The fears which were entertained as to the spread of the relapsing fever have been only too fully justi fled. At the meeting of the Metropolitan Asylum managers on Saturday the Chairman informed them that a few weeks ago the relapsing fever was con fined to three London parishes, but now it had been found in 32 out of the 37 metropolitan parishes and unions of parishes. It was before arranged that a temporary hospital should be erected on the grounds of the London Fever Hospital, and this will be opened in a few days. The Poor-law Board was communi cated with in order to ascertain if they were prepared with the necessary accommodation for the anticipated increase of patients. It appeared from the answer received that the guardians of the parish of Camberwell bad agreed to obtain an iron building for the purpose of receiving those suffering from relapsing and other fevers. In that parish the greater number of these cases had come from the vagrant ward, and therefore it was deemed expedient to construct a small hospital for vagrants in connec tion with the vagrant wards. It would be well if other parishes would follow the example of Camber- well, but such has not been the case as yet.

The Conservative journals of to-day have made an announcement which will afford great satisfaction to the public. The Committee, who have charge of the Memorial to Lord DERBY, have abandoned the origi nal intention of placing a statue in the Carlton Club, and propose that the memorial shall be erected in some public place, and that contributions shall be received from all parts of the country. They are much to be commended for having come to this decision, and it will afford great gratification to the numerous friends and admirers of the late lamented Earl. It is always desirable to separate the memory of a departed States man, as much as possible, from the mere party attributes which appertained to him in life, and in the :case of the distinguished noble man before us no great effort need be made. Lord DERBY advocated the cause of his party with vigour and eloquence, but he was not a party mar in the fullest acceptation of the term. He took a wide range of observation, and he possessed many of those sterling qualities which men of all ranks in this coun try appreciate and admire. He has passed away from among us, his friends can no more smile at his wit, nor his foes shrink from his powerful criticism, he can no longer command the applause of listening Senates, nor assist in the Councils of his Sovereign, but his memory lingers among us associated not so much with the high and honourable distinctions re corded: above, as with the genial qualities and frank spirit which were his particular traits, his noted characteristics. Lord DERBY was an Eng lishman who fully recognised the great qualities of his countrymen, and it is right and fitting that his countrymen should do him honour. To place a statue in the precincts of a building that is dedicated to a political purpose, would not at all realise the wish that pervades the minds of those who recognised iu him a great statesman and an honourable exponent of his order. Such a memorial should be placed in some public spot, so that it may appear a work of importance and a national tribute to the memory of a distinguished man. The Carlton Club may gracefully and appro priately afford SOME testimony to its most honoured member, but the memorial par excellence should not be there ; and hence the decision of the committee is a wise and fitting one. The generations that come after us should be informed that his survivors respected the memory of one who acted with uprightness, and ad mired the talents which were exercised in the service of his country. Lord DERBY himself would have wished his statue to be placed where the public might be within sight and observation. It has been truly said, to " live in hearts we leave behind is not to die ;" and the late Earl will long live in the grate ful recollection of many. It is advisable, however, that some public token should be afforded of the high and honourable place which he held in the general estimation, and some tribute be paid to the services of one who strove with so much spirit and resolution to do the best he could for his day and generation. The noble Earl's long career is over, his work is finished, and his task accom plished ; but, inasmuch as he laboured with zeal and ability in the service of his fellow-countrymen, and was a shining light for the historic pages of the future, it is well that political prejudices and par tialities should be laid aside, and that the last .honour that can be paid to departed worth, should be rendered in a national spirit to one whose proudest claim to distinction consisted not in being Whig or Conservative, Liberal or Radical, but in dis playing those qualities which inspire alike all parties and command the respect of the highest and the lowest. Let the DERBY