CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The Bank of England return, completed to the 16th inst., is of a rather less favourable character. There is a slight falling off in the bullion, but the reserve of notes has been augmented to a moderate extent. The payment of the dividends has caused a further decTease in the public deposits, and there is also a considerable fal:ing off in the private balances. The variations in the other items of the balance sheet will be seen in the subjoined table: — Active Circulation .. £21,420,975 Increase .. 272,635 Bullion . 16,743,434 Decrease .. _13,506 Rest Increase Public Deposits 3,085,467 5,322 • • 5,225,133 Decrease .. .. • • 400,182 Other Deposits.. .. • • • • 15,710,260 Decrease .. . • • • • • 625,909 Seven Day and other Bills .. 627,488 Decrease .. .. • • • • 46,277 Government Securities .. 11,210,755 Increase .. 50,000 Other Securities 18,018,133 Decrease .. 705,905 Notes unemployed 9 7 126,210 Decrease 395,795 A close holiday has been observed in the City to-day, as usual on Good Friday.

An extraordinary general meeting of this company is to be held on Tuesday net, for the purpose of author ising the directors to raise a capital of t 2,500,000, upon which the Secretary of State for India in Council has guaranteed in terest at 5 per cent. per annum to construct an extension line from the Punjaub Railway to Delhi, at which place it is to form a junction with the East Indian Railway. CHARING-CROSS. Yesterday operations were commenced by the contractors for the construction of the railway by the side of the north West wing of St. Thomas's Hospital, adjacent to the London Bridge terminus. Workmen are engaged in digging the foundations for the bridge which is to carry the line ever Righ-street, Southwark, and also on the other side of the road in Wellington-street, where an extensive block of buildings abutting on the church of St. Sepulchre and the Borough market are being dem3lished to effect a junction 'With the portion of the line passing through Southwark to the Blackfriars-road. RAILWAY BILL. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—The Lords of the Admiralty have given their assent to this company's ap plication to construct an embankment along the north-west aide of the inner old harbour of H"lyhead, from near the Royal Hotel to the company's station at the Packet-yard; the land thereby reclaimed from the sea is to be used for the enlargement of the station and for quays and wharves, vn condition that the land and water frontage shall be leased to the railway for 21 years, at such rent as the Admiralty may determine, and providing that certain spe cified portions of the quays shall be set apart for the free Use of the public. A PROBABLE CHRONOLOGY. 1860. Mr. Armstrong, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, invents rifled ordnance that will knock any ship to Pieces. He is knighted, and the Admiralty is be nighted. 1861. The Admiralty recovers, and in- Vents iron ships that resists any known cannon balls, 1862. Sir W. Armstrong invents a gun that enaashes the iron ships into blacksmithereens. The Admiralty collapses. 1863. The Admit alty re-ex lands and invents nlatina ships fastened with dia 3/10nd cement, and Sir W. Armstrong's balls fly to pieces like bon-bons. Mr. Gladstone doubles the income tax. 1864. Sir W Armstrong invents brazen thunderbolts (supposed to be the original Jupiters) and in a pleasing experiment sends the greater part of the British fleet to the bottom of the sea. 1865. The Admiralty invents torpedo vessels which sail Under water, and below any range of guns. Sir W. Armstrong tears his hair and swears in the New castle dialect. 1866. Sir W. Armstrong invents a verti c al gun that discharges Greek fire straight down, and a second time he destroys the greater Part of the British fleet. The Lords of the Admi ralty are about to hang themselves, when a thought strikes them, and they don't. Mr. Gladstone again doubles the income tax. 1867. Dr. Cumming, who has for some weeks been having in his coals by the sack only, suddenly proclaims the Millennium. As there is now to be peace everywhere, the Admi ralty does not invent anything, but waits to see. In order to test Dr Cumming's veracity, and to find out whether lions will lie down with kids, the Zoo logical Society (against the advice of their excel lent secretary, Mr. Selater) let loose their biggest lion while a charity school is i' the gardens. As the lion, instead of lying down with a kid, only lies down to digest him, the Admiralty thinks there is some mistake somewhere and determines to invent a new fleet. Mr. Gladstone once more doubles the Income-tax. 1868. The Admiralty invents a stone fleet, with cork keels, and defies Sir Win. Arm strong. 