. Holders of tickets for her Majesty. ship Serapis will be able to travel by the 6.40 a.m. train from Water. 100, and will be admitted at the Loopline Gate on pro ducing their Admiralty tickets. We are requested to state that the issue of tickets for the review is closed, and that it is impossible to entertain any more applications, as the number received far exceeds the accommodation that can be provided. The inhabitants of Perin must appear in the eyes of the sovavigr s and princes who visit the French capital to have among thcin a very considelable number of men d oant•, since those illustrious pereonwres are besieged with applicatons for pecuniary assistanee under all aorta of pretences, and for sums of money from 24fr. to lOO,ooofr. The young Prince lazedin Effendi, the heir ap parent to the Ottoman Empire, is but a mere lad, and unlike most Turks of high rank is almost as dark 00113 pie xioned as a Spaniard. The resemblance to bis Imperial father ia very striking, and is rendered almost whimsically great from the fact of them .both wearing exactly the same kind of State uniform and the same riband and order. Prince Irsedin Effendi is, in other words, the Sultan in miniature. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The final revision of the reform bill is discussed this morning by each of our contemporaries. Of the admission of university residents to the registers of Oxford and Cambridge, the Times observes that nothing can be better calculated to revive the antagonism of town and gown. The decision is now only capable of alteration by the assistance of the House of Lords. With regard to the lodger franchise and the chance that it may be rejected in the Upper House, the Times suggests whether it would not be desirable to limit the operation of that franchise to constituencies con taining a population above a given limit or scheduled by name. In this way the necessity of enfranchising lodgers in the largest boroughs could be eatisfied, without incur ring the risk of fraud and abuse in the smaller towns. The visite of the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt lead to comments noon western civilisation, and to allusions to the comparisons and contrasts which must occur to the ministers of Foreign Affairs who attend the Sultan and the Viceroy on their progress. It may be, the Times says, that from these visits will date the solution of the so-called Eastern question. The Post points out the unparalleled good fortune which has befallen the present government in the matter of legal patronage. In England they have appointed one lord justice of appeal, Lord Cairns ; one vice-chancellor, Sir Richard Malins ; Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Sir William Bovill ; Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir Fitzroy Kelly ; in Ireland, a lord chancellor and a lord chief justice ; and in Scotland, a lord justice clerk. Now they have a second lord justiceship of appeal in England to fill up ; which they are about to do by the promotion of Sir John Bolt. THE WEEKLY PRESS. In the opinion of the Saturday Review, it is idle to think that the Lords will either reject or mutilate the Reform measure. It has been said that an effort will be made to throw out the clause giving the franchise to lodgers ; but nothing could be more unwise than such a course. The conservative peers will only make the en deavour if they conceive themselves to have the secret sympathy and concurrence of Lord Derby, and the ministry would be exposed to a burst of well-merited reproach if it sanctioned opposition to a provision for the adoption of which it had made itself responsible. That the measure will be distasteful to a large majority of the House of Lords is probable, for they h►ve not been led gradually to it as the House of Commons has been ; but they cannot fail to be aware that their opposition must either be futile, or must lead to much worse things than the passing of the present bill. They may, under the circumstances, be reasonably content if they can aid in making the bill more effective, and as free from ambigui ties as possible. The Examiner says we are on the eve of great changes in our labour system. Public opinion will be found irresistible in the efficacy of its influence over ques tions between muter and operative as well as between sove reign and subject, minister and people. The formsof arbitra tion are difficult to decide or to define. A bill, making the attempt to establish courts of equitable a.I j u stinent between employers and employed, has passed the House of Lords