Memorial, then, be con ducted in a comprehensive spirit, and friends and followers, opponents and contemporaries can meet on common ground to recognise the truth, that while death levels all party and paltry distinctions it only calls forth in fresh fervour and strengthens with new zeal the respect and reverence which are felt for those whom mankind will not willingly forget, and whose recollection cannot pass away with their earthly existence. THE Times deserves credit fo; an act of enterprise and energy. On Monday the PRESIDENT of the United States delivered his Message. More than two columns of it appeared in the Times the next morning. Given at this length we are enabled to do that which REUTER'S telegrams very rarely enable us to do— form a just conception of the subject of the telegram. Though Presidents' Messages have no longer the interest which they once possessed, though they are no longer manifestoes affecting the very existence of the nation most deeply con cerned in them, nor the peace of our own country, they are still worthy of consideration. For beyond all question the United States will in the course of a few years occupy the foremost place among the countries of the world, foremost in social advancement and in political influence. We shall do well, there fore, to study this Message, and see how far it is a message of prosperity to one side of the Atlantic, how far it is a message of peace to the other. The conqueror of the South on the battle-field is able to announce that his victories have not been in vain, and that he will complete them at the Capitol. It is one thing to subdue a people by force; it is another to restore it to willing obedience. One by one the revolted States have complied with the conditions prescribed by the American constitution until there is now only one which still maintains its position of hostility. Only Georgia, the State that SHERMAN traversed and devastated in his wonderful march, still holds out. It can hardly be supposed this attitude will be maintained much longer. If in old time Texas found the position I _on do, there is no chance of a settlement of this too long vexed question. The PRESIDENT expresses a different hope. We in England most heartily share it; but hope is not expectation, and if it is to be a condition of settlement that we acknow ledge ourselves wrong at the outset, this dispute will remain unadjudicated throughout all time. Mean while, it is satisfactory to find that the chief ruler of the United States admits that some improvement is possible in the commercial relations between the United States and Canada, and that colonies cannot be transferred from one allegiance to another without their consent. When he predicts that England will before long see that it is for her interest to establish her present dependencies as "independent Powers, members of the family of na tions," we are certainly not inclined to contradict him. The event is all the more likely to happen if the Washington Government maintains its present attitude towards our American colonies, that of leaving them to work out their own independence. THE KELLY DIVORCE CAUSZ In the Divorce Court, on Tuesday, Lord Penzance gave judgment in the cause of " Kelly v. Kelly." He was of opinion that the respondent was guilty of cruelty to his wife, and treated her more as a slave than his wife. She was not allowed to be mistress of her own house, and this in itself was a great grievance to a woman who had never done aught to deserve such treatment. In fact, Mr. Kelly treated his wife as if she had been guilty of adultery. He also used harsh language. The learned judgo then proceeded to lay down the law as to the husband's and wife's rights in a clear and forcible manner. The wife gave up all she pocsesscd pecuniarii}• and all her civil rights save by using the name of the husband ; but, on the other hand, she was freed from lia bility„ even in cases of great crime where she acted under his directions. The daily life of Mrs. Kelly had been almost as bad as if she had been in prison. No wonder that her health was affected ; and this— the most important view of the case—was not denied by the respondent, and had been ampl3 proved by the medical testimony. his lordship, before pronouncing a judicial separation with costs against the respondent, added, "It is to a repetition of this conduct that Mr. Kelly expects the court will order his wife tc return. Such a view of its duties would be discreditable to the court, for the first duty of a matrimonial court i: , the protection of a wife's health and interests. The respon dent invokes the authority of the law that the wife shall be subject to her husband, but he forgets to add, 'in all things reasonable." THE CHRISTY MINSTRELS IN COURT. In the Court of Exchequer, on Tuesday, an action wa' beard which created considerable interest. The action was brought by Mr. Hunt, a photographer, carrying on business in