1869. Sir William Armstrong invents the Hannibal, or alp •shell, which contains the strongest vinegar, and melts the stone ships. Hav ing for the third time destroyed the British fleet, he is raised to the peerage as Lord Bomb. 1870. The Admiralty invents an aerial fleet, which sails in the clouds, out of shot range, and the First Lord takes a double sight at Sir Wm. Armstrong. Mr. Gladstone a fourth time doubles the income-tax. 1 871. Lord Bomb invents a baloon battering-train and in an experimental discharge brings down all, the British fleet into the Garman Ocean. 1872. The Admiralty, in desperation, invents a subter ranean fleet, which is to be conveyed by tunnels to all the colonies, bat Mr. Gladstone blandly suggests that, as everybody now pays twice his income in taxes, the people may object to further imposts un less some proof of economy is given. Government t herefore stop the pensions of 100 superannuated clerks, discharge some extra night porters at the ' treasury, and bring in estiraates for the subterra nean fleet. 1873. Lord Bomb invents his typhons, a. r earthquake shells, and suff'acates the British fleet 10 th e Tasmania Tunnel. Mr. Gladstone a fifth time d oubles the income tax. 1874. The Emperor of the French proclaims the Millennium, which of course il amediately occurs ; no IR lore war ships are wanted a nd the collectors remit the quarter's income tax not y e t due. Lord Bomb invents his volcano fire 'works in honour of the oecasion, and by some acei gaut burns up the public.—Punch. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. • ' Paid. Leasing Closing Business Railways.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE SUFFERERS- This morning death terminated the sufferings of Edward Rawley (inmate of King's College Hospital), whose lower jaw was blown away by the explosion. Morrissy is still in a very precarious state, but the others are going on favourably. One of the assistants of Mr. Warr, before whose shop the catastrophe occurred, sustained a severe scalp wound at the time, but nothing serious was anticipated. Yesterday he became delirious, and has continued so up to the present time. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. LONDON GAZETTE.—( This Evening). POLICE A DMMISTRATIVE.—PASSEPOIITS. Mesures de tolerance a regard des Voyageurs. Instructions Com pl ementaires. His Excellency the Governor-General has addressed the following Circular to the Prefects of the Algerine Depart ments : M Algiers, April 2, 1862, M. le Pref e t,—l n my circular of the 6th of March last, I acquainted y ou with the measures of tolerance which had been concerted by his Excellency the Minister of the In terior and myself, regarding travellers going from France to Algeria, and vice versa. The carrying out of these measures has caused some doubts to arise which I shall dispel in answering the dif ferent questions which have been addressed to me. First question :—As regards travellers going from Algeria to France, can only those who land at Marseilles dispense with passports ? Marseilles is at present the only port of France where there exists a regular service for the transport of travellers from the metropolis to Algeria, and therefore that port alone has been mentioned. But it is self-evident that the measure will apply successively to the other ports of France, where transport services of a similar kind will, in time, be estab lished. Second question :—As regards travellers going from France to Algeria, does the measure apply to all our coun trymen without distinction ? Doubtless; and, in order to impress on the Algerian authorities th e exten t o f t h e measures o f which itis com posed, I think it right to recapitulate the terms of the Circular on the same subject, addressed, on the 15th of March last, by the Minister of the interior to the Prefects of France : " The formality of the passport will no longer be obliga .ory on travellers from France to Algeria, as regards— " Ist. Our countrymen "2d. Foreign subjects who are by reciprocity authorised to enter France without passports. " 3d. Foreigners of all countries already domiciled in the interior of the empire. " 4th. Lastly, foreign emigrants, who, provided with regular letters of colonisation, delivered in the name of the Governor-General of Algeria, would wish to visit our pos sessions in Africa at their own expense." Third question :—As regards French subjects coming from Algeria, would dispensing with a passport no longer apply to them if they had to continue their journey into the interior ? Obligation to carry a passport, not having been sup