THE House of Commons lost some of its notabi- lities at the general election, but it has certainly gained some excellent men of business. Never was so much work of primary importance got through in so short a space of time as has happened this session. Expedition has not been obtained at the cost of com pleteness. On the contrary, the great measures which have been under deliberation have been most tho roughly discussed. The Irish Church Bill was exhausted in the parliamentary debates and in committee. The Bankruptcy Bill, which has passed through the Lower House, is the net result of several years' deliberation. The Endowed Schools Bill has been most favourably received by the Upper House. And now the University Tests Bill is likely to reach that body in the course of a week or two. That it will become law this session is, perhaps, too much to affirm. And yet we see Inc good reason why it should not. When the House of Commons has approved a measure by a majority of considerably more than two to one, it becomes a serious matter for the house of Lords to reject it. The moderation shewn by the majority of the Peers with respect to the Irish Church Bill leads us to hope that they will not reject Sir JOHN COLERIDGE'S. They have done so in time past, and with the usual result. The demands of those who desire reform have increased. The present bill is more thorough than its predecessors. If this should be rejected, and the agitation be continued for a few more years, the next bill will propose still greater changes. Mr. NEWDEGATE, indeed, would not be influenced by that considera tion. He would rather resist to the uttermost and be overwhelmed, than move an inch from his position in order to prevent a catastrophe. Frangor non fleetor is his motto ; let there be revolutions, but there shall be no reforms. This reminds us of the Frenchman's opinion of the charge of Balaklava, it is magnificent but it is not statesmanship. There is no reason to suppose that the Peers led now, as they are really, though not nominally, by Lnrd SALISBURY, will adopt the heroic destructive c, Quarters ended Sept. 30, Dec. 31, March 3!, June 30, 1867 1867 1868 1868 -- - £ £ X X Customs 5,502,000 0,102,000 5,547,000 5,4.3,0"0 Exei,e 4,40 ~ 000 5,0 )2,000 5,742,000 4,857,000 Stamps Taxes Proptrty 'no( ... • C 4 ,000 88 ,000 3,067,000 2,269,000 lost-olh e Crown Lands hilseelAaneo us •• - Totals Acting Manager—Amonv SULLIVAN, ,11,91?,740 OYAL STRAND THEATRE.

If they have swallowed the camel of the Irish Church Bill, they ought not to strain greatly at the gnat of the University Tests Bill. The last-named measure is, however, by no means unimportant. To admit Dissenters to the governing bodies of our colleges is not a small change. At the same time it is the inevitable result of previous changes. To tell Dissenters that they may study at the university and carry off its highest honours, but must not receive its highest rewards, is a position that no one can seriously hope to maintain in the present state of public feeling. It becomes the more untenable when we find that Dissenters can even now assume the position of tutors. As a matter of fact, several of the most influential tutors, especially at Cam bridge, are Dissenters. This being the case, it is impossible to uphold the present exclusion on high grounds, such as that of the necessity of pre serving the connection between the teaching body and religion. A man of no religion may teach ; not a few of s uc h d o t eac h . The man of a particular sort of religion may teach, and does teach, but must not share the revenues of the colleges. Clearly this is a question of privilege, not of principle; of exclu siveness, not of orthodoxy. As such it cannot possibly be maintained. 7 '.10?,297. 11.—Increase and Decrease in the periods ended Juae 30, 186), as compared with corresponding periods of the preceding year : Cu ;toms hxeise Stamps Taxes Propvrty Tax Post-Othee .

