BRloli7, M.P., AT WAKEFIELD. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 20. The annual soiree of the Wakefield Mechanics' Institution was held in the Corn Exchange build ings this evening. There was a crowded assembly, which included members of many of the principal families of Wakefield and the neighbourhood. Mr. E. A. Leatham, M.P. for Huddersfield, who is pre sident of the institute, occupied the chair, and among the gentlemen present were Mr. J. Bright, M.P., Mr. R. M. Milnes, M.P., Mr. T. Collins, M.P., the Mayor of Wakefield, Mr. T. Haigh, &c. On making their appearance on the platform, the Chairman and Mr. Bright, and the gentlemen by whom they were accompanied, were received with enthusiastic and reiterated cheers: After the ap plause bad subsided, The CHAIRMAN addresspd the meeting at some length, urging various reasons why there should be no evils arising from general education of the people: The Secretary read letters of apology from gen tlemen who were unable to attend the soiree. Mr, BRIGHT then rose to address the meeting, and was received with loud applause. He com menced his speech by asking their indulgence, be cause he felt himself in a difficult position. It was many years ago—he forgot how many—since he appeared on the platform, of a meeting in connec tion with a mechanics' institution. Several years ago he accepted an invitation to preside at one of the meetings of the Wakefield Mechanics' Institu tion, but he was prevented in consequence of a Lore throat. He therefore appeared there that night to wipe off the old score. He supposed the same rule existed at Wakefield as existed at most other .me chanics' institutions—namely, that the speakers on such occasions as the present should avoid discuss ing party politics and natural theology. He was about the last person who would intrude anything in the shape of natural theology, and although he had been 20 years engaged in party politics, yet few persons in that time had had less sympathy than he had with what was generally termed party politics. There was a description of meetings held in this country in the autumn and winter known by the name of agricultural meetings, and those meetings had the same rule, but he found that nearly every speaker, after just glancing at turnips or some other agricultural matter, 3hot off at once into a political disquisition, and if he were a Con servative he generally praised Lord Palmerston and attacked Mr. Gladstone or so humble an individual as Mr. Bright. (Laughter.) The country gentle men in the north were rather an odd class of men. If there could be a photograph taken of one of those gentlemen, showing not only his outward and physical body, but his mental linaments, there could be no doubt it would represent a man with a robust constitution and very confused notions. (Renewed laughter.) He (Mr. Bright) would not follow the example of those gentlemen. He would not go into party polities in the least, but he took it for granted that, as the rule) of the institution excluded politics which concerned a party, it did not exclude politics that had no reference to party. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him there was nothing more neglected in the education of all classes in this country than the consideration of the principles on which the laws should be founded, and on which the permanent peace and greatness of the common wealth were based. He believed that the liberty, wealth, happiness, and progress of. every people met with a thousand obstacles from laws which were based sometimes on selfishness, but, he be lieved, still more frequently on the true interests of a nation. If these were principles that referred merely to our day or to this year, he should scarcely think it worth while to refer to them, but they appeared to him to refer to all countries, to all time, and to all people, whatever circumstances they may be living under. And it seemed, to him that they were infinitely more important than the ephemeral struggles and triumphs which attend the ambition of statesmen with wnom our thoughts were sometimes so greatly occupied. (Hear, hear.) One of our poets has said,—and he must apologise to him, though he was not here, and perhaps, was not living, if he did not quote him correctly ; but he was reported to have exclaimed— " How few of all the ills which men endure Are those which Kings or laws can make or cure I" Now, if he were disposed to be iiharp with him or short, and not disposed to argue the question with him, he should answer him with a couplet from another of our poets, who has said, speaking of his own order : " Poets, of all men, least regret Inczeasing taxes and the nation's debt." —(Loud laughter.) He was prepared to contra dict this saying of the poet first quoted. He said that liberty, and wealth, and happiness, in the pro gress of every people, met with a thousand obsta cles from laws which were based sometimes upon selfishness, but he believed much more frequently up6n ignorance of the true interests of a nation. (Hear, hear.) The science of political economy, al though it was a science which had been practised by very learned and able men for nearly 100 years, was a science which was yet absolutely in its in fancy, and it was an entire mistake to suppose that it was only members of mechanics' institutions who were not well informed upon that science. (Hear.) Mr. Bright proceeded to refer to the establishment of the corn laws in 1815, remarking that, with such a season as there had been during