Piccadilly, against Mr. Frederick Burgess, the manager of the C. C. C. Minstrels, to recover damages for assault and slander. Mr. Bipton, in opening the case, said the plaintifi was employed by the various members of the C. C. C. Company to photograph them in the different characters they assumed. About the 6th of October he had taken a photograph of the daughter of Mr. Moore, one of the Company, in what was called the Grecian Bend. Mr. Hunt had, ever since th?, C. C. C's had carried on their performances at St. James's Hall, enjoyed the privilege of what was called a " face admis sion," which admitted him whenever he pre sented himself. On the 6th of October he went to the ball as usual, and entered into conversation with Mr. Moore about his daughter's photograph when the check-taker came up and said he had been ordered not to let him in. Mr. Burgess came up just after, and called him a thief and a loafer, and said he had robbed him of 3s. (the amount of entrance money), and this was the slander complained of. He re monstrated with Mr. Burgess, who spat upon him, and threw his arms round his (Mr. Hunt's) neck. The plaintiff was called, and described the assault as detailed by the learned counsel, adding that the defendant throttled him until he became black in the face. In con sequence of the injury done to his throat and the shock to his system ,he was obliged to obtain medical advice, and had been incapacitated from work almost ever since. He estitnated 11i3 loss at about L'4o. His takings were about £5 per week. The defendant pleaded that he only used the necessary force to exclude the plaintiff from the hall ; which he had no right to enter except upon payment. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. SUSPE2YSION OF THE ERIE RAILWAY 31ANAGERS, An important step has been taken in the long-pending Erie Railway litigation. An order has been issued sus pending Gould, Fisk, Lane, and their associates from taking any part in the business or management of the line. This vigorous and somewhat unlooked-for measure has been carried out by the transfer of the scene of action from New York to Delaware county. The creditors, stockholders, and others have long been endeavouring to force the managers to give some account of their pro ceedings, but, thanks to the audacity of the offenders and the secret and indirect influence exercised over the judges, courts, and councillors of Now York, they had no chance of success. The application which has procured the order was made to Judge Murray, Delaware County Senator James Ramsay being the plaintiff. The complaint covers ninety pages, and the main allegations are that Mr. Lane forced himself into the Board of Directors by purchase of proxies ; that ho and Mr. Eldridge who desired to change the management of the company for purposes of speculation found " one Joy Gould," and "one James Fisk," and took them into their secrets ; that the four conspired together to obtain control of the election of directors, and procured tha election of themselves and some allies, the old directors being 1 ef t out; that Drew became treasurer, and Eldridge and Gould got into the Executive Committee. The bye laws of the com- Fany, according to this complaint, have been systematically ignored, by uniting the offices of President and Treasurer in Gould, and uniting the duties of auditor and commit tee on accounts in Fisk ; rendering the vice-presi dent's po, , ition nominal; omitting reports from Trea surer and auditor; usurping the powers of Execu tive Committee and directors; creating a floating debt of five million dollars ; keeping directors and stockholders in ignorance of the condition of the company, and by unauthorised issues of bonds and stock. Gould and Fisk are also charged with secretly issuing five millions of stock in spite of a prohibitory injunction, and selling it for four millions, $375,000 of which they never paid the company. It is charged that the outstanding com mon stock of the company has been increased since Gould and Fisk obtained full power, from $34,265,000 to ~ the enormous sum of $70,0)0,000, and that this startling in crease has not been attended with any material additions to the earnings, any material extension of the line, or the payment of a dollar of dividend. The applicant therefore prayed the court to suspend the functions of the defendants, and to protect what property was left. The motion was granted, and an order issued which is precise in stopping all operations of Gould and Co. in issuing or selling stock, or in any way interfering with the books or the business of the company. Mn. IL W. BEECIIER.—We do not know, says an evening contemporary, whether Mr. Henry Ward Beecher was in the vicinity of the Blarney Stone when in this country. Effects similar to those said to be produced by kissing it have, particularly since the late Democratic triumph in New York, been observable occasionally in his discourses, in one of which he lately said :—" The Irish tongue was made for eloquence. It rolls as easily along as a rollicking brook through a meadow of flowers. It hums as sweetly as a whole hive of bees, each ono with his thighs laden with honey." UNEXPECTEDLY Mann'ED.