On Thursday evening a crowded public meeting was held in this institution to commemorate the opening of the library, when the assemblage was ad dressed by several of the speakers at the morning meeting. Sir Joni POTTER, took the chair, and opened the proceedings by calling upon Mr. Paul , secretary to the Work'ing-men's Committee, to read a report which they had prepared. The Bishop of MANCHESTER was received with loud cheers. He said—The resolution which I have been called upon this evening to propose is— " That ibis meeting bails with most cordial satisfac tion the establishment of the Manchester Free Library in its two-fold character—as a library of reference and as a lending library," lam sure I represent the feelings of the subscribers of larger sums to this institution, when they wish their gift to be considered not as a charity, but as a bond of brotherly and friendly union—(Applause)—not as a means offered to the lower classes of redeeming themselves from an imaginary degradation, but as a tribute of respect and sympathy to those nobler par ties among the lower classes whom they have seen, and know, and loved, and taken to their hearts in respect and in affection, as seeking to en noble, and to raise, and to dignify their class.—(Ap plause.) Whatever aid, encouragement, assistance, and support, any imagined previous knowledge we can have acquired. may at all afford to direct the studies, to assist the researches, to aid and to encou rage the efforts of any person whatever to acquire knowledge, shall, under God's blessing, never be wanting on our part.—(Applause.) We would en deavour to make the home of the working man the scene of peaceful study, quiet literary enjoyment, re finement, and elegance of mind; and if there be one pleasure I have ever enjoyed, one privilege to which I have felt I ever have been admitt ed, one aspiration higher or holier with which it has pleased Providence to gift me, from the pursuit and from the study of the law,of ancient or modern times, that, in all its fal nes, and length, and breadth, and depth, and rich ness, would 1 seek to have conveyed to the inhabitant of the lowliest cabin, to the tenant of the meanest cellar in the diocese of Manchester and in the king dom at large.—(Loud applause.) But the resolution with which I have been intrusted goes yet farther. We are told— " That this meeting desires to express its earnest conviction that this institution will condec© in the high est degree to the intellectual and moral elevation of the working classes." Have we selfish motives ? proffer you no dogmas, we present to you no opinions of our own ; we point you to these walls, rich in literary treasures of past ages and the present, and we invite you fairly and freely to come for yourselves, seek for yourselves, in quire for yourselves, and humbly, earnestly, cau tiously, carefully, and prayerfully to judge for your selves.—(Cheers.) I do not hesitate to appeal to this meeting to join with me in earnestly, sincerely, de terminedly, devotedly joining to sacrifice individual feelings, and prejudices, and to determine, under Providence, that we will never leave our efforts till we have secured to our poorer brethren the means of an unselfish, unbigoted system of education, in which all may partake.—(Loud cheers.) You have no or dinary means of improvement. The liberality of one of the inbabitants of Manchester has lately placed a college among you, with instructors of the highest class —men who are determined and willing as they are able to do their duty. The task now remains for the working people of Manchester to show how far they will respond to the call made to them—how far they will avail themselves of the opportunities afforded them—how far they will be wanting to themselves or not, and to their families. Make your homes what they ought to be ; make your children what they make, as far as in you lies, this coin ought to be ; munity what it ought to be; what in many essential points it already is, but what it may still further, under God's blessing, become—your homes the abodes of order, contentment, prayers, intellectual and spiritual improvement—your children what they ought to be, enabled to avail themselves of the un rivalled opportunities which this city affords, of rising from the lowest to the highest stations—this great community what it ought to be, a lesson to the whole of England, which they may learn, and learn with satisfaction, from that example which Salford began, and which Manchester had been permitted so happily and so successfully to follow. I have great pleasure in moving the resolution.—(Loud cheers.) The Right lion. the Earl of SIIAFTESBURY was the next speaker. His greeting on the part of the audi deuce was a warm one. He said—l could very much have wished that this evening should have been devoted to hearing the opinions and statements of some of the working people themselves; and that we should not have been called upon to make set speeches from this platform, talking only in general terms, when we all might have been enlightened by your minute and practical experience. But as it has been thought fit to call upon us to say a few words, I will obey the orders of your chairman, and I will direct you to one or two observations; and 1 wish to make one practical observation upon a sub ject that seems now to be agitating many men's minds. I allude to that which is called the division of labour ; and I know there are many who maintain the dogma laid down by Adam Smith, that the divi sion of labour is necessarily and progressively dete riorating to the human mind. I maintain, on the contrary, that the division, ay, and the subdivision of labour, sets free the human intellect, and gives to those who would otherwise be occupied in a variety of the intensest occupations, the means of educati n g their minds, of directing their intellect, simultane ously with the division of the labour on which they are engaged, to some of the most occult and the l most important subjects of consideration. The res o lution makes reference to the subject of lending libraries.l 'n Depend upon it, the library of circulation, or lending library, is the grand vital principle of this night.