Good eharae er. Address, J. 8., 25i, Foley-strvt, Tichfleld-streot, W. THE House of Lords has reciprocated the plain spokenness of the country by equally plain speaking. The country said that the Irish Church should be disestablished and disendowed ; the Lords, that is to say the Whig and Conservative Lords, have said that the surplus funds shall be used towards a partial concurrent endowment. Intrinsi cally, there is nothing more repugnant to Protestantism in providing a house and a potato garden for a Roman Catholic priest than in providing a college and professors for Roman Catholic students. In fact, the second approaches more nearly than the first to the endowment of Popery." To teach young men Roman Catholic theology is certainly, from the High Protestant point of view, a more heinous offence than to provide a Roman Catholic priest with a resi dence and his vegetables. In the one case the nation absolutely pays for teaching what it regards as error ; in the other it simply pays the teacher. Even Orange men would admit that a priest must live, and therefore they ought not to object to supplying him with -.o—mttuu us to - TaiMialiing the works of BELLAILMINE and LIGUORI. In a word, the Duke of CLEVELAND'S proposal to appropriate a portion of the Church funds to the purchase of glebes for Roman Catholic priests ought not to shock the people which has for some quarter of a century been paying the Maynooth Grant. CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. But while we are not surprised that the Duke of CLEVELAND'S amendment should meet with so much favour among Whig and Conservative Peers, while each day renders it more probable that it will be carried by the Upper House, we do not see how Mr. GLADSTONE can accept it if the nation should at all decisively declare against it. It is quite true that during the elections he and other Min isters mentioned their desire to preserve for the Irish Church the use of the glebes and the pa'rsonages. But it is also true that they promised that no por tion of the Church revenues should go towards the maintenance of the Roman Catholic faith (excepting so far as vested interests required to be compen sated) ; and when they found that the desire was incompatible with the promise, they rightly abandoned the first and kept the second. The House of Commons supported them in this decision. Some members of the Liberal party appealed to the Government to yield on this point and leave the clergy in possession of their glebes and parsonages. But when it was pointed out that this could not be done without either breaking a specific pledge or abandoning the main principle °Me 141-- ANNUAL INCOME, steadily increasing, £220,000] ASSURANCE FUND, safely invested, £1,598,000 SPECIAL NOTICE.

A ship load of nitro-glycerine having arrived from Liverpool at Carnarvon bar it was conveyed in boats to Carnarvon pier. This afternoon five cart loads were despatched —two for Assheton Smith's Llanberis quarries, and three for Lord Penrhyn's Bethesda quarries. At 6 p.m., whilst the former two were. near...4.lwyraglo, a terrible explosion took place. The horses and three men were blown to atoms. The cart wheels and portions of the carts were thrown nearly a mile. Au adjacent village, about a quarter of a mile distant, was greatly in jured. Windows were blown out and great household damage done. At the spot where the carts were two round holes, six feet deep and seven feet in diameter, were made. The railway station forty yards off was blown to pieces. The whole valley at the foot of Snowdon, and two large lakes, suffered a tremendous shock. The damage done all round the valley was very great. The shock was felt at Carnarvon and Bangor, and for miles around. -Portions of human remains were found forty yards off. Three quarrymen, 300 yards off, were severely injured. The three other carts, which were a mile apart, have ban left for the night on the roadside. The greatest consternation prevails. Thousands of persons have congregated from neighbouring towns and villages at the *ten° of the accident. A cartwheel was found fifty yards off, on rocks above the ecene of the accident.

AMENDMENTS TO THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, June 30. The first day of the session opened with a victory, or rather a piece of good luck, for the Government of very considerable importance. Your readers will remember that all questions submitted to the Ministers must be first approved of by the bureaux, or committees, of which there are nine. These bureaux are selected from the whole Chamber by lot; and it happened that on Monday, when the balloting took place, the Opposition did not secure a majority in any one of them. Thus the Government will be able to repel all attempts at questioning, if it be so minded, its supporters having the command of the majority in every bureau. This is undoubtedly an ill-omened commencement for the Opposition. All evil augury notwithstandirig s l am able to confirm what I said yesterday about the unity of the Liberals. They have all met, and have agreed that on certain questions on which they arc in accord the only hope of success lies in co-operation. A meeting was held on Monday in cue of the rooms at tech«? to the Chamber. All shades of the opposition were reprei:ented. The eubj, et of deliberation was the line of policy to be taker, in the coming contest on the verification of the elections. Some very lively talk took place on the question of Incompati bility. M. Picard, I am informed, took the large view of the subject, arguing that no restriction should be placed on the decrees of universal suffrage, and urging that even the Emperor's ellandierlains ought not to be excluded if fairly chosen by the people. But the majority by no means concurred in this view. It was almost unanimously