The summary course pursued by the GoTerninect in regard to the Mayor of Cork, will, among all ex cept Fenians, yield universal satisfaction. The majesty of the law never required to be more promptly or more signally vindicated. And the announcement made, therefore, last evening, by the right hon. gentleman the Attorney-General for Ire land, cannot but be welcomed with the utmost satis faction throughout all parts of the United Kingdom. Remembering that, as the responsible law officers of the Crown took occasion to remind the Holpe of Commons yesterday, a functionary in the position of the Mayor of Cork can, in that capacity, according to the Charter of that ancient city, sit with her MAJESTY'S Judges of Assize as a Com missioner of Oyer and Terminer, it becomes imperatively necessary that the present occupant of the post should, without a moment's loss of time, be removed from his office, after the utterance of the disgraceful and disloyal words used by him very re cently upon a public occasion when he was presiding as chairman over a banquet of sympathy given to a couple of released Fenian Prisoners, named WARREN and CosTELLoE. Sitting as the Mayor of Cork does, ex officio as a Justice of the Peace, neither the Exe cutive Government nor the local administration and the vice-regal powers appertaining to the Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland, possess the capacity to remove him from the office of Mayor, or of Justice of the Peace, or from any office of magistracy whatever. To deal with the delinquent official, summarily, to deprive him of his authority as Chief Magistrate of the City of Cork, to deny him altogether from this time forth the capability of ever again receiving any trust what ever of the kind from the hands of his Irish fellow countrymen—it requires the supreme power of the Imperial Parliament. That authority of the Legisla ture, it is gratifying to know, is at once to be invoked. The incendiary language of the Mayor of Cork is to be silenced and punished. He himself is to be' degrad.d awl dismissed. His outrageous inti mation of his confidence iu Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. BLIGHT simply enhances his guilt as au outrager of public decorum—that intimation having teen made, only too manifestly, with a iew to ward off from himself, if possible, the penalty—he must evidently have felt that he had in curred by words expressive, if they had any meaning at all, of admiration for assassins and of encourage , ment to aFstksitiation. Men in the posi.ion of the First Lord of the Treasury and of the Pre•ident of the Board of Trade, men more particularly of tin' personal character and historic .1 antecedents of Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. GLADSTONE, are happily enough, however, not su very readily com promised. The expression of confidence in their regard, to which the Mayor of Cork was announced to have given utterance, was consequently regarded, THE SUN, LON as we have already observed, as an enhancement rather than in any way as a mitigation of the guilt already imputed to him. The result is, as we now see, that those last disgraceful utterances of the Mayor of Cork, have not saved him from the punishment to which his previous speeches had rendc:rod him liable. The extraordinary and exceptional course pursued in his regard by her MAJESTY'S Government, will have, we feel certain, a most bene ficial effect in suppressing these lawless and insurrec tionary movements latterly " frighting the isle from its propriety" on the other side of St. George's Chan nel. 'The conduct of the Executive in tl.us dealing with the more flagrant disturbers of the public peace in Ireland, cannot by possib:lity, under existing circumstanc •s, run the smallest hazard of being in any respect whatever miscon• strued. For, never, certainly, have there been inducted into offie3 as the responsible Government of the Crown any Ministers more generously disposed in their policy towards the vast m,:joril of the population of the sister island. Upon the compre hensive character of that policy, and upon the task of its being carried into effect practically and ener getically, they have staked their existence, they have pledged their reputation, they have devoted all their energies since the first moment of their for mation into a Ministry. It is all the more imperative upon them, as we cannot but think, how ever, for that very reason, that they, as the respon sible Ministers of the Crown, should act, precisely as they are now acting, in their conduct towards a reck less and foul-mouthed sympathiser with assassins and insurgents like the Mayor of Cork, now happily, within a very brief interval, to be Mayor of Cork no longer. THE Bishop of ST. DAVID'S is a very able man, but lie bungled most strangely in his speech on Monday night. To point out how very little there is that needs the supervision of a bishop, to shew how very well dioceses can get on with physically incapable heads, is scarcely the way to impress Parliament or the nation with the importance of the episcopal office. It is useless for Church newspapers to denounce as ribald those who ask whether bishops