the last six months, if these corn laws—which were supported by statesmen, by bishops, by learned men, and by Oxford and Cambridge scholars—had been in exist ence, his hearers might rely upon it that the manu factures of this country would have been in a state of confusion. The capitalists of the country would be bankrupts, workmen would be unemployed, and statesmen would be at their wits' end to find a re medy for the mischief. (Hear.) Mr. Bright next alluded to the French treaty, expressing his belief that those who lived as many years hence as had elapsed since the repeal of the corn laws, would have the same opinion of the advantage of the step which had just been taken with regard to France which was now held as to the step taken in 1846 with regard to the corn laws. But there was an other matter in which the working classes were more interested ; at least, they had it more under their own control than the question of the tariff — viz., the question of combination to raise wages. Now, if there was one class of persons in this coun try whose wages had risen more than another with in the last 20 years, it was the class of female do mestic servants ; but who ever heard of a combina tion among cooks or housemaids to get higher wages ? (Hear.) Now, how was this ? The lady who employed such persons regarded her expendi ture with a far keener eye than her husband, who employed large numbers of persons in his manufac tory, usually did, and they might depend upon it that if the value of the labour of domestic servants were not worth what it fetched the mistresses would not be disposed to give the advance, which they had not given to their servants for many years past. (Hear.) The error With regard to com binations of workmen arose from the notion that masters could control wages ; but surely if a mas ter could control wages, he could control prices. (Hear,) Neither the one nor the other was under the control of the manufacturer or the capitalist. What was going on in the northern counties of England was a proof beyond all cavil that when trade was greatly extended, profits increasing, and demand for labour growing from month to month, wages would rise, and that without any kind of combination. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman referred to a letter he had received from Glasgow, the writer of which suggested that Parliament should fix a minimum rate of wages, and that it should be an indictable offence for any manufacturer or em ployer of labourers to reduce the rate below that amount. He (Mr. Bright), in reply to that letter, said that unless manufacturers could secure their profits at one end it seemed very unreasonable that they should give a certain rate of wages which they might not be- able to afford to give. The reason he had introduced this was, not to show the im portance of general education, for that he con ceived to be settled, but to show the importance of education being directed to political questions. Let him take another matter. There was the question of the expenditure of a Government. Some foolish persons had said it did not matter what taxes people paid to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, be cause it all came back in refreshing showers ; donbtless that might be, but the showers only re ft est' ed the taxeaters—they never refresh the tax payers. (Laughter.) The same arguments m;ght be used by the highwayman when he committed a robbery; or, if they had a conqueror living among them and they paid a tribute to him, it might be said it made no difference, because the money was spent in the country. He hoped the people were beginning to find that taxes were taxes, and he hoped they would never imagine that not a single farthing of the taxes beyond what was ever benefit required fort them any m heeco nomiealosreerrhn if they lost it theS tae t would it in the sea or somebody picked their pockets of it. (Applause.) At the present moment there was in this country a condition of general prosperity which had never been exceeded since the com mencements of the great war with France. He held that prosperity to be based mainly on the long con tinuance of peace, to a very large extent upon the revolution of the tariffs in the country which he had already spoken of, and also to the enormous saving to all the operations of the country by the introduetion of the mode of transit by railway. Well, the results were great, but, notwithstanding all this, and that every public speaker and writer broke into exclamations of satisfaction at the pros perity which now prevailed —as if it were a pros perity which had never been equalled before, and that they could not hope long to enjoy, they ought to bear in mind that at this moment there were hundreds of thousands of families in this country whose condition was that of poverty close verging upon pauperism, and to whom the rays of that prosperity seem scarcely to have reached at all. It was worth while considering whether all had yet been done to raise the people to the condition to which they rightfully hope to attain. He did not believe in it being the end of the government, the end of civilization, the end of education, of morality, and Christianity that the great body of the people in this country should be in the condition they were in now. Even in this time of great prosperity, to say nothing of the fearful condition they had been in in times past, they who were better off, who from their fathers' industry or their own, or from happy circumstances in which