agreed that a chamberlain, in virtue of his office, could not exercise his own judgment as a deputy, and that, therefore, he was not fit to sit in the Chamber. The same sentence of incompatibility was passed upon other Imperial functionaries who are depen dent on the Emperor for their places, and yet have seats in the Chamber. It was resolved, I am assured, that a stand should be made against all these, on the ground that they were not capable of fairly representing the wishes of the' people. A director of the Credit Fonder is one of the black sheep. M. JerOnse David resigned his position as Vice-Presi dent of the Corps Leg-islatif in consequence of the pub licity given to the letters which passed between M. Schneider and the Emperor. But his Majesty declined to accept the resignation of M. David any more than the resigna tion of M. Schneider, and so this affair ends. The semi-panic which seized the Bourse on the first report of the speech made by the Emperor at Chalons on the Solferino anniversary speedily disappeared when the real tenor of the address was known. It was agreed that the few sentences uttered were only such as would naturally suggest themselves on this occasion. It seems, however, that Marshal Bazaine—known to fame as the commander in Mexico—thought it incumbent upon him to make a speech at the camp last Sunday, which he did. The burden of his dies course was that the French army was ready to march and commence a campaign at any moment without the slightest additional preparation. Every corps is com plete; every detail arranged. The march can be sounded at any time. Further, this state of affairs is to be the normal condition of the French army ; but it does not indicate any intention or desire for hostilities. Si vi 3 pacent was the burden of Marshal Bazaine's speech; only the Parisians on reading it are disposed to observe that the principle may be carried too far. Rather an odd fact is reported in connection with the Emperor's speech at Chalons. It appears that each soldier received the text of the discourse, in memory of Solferino, printed on a card about the size of an ordinary playing card. Is this to be interpreted as a bellicose symptom? Much more serious than these .speeches, speculations, and rumours, is the undoubted fact-that the health of the Emperor is far from satisfactory. His Majesty has been but indifferently well throughout this tour in the country, but on Sunday last he is reported to have shewn deplorable signs of weakness. He fainted away, we are told, and had to be almost carried off to his carriage. We do not as yet get many details of election expenses, but those that do arrive are very interesting. I find, for instance, that an Opposition candidate who was successful spent only £6O over the entire contest. He will receive a salary of £4OO for the session. There are plenty of men who would not be members of the British House of Com mons ; but who, on these terms, would not be a member of the French Corps Legislatif ? Other candidates, hav ever, were not let off so easily. For instance, it is said that one aspirant in a southern department spent £6,000, and failed after all. But this—even if the sum be quite correct, which I doubt—is a very extreme case. All over France the expenses of the contests have been infinitely smaller than in England. One candidate, however, a Liberal, was so much in dread of the ballot boxes being tampered with that he spent £560 in pro viding watchers. But, on the whole, it is c!ear that the Corps Ldgislatif is not a rich man's club, and it is equally clear that the Ballot may claim much of the credit of this result. Our deputies do not enjoy the power and privileges of your M.P.'s, but still there are many aslvane tages attendant upon a seat in the Corps 1 - 36gislatif which rich men would gladly pay for if money would buy them. It seems quite useless to make any regulations, lax or strict, against duelling in this part of the world. People in Paris will fight. In the first place, many have nothing else to do, and to these a combat offers a little agreeable excitement ; and, in the next place, this is the traditional headquarters of duelling. We have had several encounters here of late. One has just been fought at Fontainebleau, between two officers of the Garde of very different rank. They were so determined to bring the affair off successfully, that they took civilian seconds in order that the transaction might not come within military jurisdiction. Their expectations were realised in one sense. Both were desperately wounded. The new Spanish Government has attempted one great reform since its accession, and so far its efforts have proved successful. It has cleared the Spanish capital of beggars. Of all the cities of Europe Madrid was the most grievously afflicted with this plague. The hideous spectacle of mendicity of all ages and of all degrees, and of deformity, met the eye at every step. A grand depot of mendicity has been formed, and was inaugurated by Regent Serrano on the 25th. Not a beggar is now to be seen. A few more amendments to the bill for the disestablish ment of the Irish Church have been placed on the notice paper, but the major part of them only deal with matters of detail, and do not aim at any of the vital principles of the bill. The only one of any importance will he moved by Lord CAIRNS, who will endeavour to strike out from the preamble the proviso that the surplus shall not be used for the teaching of religion. In addi tion to this, he proposes to omit the sub-section of the preamble to the effect that the proceeds of the property "shall be appropriated mainly to the relief of unavoidable calamity and suffering." Instead thereof he intends to move that the surplus shall he ap plied in such manner as Parliament shall hereafter direct. Lord