this session, and will probably rase the House of Commons ; and another measure, call*, the Muter and Servant Bill, putting an end to certain anomalies in the law of criminal procedure, is also likely to get through. The Examiner fears that Mr. Neste's propcealto afford protection to the fundsof trade societle•, when the woman.a are duly audited, is less likely to receive the sanction of parliament. But our con temporary has infinitely more hope from the steady and continuous action of public discussion, and from the in crease of habits of reading and reflection among working men themselves, than from anything that can be done by legislative interference. The Spedator, dwelling on the county interest in the game laws, refers to the Wiltshire cane raised by Mr. Peter Taylor, on which Mr. Chthonic, Hardy made so violent a speech, although, says the Spectator, he could not dispute a single word of Mr. Taylor's statement. The tone through out of these representatives of the agricultural labourers was a tone of deep and even fierce resentment of any at tempt to vindicate for them equal justice ; and a feeling of passionate partisanship for the unpaid county magistracy of England—the most conserv►tive, and in many respects most successful, of our political and social institutions, and yet, probably, the coarsest, rudest, and, on one class of subjects, most partial judicial tribunal known to Europe. When county members show feelings of this kind towards a most important part of the population they are assumed to represent, with what shadow of justice can Mr. Disraeli ask for them a greater political force, founded on the number of a population against whose advocates they wage such fierce and relentless war? Commenting upon public opinion and Professor Beesly, the Spect ,tor holds it to be a far more disrmoeful act than Professor Beeely's to reties insertion, as the Times did, to Mr. Applacarth's letter, printed in Wednesday's Daily News, in which he distinctly asserts that the expression in his own speech, which the Times had so heartily ap proved, about the imperative duty of " dragging" Broad head and all such criminals "to justice," was borrowed from Professor Beady, wee a mere echo of Pro fessor Beesly's own language. As • question of publii it'dos, it was quite fair, of course, to cri ticise Professor Beealy's speech, not as it was meant, but as it was calculated to affect the public to whom it KING'S COLLEGE. Yesterday afternoon the annual distribution of prizes to the successful students of the General Literature and Applied Sciences departments took place within the great hall of the college, in the presence of a large number of the relatives and friends of the students. The Earl of Pow is presided, and there were also on the platform Dr. Stanley, the Dean of Westminster, the Bishop of [Abeam Dr. Jelf, the Principal of the college and most of his colleagues who hold the various professorships. Dr. Jelf, previous to the distribution, delivered a brief addreu, in the course of which he claimed fur the institution the position and attributes of a university in so far as the applied sciences are concerned. Very many young men who had quitted the college aher distinguishing themselves as students in those sciences had since acquired fame and fortune in various parts of the world. Besides several scholarships and numerous certificates of honour and approval there were 20 book prizes distributed in the General Literature department for proficiency in divinity, classical literature, Latin verse, Latin essay, mathe matics, modern history, English language, English essay, English verse, French language and literature, and German language and literature. The noble lord, in pre senting the latter prizes, impressed upon the pupils the growing importance of becoming masters of French and German. In the Applied Sciences, in addition to scholar ships and certificates, there were twenty-four prizes for divinity, mathematics, natural philosophy, arta of con struction, manufacturing art, land surveying and level ling, practical geometry, drawing, chemistry, prac tical chemistry, mineralogy and geology, and the workshop. Dr. Jelf, at the close of the ceremony, stated that the college had never reached a higher state of efficiency for study and discipline than in the academical year now terminating. On the motion of Dr. Stanley, seconded by the Bishop of Labuan, a former student of the college, a vote of thanks was presented to the noble lord for presiding. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishop of London had forwarded letters containing expressions of regret that prior engagements precluded their attending. THE VICEROY or EGYPT. —Last evening tho members of the United Service Club gave • magnificent banquet to his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt (who has recently been elected an honorary member of the club), at the Club-house, Pall-mall. Field-Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., C.C.S., who presided, arrived shortly before eight o'clock, at which hour his Highness the Viceroy arrived, attended by their Excellencies Raghib Pacha, Nubar Paoha , Talent Pacha, Husain Pacha, and Rios Paoli's. His Highness was received on his arrival by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Arthur Duncombe, M.P., General Sir Jas. Jackson, Sir Win. Wiseman, and Major General Burnaby, A.A., the members of the dinner committee, and was conducted by the grand staircase to the library in which the company engaged to dine with his highness had assembled to welcome his presence- Dinner was announced shortly after the arrival of the Viceroy and his officers. Covers were laid for 120. As before mentioned, the Duke of Cambridge filled the chair, and Admiral the Hon. Arthur Buncombe, M.P. , was t h e vice-president. The Earl of Dudley, the Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote (the Secretary of State for India), the aide-de-camp to the Duke of Cambridge, and Mr. Larkin were invited to join the distinguished circle. The Viceroy, , who wore the riband and star as a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, sat on the right hand of the president, After the cloth had been removed, the Duke of Cambridge proposed " The Health of her Majesty the Queen ;" and next, " The Health of their illustrious Guest, his High ness the Viceroy of Egypt," which was enthusiastically re sponded to, and was acknowledged by his highness. The Viceroy and suite left about 11 o'clock. Han MAJESTY'S Tassms.—His Highness the Viceroy of Egypt having been compelled on Thursday, from his late engagement at the Mansion.house, to post pone his visit to Her biaraty's Theatre, has intimated his intention to be present this evening. THE REPRESENTATION OP BIRMINGHAM. —The preparations for a contested parliamentary election have now commenced here. Yesterday a meeting was held of the friends of Mr. Sampson Lloyd ; Mr. William James, one of the borough magistrates, en the chair. A resolution was unanimously passed decaring that M r . Ll oy d i s eminently qualified to represent this borough in parlia ment. It was further resolved to . present • requisiti on t o him, inviting him to stand. It is tolerably certain that Mr. Lloyd, who is a liberal-conservative, will come for ward.

At the consistory held this morning, the Pope pronounced an allocution on the election of the new patriarch of Cilicia, and also another allocution on the death of the Emperor Maximilian, ordering a funeral mass to be said for the repose of his soul in the: Sistine Chapel. The Pope then consecrated M. Bernadon the Archbishop of Sens, M. Collet Bishop of Grano, and M. Libichhowski Auxilia Archbishop of Poland. ROME, Jutr 8. The Pontifical bull for the convocation of the (Ecumenical Council will, it is expected, be issued on the Bth December next. The council will open one year subsequently on the Bth December, 1868, the anniversary of the festival of the immaculate conception. The beatification took place yesterday, according to the usual ritual, but without great pomp. The basilica of the Vatican was nearly empty. His Holiness and the bishops were not present at the ceremony, but visited St. Peter's after vespers. Very few prelates now remain in Rome. Desertions from the Antibes Legion still con tinue to be very numerous. Last winter this corps after great efforts was brought to an effective of 1,800 men. At present it is only about 900 strong.

POINT DE GALLE, JUNE 30. A terrible earthquake has occurred at Bjokja, Java. Numerous lives were lost. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT THE MANSION•HOUSE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPELLEE. Stx,—lt is a great mistake to suppose that his Highness Ismail Paths does not understand any other language but Arabic and Persian because he spoke in his native toncue at the banquet given to him by the Lord Mayor. As former teacher of languages to the prince, I beg to assure you that more than twenty years ago, during the lifetime of his gallant father, Ibrahim Pasha, he could express himself with ease in French, &c., sod since that time he has much improved.