pressed in regard to those French subjects travelling in the interior of the Empire, the measure could not have the ' effect of bestowing, upon the Algerian French, an immu nity which their countrymen of the metropolis do not enjoy. It would therefore be prudent on the part of those who would have to travel in the interior of the Empire, to provide themselves with passports before their departure, to avoid the trouble which the necessity of their procuring them at Marseilles might occasion. Fourth question the passport always obligatory for French subjec s and foreigners travelling on the coast of Algeria and into the interior of the country. My circular of the 6th of March last did not give any ex planations on this subject, because it only treated of mea sures concerted with the Minister of the Interior; but, since the question has been made to me, I do not hestate to answer it, in accordance in the spirit of tolerance which dictated the first measures. In fact, I see no plausible rea son why a formality should be demanded from those travel ling on the shores or in the interior of the colony, from which they would be freed from, on entering France. I have decided, in consequence, that a passport will no longer be necessary in travelling from one port to the other of the coast of Algeria, or in the interior of the country, as regards these travellers to whom my measures of tolerance, which form the subject of my instructions of the 6th of March last, and of the circular from the Ministers of the Interior of the 15th of the same month, apply. Besides, it must be well understood, that the supp ession of the pass port, in certain cases, in nowise does away with the surveil lance over travellers, on the arrival and departure of steam boats, on the coast and in the interior of the colony. The toleration granted to those who travel fur the purpose of affairs of science or of pleasure, could not be extended to vagrants and vagabDnds, to fugitives from justice, and to dangerous persons, of whatever kind they may be. Therefore, M. le Prefet, in the interest of public security, and in accor lance with the laws and rules of police, tra • yellers may always be required by the agents of the autho rities to make good their origin and their identity, and to produce, in default of regular passports, family papers, ust-worthy documents, or any other testimony, the worth and truthfulness of which should be carefully verified.— Accept, &c. The Governor-General of Algeria, Marshal PELISSIER, Duke of Malakoff. FOREIGN-OFFICE, APRIL 16.

Mr. Knox said he had to consider the poor horses as well as the persons they belonged to, and if he had any feeling in the matter it was towards the poor animals. Mr. Cherry had stated that the horse was an old overworked horse, and that there were marks of severe flogging, and he relied on what he stated, having also seen the horse himself. The defendant was then fined 10s. and costs, altogether 235. Mr. Love asked for the officer's costs, but Mr. Knox re. fused the application. SPORTING IN7ELLIG.ENCE. TATTERSALLS'—YESTBRDA.T. The extreme fineness of the weather had an effect upon the attendance this afternoon, which for an off-day was the largest we have witnessed this season. Business was, how ever, entered into with little spirit, the transactions upon each of the events enumerated below just affording us an opportunity of compiling a list. The only noticeable feature of the afternoon was the strong disposition to back Old Calabar for the rwo Thousand Guineas and the Derby, 3 to 1 being repeatedly accepted about the former, and 10 to 1 to some money for the latter. The following will fully represent the business done : NEWMARKET HANDICAP. sto 1 agst Yarra (taken) sto 1 agst Finlande (taken) 7to 1 agst Carbineer (taken) 7to 1 agst Gabrielle d'Estrees (taken) 10 to 1 agst Stanton (taken) 10 to 1 agst Ducat (taken) 20 to 1 agst Magnum Bonum (taken) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 3to 1 agst Old Calabar (taken) Bto 1 agst Alvodiston (offered, take 9to 1) Bto 1 agst Caterer (offered, take 9to 1) 11 to 1 agst Wingrave (taken) 100 to 8 agst Nottingham (taken) CHESTER CUP. 10 to 1 agst Zodiac (taken) 12 to 1 agst Hadji Stavros (taken) 13 to 1 agst Caractacus (taken) 15 to 1 agst Fairwater (taken) 20 to 1 agst Agag (taken) • 25 to 1 agst Jung Frau (taken) 25 to 1 agst Stamped() (taken) 25 to 1 agst Wild Rose (offered, take 30 to 1) 33 to 1 Rubicon (taken) 33 to 1 agst Simla (taken and offered) THE DERBY. sto 1 agst Buckstone (offered) 10 to 1 agst Old Calabar (taken) 20 to 1 agst Marquis (taken) 26 to 1 agst Caractacus (taken) HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAUE- MENTS.