they had been placed, were better oft; were bound to look at the lowest strata of society, and see how and why it was that hundreds and thousands of families seemed to make almost no progress upwards, and who, if the gene ral prosperity of the country were in the least clouded, were plunged into a state of suffering shocking to behold, which was really not creditable to the government or to the civilization of the country. Mr. Bright continued by referring to a letter he had received about two years ago from Mr. Cobden, who was at that time in the United States of America, and in which the writer said that, notwithstanding the artisan and labouring class in England had made greater progress during the last 25 years than they had during any former similar period of time, those classes in the United States were much further in advance than they were in England. This was a remarkable fact, and Mr. Bright had never heard any man who disputed it. He met not long ago a gentleman connected with what was generally re ported the most reputable of the press in this coun try, who had been spending some days in the United Sates, and he gave the same accounts. He wanted to know what made the difference. It was not necessarily the form of government. It was not a question of latitude or longitude and people had to work in the United States ; the machinery there did more labour, and the land was not even as fer- tile. How came it, then, he asked their public writers, he asked their statesmen, he asked minis- ters of religion—how came it, then—this fact was notorious and indisputable—that in the United States the great body of the artisans and labouring classes were so much better off than they were in this country ? He hew of three causes that would account for it. In the United States the land was wholly free from all feudal law and tenures ; tIH people were instructed by an extensive and thoroughly working common school, useful to a degree infinitely beyond what the people of this country ever dreamt of ; and, further, that from some cause or other that he could not then inquire into, the Government of the United States, although the population of each country was about 20,000,000, spent nearly £60,000,000 sterling less than the Go vernment of this country. He only stated facts, and he said they were not in the least questions of party, not questions of forms of government, but questions of principles with regard to our legislation, and Mechanics Institutions would but ill fulfil their duty to their members if they were con tent with teaching the common rules of arithmetic or drawing or music, or other branches or know ledge which we taught them, and did not bring their classes and their members as much as possible to consider those great questions on which the wellbeing of their families and the country most depended. (Applause.) After some further re marks, in the course of which he passed a warm eulogium on the benevolence and piety of the pre sent age, but said that he considered the meeting was 'Aware that that single Act of Parliament which limited the supply of food was worth more than 10,000 soup kitchens, Mr. Bright said that there could be no doubt that every simple inven tion which was made in machinery and agriculture added to our power of production, and ought to add to our comfort. In his opinion, it ought to lessen human labour and to increase human enjoyment"; but if through bad principles of legislation—if through errors of government the public resources were wasted—of our great industry a vast quantity was misdirected—if these great blunders were made, there might be rich men and rich families; but the multitude would still be poor, and the com forts they had would still be precarious. He wanted them to study these subjects more than they had done before ; it would enable them to see that they might govern themselves more wisely, and, if they did so, he believed that they might raise mankind to a higher level, they might give greater glory to their country, they might dispense greater happiness among the families of which it was composed, and they might do that which was not a little thing—they might do something to justify the ways of God to man. Mr. Bright sat down amid renewed and hearty plaudits. Mr. Milnes, M.P., Mr. Collins, M.P., and other gentlemen subsequently addressed the assembly. The proceedings terminated with the National Anthem.

The visit of the Empress Eugenie to the Scotch metropolis has been received by its inhabitants with much gratification and pride. Coming as she does ostensibly in incognito, she.has, nevertheless, wher ever recognised, obtained a welcome of the most genuine description. Old countries have long memories, and Scotland does not forget that before the union with England, to which she owes so much, her great ally and friend was France; and to the illustrious lady herself a still closer tie is owned, for she is of the:family of the Kirkpatricks, whose history may be traced from the time of Robert Bruce. Scotland has before now been the place of exile of Fxench monarchs, for Charles X. resided long in Holyrood ; but hitherto it has not been honoured with a visit from any of the reigning houses of France. On Monday her Imperial Majesty, accompanied by the Marquis de la Grange, the Countess de Montebello, Madame de Sauley, and Colonel Fave, visited Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, Leith Fort, and Edinburgh Castle, and at various points along their route met with an instant recognition