—(Applause.) I am not going to speak disparagement of the library of reference, bu t I am going to speak in peculiar admiration and effect of th e library of circulation ; and for this reason—because it tends to pacify and maintain that which is the very strength of a nation, the very glory of a people— among all the ordinances of God, the most merciful and the most amicable—the domestic system of the country.—(Cheers.) And I hope that many a hus,. band, and many a brother, availing himself of the opportunity offered, will carry the book to his own fireside, and make his wife and his children, or his mother and his sister, partake of hie studies-- (Cheers) —and tend to elevate and purify the female mind. Ido not wish to be giving you too much counsel and advice, and presume to talk as if I were speaking from the pulpi t u p on these matters. But I have had much experien ce of the condition of th e working classes of these rea lms, not onl y in Lanca shire and Yorkshire, but in the rural districts and in the vast metropolis of London, and I do not hesitate to say that—ay—nine-tenths of the pauperism, nine tenths of the difficulties whereby they are beset, nine tenths of the woes that press upon them, are caused by their own improviden ce, are cause d by their own pern i c i o us habits of intoxication. — (Loud applause.) Depend upon it, it is in the power of the working classes of these realms, thanks to recent legislation, that has removed a variety of impediments, to attain to a standard of physical prosperity not to be surpassed even by the people of the United States. Therefore, Ido hope that this may offer another in ducement to withdraw yourselves from the allure ments of the casino and the pothouse—(Cheers)—and give yourselves to those pursuits that are suited to your dignity as intellectual, as immortal, and as Christian beings. After a few words from Mr. THACICERAY, The resolution was put to the vote and carried unanimously. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., was received with the most cordial and indefatigable cheering. He said, the se cond resolution, which has been placed in my hands, is to this effect : " That this meeting regards the subscriptions of up wards of 22,000 persons connected with warehouses, factories, and workshops, in all parts of the borough, as conclusive proof that the working classes feel a sin cere interest in the institution, and are prepared to bene fit by the advantages which it provides.' It was my fortune to be present at the meeting this morning, and I may say, without hesitation, having attended as many public meetings as most men within the last ten years, that I know no occasion or occa sions on which I have seen meetings more unanimous, more hearty, and more thoroughly comprehending and appreciating the object which had brought them together, than the meeting this morning and the meeting of this evening. The fact need not be con cealed, that during the last 20 years there has been growing a power in this country that every day speaks in a snore and more audible voice to the Govern ment; and, whoever be in office, we find almost an equal deference to the plain 'and unmistakable ex• pression of the public will .—(leer(s.) Now, this is the aspect which appears to almost the most im portant under which we can view this free library. Nothing can prevent political power being more and more spread among the people; but it is of great con sequence that in every man here, however humble his position, or any other man out of this plance, as well as the richest and the highest,—that wherever poli tical power is deposited, there should be wisdom and virtue so to exercise it that this great country may remain not only great, but may become every year , and every generation, greater in all those thin g s which go to ennoble a State and to spread permanent hap piness among a p eop l e .—(Cheers.) And zealou s as we all appear here to-night, let us not forg et that this is but one o f many institutions that exist i n this town, and of thousands that exist through the county —institutions of a kindred character, appealing as this does to ge nera l here, regard as pp r ; and let us, who are many others , to elevateau thire'sgtrrrueialltemnt a a s l i s ty o , f oaulre gpopula tion,and to give to those • who labour, not all the .el• LONDON, SATURDAY sure, nor all the means, but much of that which really tends to make men happy, as it is possessed by 1 those in apparently a happier and more fortunate con , dition of society. The Hon. Member strongly advo cated the reduetion of the taxes on knowledge, and concluded. The Rev. Dr. VAUGLIAN--I have had, perhaps, more than nny other person, to do with selecting the books that constitute here what we call British his to-y. Of course that is a department in which lam supposed to have some peculiar knowledge or judg ment. Now, I conceive there are youths present who are not without an interest in history, and in that department especially I would just say to them, it