DRAKE'S HOUNDS. The sale of this celebrated pack took place yesterday, at the Kennels, Stratton Audley, three miles from the railway station at Bicester, Oxfordshire, and nearly 2,000 persons had assembled in the paddock adjoining the stables before Mr. Tattersall began selling. The weather was most sus picious, a large number of masters of foxhounds were on the spot, and huntsmen followed in abundance. Al er par taking of a cold collation the gentlemen gathered round the railed arena, and business commenced. In less than two hours 54 couples of working hounds and 20 couples of puppies had realised 2,781 guineas; three brood bitches fetched 87 guineas, and 23 horses 1,494 guineas. Much regret was expressed at the retirement of Mr. Drake ; but the sorrow of the country gentlemen was alle viate by the announcement that Captain Peyton, eldest son of Sir Henry Peyton, had taken the country. A DRMOCRATIC VIEW OF A CHEAP PRESS.— In England for the last 30 years there has been more of constitutional liberty than there ever was before, and the reason is that the press, in consequence of the high tax upon newspapers, fell into the hands of men of intelligence and men of capital, men who had a stake in the community, and would do nothiftg to endanger the general welfare or kindle the fires of revolution. Of late the high tax has been removed, and cheap papers of a revolutionary character have sprung up like mushrooms, and the once respectable press contaminated now imitates them, in consequence of the public taste having become vitiated and depraved. The re sult is that England is going rapidly down the hill, and will soon be at the bottem. In France, the cheap press at the time of the Revolution, wielded by desperate demagogues like Marat, caused those frightful ex6esses which made the angels weep. In the last days of the reign of Louis Philippe it was the cheap press that revolutionised Paris and de throned that monarch. Louis Napoleon, fearing the same result in regard to himself, put a bridle in the mouth of the press and destroyed its freedom. It is a well ascertained ti uth of h story that in France a free cheap press cannot exist without producing revolution. Now, the true remedy which Napoleon ought to have applied, was that which was so long adopted in England, but is now unfortunately aban doned—taxation. And that is the remedy for the licenti ousness of the press in. the 'United States. It ought to be taxed like whisky or any other luxury, and such a price put on newspapers as will cause them to be read chiefly by intellectual men. The ( heap and nasty demagogic papers which now exist have done much to bring the coun try into its present deplorable condition. The true remedy for the evil, the true censorship, is a high tax upon public journals. Nothing will so tend to the purification of public morals.—New York Herald. _ A bronze statue, larger than life, has just been placed on a pedestal temporarily in front of the Palais de .._ _ P Industrie, in the Champs Elyseas. It r e p resen t s B o i ssy d'Angl as , w h o occup i e d th e President's c h a i r i n th e Na tional Convention during the first revolution, when the mob forced the doors of the Assembly and presented to the President the bleeding head of the deputy Feraud, whom they had just murdered. Boissy d'Anglas raised his hat as a mark of respect to his unfortunate colleague. He then resumed his seat, and by his firmness induced the intruders to withdraw. This terrible episode is represented in bronze on the pedestal. The statue is intended for the town of St. Jean-Chambre, in the Ardeche, where Boissy d'Anglas was born of ancient Protestant family.