and a courteous reception. The distinguished party left Douglas's Hotel at a quarter past 11 in a carriage and pair, and drove along Waterloo-place, Regent road, and Abbey-hill to Holyrood ; thence along the Queen's Drive to the eastward, passing the scene of the great Volunteer Review, and round the hill till they arrived at Dunsapie Loch, where they alighted. The party then began to ascend the hill, and had climbed about halfway up when on account of the slippery nature of the ground, conse quent on the strong frost which prevailed ou Sun day night and the thaw which followed yesterday they were compelled to retrace their steps and to forego the intention of reaching the summit. After remaining the greater part of an hour on the hill the partyagain entered the carriage and drove on to Holy rood Palace. Here her Majesty and suite alighted, and were first conducted through the Queen's apart ments by Mr. Gough, the resident keeper. They were then shown the picture gallery, so called from its long series of fictitious portraits of Scottish Kings from the Christian era, painted some two centuries ago like a " band of brothers," and were likewise conducted to the apartments of Mary Stuart, once the Queen Consort of France, and who left that country in 1560 to assume her father's sceptre, to rule the rude barons and turbulent people of Scot land, and, at the same time, meekly to listen to the stern counsels of John Knox. To everything con nected with Mary's romantic and sad story, her Im perial Majesty listened with evident attention, and examined with interest the relics of the period pre served in the apartments. The visitors were also conducted to the ruined chapel, but on account of the coldness of the air they remained there but a short time. It was next intended to visit the Castle, but owing to some mistake of the orders to the coach man the party were driven along by Abbey-hill, Easter-road, and Junction-road to Leith Fort, and the error was only found out when the strangers arrived at the fort, and when her Majesty asked to see the Scottish Crown. On being informed that this relic of merged historic royalty was in Edin burgh Castle they did not alight, but immediately returned to the city by way of Bonnington, and reached the Castle about 3 o'clock. Here her Impe rial Majesty was received by Licut.-Colonel Ewart, of the 78th Highlanders, who accompanied the dis tinguished party throughout the Castle, and drew attention to the various points of interest for which it is famed, including the Regalia, the apartmentS of Queen Mary, St. Margaret's Chapel, and Mons Meg, &c., with the sight and description of which her Imperial Majesty seemed very much interested. The guard was mounted in honour of her Majesty, and she seemed to take great interest in the gallant 78th, being the first Highland regiment she had ever seen. Her Majesty also examined several of the barrack-rooms, and inspected their various ar rangements with evident interest. After having been shown everything about the Castle, her Majesty rested for a short time in the colonel's quarters, and was then accompanied by the gallant officer to the carriage. Owing to the thick and hazy state of the atmosphere her Majesty ob tained but a very limited view of the surrounding country from the battlements of the Castle, and saw under most unfavourable circumstances the beautiful panorama from the Mons Meg battery, After leaving the Castle, the party drove down the Mound and up Hanover-street, to the shop of Messrs. J. F. and W. Marshall, jewellers, George street, where her Majesty made several purchases, selecting a variety of Celtic jewellery ornaments. She remained here for fully half an hour, and be fore she left a large and eager crowd had assembled before the door. On leaving the shop she was re ceived with loud cheering and waving of hats—a display of feeling which her Majesty acknowledged by frequently bowing to the crowd. She then drove off rapidly and arrived at Douglas's Hotel at half-past four o'clock. Here again a large crowd had assembled, many having waited for an hour or two, almost blocking up the steps leading to the hotel, in their anxiety to secure a glimpse of the Empress on her return. As her Majesty alighted from the carriage another ebullition of enthusiasm took place, which her Imperial Majesty appeared to take in good part, and as a demonstra tion of welcome, as it undoubtedly was. The Lord Provost called at Douglas's Hotel immediately after the return of the Empress in the afternoon, in order to pay his respects. So far as known, the visit of the Empress to Edinburgh will be prolonged for several days. It is rumoured that her Imperial Majesty will pay a visit to the Trosachs and Loch Katrine, the beautiful scenery of which was visited last year by Queen Victoria. THE KING OF SARDINIA. The following sketch of the King of Sardinia, from the pen of Alexandre Dumas, appears in the Indipendente of Naples : " Victor Emmanuel, who looks like a man of of abo sportsman at vigorous, 40 years of age, is frank, sincere, tem perate, an early riser, and a keenorous with gun and dog. He bears the fatigues of active a long day's shooting better than many of the most moun taineers, and he generally starts on suc h excursions before sunrise. He makes a verylighti breakfast, co ld meat or merely a piece of bread and a slice cheese which he eats like a peasant w ithout sitting at table ; but he always makes a hearty dinner, day court or laying aside all etiquette, withoutof _ gen eral