—The result of a recent trial in the Supreme Court of New York seems to have caused some surprise, though agreeable rather than other wise, on the other side of the Atlantic. The action was brought by the guardian of Beatrice Bissell, an infant (in l a w), against John B. Bissell for "a limited divorce on the ground of abandonment." The defendant appears to be one of those impetuous men who despise the old ways of the world simply because they are old; and it occurred to him that he could marry himself after an improved fashion of his own. One day he took his " lady love," quite a girl, out for a drive in Central Park, and while there he ven tured to inform her that " they might be married without any ceremony as safely as if three clergymen performed the service." He then slipped a ring on the young lady's finger, saying, "This is your wedding ring; we are mar ried." They drove back to a boarding house, where they lived for some months as man and wife, and then, in pros pect of future liabilities, the defendant deserted his too confiding partner. Judge Barnard ruled, on the facts that the marriage was a valid ono by the laws of the State. All that is requisite," he observed, "is that the parties should be capable of contracting, and that they should actually contract to be man and wife." THE WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.—At the last sitting of the Academy of Sciences a paper was received from Dr. Scoutetten on a curious effect of electricity. The house of a vine-grower at Digne (Basses-Alpes) was struck by lightning a few months ago. Tho fluid penetrated into the cellar and broke several casks, the wine of which flowed into a small vat which was purposely sunk into the floor to receive any liquid spilt by accident. The proprietor, thinking his wine was spoilt, at first sold it at the rate of ten centimes a litre ; but on tasting it some time after, :ound it excellent, :.nd sold it at sixty centimes. Struck with the curiosity of the occurrence, he asked Dr. '=coutetten whether he could explain it, and was told that could only to the result of electricity, a proposition sl.ould Lo tested by direct experiment. This was dune, and succeeded to such an extent that absolutely bad qualities were transformed into valuable thinks. It so hap pened that a cask of inferior Moselle was subjected to the pro cess for a month and then forgotten. One day, however, the cellarman was ordered to put it in bottles, being at the same time informed that it was of indifferent quality. The man, having tasted it, found it on the contrary so ;ttperior in flavour that, suspecting a mistake, he went and told his cm:)loyer, who found his wine transformed into an c- - -;zellent rancia. To perform the operation the wires cf the vc.ltaie pile should be tipped with platinum, to Ivhich must be attached electrodes of the same metal, which both dip into the liauid to be improved.— . , Galignani. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. 7.—After the large business which was done in this market during November, and the contracts which producers had entered into, a pause might naturally have been looked for, even earlier than that which has occurred during the present week. Spinners had made so many engagements that they could not well abstain from buying sufficient cotton to cover them, and the sustained demand on the part of the trade gave an im petus to the Liverpool market a week since which threatened to develope itself into some days of speculative excitement. A very whole some check, however, has occurred since last Thursday. Buyers here had already bought largely, and were reluctant, under any circum stances, to follow up prices higher ; but when it transpired on Friday that the receipts of cotton at the American ports, which had previously been reported to be small, were actually larger than those of any previous week this season, the ex citement in Liverpool collapsed at once. Buyers not only declined to give the prices previously demanded by spinners and manufacturers, but withdrew most of their former offers, and since Friday last business has been nearly suspended in this market. Un der ordinary circumstances, and at this season of the year, an immediate decline in the price of both yarn and cloth would have been the result, but the business done during November this year has been unusually large, and has placed producers in a comparatively independent position. The conse quence is that, with an almost universal suspension of business so far this week, prices have yielded very little, and some spinners have made no change in their quotations. Those who would not sell a week since, and there are always some who