On a previous day a carman in the employ of Mr. Man sell, was charged before Mr. Knox, by one of the officers of the Royal Society, with cruelly using the horse, but on that occasion Mr. Knox ordered a summons to be taken out against the owner of the horse. Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the Metropolitan Police, said he had examined the horse and found it to be very old, lame, diseased, and totally unfit for use. It was hardly able to move itself, and he considered it an act of cruelty to send it out. There were traces of the horse 'having been severely flogged also, and it was a very bad case. Mr. Knox said he should insist on the poor animal, after what was said by Mr. Cherry, being put out of its misery, and he would adjourn the case for that purpose. On the case again coming before Mr. Knox, Mr. Love said the beast had been de-troyed. A person attended for Mr. Mansell, and, in mitigation, said that Mr. Mansell was not aware that the horse had been flogged as stated, and that he was not an unkind man to his horses, Harry Greene, farmer, Hepworth, Suffolk George Tindall, shipping agent, Dalston John Todd, cheesemonger, Pleasant -pl ace, Holloway- road William C.

There are many reasons why England should be only partially and imperfectly known in this country. There are not very many Italians fully conversant with the English language, and, with the exception of a few political exiles, Italian traveliers are seldom induced to prolong their stay beyond the Chan nel to gain a clear insight of British institutions and of the peculiarities of the Anglo• Saxon character. On the other hand, English tourists, even when they settle in some of the cities of the Penin sula for any length of time, live pretty much to themselves, frequenting the Courts or a few houses of the high nobility, and a certain amount of shyness, or even mutual repulsion, prevents their familiar intercourse with what may be called the sound mass of the people. Most of the information the Italians gain on the subject of England and the English is obtained through the not very fair channel of the French press and literature. Not a few of the old French prejudices and exaggerations about Eng lish oligarchy, about the wretched poverty, the drunken profligacy, and the brutality of the lower classes, the sell ing of wives in the market -place, the venality of commis sions in the army and livings in the church, the hundred anomalies and monstrosities of the English body politic, linger still in force among half-educated Italians. It is French knowledge secondhand, aggravated, too, by instinc tive abhorrence of anything heretical inculcated by the priests in early training. It is very clear, however, that the Italians, who never meditated a descent upon the British coasts, who have no Waterloo to revenge, and who labour rather under ignor ance than settled animosity, entertain a vague but earnest admiration of a people whom they see no Tess peopling than subduing the earth, and their no leas warm than true in stincts inspire them with a strong wish really and inti mately to know that England abcut which they hear and talk so Lanai, and with which they must needs acknow ledge their acquaintance is yet so indistinct. The short extracts of Lord Palmerston's speech in the House of Commons on Friday last, which reached Italy on Sunday evening by telegraph, produced a sensation which could not be easily described. Early in the morning of yesterday we had the London morning papers of Saturday, and before evening the substance of the long debate on Italian affairs which led to the Premier's remarkable speech was extensively known. The journals of this morn ing have already a few scraps of the salient points of that momentous debate, and I am told the whole short-hand report of the Times is now being translated, to appear word for word in the shape of a popular pamphlet. " Thanks to the noble advocates of the Italian cause in the Imperial British Parliament I" I hear every one-say in;,* " Thanks, too, to its ruthless enemies and traducers. Sir George Bowyer, Mr. B. Cochrane, Mr. Hennessy, and Mr. Maguire will henceforth rank very high in the list of our benefactors, for without their provocation so much sym pathy could hardly have been elicited from their eloquent opponents ; Mr. Layard, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Duff, Mr. Milnes, and Lord Palmerston might hardly have had so good an opportunity of speaking out, and the House might have long waited for a chance of so clearly evincing its real leaning in the question." The English House of Commons has poured very balm on the wound s inflicted on Italian feelings by the narrow-minded, bigoted, j ealous, unrighteous diatribes and invectives launched in the French Senate and House of Representatives against an unoffending people, into whose teeth the blood shed at Magenta and Solferino was thrown with a harshness betray ing the intent of turning a blessing into a curse. The cheering anticipations of two of Queen Vic , oria's advisers