after tl,o 4Tp? described by Dr. TIIIItLWALL are really worth £5,000 a year. It is the bishops themselves who force the asking of this question. To give them their due, the Church papers have themselves fairly acknowledged and lamented the present state of the Episcopate, and especially the attitude assumed by the bishops whenever anything is urged as to the increase of their number and the greater efficiency of their order. It is painful to say so; but after reading the recent debates on the sub:ect, we are compelled to draw the conclusion that some, at least, of the bishops are so determined to maintain their tem poral position that they will even depreciate their office in order to meet the objection that, if they are incapable of discharging its duties, they ought to resign it. Clearly the bishops were appointed, in the first place, on the supposition that the office was important, and for that reason they received most liberal payment. Now, having secured the money, they turn round and tell us that it does not really greatly matter if their duties are performed by themselves—who, as in the Bishop of WINCHES TER'S case, get £10,417 a year for fulfilling them—or by men who do not even belong to the episcopal order. Once more we warn the bishops that they are doing more than has been done by all the efforts of the Liberation Society to abolish the Episcopate, or at all events that mani festation of it called a spiritual peer. If they have not utterly lost common sense they will support the bill which has been drafted by Sir JOHN COLERIDGE, and is to be introduced by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, for the retirement of infirm and aged prelates. Tirlinr. are boroughs and boroughs. There are boroughs whirl even millionaires refuse to " touch with a pair of tongs," and which receive the fit punishment of their depravity in the shape of dis franchisement, as Totnes has done; and there are boroughs in which electoral purity is rewarded by the large number of distinguished men who seek for the honour of membership whenever it becomes vacant. Liskeard is in that happy position. It may have the pick of Mr. GLYN'S list. It may choos'e any aspirant it likes from the Reform Club or BROOKES'S. No need for the little Cornish town to fall back upon rich nabobs or upon merchants of great wealth and damaged reputation. Liskeard may, if it will, have an orator, or an ex-Cabinet Minister, or a rising politician, or a local magnate. Each and all of these is ready to come forward ; some of them are some thing more than ready. Ib 1:5 pyp re i se th a t earPf.•l j-a,, , lnent which is necessary in selecting when there is an embarrassment of riches, and they may have a candidate after their own mind. Mr. HORSNIAN seems to be fully alive to the eligibility of the constituency, and to the keen competition there is likely to be for the honour of representing it. Without waiting for " the last sor rowful rites " to be performed, he has addressed the electors. That Mr. HonsmAN is an able speaker there can be no doubt; in fact, the House of Commons is, by his rejection at Stroud, deprived of one of its most incisive orators, who is a thorough master of the art of invective. Yet it cannot be denied that Mr. HonsmAN has proved a political failure. He was placed in a very responsible office, that of Chief Secretary for Ireland, but so formed its duties that while Irish members were loudly complaining that they could never get an interview with him, he was complaining that he had nothing to do. He resigned his post in disgust, and it cannot be said that anyone regretted his resignation. Since then he has been an Independent Liberal, his independence being shewn for the most part in opposing the measures of the Liberal party. He attained his greatest promi nence nine years ago, when his opposition to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Reform Bill, and his extravagant Gallo-phobism, made him one of the most con spicuous m. embers of the House. In 1865 he was threatened with opposition by the electors of Stroud, but, owing to the assistance of the Conservative party, he was re-elected at the head of the poll. Last year he could not count upon this assistance, for the constituency being quadrupled by the Reform Bill, the working classes were so strong that there was no chance for an Adullamite, and Mr. Honsmart did not even venture to stand, though he had been for fifteen years connected with the borough. His attempt upon a Scotch borough met with no success, and he thus found himself out of Parliament after having had a seat there for more than thirty years. He is now of the same age as the late member— rather an advanced period of life to be making new connections. Mr. BEItNAI. OSBORNE, who is an undoubted favourite with a considerable number of the electors, has had a political career in some respects greatly resembling Mr. TIORSMAN'S. He too has held office not altogether satisfactorily ; he too has had his feud with the Liberal party ; he too is willing to make it up. In one respect Mr. Osnonxr, differs from Mr. HonsmAx. The latter gentleman has represented but two constituencies, Cockermouth and Stroud ; the former was once called by Mr. DrsnAmt " the uni versal representative," for he has been Lumber for Wycombe and Middlesex and Dover and Lisiieard and Nottingham. his treatment of the Corns borough four years ago scarcely entitles him to expect a renewal of his relations with it. Learning that he was to be thrown overboard, he, on the eve of a general election, resigned his seat, in the hope that the electors would not be able to find a subs:;-,itute. Th:s little act of spite failed of its purpose, bu t was not the less unworthy and ill-tempered. The re is, however, a graver objection to Mr. OSBOI tNE. Liskeard has honourably identified itself I.vith social legislation, especially with the Permis4 ive DON, SI ti)NESDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1F69. Bill. That bill was supported by the late member; that bill has not only not been supported, but has been ridiculed by Mr. OSBORNE. At Nottingham he owed his seat in great measure to the fact that he was the organ of the publicans, andwhen their power was broken by the Reform Bill be lost his seat. It would be a case of backsliding, much to be regretted, if Liskeird were to elect r representative opposed to a large portion of the constituency upon one of the most important questions of the day. It would be particularly lamentable just now, because we have reason to believe that at the pre sent moment the Government is yielding to the strong representations of those who would reform the license system, and is prepared to carry out im mediately a portion of the recommendations, with the view of treating the matter more fully here after. It is very desirable that this pressure should be maintained, and that in all constituencies called upon to choose a representative this question should have prominence. Of the other gentlemen who have been named there are many who have strong recommendations. Mr. GRENFELL, for instance, cannot have too much praise for the public spirit which he displayed in giving up a safe seat at St. Ives, in order to fight the desperately hard, and, as it proved, losing, battle of the Liberal party in South- West Lancashire. As St. Ives, the borough in which of all others the Temperance question has most pro. minence, was prepared to dect llr. GRENFELL, we have no doubt that he would be found supporting license reform when it came on for legislation. Lord ELIOT has already supported :t. 111T.EDWARD VIVIAN'S views on this question are known throughout the West of England. Most of the other gentlemen whose names were mentioned, and )f whom the most pro minent was Lord AMBERLYS, would have to come to an understanding with the electors on this subject. We have little fear, whoever be selected, but that he will be instructed to support at the right time, and in the right place, the reform which in the course of two years will be the leading question before the Legislature.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, (PROII OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. TUESDAY, May 4. The Temps is very angry about the candidature of M. Devinck,for the 2nd Paris circumscription. This gentleman, who is to oppose M. Thiers, first announced himself as a can didate, then withdrew, and has now finally consented to stand. The Tenips thinks it the most impudent candi dature is the country. M. Devinck is a highly respectable man, a chocolate maker, and so far is eligible enough. But he is a member of the municipal council of Paris, he is one of the municipal budget commission, and, of allmen, is most intimately connected with the manceuVres by which Baron liaussmann succeeded in spending a large sum of money before asking the consent of the Corps L6gislatif. In fine, M. Devinck represents Baron Haussmann's administration, which was condemned root and branch by M. Rouher himself. To put up such a man as the official candidate for the much injured city of Paris is audacious. In the opinion of the Temps, the municipal council were, more than Baron Haussmaun, to blame for the irregular expenditure of money. They ought to have looked after the Baron, and they neglected this duty. The Temps hopes that the electors will treat M. Devinck as he deserves. The Constitutionnel does not allow its new politics to rust. It has commenced giving lessons to the Govern ment respecting what it ought to do, and it makes no secret of its opinion that the Emperor is now doing what he ought not to do. Yesterday it remarked that a free choice of deputies, or, in other words, the abolition of official candidatures, was essential to the prosperity of the country. " Any other system would end only in blinding the Government ; it would sleep in treacherous security, and expose itself to mischances which it could not avoid, because it would not be warned by the free manifestation of opinion." As the Government has so far plainly expressed its intention of keeping up the system of official candidatures, the inference to be drawn from this sentence is palpable. The late semi-official organ tells the Emperor that by ignoring free election he is exposing himself to the risk of a revolution. After this delicate intimation, the Cunsti tuttonnel