you would make a wise use of the volumes there placed within your reach, try to do it upon some system. Endeavour to group it, as it were, into different sec tions—the various parts that go to make up the whole of what we call history. Have a plan ;no one of our English histories will do for you, taken alone ; not even these of them that are most nearly descrip tive of what my views are as to what English history is would I advise you to read, to the exclusion of the rest. It seems to have been allotted to us, as the re sult of the various conflicts out of which our system in policy and in religion has taken its complexion, that history shall be everywhere written, more or 1e53, under a party bias. Well, then, trust to no one implicitly. Ccropare those that are known to write under different influences ; and try to get your impressions from a fair comparison. But that is an extended labour. I have spoken of history as having parts. "Divide and con quer" is the maxim, ascertain what the parts are. There is what is called military history, there is what is called civil history, there is the history of arts and science, there is the history of manufactures. Break up all these into these distinct sections, learn what the history gives you in relation to these civil matters separately, question yourself when you have read cer tain portions,—" What have I learned from this re lative to the great questions of government, the con dition of the people, legislation, and how the laws are administered, and manufactures, and commerce, and learning ?" Except you do this, my fear is that you may read a large space, and feel that, for want of some plan of this kind, you have not gathered the result that is necessary to the encouragement of your efforts. Now, we have histories that are written con siderably upon this plan—Mr. Hallam's " History of the Middle Ages," for instance—where you have the different parts broken up, each part complete in itself, and all the parts going to constitute the entire of the history. I could mention others ; I could mention the productions of one now present withus, in which we find this idea carried out, and the various phases of French history presented in our own language as never before—l mean the lectures recently published by the Professor of History in the University of Cambridge—(Cheers)—than which, I think, no reading snore interesting can be found for the thought ful young men of Manchester. I make those sugges tions, having once had some experience as a Professor of History, though so obscure were my doings in that way, that you may not be aware of the fact. I have ascertained how important it is, in order to enable youths to feel that they are making actual pro gress, that they should proceed on some such plan. Mr. J. BHOTHERTON said, it had often occurred to him, with reference to those libraries, that they should be further extended, if possible, than this was. One of the witnesses before the Committee of the House of Commons said that not only were lending libraries a benefit, but that an itinerating library might be still more useful in some parts of the country. In Scotland, and also in Cumberland, libraries of this kind had been found to work beneficially; and he (Mr. Brotherton) could conceive that in districts around Manchester, when these libraries should have been more extended, that such a system might be resorted to. There were many large villages where the people were much at a loss for books, and where they would have to wait long before any institution of their own was likely, to be established which would lend them ; but , supposing that zealous and in telligent librarians could be found, and supposing that there were 10 districts of the kind he had mentioned marked out round Manchester, and 1,000 volumes were divided among them, that would be 100 each, but by these districts exchanging one with another again, they might, in reality, each have the benefit of the whole thousand.—(Hear, hear.) He believed much good might result from such a plan. He congratulated them on the prospect of success which was before them, and concluded by seconding the re solution, which was then carried unanimously. Mr. R. M. MILNEs, M.P., then moved the next resolution : " That this meeting decides to express its gratification at the triumphant result of the late poll for a library rate, and to recognise the importance of the rate in principle, as a guarantee for the permanence of institu tutions thus supported. He said,—Don't think that it is such a very easy thing for a man to sit down and read in this library. It has taken a great deal of time to make the world learn how to read. Some 400 years ago the art of printing was invented ; not such a great marvel, after all, because it would always have been there if wanted; the only thing was the invention of the moveable types. In some 20 years after that time the art had got to what you call perfection. If you go to the library of an antiquary, he will show you books printed 20 years after the invention of printing, got up in a most beautiful style of execution, equal to anything which the art of printing could pro• duce; yet, how much progress have books made since that time in the world ! It is 400 years since this art was invented, and yet how small a proportion of the human race know anything about books ; and how much s maller the propor tion who ever read them; and how much smaller the proportion who ever remember what they read,— (Hear, bear, and laughter.) There are some countries in Europa—Prussia for instance—where there is what is called a popular system of education. Scarcely a child of eight years old is there but can read straight ahead ; but possibly if you see that child at thirty tarsyhdaode does noto books allow; year d altogether.old, you i I A I n fi d n v d e t r h y a t naturally as forgotten; h h o e w h a t o s rea h co e un h the political constitutionieof his ns gone into other —(Hear, hear.) The ci is utterly usel ess. him newspapers ; and so all this primary in.strucr culation tion of books has alrea d y occupied 400 years, yet it has he use of tobacco to o only taken fifty from one end of the world to the other.