with respect to a speedy and happy solution of the tantalising Roman ques tion bring kindly comfort to men worried and disheartened by that dark, fickle, and crooked policy which hints at the re call of Guyon, and ends by the removal of Lavalette. No doubt the Italians are too wise, most of them, to fancy that England will wage war against France to bring about by main force the occupation of their capital. They know well enough, or they will be clearly told, that the word "hopes" in English is often merely synonymous with "kind wishes." They can easily understand what is meant by the " settled policy" of England—a policy in the wisdom of which they may be easily made to acquiesce. They are aware, for their own demagogues of the French school have long been dinning it into their ears, that England never did, never will contribute " one man or one shilling" to the triumph of their cause, but they are not blind to the fact that free England is the ruler of European opinion, and that a prin ciple advocated by the English press, proclaimed in the British Parliament, is morally sure to prevail in the end. They have full faith that the real master of the situation in Italy, he that hesitates between the Pope and Italy—the Emperor Napoleon—is especially swayed by any voice ris ing against him on the other side of the Channel, and bent, by his own instinct of self-preservation, upon securing the goodwill of the English nation at any price. It may be easy for the Pays, the Patrie, or for some Parisian pam phleteer to sneer at the "moral support" of England ; but moral influence is a thousand times stronger than physical force in the long run, and the Italians feel that when Lord Palmerston predicted the speedy deliverance of their capital he spoke words that would not fall to the ground, words that it would not be easy for the leader of 500,000 bayonets to resist. Such are, as I can honestly assure you, and as you will readily believe, the feelings with which my Italian friends rise from a perusal of the English Parliamentary debate of last Friday; and it would do hearty good to any English man to see the countenances of these pe , tple beaming with a gratitude which no words can convey, to hear them asserting that " England has fully achieved her own share in the work of their emancipation—that she has in her turn fought her own Magenta and Solferino in their behalf." The Deputy Marliani, of Bologna, will in a few days leave Turin for London, charged with the negotiation of a treaty of commerce between the English and the Italian Governments. M. Marliani, a venerable patriot of the noblest character, is well known to most of the English lading statesmen. He liv e d m an y years i n Sp a i n , wher e e was a member of the Cortes, whence he was sent to fill the office of Spanish diplomatic representative at the Court of St. James's. He was, more lately, a great favourite with Count Cavour, who took him into his councils during those transactions which led to the campaign of Lombardy in 1859. M. Marliani accompanied the great Italsn states man on his visit to Paris and London at the juncture, and enjoyed the fullest confidence, not only of the Count, but also of the most distinguished and influential persons both in the English Government and in the then Opposition. The Rattazzi Government undoubtedly continue to show a disposition to go the right way about the pacification of the Southern provinces. After appointing General Cosenz to the Prefecture of Bari, they, as you know, offered the same office to Bixio in the Basilicata, and it is now added they harbour a wish to send out General Turr as Prefect at Naples. It is quite sure that these genertls, as being Gari baldi's own men, will be received with enthusiasm in those districts where the name of the Liberator is the object of actual worship ; and, at the same time, Cosenz, Bixio, and Turr, as well as Sirtori, are equally stanch to the cause of order and of the Monarchy of Victor Emmanuel. They are men of tact and energy, and well know how to manage those Southern populations who ask no better than to have kind-hearted but strong and effi cient rulers over them. The only drawback is that Bixio is said to hesitate about accepting the offer that was made to him, and nothing is as yet known about Turr's intentions. Cosenz has already reached Bari, and has been welcomed with loud cries of " Viva Vittorio Etrunanuele 1 Viva Gariba;di 1" Rattaszi himself, who will go to Naples with the King, is sure of a warm reception, owing to the presumption that he is on the best terms with Garibaldi, as ha did not vote for the bill which made over Nice to France, and made the popular Italian hero a stranger in his own native place. Garibaldi is expected at Brescia, where preparations are being made for his arrival. The enthusiasm of all the other cities of Lombardy will be as nothing to compare with that of the bravest and most patriotic of all Italian towns. Garibaldi will find among those far-famed " Brescian hearts" feelings congenial to his own.