Helder — !tgl!kRIC& Atmospherical pressure isascteiremad a little over the British Isles since ye- terday. but is sow berstalig on the west of France. Winds are light and variable, with cloudy weather and rain in places. A letter from Saint Cyr, in the Framv, gives some particulars respecting a visit made by the Sultan to that military establishment. Steeplechases in the English style were got up for the entertainment of his Majesty, who seemed greatly to enjoy the boldness with which the riders, without stirrups, took the difficult leaps. One of his own aides-de-camp, who bad not long left the school, joined in the various exercises, and distinguished himself by his address and intrepidity. The Sultan visited the different class rooms, expressed the pleasure which the inspection afforded him, and left I,ooofr. for the poor of the village. The Turkish monarch has made a present to the Emperor Napoleon of the ex tremely handsome horse—a light grey—which he rode at the review in the Champs-Elysies. Three or four days ago the Sultan gave audience at the Elysee to a certain number of ladies of rank. Either be does not speak French at all, or he speaks it so indif ferently that he prefers conversing through an interpreter; and the interpreter is Feed Pacha, who is an excellent Frenchman, or was so some twenty years back. During the interview, one of the ladies observed playfully to his highness, by way, no doubt, of enhancing the favour of the visit she paid him, that she had always been in the habit of receiving the highest personages, and often had kings and princes in her salons who paid the first visit to her, whereas in the present instance the practice was reversed. The Sultan answered, or at load his interpreter answered for him, that he considered France to be • beautiful woman, and that as he was the first Ottoman sovereign who had visited it, the obligation which gallantry imposes was duly fulfilled by him. A few weeks ago some young men came over from New Brunswick to Southampton, and brought over a boat with them, with the intention of rowing in the in ternational boat races in Paris. They were accompanied by Mr. Harding, the Sheriff of New Brunswick. They went in training on Southampton Water. They rowed i well, but quicker than English rowers. A letter has been received from Paris at Southampton stating that the New Brunswickers rowed in two international matches on the Seine and beat all the world. They will shortly return to Southampton, where they will be entertained at dinner by one of the yacht clubs in that town. GARIBALDI AND ROI/IL—WO read in the Paris Tempe of yesterday:—" Letters from Florence continue to accredit the party of action with grave designs against Rome. The Riforma has just published a long letter from Garibaldi, a sort of manifesto of • very violent kind, against the Convention of the 15th September, with an ardent appeal to the Boman insurrection. Reproaching the government for throwing into prison with thieves the volunteers engaged in the recent affair at Terni, Garibaldi exclaims, ' My friends and my sons will have the honour of fighting for the sublime cause at Rome.' ^ DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF DERRY. DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The Bishop of Derry, Dr. Higgin, died this morning suddenly of disease of the heart. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON RITUALISM.—A short time ago a memorial, signed by sixteen clergymen and fourteen churchwardens at Hull, was addressed to the Archbishop of York, tendering their thanks for the plain and earnest way in which hie grace has spoken in reference to the painful attempts which have been made to introduce into the church ritualistic observances and doctrines un deniably associated therewith, contrary to the custom of the church for three centuries, and to the doctrines clearly defined in the articles and formularies. To this memorial the following reply has just been received : " Bishopsthorpe, York, July 6, DOW. —Reverend and dear brethren,—l have received with great pleasure the memorial that has been addressed to me on the subject of unauthorised changes in the services of our church. Besides the numerous signatures affixed to this nueniorial. I have received private letters from two clergymen of Hull, in which they express their concurrence in the substance of the memorial, though they are prevented by special considerations from signing It. The crisis is indeed most important, and in my humble judgment the time has fully come when the clery and laity who wish to see the doctrine and worship of our church preserved in safety should express their opinion of the recent attempts to change without authority the one and the other. I fear I have done little to deserve the thanks you convey to me. Had it been possible for me, COU Sl* ently with my view of duty, to have accepted a place oa the commission now sitting, I should have given such ser• vices as were in my power to this good cause. As it is. I must wait the result at which the commissioners may ar. rive ; and we will pray that they may be guided to one which may bring back peace to us, and may promote the glory of God. With many thanks for your kindness, and with sincere affection and respect,—l am, my dear beetle ren, ever your faithful servant in the Lord, W. DOB The Rev. John Deck and others."