receptions cham berlains. On Sunday , the are t h ro wn open at eleven o'clock, and anybody w at the Palace, the doors arc f e els disposed may enter till three. If any person desires a private audience, he must apply lb e by l e tter, and on the morrow or following days h e surely obtain it, for Victor Emmanue l opens all his letters himself. One t shooting, he met a peasant, day, when out Kin bring down two t . (1 who, on seeing the g partridges, ri ges, with his double-barrelled gun, went right and left, u p to him an d said :—' You shoo t i well, you do.' .., 'lt was not a miss, was t f responded the King. —' Perhaps you could rid me of a fox which steals m y hens ?" Most willingly.' If you do, I will give you two mutte ' (70e ) ' Agreed,' said the King . ' I will come to-morrow morning with my dog, and shoot your fox.' ' Give me your liturd on it,' said the man. The King immediately shook hands with him, and, true to his word, went the next morning, found the fox, and shot it. ' Thank God for that !' exclaimed the peasant ; ' You have fairly earned your two mutte, and there they are. the King took them, and said, ' This is the first money I ever earned.' Then, tossing up the pieces in his hand, he added, " It is a pleasure to receive money one has fairly gained.' The next day, in exchange for the two mutte, his Majesty sent a dress, necklace, and earrings for the peasant's wife. It is impossible to be more easy of access than Victor Emmanuel. He goes out alone on foot, and enters the theatre at the public doer. One day, the portress of the Angennes theatre caug ht . a gentleman in the act of puffing the smoke of his corner cigar at her cat, which he had found ineascue her and kept there. Rushing forward to . r , i _ e arm, favourite, she seized the tormentor b. the Zne and on is turning round recognised La " Letterkenny, Nov. 18. "The deceased James Murray, a Scotchman, was formerly steward and caretaker to Mr. Adair, and from what I am informed it would appear that he has lately become his tenant — certainly some of the sheep on the mountain bear the brand `J.

He left his house on Tuesday morning, putting a loaded revolver in his pocket, and told his wife that she might expect him home at 3 o'clock in the after noon, or thereabouts ; he was accompanied by two dogs. At 6 o'clock one dog returned, and an hour afterwards the other. When the second came .home without his ma s t er one of the shepherds prognosti catedimmediately that Murray was not alive. At that late hour a ;search was immediately com menced ; it was contin u ed early on the following morning and throughout the day (Wednesday). It was endeavoured to entice the dogs (one of them had a blood mark on his n e c k) t o return to the body, but they could not be got to do so ; they shrank back—in fact, blinked. To the north east of Glenveagh, where Murray residetJ, runs another valley, separated from Gl enveag h by a high mountain ; the hills forming the side of i;.his valley incline to each other at an angle of about 40 degrees, and at the bottom runs a small streams About half way down one of the sides of the valley (that which faces the north-east) the body was discovered. About 150 yards higher up on the mountain face a stick was found, stuck in the ground ; this stick belonged to the d ec eased. Imme. diately below where the stick lay is roekabou t t bi t feet high, and the space inter venin g between b rock and the position of the co r p se is occupied y shelving masses of granite and sto nes not forming a continuous surface, but separate h ere and there Ct intervals ; it is from the rock up near the stick that some suppose poor Murray may haveaccidental ly fallen. The inquest commenced yest erda y att hree o'clock. There were present the coroner, Dr. Long, Mr. Dillon, R.M. ; Mr. Stewart, Justice an t he Peace, of Church-hill; Sub-Inspector Corr, d a large constabulary party, and the jury, 16 in num ber. Only two witnesses were examined--one of the shepherds and Dr. Thorpe, of Letterkenny. The shepherd proved the finding of the body and the circumstances referred to, and, in addition , the following important facts :—lmmediately beneath the uppermost rock were footprints ; these the shepherd swore were produced by deceased's shoes; he knew them by the size, the heel-taps, and th e nails; these footprints he traced in the soft ground towards the right a short di s t anc e, when two other sets of impressions made their appearance; first, large marks of bare feet ; second, other shoe-marks, not Murray's. The three other varieties of im pressions were seen close together—Murray's in the centre—for afew yards, until they all disappeared in the adjoining moss and long grass, to be again recognised lower down, where ,the body was dis covered on soft ground. Murray's cap lay 15 yards from the body. There were no bloody marks on it. Hard by the corpse was a piece of granite, about six pounds weight, stained with blood, and having hairs attached to it ; the pistol with one barrel discharged, and broken into three piecee— two close to the body, and the other some three or four yards away; the left breast pocket of the• coat, where deceased carried his pistol, was par tially inverted. These were the facts proved by the shepherd. Dr. Thorpe gave evidence that, with the exception of an abrasion below one of the knees, a slight contusion on one of the hips, and a ruffling of the cuticle on one of the fore-arms, the trunk and extremities exhibited no marks of vio lence whatever—no fracture, no