Last night a public meeting of the ratepayers and voters of Lambeth was held in the large room of the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to oppose the removal of the tramway from Kennington Park to Westminster -bridge, Mr. Hugh Wallace was called to the chair shorty after eight o'clock, when the room was filled by persons who seemed to take a lively interest in the matter. The CHAIRMAN was commencing the proceedings, when he was interrupted by cries of "You are not a ratepayer," and great uproar, in the midst of which Mr. Wallace said he was a ratepayer, and handed his card to a person who with very vio;ent gesticu lation advanced to the platform, and demanded it. He then proceeded to say that he was a large rate payer, and connected with a large firm, whose place of business was not far from that spot. The only object he had in taking the chair was to pro tect the interests not only of the ratepayers but of the inhabitants of Lambeth. The question they were met to discuss was one which affected the in terests not only of the inhabitants of Lambeth but of the whole of the metropolis, and, indeed, of the kingdom. (Loud cheers) The question was, tram way or no tramway. The vestry of Lambeth had given Mr. Train leave to construct a tramway for the general benefit of the public. Rightly or wrongly, they believed they had a legal right to do that, and he would say that, as it was not always they found the vestry on the side of the public, he hoped that when they were so, they would receive the unanimous and zealous support of the inhabitants in any further proceedings that might be requisite to sustain their rights, and the rights and interests of the poor which were threat esed by recent proceedings against the tramway by uninterested parties. He would state that the vans of his own firm had daily passed over the tramway with precious goods without the slightest accident of any kind. That was a public meeting, not a packed one. Every one should have a fair hearing, and he hoped that the vestry and Mr. Train would besupported in their united endeavours to promote the comfort and the convenience of the inhabitants at large. (Cheers.) For himself he had no pecuniary interest in the tramway beyond what any other traveller got by it, and he took the chair solely from a sense of public duty. (Cheers.) Mr. WC - melanin' said a quibble had been raised as to the eligibility of the chairman for his position. Now, he was not a ratepayer of Lambeth, but, as an inhabitant of the metropolis, he claimed a right to speak on a question of domestic economy, the sanitary reform, and moral reform. If Mr. Train's tramway was carried out, as it ought to be, to the downs and wolds of Streatham, Brixton, and Clap ham, instead of stopping at Kennington Park, as at present, one great object of a late representative of that borough —of carrying the working classes into healthily-situated dwellings —would have a beneficial effect upon both their physical and their moral health. The resolution he had to propose was, " That this meeting is of opinion that the vestry had the right to enter into the contract with Mr. Train, and that they exercised that right for the interest and convenience of the parish. Therefore, this meeting pledges itself to sustain them in the exercise of that right." With respect to the legal question involved, he would only say that he deeply regretted the manner in which, Mr. Train had been dealt with by a British jury, (Hear, hear, and oh, oh !) He regretted that any jealousies as to that gentleman being a foreigner should have been excited, and though he did not sujpose that any decision that meeting might come to would in the slightest degree influence the judges to whom the legal questions at issue were referred, yet in this country public opinion was an influence which every public benefactor might fairly endeavour to enlist on his side. Mr. HEN RETTE seconded the resolution, and strongly condemned the hostile animas which had been exhibited towards Mr. Train, an American, one of our cousins, who was now more than ever entitled to our friendship and sympathy. As to the value of the improvement he had introduced, there was a very simple method of dealing with those who had caused that interruption. Those who be lieved that Mr. Train's tram carriages were cheap, comfortable, safe, and convenient, would be good enough to hold up