lets the Chamber in for a piece of its mind, tells it that it is servile, does not represent France, and is merely the curtain to hide the real state of the country from the sovereign's eye. It is scarcely necessary to add that the Liberal papers all pub lish this exordium with the utmost glee. They will find something still stronger for their quotation to-day. 31. Gabiat, the manager of the journal, publishes his election address as the candidate for the 4th cir cumscription of the Dordogne. He is particularly anxious to assure the Government that he is a partisan of liberty WitIIOUG revolution, 'Jo , . this is about all the con solation he has to offer. lie says the nation desires the crowning of the edifice, and can attain that end only by naming representatives " who will defend its rights, and not servilely truckle always and everywhere to the will of the Imperial power." M. Gabiat's address would have been insignificant enough at any other time; nor is there anything particularly fine in M. Mitchell's articles. But the Constitutionnel was of all the official and semi-official prints the most respectable, and to the authorities the most valuable. It was prosy, and it commanded no great audience. But it did not, like the Palm, disgust the public and damage the Government by its frantic violence. It was decorous; and its loss is a serious affair. There is no doubt, as I said yesterday, that the Government, especially the Minister of the Interior, is greatly irritated at this defection. But there are many who believe that the Constitutionnel is supported by the Emperor, and that a change of front is contemplated. It is noteworthy that a curious article has just been published in the l'euple, M. Boulier's paper, pleading that the greatest reforms are those which Ministers have at first contested. The example of the British Govern ment is cited. Some say that this article was written by M. Rouher himself. The authorities worked themselves up into a terrible fright about the appearance of the Rappel. This paper, conducted by Victor Hugo's two sons, and supported by Victor Hugo himself, Rochefort, and other anti-Impe rialist men of mark, was forbidden the kiosks before it was published, and every effort was made to stifle it altogether. The first number, however, contains nothing formidable. It is far from being a good specimen of printing--it is bad, in short, even for a Paris paper—and it contains nothing more remarkable than a rhetorical firework in M. Hugo's worst style. There is nothingof the memorable Lan&rne type from M. Henri Rochefort. The accountant appointed to examine the books of the Union Insurance Company in order to ascertain the amount of Taillefer, the cashier's depreciations, has finished its labours. As usual, the sum is larger than at first stated. The process of swindling has been going on since 1861, and the total deficiency attributable to Taille fer's operations is nearly £60,000. Of this sum M. Jules Pic, the manager of the defunct Elenclard , is supposed to have received about two-thirds. This large sum cou!d not, however, have been entirely sunk in the semi-official paper—of that there is now no doubt. M. Pic applied a portion of it to his personal affairs. Whilst the driver of a mail-cart at Marseilles had turned his back for a moment, two or three fellows stole several of the letter-bags, containing some enclosures of great value. They got clear off, and the whole city had to be ransacked before they could be discovered. They were at length found in an obscure cellar, quietly opening the letters, which were strewed in heaps all around them. FRANCE.

MANCHESTER, Tues lay, M,ty 4.—So little busi ness has been going on since Friday last, that the downward tendency of prices still continues, and this market to-day has been dull, if not depressed. Still prices give way slowly, and producers are extremely dogged and stubborn about making further concessions , . The consequence is that transactions are few, and the amount of busini si done very limited indeed. Buyers have more choice of most descriptions of yarn and cloth afforded them, but cotton, especially the better qualities, has given way so little (in fact it is more questionable whether such kinds are not really dearer) that spinners cannot give way further, unless forced to do so through sheer necessity. On Saturday, as is frequently the case on that day, sellers declined some offers, hoping for an imp rove d d eman d i n th e beginning of the week. This, however, has not been the case, and to .day the demand is quite as languid as it was yesterday. lIUDDEIISFIELD, Tuesday.—There has been a fair attendance of buyers here to-day chiefly represen tatives of Irish and country houses. One or two London buyers have also been present, but these have almost confined their attention to job lots. Regular market goods of all kinds at fair prices continue very slow of sale. Manufacturers of first class fancy trouserings and coatings, however, for the most part keep well employed, and their mills are likely to be kept running with orders fur some time to come. The shipping trade con tinues dull in all branches, and the demand for unions and cheap woollen fabries is still very limited. There have been several failures here of late in the spinning trade to considerable amounts. There has only been a quiet business doing through the week in the local wool trade. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.--Comparatively little business has been transacted at the ironmas ters' meeting here this morning. Deliveries of pig iron are going on freely, both coastwise and foreign. The local demand for foreign purposes is also good and improving, the rail mills and foundries being well employed. Makers of pig iron are mostly well sold. Prices are—No. 1, 495. ; No. 3, 455. ; 6d. ; No. 4, 445. 6d. net cash. Stocks in makers' hands and in the warrant stores are decreasing, especially the latter. The arrangement concluded at Darling ton on Saturday, by which wages have been set tled in the finished iron trade for a period of eight months, a t an advance of 5 p••r cent., has given general satisfactioo and confidence to the trade. Bar iron remains dud. Plates and angles are in fair demand. NorrlNGuAat, Tuesday.—With a moderate at tendance on 'Change this morning the demand mild for yarns was below the average. Quotations were not materially altered, but the inquiry was languid, and the tone of the market was decidedly unfavourable to s:.llers. Fine yarns in go,,d quali ties remain steady. The demainl for silk is rather dull. Good Italian finds buyers, and there is a moderate quantity of spun selling, but there is comparatively little doing in other kinds. Orders for plain nets are of a limited character, and prices, though steady, are less firm. Fancy lace goods are in fair request for the home trade, and in the tnanufacturing and finishing departments most hands arc fully employed. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. We are authorised to state that on June 1 the Atlantic Telegraph Company will reduce their tariff from £3 70.6 d. for ten words, and Gs.

This will practically reduce press messages from Gs. 9d. to 2s. per word.— Western Morning News. GOVERNMENT AND THE LICENSING QUESTION. It is stated on authority that the Government, influenced by the strong representations which have been made to them by numerous and influential persons, intend to take immediate and partial action with reference to the licensing question. The Cabinet contemplate the suspen sion for two years of the Beerhouse Act, and during that time no licences will be granted by the excise. Before that time has expired Ministers count upon being able to introduce a measure for dealing with the whole question. It is probable that hereafter the licensing power will not be left entirely in the hands of the magistrates. THE TAUNTON ELECTION. The Taunton election petition was on Tuesday before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Willes, Montagu Smith, and Brett. At the late election Mr. Serjeant Cox was unseated on petition, and Mr. Henry James claimed and obtained the seat. A petition was then lodged against the return of the latter, who obtained a rule nisi to show cause why the petition should not be taken off the file. To-day the rule was argued, and the judges ordered it to be made absolute, holding that by the inquiry the matter was already res iudicata. DISABLED BISHOPS. The Pall Mall Gazette thinks that all that can be said at present of the bill for relieving disabled bishops of their duties is, that it will not come before it is needed. Our contemporary hopes that the bill which is to be introduced this session will not be allowed to share the fate of its predecessors. It might be arranged that the seat of a resigned bishop in the House of Lords should be retained by the original holder, and not pass to the coadjutor until he succeeded to the see. In this way the working bishop would be saved the expense of living in London during the session, and the Government of the day would be spared the imputation of having pressed on the superannuation in order to secure a vote in the Lords. To what a great extent intemperance subscribes to the labours of the Liverpool magistrates may be judged of by the fact that of 181 prisoners whose names appeared on the books of the police court on Monday morning, no fewer than 148—or upwards of 80 per cent. of the whole —were charged with drunkenness. Oa Saturday night, a working man, Levatt by name, who lives in Henry Edward-street, Liverpool, quar relled with his dau;hter, and, after striking her furiously over the head and face with a poker, threw her from window of an upper room in which they lodged into the street I elow. The poor girl was so much injured that she has since been in an unconscious state, and her recovery is doubtful. Levatt was brought before the magistrates on Monday, and remanded. A small debt action, "Legg v. Norton," came on for hearing before Mr. Marshall at the Leeds Count Court on 1,1 ouday. The plaintiff, who is a hatter, in 13riggate, Leeds, sought to recover four shillings for a hat which he sold to the defendant, a solicitor's clerk. The defendant put in a plea that ho had bJen overcharged ; but when ho stepped into the box and ivado one or two statements, the judge seemed to study his