dislocations, no wound. The head presented a sad spectacle; seven scalp wounds penetrated to the bone, in ad dition to several others of less severity below the right eye ; three teeth of the lower jaw were stove in, the lips split open, the skull fractured in tw places, with extensive effusion of blood on the brain. The decided opinion of the doctor was that :the man's death could not have resulted from accident. ",The inquest was adjourned till Thursday next. Two persons are under arrest on suspicion." TIIE TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY ACCIDENT. At half-past 11 yesterday morning the Hercules steamer, belonging to the London and North- Western Railway Company, arrived at the North wall, in this city, having on board the mangled re mains of the unfortunate men who were killed is the collision on the Trent Valley Railway, at Nun eaton, on Friday. The names of those whose bodies have arrived are:—Edward AP Donnell, Castledermot ; " John APDonnell, Urlingford ; Andrew ;Darby, Tinnakill ; John 'Fallon, Blessing ton ; James Hickey, Dunlavin ; Vaughan, 13arrack-street, Dublin. On the arrival of the vessel there were seven hearses and a number of mourning coaches in attendance, to convey the bodies to their respective localities for interment. Three were taken to the terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway, two were at once removed for interment to Glasnevin, and one body, that of Vaughan, was conveyed to his late home in Barrack-street. All the steamers and vessels along the quays testified their sympathy for the deceased by lowering their flags while the melancholy cor tege passed. The bodies were brought from the scene of the calamity to Holyhead by a special train furnished by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway Company, and were then put on board a steamer provided specially for the purpose by the same company. It is right to add that the officers of the company were most assidu ous in their attention, and in carrying out as well as they could all the arrangements consequent on this most deplorable event. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London held a meeting yesterdry at their offices in the Guildhall, pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Deputy CnnisTlE took the chair. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, re ported that the registration returns for the fort night were highly satisfactory, for there were but 91 deaths against 148 births. The average number of deaths for the corresponding period of the last five years is 124, so that the mortality has been about 27 per cent. below the average proportion. Nearly half of the deaths (43) were among children of less than five years of age, and only 18 among old persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis 8, pneumonia 11, nine of which were of infants, bronchitis 10, in and one from all 29 deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs. From the zymotic class of maladies there absence were 16 deaths, namely 0 from measles, 5 f rom scarlet fever, 2 from whooping-cough, each of the following—diarrhcea, erysipelas, and laryngitis. The returns therefore show an of epidemic diseases, and a favourable condition of the public health. Of the 148 births during the Jortnight 81 were boys and 67 were Metropolitan Board ther registered representative of that girls. r e d pr of Works, begged p a u t t t y h HA RRISO N, court pe to be allowed to inform the parishes had sent in claims fo r in that a number of been put to in reference to expenses they had Gas Act, and he suggested the new Metropolitan any such claim to that if this court had them to send it i n at make, it would be as well for once. They should have to pay their share o f the expense of obtaining the act in question, whi c h £7,000, and they he believed was estimated at entitled to ought to be paid if they were anything. The CHAIRM AN said he believed there was some doubt whether the City would be liable to pay any share of the expenses referred to. They had taken legal advice, and he believed there was consider able doubt upon the point. Deputy HARRISON said he did not wish to inter fere with any legal question, and he merely felt it his duty to inform the Court, as their represe ntative at the Board of Works, how the matter stood, and that as a great many other parishes and vestries H had sent in claims to the board , t his Court might do the same, if any such desire existed. e then said that he had also to inform the Court that he it was bill intended to reintroduce into Parliament t that was withdrawn for the local management of the metropolis at the last session, b u t the clauses having reference to the redistribution of loans would be omitted. Ho said he hoped the bill, as it would now be framed, would be allowed to pass without expensive litigation, and he at the same tine observed that the Parliamentary expenses incurred were really very serious, and some steps should be taken to reduce them. The matters were referred, upon ittee the motion of Dr. Ross, to the improvement comm. Dr. ABRATIAM moved that this Court should con fer with the Law Clerks Committee upon the sub "ect of amalgamating the legal business f th" J 0 le commission with that of the corporation generally, with a view to reduce the legal expenses, in con formity with the motion proposed and carried by the hon. member at the last Court of Common Council. _ _ _ — ihe motion was carried, and the Court shortly afterwards adjourned.