their hands. (Nearly the whole meeting answered this appeal.) Those who wished to clamber up to the top of, or get stifled is narrow and ill-ventilated old-fashioned omnibuses, hold up their hands. (Two hands were held up in the midst of shouts of derisive laughter. He thanked the meeting for that decisive settlement of the ques tion, so far as they were concerned, and heartily seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing Mr. Bubb, a member of the Newington Vestry, to support the motion, said that they had been careful to exclude from all participation in the proceedings of that meeting members of the Lambeth Vestry, as well as the shareholders in the tramway, or persons in any way pecuniarily interested. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BUDD haviLg briefly spoken, The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried wits the same two dissentients, amidst loud cheers. Mr. FRANKLYN moved the second resolution, which was—" That this meeting is of opinion that vestrymen should not be held individually respon sible for acts done by them in their corporate capa city, and under their common seal, as such a respon sibility would deter respectable citizens from acting as vestrymen, and would be destructive to the rights and authority of all corporate bodies and local Go vernment." He was proud that this question had been raised in Lambeth, where the great majority were working men, always ready to come forward in support of popular rights. It was of the utmost importance that the vestry should be sustained in the course they had taken. They ought to do more. There was a bill in Parliament proposed by Mr. Ayrton, the member for another great metropolitan borough, the object of which was to promote the general formation of tramways on common roads, and he earnestly urged that they should petition Parliament in support of that bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Train was here recognised in the body of the meeting, and, in spite of the opposition of the chairman, was forced on the platform by the meeting and greeted with three cheers. Mr. HEALEY seconded the resolution. The for mation of iron roads on the common roads was one of the deepest interest to the working-classes. They had upwards of 10,000 miles of iron railway roads, and be saw no reason why they should not have 10,000 miles of tramways on common roads for connect e d vestry) general accom mo d at i on. sai lk d i , r t . h G o u n g E h s n ( o a t m d e i r m e cbtelry o of h r indirectly that mee ti ng , h e f e l t it necessary t o correct a misapprehension which appeared to him to exist. It was supposed that the jury at Kingst on h ad con victed Mr. Train, the foreigner, while they had let the vestry g o scot free. That was not the case. Upon i e n tdhicotuegdhftort h a a e t o tnhsep ir v a e e s y tr t y o m o e b n s tru h e a t d th a e s muc h right to complain of t h e way in which they an ex parte statement Mr. Train a n d twelve of the h ve ig st h r w y o w y e . r H e were treated.as Mr. Train. He was ashamed of h i s country on the occasion. Before the case was q uite over the twelve special jurymen said there wa s no occasion to proceed further, and gave a ver dict against the whole of the twelve vestrymen, as well as Mr. Train. It was upon the suggestion of their counsel that the judge gave leave to say whether the Terdict against them would lie in Westminster Fall. The question would be tried in bane° he hop e d next week, and meantime Mr. Train had a right to complain that he had not been heard in his own defence by a British jury. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was passed, with the same two dissentients. Mr. WARWICK moved the next resolution, which was, " That this meeting is of opinion that the tramway is a great public convenience and advan tage, and suppli es a d e fi c i ency l ong f e lt hithertoin this district, and that every effort should be made to secure its continuance." The resolution was agreed to by the same over whelming majority, and a deputa tion was app o i nte d to wait up on t h e ves t r y . at their next meeting to communicate the resolutions passed at the m eet i ng. Mr. T RAIN t h en addressed the meeting, in the midst of t umu ltuous and enthu si astic cheers , and the proceedings closed with a vote of thank s to the chairman. m m of n, os e al !a. re It, 10 is d. )e