decline to sell for distant delivery, have made some abate ment in their quotations to-day, and the few trans actions which have occurred have been upon terms more favourable than buyers could accomplish on Friday. About id. per lb. has been conceded in some cases in order to effect sales, but in most departments quotations remain unaltered. Yarns for export have been little inquired for to-day, and the turn of prices has been in favour of buyers. Low numbers remain on the whole steady, and the only alteration is that spinners are more willing to to sell on future delivery, and would willingly go ou doing so, if buyers were prepared to buy. 16's to 24's water twist yarns have been rather easier to buy. Mule yarns are also slightly easier, and the highest quotations of last week are no longer in sisted en. On the whole, however, prices remain very steady. Last week the continental buyers made a few purchases, but to-day they have been quite indisposed to give out further orders. Fine yarns, both single and twofold, are unchanged since Friday. The demand for home trade yarns has been small to-day, but spinners are well engaged and have no occasion to press sales. In a few instances they have given way id. to id. per lb. for 32's cop twist, and at this reduction a few sales were made. The cloth market has also been dull, and in. somo instances lid. per piece from the asking price of last Friday has been conceded. On the whole, however, manufacturers hold light stocks, and hare considerable engagements on hand. Quota tions of shirtiugs, and also line jacconets and nail's, may be slightly lower than they were last week, but in r2ality prices are little alter,d from the rates at which cloth was then sold. This appli,s to printing cloths and also to heavy dorn-s•ics, T cloths, and long cloths. 11 CDDE its FIE LD, Tuesday.—We h ave h a d a con siderably larger attendance of buyers representing London and other wholesale houses in our market to-day, and business in the various departments has improved accordingly. The goods most in request have been heavy makes for present use, and in some cases where the prices of these goods have been slightly reduced, sales of consi derable parcels from stock have been effected. New goods in fancy trouserings and coatings keep, however, at very firm prices. Plain good s i n me di um qualities and in black doeskins are also very firm in view of the advancing state of the wool market. Manufacturers are now delivering their spring goods, and orders are also being freely received from the autumn pattern ranges. Plaids and stripes, with narrower borders than hitherto, are along with the usu a l variety again taking the lead , of quiet mixtures, hair-lines, and other small, neutral tints. Th ere h as b een neat patterns, in a steady business doing in the local wool trade with prices very fir m . through the week, LEEDS, Tuesday.—The close of th e season an d the disagreeable weather concurred to render the woollen market to-day of a purely nominal charac ter. In the Coloured Hall the few buyers who were moving about evidently operated only by way of supplying i mme diate wants, or w ith th e o bje c t of keeping their stock properly assorted. The only special transactions were those in dark blue tweeds and heavy goods of the beaver and witney class. In the White Hall medium goods com manded an incidental inquiry, hair-lists being still transferred to a fair extent. Prices are less firmly quoted than has lately been the case, many descriptions of fabrics at present nearly out of sea son being decidedly easier to buy. The warehouse trade of the town is also very quiet, though there are several London, Manchester, and Scotch buyers looking about, but apparently more with the object of picking up jobbish lots than for anything else. A few orders are now being placed on export ac count to Australia and the continent, and, though 'VW .••• ••• Canadian representatives aro still moving about the district, we do not hear that they have got beyond the purchase of a few sample parcels of goods. While the flax and yarn trades continue quiet, the linen trade shows signs of advance. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The attendance to-day has been good, and a still firmer tone prevailed in the prices of pig iron. Very few sellers were present, most of the makers being heavily committed ahead—some for several months. Quotations to-day were, No. 1,51 s. 6d. ; No. '2, 50s. ; No. 3,48 s. ; No. 4, 478. net cash. Makers' stocks for the past month, together with the warrant stores, show a decrease of a bout 7,000 tons. This is rather unexpected, as it was thought that a slight increase would have taken place. This state of affairs tends to give greater firmness to the market. Manufactured iron is in fair demand. Shipbuilders are well employed, and report numerous inquiries. Engineers are also busier. Ironfounders are fairly occupied. It is expected that a fair demand for rails will spring up after the turn of the year. The men are DOW agitat ing for an advance of wages, but no decision has yet been come to on the subject. 10,000 PRESENTS, from 2s. Cd. to .C.l, at Part:iris and Gotto's.