appearance and tnannor. After eyeing the defendant attentively, the judge told him that he set med to be in liquor, and committed the defendant for three days for contempt of court. lie would have to get back from York Castle as well as Le could. THE I'ERMISSITT BILL trEETING. The second meeting for demonstrating In favour of the Permissive Bill was duly held on Tuesday Welt. The place was crowded, and the proceedings were charac terised by enthusiasm. The Ven. Archdeacon Sandford occupied the chair. On the platform were also Arch deacon Denison, Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart., M.P., Mr. S. Pope, Archbishop Manning, Dr. Brewer, M.P., Mr. Dalway, M.P., Mr. Whitworth, M.P., Mr. Blake, M.P., and other known advocates and friends of temperance. Sir W. Lawson, M.P., moved the first resolution, calling for efficient legislative action in the matter of the drinking laws, to remedy the deplorable condition of the nation. The hon. gentleman traced the history of the legislation promoted by the United Kingdom Alliance. Next week he should have the honour of bringing forward his measure in the House of Commons. He knew not how many hon. mem bers would support him. He had no data at all, but the signs of the times were encouraging. He did not say that the Permissive Bill, if gassed, would at once bring about a cessation of drinking ; but it would tend to remove the sources of drunkenness and misery. The chairman, in introducing Dr. Manning as the seconder of the resolution, made one or two observations which called forth a regular burst of enthusiasm. I have the Archbishop, be said, of another communion on the one hand. I wish with all my heart we had, on the other, the Archbishop of Canterbury. That his Grace is with us heart and soul against the spread of intemperance, there is no doubt, still he has not swallowed the Permissive Bill, He, however, told me with satis faction, the other day, of having co-operated with Arch bishop Manning in the common cause of humanity a few months ago. I have had the satisfaction of standing side by side with Archbishop Manning twice in the Free Trade Hall of Manchester, and I am proud of having him on my right in the metropolis of the country to-night. I have been reviled for my co-operation With the pzelate of another communion, and with Nonconformists, from whom I differ, but whom I still admire and love. My simple answer to these traducers is that which was given by our Lord and Saviour when he held forth the Samaritan as an example to the Jews, and uttered these memorable words, " lie that doeth the will of my Father who is in Heaven, the same is my mother and sister."—Archbishop Manning made an eloquent speech, which he confined to an answer to two objections—that the measure was impracticable, and that it was extreme. As to its being impracticable, he did not see why that which was practicable in America—ten States having adopted, not a Permissive Bill, but a Maine law—and in some of the colonies, should be impracticable in r.no.—a- A. to its being extren,a, answc. ci,at the evil was extreme. Ar.p., and Mr. Blake, M.P., supported the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. Other resolutions were adopted, calling upon Parliament to provide a remedy for the evils arising from the liquor traffic, and approving a petition on the subject. HAY MEETINGS. - 4 - The May Meetings in the metropolis are now in full swing. Exeter Hall is nightly crowded with enthusiastic audiences cheering on their favourite orators and preachers. The Freemasons' Hall and St. James's Hall are also in request night and day. Country ministers are taking their usual annual holiday ; and benevolence and charity are supposed to rule the hour. TilE LONDON FREE AND OPEN CHURCH ASSOCIATION. Not the least interesting of the meetings held on Tuesday was that of the London Free and Open Church Association at Freemasons' Hall, Lord Wharncliffe in the chair. There were also present Lord Eliot, the Hon. E. Ashley, Mr. T. Brassey, 111. P., Mr. C. Neville, Rev. Dr. Lee, Rev. Crosbie White, Rev. W. Wallace, the Rev. Mr. Shelford, &c. The chairman stated very forcibly the arguments in favour of the association. The Church of England, he said, was now upon her trial, and sooner or later she would have to bear the test of shewing whether she was the Church of the people, or simply the Church of the rich and of the well•to-do. It was easy for the rich to attend church, but it was difficult for the poor. The poorbad no other inducement to attend Divine service than a regard for religion, and therefore it became the duty of all other classes to see that no hindrances or obstacles were thrown in their way. For himself, he would say that he would very seldom go to church if he found that on account of his garb, or something in his appearance, he were left to stand in the aisle or at the door. That same feeling was maintained largely among the poor, and it was in consequence of it that this free and open church movement was taken up. It was already most successful in the country. The weekly offertory, which had superseded pew rents, provided a better income for the clergyman. Lord Eliot, Mr. Brassey, M.P., and the Hon. B. Ashley also addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed approving the aim of the association. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. Exeter Hall was occupied by the Church Missionary Society. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided at an afternoon meeting, supported by the Bish;:p of Ripon, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Fitzwalter, the Dean of Exeter, &c. The Archbishop addressed the meeting in support of the society, earnestly advocating union among the various sections of the Church. Notwithstanding existing differ ences, he believed there never was a time when the Church of England was more powerful and earnest in its work ; and the operations of the Church Missionary Society formed an eloquent testimony to that opinion. It appeared from the report that 156 stations had been occupied last year by 320 clergymen, EuropPan. r_a.f.ivp I. 1863 there were 16,145 communicants. The receipts from all sources amounted to £157,330 lls. Gd. The report was adopted, and various resolutions spoken to by the Bishop of Ripon, Mr. J. Bateman, Bishop Ryan, the Bishop Designate of New Zealand, &c. In the evening a second meeting was held, under the presidency of Sir T. F. Buxton. CHRISTIAN MORAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION.--THE CHRISTIAN INSTRUCTION SOCIETY. The City Terminus Hotel was chosen by the supporters of the Christian Moral Science Association. The chair was occupied by Mr. Hugh Matheson, who was sur rounded by ministers of various denominations. The report, read by the Rev. Dr. Cather, stated that during the past year there had been an increase secured to the provisional council, which now consisted of 125 members, and it was confidently hoped that the full number of 145 would be obtained in the course of the year. The scheme for raising a fund of £3,000 as a working capital was progressing satisfactorily, and the sum was in a fair way of being made up. The council further re ported that they had advertised the prize essays, and that several MSS. had already been received. The chairman, Dr. Chalmers, and other gentlemen delivered speeches in support of the claims of the association. A similar association held a meeting at Finsbury Chapel, the Christian Instruction Society. Mr. J. Alexander presided, supported by the Rev. J. A. Wilson, Rev. A. M'Auslane, Rev. L. D. Bevan, and other minis ters and gentlemen. The report stated that the society was founded in 1825, but had of late years fallen into decadence. A strong desire, however, was felt on the part of its friends to resuscitate it, and from the encourage ment which the society had received, this appeared pro bable. Addresses on the spiritual destitution of London were delivered by the chairman, the Rev. J. A. Wilson, Mr. R. Sinclair, and other ministers and gentlemen. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. Mr. Jefferson Davis, in a private letter, says that his health is excellent, %lid that he intends to return to this country this spring. He adds :—"lt has been my purpose to return this spring to what was my home, and if per mitted to do so, without injury or embarrassment to my friends, to engage in some business which may yield a support."—New York Times. Madame Patti has undergone a slight operation, which will delay her journey to London for some eight or nine days. The patient refused chloroform, and showed wonderful courage during the operation, which was per formed by M. Nekton. Not the slightest danger is antici pated, but, lest erysipela3 in the head might set in, a week of perfect repose is prescribed. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.—The Gazette announces the appointment of Major• General E. Frome as Lieutenant -Governor of Guernsey, and of Mr. C. A. Cobbe as an Inspector of Constabulary. Knighthoods have been conferred upon Mr. J. Martin, late First Minister and Attorney-General of New South Wales, and upon Mr. it. Officer, Speaker of the House of Assembly in Tasmania. BURYING A CORPSE WITHOUT IDENTIFICATION.— The Dewsbury Reporter tells a very singular story. A short time ago a person residing at Bank Top, Earls heaton, received information that his mother, an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum at Wakefield, was dead, Il e went to that institution, and found a coffin, in which he was told the body of his mother was placed, and he was advised by the officials not to allow it to be opened, inas much as it concealed rather a hideous spectacle. He acted upon their advice. The corpse was conveyed to Earlsheaton, and it was interred by order of the deceased's son without having been identified. The funeral and all the preparations connected with it involved a cost to the son of over £3O. It was subsequently discovered that the person who had been buried was not the young man's mother, but a person of the same name belonging to Pudsey ; and, moreover, that she for whom he mourned was not dead, but enjoying her usual health. She is still an 91 the asylum; """'' THE MAGAZINE'S. ) The principal at tide in this lilollill'S St. Paul's is der 1, ; to the question of Trades Unions.