O'NElLL—After Clause 27, to move to insert the following :—" That ecclesiastical residences, with land attached amounting to ten acres at the least, be provided for the beneficed clergymen in parishes where no such residences now exist." THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AND SIR R. .ANSTRUIIIER, M.P. Some Leeds cock-fighters have been sentenced to ;wo mouths' imprisonment. Mr. Uraufurd has given timely notice that next session ho will call attention to the operation of the Parlia mentary Elections Act, 18G8. The Guardian states that the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, vicar of Doncaster, has been appointed Master of the Temple. The Gu'trdian announces the death of the Rev. Edward Griswell, Senior Fellow and Vice-President of Corpus Cliristi College, Oxford. A penalty of £2O was inflicted by the Lord Mayor on Wednesday on Mr. M'Cullurn, gunpowder manu facturer, who pleaded guilty before the Lord Mayor of sending gunpowder by rail without proper description. The London correspondent of the 3lttchester Guardian is responsible for the statement which follows: -It was cir cumqantially stated last night at several of tLe clubs that the Duke of Cambridge had taken so much am!ss some casual observations made upon Horse Guards mismanage ment by Sir Hobert Anstruther, in the sort of conver sational debate in the House of Commons ou Friday night regarding the review at Windsor, that he authorised a com munication to be made to the hon. baronet, in the course of yesterday. To-day we hoar that another member of the royal familyhasintimated to the member for Fi'eshire that the duke is offended, and that the visit of one cf his staff to Sir Robert's residence was with a view to demand an explanation. The honourable and gallant baronet, who served with honour in the Crimean war, was from home, and no fur ther communication has since been made. In all pro bability there will be none ; for the words complained of, as they aro reported, appear to be no more than a general sarcasm at the inefficiency of the Horse Guards, and the ex pression of wonder, not that the escort was late which was sent to await the arrival of the Viceroy at the railway sta tion, but "that any escort Was ever in time," THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENI. On Wednesday a meeting of the Ladies' Committee for the promotion of the Saturday half-holiday by not shopping after two o'clock on Saturday was held in the metropolis, Earl Grosvenor, M.P., pre siding. Amongst those present were the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lady Elcho, the Earl and Countess of March, Lady and Miss Hogg, the Hon. Mrs. Maberly, Miss Marsh, &c. It appeared from the report that the Ladies' Committee have obtained pledges of co-operation from more than 2,500 ladies in London and its suburbs, representing . probably some 10,000 persons. Besides athletic sports, volunteer exer cises, rowing and cricket clubs, field excursion clubs for botanical and geological purposes have been formed as a consequence of the Saturday half-holiday. It appears that clubs have also been formed in many large houses of business for the microscopical study of nature. In one case ninety employs had formed themselves into a society for this purpose.—Earl Grosvenor briefly stated the object of the meeting, and invited the ladies who were favourable to it not to relax in their efforts, but to perse vere till they induced those shopkeepers who kept their shops open to a late hour to join in a movement which bad been so productive of good to the employed without doing any injury to the employers.—Mr. M`Gregor (Rob Roy) moved the following resolution :—" That the report be adopted, and that the meeting received with great satisfaction the testimonials of the employers with regard to the working of the Saturday half-holiday in the retail trades, and pledge themselves to obtain further co-operation in aid of the movement." Dr. Farr seconded the resolution, and bore testimony to the good effects of the movement in promoting the health of the employ6s. The resolution was further enforced by Dr. Cumming, and adopted. The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the expenses attending the Abys sinian Expedition have held a preliminary meeting, at which Mr. Candlish was chosen chairman. A number of volunteers arrived at Wimbledon from various parts of the country on 'Wednesday to 11141 w the arrangements necessary for the camping of the regi ments they represent. The camp is now nearly formed. It will be ready for occupation on Saturday, and the shooting will commence on Monday. Mr. Peek has given notice that to. day (Thurs day) Le will ark the Postmaster-General whether the i.ro posed mcnopoly of telegraphic messages will in any way intelfete with Wires alnady in operation, or wh'ch in the future may te desired, let wren the offices and works of manufacturing and other firms, which are frrquently sepa rated by a considerable distarce. On Tuuday Cc ss, in the courseof an addrcs. at a vis!!ati, a to a Lcn an Catholic church, cxlresscd Lis regret at the ,stringency of the laws with reference to the observance of the Sunday; and announced his couyicton that nothing was SO likely to promote the moral and social improvement of the people as a game at cricket or football after they had been to Mass. A meeting of the guardians of the metropolitan unions was held on Wednesday iu the Sessions House, West minster, to consider the question of emigration and a memorial to the President of the Poor-law Board The chair was taken by Lot d Alfred Churchill, and among those present were the Duke of Manchester, Lord Hough ton, Colonel Torrons, M.P., Mr. Holms, M.P., the Rev. J. P. Ditto, Dr. Stallard, Mr. W. IL Smith, M.P., Mr. Talbot, Dr. Smiles, Mr. Ogilvy, and