THE DUKE OF GENOA AND THE SPANISH CROWN. The Gazzetta d' Italia says that the King of Italy had a conference on Saturday with the Duchess of Genoa, as to the acceptance of the Spanish crown by the young Duke. According to the Florence journal, the Duchess asked for time to consider, but left the King to understand that she would not in the end oppose the choice of the Spanish THE PRINCE OF IVALES IN YORKSHIRE. The Prince of Wales has commenced his second visit to Yorkshire this season. Leaving London by the Great Northern express at noon, his Royal Highness arrived at Holbeck at a quarter-past five. There his carriage was attached to the North Eastern train to Ripon. His Royal Highness on arriving in that city was heartily cheered by the persons assembled on the platform, and was received and escorted to Studley Royal by the Earl do Grey and Ripon, whose guest he will remain till Saturday. GREAT MEETING OF PROTECTIONISTS AT MANCHESTER. A great meeting of the Manchester Reciprocity Asso ciation was held in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on Monday evening, for the purpose of urging the Govern ment to grant an inquiry into the present stagnation of trade, and with a view to obtain justice for British industry. The chair was taken by Mr. R. Haworth. The first resolution was proposed by Mr. STAVELEY Hum, Q.C., M.P. for Coventry, as follows :—" That this meeting desires to express its sincere sympathy with those of the, working classes, who are unable, from want of employ ment, to obtain the necessaries of life, and while deeply sensible of the advantages of free trade adopted universally among nations, looks with alarm on the exclusion by hostile tariffs of British manufac tures from foreign countries, and considers that our pre sent commercial policy demands an investigation by com mittee of the whole House of Commons. And, further, that a copy of this resolution, signed by the chairman, be forwarded to the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone." Mr. Hill declared that as the imports of the country were higher than the exports, the balance of trade was against us. This year the balance was over 100 millions against this country. Could they therefore expect a prosperous state of affairs under such circumstances ? He contended that the trade of England was in a state of stagnation, and brought forward statistics to prove that pauperism was increasing. Mr. WHEELHOUSE, M.P. for Leeds, in seconding the resolution, intimated that the whole of our commercial tariffs wanted revising from beginning to end. Mr. NEWDEGATB, M.P. for North Warwickshire, who was received with deafening applause, supported the motion in a long speech. Ho began by expressing his pride that during the whole term of his public life— extending over a period of twenty-six years—he had been consistently opposed to the system of free imports and un restricted competition. He had withstood the brunt of the strong enthusiasm which was exerted by the agitation in favour of what was called Free Trade ; and he was proud to say that the men of North Warwick shire had stood by him throughout the whole period when the opinion of this country was turned against the pro tective system, as if it were an offence. Turning to the question at issue, the hon. gentleman said :—Few have examined the subject more deeply than myself ; and my opinion is this, that we must begin by a modification of the system of free imports, and progress most care fully to the total abandonment of import duties as a source of revenue. It is a system at which the Americans scoff ; it is a system adopted by no other country in the world. I came hero for a specific purpose; it is to pray you all—to pray the intelligent commercial men of Manchester, who are staying away from this meet ing to-night, like Sir Thomas Bazley—not to allow the Government, by the use of the prerogative of her Majesty, to tie us up to another treaty before the commercial classes of this country, and before the representatives of the people have been consulted upon the terms of that treaty. Now, I have heard Mr. Glad stone in the House of Commons compare his treaty—the Treaty of 1360—with the treaty which Mr. Pitt carried, the Treaty between England and France of 1787. Take those two documents and place them side by side, and ask your selves which is most for the advantage of England, and which gives the preponderance to France ? Place them side by side, and examine them for yourselves, and you will know the audacity of the comparison which Mr. Gladstone drew when he compared the Treaty of 1860 with the Treaty of 1787, as it affects the interests of Great Britain. I say, gentlemen, I have come here but for