—(Laughter.) Dr. WATTS and several other speakers afterwards addressed then,eetg which terminated at about years for t halftpast eleve all the resolutions being carried unanimously. THE INCOME TAX. We are very much misteken if the tenacious obduracy of certain parties on the question of a rectified income tax does not ultimately prove productive of similar re sults to those experienced by landed proprietors in re spect of the corn-duties. Year after year, when the gross injustice of the actual tax was demonstrated, and vari ous expedients suggested for mitigating the pressure upon the general consumer, a resolute and succes4u l op position was organised against all proposals. Sliding scales were sneered at, colonial relaxations complained of, and fixed duties repudiated with abhorrence. The end of it was, that the country secured absolute freedom of trade, and Protectionists were left so hopelessly stranded that even accession to office could do nothing towards setting them afloat again. Exactly in the same course have matters been proceeding on the subject of direct t heir t financierstraditional would onal hear principles,of rao di fica n wand t t i a o xa ti whatever-of veo Official r f . have persisted to this moment in declaring, before the faco of a sober and mercantile people that 1,000/. a year derived from land was precisely the same as 1,000/. a year made across a counter, end worth nothing more. The conse sequence is, that the question has now been stirred and discussed to its very uttermost depths, and the public mind, instead of being restricted in its views to the dif ference between 1001. and interest and the interest of 1001, is now directed towards a discriminating survey of every species of property and possession. In another part of our columns will be found evidence of the advanced stage at which the inquiry has already arrived, and many readers, we doubt not, will wonder to i w t s h e a l a b s lv t ru e s d e o c n o m o tput propose,a t ions A o l n r. F the tt p r r r'a ece l n ot t t o er a eca d s d io r n e , ss t e o s enter minutely into the dispute referred to. It will be quite clear to those who have kept pace with the discus sion that Mr. Farr maintains his ground against his op ponents, but he descends from his " approximative to assessable values" to the expression of a simple truth, which will come home to the feelings of every man in the country. " Every person," says h e , " o f com mon sense I meet, knows perfectly well that the income from trade is worth less than an equivalent income from laud, and, feels that the wan with a life interest ought to be taxed less" Or coulee he ought. T l ° tax professes to be a tee upon property, the difference between various species of property being recognized by the addition of the term " income." One man has a certain description of property producing 1001. a year, which he could turn readily into the sum of 3,000/ ; another has a like yearly income, bat his property in it could not be turned into 5001. Yet, in a country where the "value of a thing" is proverbially recognized as "what it will bring" these two species of property are assessed alike. Be it remembered that these very statesmen who ex patiate so fluently on the " notorious impossibility" of distinguishing between income and property, have actu ally achieved the impossibility itself in the terms of their own Act. There are already certain distinct schedules and a man r f e r tu d r i t fi ls er n e i n s t ta k x in i d n s lo of receipts l)oper u ty nd a er nd on i e nc :r rci o ( l'her of these, according to his position. When it is wished to ascer tain our rateable capacities no difficulty is made in pro viding distinctions, but when it comes to an adjustment of the dues fairly payable from each, we are told that distinctions are beyond the reach of political arithmetic. A man without a sovereign in the world is not permitted to say to the collector "I have no pro p e rty the col lector circumvents him, and says, "Very . possibly; but from week to week you may bo getting just as much profit from your labour as will keep you afloat, and this profit, under the name of income, it has been thought fit to tax. A schedule, therefore, is provided expressly to meet your requirements, and you will find every pos sible description of income' included in its clauses." But here the discrimination stops. The law can clas sify property most ingeniously for thesliaskhemeonf, declaring it taxable, but not at all f or t h e sake of apportioning taxation. Sched u l es A. B. C. and D. are all carefully prepar e d f or cbauttchtoine a catching make the por tiona t e r ve t r e y s ofcl speciesass es contributiono under s elr-As 7 i ß s p. o d b e t n l a a g n r d e d Englishmen, pay pro portionate be alto gether impracticable. The advocates of this remarkable system of fi nance have one reason and one proof. Their reason for so legislating is, that it is " impossible" to legislate other wise, and their proof of the " impossibility" is that