representatives of the various metropolitan boards. A velocipede accident, which it is feared will be fatal— and if so it will be the first of the kind —is reported from Liverpool. On Tuesday a young man named Edwardes was riding down Bootle Mount on a bicycle at a rapid rate. He lost his control over the machine, and it ran with great force against a low stone wall, against which Mr. Edwardes was pitched Lead ft,remost. His skull was fractured, aml ft is feared that ho will not recover. An accident, happily unattended with any serious consequences, occurred on Tuesday to thp SODS of the Viceroy of Egypt, uu their return from the Crystal palace. It appears that the - carriage of the latter was proceeding along the near side of the road of Half-Moon-lane, Dulwich, followod by Viat of the Prince of Wales, whose carriage, in endeavour ing to pass, came in contact with that of the Viceroy's sop, and completely overturned it, Fortunately the occu pants of the carriage were extricated unhurt, save a good shaking, but the coachman sustained severe bruises. The Egyptian princes were taken into the carriago of the Prince of Wales. TIIE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. —There is time even now for the season to prove a good one as respects all staple products of the land, provided only that the sun will shine, •and, with the aid of softer winds than have blown over us for a long time past, bring the fruits of the earth to perfection. The wheat crop must be a thin one, comparatively speaking, even should the weather from this time be all that we could wish. Barley, oats, and beans may be good ; there is, at all events, time for them, with the aid of sunshine.— The Gardener's Magazine. BLACK LEAD ASA LUBRICATOR FORMACIIINERY. Black lead has only been used as a lubricator for wooden machinery, from the heaviest vehicle to the most delicate watcliwork, so dispensing with the use of oils and grease of all kinds. Ws are not yet informed of the manner in which the plumbago is employed, but if it can be success fully applied to railway carriages, a great saving to the companies will be effected. It is said to be used with many vehicles in Paris, and in machinery in several factories, and seems to give satisfaction.—Mechanics' Magazine. THE TONIC SOL-FA SYSTEM. the Society of Arts musical examination the papers may be worked either in ordinary or tonic sol-fa notation, the tonic sol faists giving the prizes. Only three out of thess certificates are, however, awarded to other than tonic sol-faists. The certificates are records of a positive, and not comparative, attainment. In Mr. John Hullah's examination in the theory of music, conducted strictly in ordinary notation, both the prizemen and half those obtaining first-class cer tificates are pupils of tonic sol-fa teachers. This is the third year that both the prizes have thus gone. THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.—The annual meeting of this association has been held at the Free masons' Tavern, Mr. H. J. Sla nresidir ;,, avoidable-esirrilor of - M..)8111.1a IV al Insley. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and the appoint. ment of the council and officers for the ensuing year, drew attention to the report read at the meeting of the Lord's Day Rest Association, held on the previous evening, which report set forth the number of petitions presented to Parliament against the objects of the Sunday League ; but the analysis of that report only convinced him that ignorance from remote quarters had been brought to hear upon a most important central question. It was remarkable that only one large city had presented a petition against the opening of the museums on Sunday. That was Liverpool ; and there were hardly 300 signa tures to it. Mr. Taylor seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and secretary. The Manchester Examiner repots that an outrage was perpetrated the other night at the brickfield of Mr. Bradbury, Bury New-road, which calls to mind some of the proceeedings attributed to unionists, and brought to light during the in quiry by the Trade Commissioners in Manchester. About 21,000 bricks, which had been stacked in Mr. Bradbury's yard, were thrown down, and ti, is malicious proceeding is natu rally connected with the factthat Mr. Bradbury has a difference with his men, in consequence of the part he has taken In the disputes in the building trades, having declined to supply bricks to the masters who have adopted the hour system. MR. SPURGEON ON INFANT SALVATION.-11l recent discussion on Christianity between Mr. Linscott. a member of the Bible Defence Associati-sm, and Mr. Antill, of Judd-street, it vas asserted by the impugner of Christianity that the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon had declared that " there are infants in hell a span long." Mr. Linscott having disputed the assertion, wrote to Mr. Spurgeon for his authority to contradict the statement, and his letter has elicited the following reply:—" Newington, S.F., June 1569. Dear Sir,—l have never at any time in my life said, believed, or imagined than any infant, under any circumstances, would be cast into hell. I hay,' always believed in the salvation of all infants, and I intensely detest the opinions which your opponent dared to attribute to me. Ido not believe that on this earth there is a single professing Christian holding the damna• tion of infants, or if there be he must be insane, or utterly ignorant of Christianity. I am obliged by this opportunity of denying the calumny, although the author of it will probably find no difficulty in inventing some other fiction to be affirmed as unblushingly as the present one, He who doubts God's Word is naturally much at home in slrszandering the Loya's pcxv.44ts,ryoure truly, 14, awLv, By order of the Board.