one purpose. I have , not come to debate upon the doctrines of free trade or of protection. God knows they wore once familiar to me enough. I have come to ask you to support us in the claim that the result of the negotiations which are going on for the renewal of this treaty shall be submitted to the universal public and to Parliament before the Government commit the Crown to an engagement which the people do not understand. One word more : lam quite with you in the principle of reciprocity. Well, now, I am very unwilling to see this country bound again to France under such terms as she rashly undertook—for they were rashly undertaken under such a bad bar gain is it is known to be. Because, look at this. It places the industry of England in this position : Everybody wants to buy in the cheapest market. In these days of distress you know the position of the working man and his family. When labour has been short, he is apt to run long scores up at the shop. Then he goes to the shop and says, " I want such and such supplies." Perhaps a higher price is asked than was asked before, than would be asked elsewhere ; but the man has no alternative. He has no money; he must pay the price, or there is heavier discount charged on the account, which comes to the same thing. That is not buying in the cheapest market. Well, look at the position of England, when she is bound to France to impose no import duty. She is like the man in debt, because there is no equivalent restriction to prevent a discount on her exports in the form of duties. Therefore, I say this binding England down to free imports whilst she secures duties upon her own imports into France, is placing her in the position of a debtor; it is treating the industry of England as if it were bankrupt before its time. Again I pray you to speak out—speak now, that you claim that her Majesty's Government shall not commit this country again to the engagements of 1860, or anything like them, with France, until the representatives of the people have had an oppor tunity of speaking upon those tariffs—the same opportunity that the Emperor of the French has promised to the French Chambers. Are we less free than they are in France ? Is our Parliament less representative? I say as a member of the Legislature, and as the representative of a com mercial constituency, that I pray you to aid us in claiming a fair investigation before any engagement such as that of 1860 is renewed by the Government. The motion was further supported by Colonel RICHLRD SON-GARDNER (who unsuccessfully contested Windsor at the general election) and carried with acclamation. The following resolution was subsequently agreed to : " That this meeting recommends all political organisations, clubs, and other societies, to give their serious consideration to the great importance of aiding the committee of this association in restoring our national prosperity, and sug gests to all such bodies the necessity of holding meetings, :ielivering lectures, distributing pamphlets, and petitioning Parliament; and further, that the committee at once establish a guarantee fund to meet contingent expenses in bringing this momentous question under the consideration of the House of Commons." The Dublin Freemen Commission inquiry is still in progress. On Monday a man named Noblett, who was em ployed at 76, Capel-street, where the bribery went on, said he did not know what took place behind a baize screen in the room. There was also, another witness stated, a bolo in the panel of the door, which was covered with paper. Forster was there (this is the name of a person who was not forthcoming at the trial of the petition). One voter told a witness (Watkins) that ho had "just got an envelope be hind the screen with .£5 in it." He suspected pretty strongly that something was going on behind the screen. One hundred and eighty-two" heads of families" of Leominster, including the Mayor and ex-Mayor, have sub scribed to the following resolution : —" We, the undersigned, believing the practice of bleeding calves to excess a cruel and unnecessary one, agree to discountenance tie practice by all possible ways and means in Leominster." Ugon this six of the principal butchers of the town agreed to another re solution, pledging themselves to abstain from bleeding eal VO3, " elievlng it to be a cruel and unnecessary practice." Mr. Joshua Fielden, M.P., was present at the in auguration of a Working Men's Constitutional Association at o:dhant, on Saturday. Ho said that though not a Churchman himself, he was of opinion that the union of Church and State was most important and valuable, and that his " Dissenting-fellow Christians" had been guilty of a great piece of folly in voting for a separation. The Irish Church Bill had not pacified the Irish people, and there was now a greater determination on the part of the classes it was intended to conciliate to sot at defiance the power and the laws of England.