—Yorkshire THE GIOVIRNMENT AND THE NEW JEDGEA—if parliament sanctions the appointment of new judge, a portion of the Lord Chancellor's patronage ought to he diverted from the lucky lawyers of his own party to the benches of the opposition, or to the non-political member , of the profession. Sir Robert Collier and Mr. Denman hold highly respectable positions at the bar, and one cc both of them might probably prefer professional advance* meat to further service in the House of Commons. If Mr. Coleridge is ambitious be will pursue the career on which he entered only in the present parliament with extraordi nary success. Outside the House of Commons, at least one lawyer of pre-eminent reputation has bean p.-.ed over in successive promotions, and it is time that the bench should be strengthened by the accession of one of the most learned members of the bar. In parlianieut there is an unusual opening for a competent lawyer, who may add to his special knowl e dge the rarer gifts which distinguish an orator and a statesman. Sir Roundell Palmer is destined, on the first change of govern ment, to soar from the House of Commons into the higher sphere from which Lord Cairns already contemplates the troubled scene of former conflicts. Mr. Coleridge looks around him in vain for an opponent or a rival ; and Sir John Rolt, who was himself ill-adapted to the House of Commons, leaves behind him no successor of equal Pro . fession.l reputation. Sir John Kerslake is a successful advocate, a tolerable lawyer, and a clever speaker in the House of Commons ; but, as the legal guide and leader of the house, he has still his business to learn. Mr. Selwyn unluckily belongs to the straiteat sect of toryism. and he has neither attained nor sought parliamentary distinction. —Safurdap &rim. _ _ _ THE ifAWATIAN MlMEON. —Yesterday aftClllo l l the annual meeting of the members and atipporters of this mission was held at Willis'eroom.. It was announced that the Archbishop of Canterbury would tylo• tier chair. and that the meeting would be addres.ed by the ltithop of Oxford, the Earl of Devon, and Mr. A. J. ttereyforil M.P. The archbishop kept his appointment, and delayed the proceedings for some time in the hope that the other gentlemen would soon arrive, but neither of them made his appearance, the consequence being that all the arrange. meats for what was hoped would prove a successful meet. ing were overturned.

Mr. Milner Gibson presided st a public dinner given at Bungay, Suffolk, yesterday (Friday) evening t o Colonel Adair, who has several times contested East Suf. folk as a liberal candidate. The only other M.P. present besides Mr. Gibson was Mr. H. C. Adair, the brother of the guest of the evening. In the course of the proceeding', which were of an enthusiastic character. Mr. Gibson observed that it had often been remarked that the conservative party were especially the farmers' friend and the principal supporter, of those measures which bad for their object the prosperity of agriculture. He contended that this was a delusion. In times gone by the counties of England were represented largely by men belonging to the whig or liberal party, and be believed that they were destined to be so represented again. It had bee& sometimes said that language was given to us fill the purpose of concealing our though's ; and certainly this must have been the case during 1566, because the government of which he had the honour to be a member was turned out for bringing in a reform bill. It had been objected to the late government that they were going too far, and that they were going to swamp the property and intelligence of the country by the admission of poverty and ignorance to political power, but it seemed to him (Mr. Gibson) that the real reason why the reform bill of the late government was objected to was that it did not go far enough. (Laughter.) Lord Derby had en. franchised all those whom they intended to enfranchise, and a great many more besides. However be did not find fault with anybody, fur be believed that the measure which was peaking through parliament, and which would no doubt become law, would have a very beneficial effect upon the country. At the commencement of the session the radial! party bad a sort of instinct that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli were going to pursue a policy in accord ance with their views, and therefore they resolved—and he thought wisely—to support, to some extent, Lord Derby's adminstration. The Aeronautical Society of Great Britain will hold a general meeting at the Rooms of the Society of Arts on Monday next, the Duke of Argyll in the chair. The Atheaa ant states that the committee of the Palestine Explorers will seek an interview, during the ensuing week, with the eminent personages attending the Sultan on his visit to London—and afterwards with the Sultan himself. Their purpose is to engage the sympathies of the rulers of Syria in the object of the society —as being non-political and non-sectarian. The deputation will probably consist of the Archbishop of York, Viscount Strsuigford, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Sir Henry Raw. linson, and Mr. Layard. We read in the Spectator :—" The co-operative societies are, it ►ppears, threatened with a trades' =kit of masters against men, who send them to ' Coventry' for underselling. The council of the Agricultural and Herb. cultural Association recently sent to Messrs. J. and F. Howard, of Bedford, an order for agricultural implements. Messrs. Howard not only refused to supply the goods, bat printed the correspondence, sent it through the trade, and roused the agents, say the council, 'to compel other manufacturers' to follow the same course. Clearly this is a case of intimidation within the scope of Sir W. Erle's commission ; but as it is masters who refuse intercourse with a co-operative society, not men who decline to work with one another, the House of Commons will neither rebuke nor interfere."