Against concurrent endowment the Prime Minister pronounced emphatically and conclusively last even ing at the annual banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London to her MAJESTY'S Government. Mr. GLADSTONE could hardly have expressed himself more clearly or more definitively as to the policy which he and his colleagues have the fixed intention of carry ing mit in respect to the Irish Church Bill when it comes back to the House of Commons laden with the Lords' Amendments. These amendments will re ceive from her MAJESTY'S Ministers every possible consideration. More than that, Mr. GLADSTONE'S Ministry will—it is the Premierhiunself who volunteers the assurance—be grateful for every improvement that can be suggested for or effected in the great measure for the insuring the security of the Empire and the peace of Ireland. The question must still remain, of course, as to how far the amendments of the Lords may be regarded as improvements by her MAJESTY'S Government. " Every change" —these are Mr. GLAD STONE'S own words—" Every change we shall respect fully consider, even though at the fir,t moment, and possibly at the last moment, we may not look upon it as an improvement." In the midst of the laughter provoked by this rather drily significant intimation the Premier added immodiately—" Yet our respectful consideration will be given all the same." A consideration subject, of course, as he observed, almost in the same breath, to the Ministe rial recollection of the—what ? —" of the position in which we stand, of the words which we have spoken, of the pledges we have given, and of the commasion we have received." Restricting the attention of him self, and of his hearers for the moment, to that matter of the pledges given by the Party now in power, to the country at large, in regard to this one particular measure, the Premier specifies them one after another—premising, before their enumeration, that those pledges were very few and very simple. First of all, there was a distinct pledge, be reminds us, that in the carrying ont the twofold work, in regard to the Irish Church, of its disest3blishinent and disen dow ment—that every just and equitable claim should, for certain, receive throughout a most careful and a most liberal attention. Another, the second on the exceedingly brief list of these solemn pledges, was to the effect that any one of those very just and equitable claims must almost, it might be said, as a matter of course, "be considered not only in the cases where they accrued on behalf of those who had km ministers or mem- 19,378.574 Year c Juno 30, 1869 I__ 'k 22,48 ',GOO 20,576,000 y,332,000 3,448,000 8,8;8,0(0 1,66 ~ 000 361,000 3,454,0.32 COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

The ceremony of presenting the testimonial Por i trait of Thomas Wright, the prison philanthroP i° to the City of London, took place to-day, is tile Guildhall. hied A Court of Common Council having asseno-1,0 in the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor in t ;', chair, and the whole of the civic author iti ; being present, Mr. T. Henry, M.P., the chair al % of the executive committee having informed tPor Lord Mayor that it was intended to present si mil I . portraits in Manchester and Salford, the Ear l h Shaftesbury rose, and iu a very excellent spe e " o presented ;the protrait (a full-length one and l ie admirable likeness) of Thomas Wright, for acceptance of the City of London. His lords b t r o said the labours of Mr. Wright were best knoviod those whose duty compelled them to visit prison s / 6 to from the time of Howard no one had done more t, reclaim our fallen fellow creatures than Mr. ViriV o lle had made his charitable mission the work of life, and, springing from the ranks of the we'cr- klOg t o class, his meritorious example was worthy cA highest imitation. Many a poor fellow-creaturno been brought back to the path of rectitude had lived to bless the day they saw Tbc w i, Wright. The Lord Mayor, on the part of o i l citizens of London, accepted the portrait ' l t o thanks, and said it should be placed amongs t pictures of the other worthies which adorned Guildhall. Mr. Wright's exertions were well ko ° o f to all who took an interest in the re formatilo the fallen, and he could not call to mind a name o f deserved so much honour and respect as Ono Thomas Wright, who, although risen frotaio, working classes, had made by his purely dope terested and perfectly independent motives a 13 0 3 that would long be remembered with respec t t veneration in England.