Mr. Pitt thought just the same. Mr. Pitt thought it wou ld be madness to attempt a discrimination between property and income. But Lord Melbourne once thought it would be " madness" to repeal the corn - laws, and th e Duke of Wellington declared it would be " madness" in him to undertake the office of Prime Minister. Never theless, his Grace became Prime Minister to very good purpose, and the corn-laws were repealed to a purpose h t a that, We themo most kingdomp rofoundi sn no n f v e i e c l t i i n o g n . n otwithstanding the illustrious precedents for obli qu i t y of vision in this particular, the next three years will not e w n h t ieer everyi n in a pass over without a very practical refutation of the doc trine referred to; and we suspect, indeed, as we h ave already observed, that the " possibility" of far more critical distinctions than that between half-crowns and half-sovereigns will be demonstrated in the face of day. " Public opinion," observes Mr. Farr on this matter, "is now in process of formation." The " opinions" dis cussed by our able correspondent have doubtless yet to be realized and embraced, but on the main point of the question opinion has been formed long ago. As Mr. Farr himself acknowledges, there is " not a person of common sense to be met with" who does not even now feel that to tax precarious earnings as absolutely equi valent to solid property is a monstrous wrong. No Englishman can ever be persuaded that 100 E. a-year re ceived in wages for labour, which depends on all the variable conditions of health and demand, is as good as 1001. a year derived from capital in the funds or landed possessions. It is an insult to his judgment to argue such a point with him. In the sense in which " property " is to be understood as constituting its possessor a contributor to the public revenue, it is obvious that there must:-Ise several descrip tions of such goods. Whether these can ever be so classified as to prevent all risk of injustice may be doubtful, as it is doubtful also in every other known de partment of economical science whether absolute perfec tion be attainable. But the difficulty of attaining to perfection will be no longer accepted as an excuse for making no improvement at all upon what is incon testably:the maximum of imperfection. Already our statesmen are discovering that they in this, as in many o ther matters, are surpassed by private individuals. M r. Farr, it will be seen, is ready, for hi mse lf end his eel leagues, to demonstrate that his r u l e i s, a t a ny rate, " twice as near perfect accuracy as the system now in operation," and, if such a rule is to be rejected. it must obviously be so in favour of one which is nearer still. The question can no longer be stifled as impracticable or " closed." It has been opened and handled to very good purpose, and direct taxation will only be tolera ted in future as a means of raisin g revenue when based li upon those principles of equity b y which al l t h e fiscal transactions of a free country ou g h t to b e regu lated.— Times. TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir,—The article in Vie Times on the Income and Property-tax was as correct and sound in its techeieal statements as in its general principles. The writer re quires no aid to assist him in demolishie such absur dities as have appeared in y our daily o but I have just seen the Economist and I beg to c all y your attention to one or two instances of inconceivable ignorance in the writer for a commer c i a l paper. Take, fur instance, this sentence:—" But capitalizing al l in come at 33 years' purchase, and taxing it at an rate, is really to tax the community, not according to its varying wealth, year by year, equal but according an arbitrary average of its wealth through 33 years." New, when an annuity or an estate is said to bo worth 33 years' purchase, this has no ref erence to the averag e income through 33 years; what is mean t, of course , is, that all the rents for 30, 60, 100 —an unlimited aural)" of a ears—are worth 33 times the year's rent' Every surveyor, valuer, and actuary in the country knows what " y ears ' purc h a se" is, and such an error is aiscre ditn hie to tho press. You will notice that we do not propose to capitalize ze all incomes a t t hi r ty-three year s ' purchase; three p cent, is no t t h e b as i s o f t h e plan proposed in the draught report. It is only assumed for the sa k e of illustr ation. vv hatever reasoning there is in the Economist staid.e goes against all va l ua tions whatso ever . It proves —if it Provesanything—the absurdity of the Government and all other valuations of annuities for life, for terms of years, and for ever. determined value of the property of the country cannot bree "rmined exactl but the values of parts of it a, determined every day with sufficient exactness for the purposes of cOrnmeree•and there is the rent, for the purposes of taxation assuredly no difficulty in getting from . income, or sate value, pproximation a sufficiently near a to the assessihle value.certain Weascertain that in a given year there is a f possession h am ount of property in the country in the certain individuals, in Proportion and we call Upon each to pay to the amount of that roporty in his po!ses sion, because that is the best Pmeasure of his of the amount of protection which he obtains, of . the ability, loss which he would sustain if the protection of society were withdrawn. i something new n One miht suppose that there was , thet Proposal to capitalize incomes or dividends in order to determine their relative value, whereas it is the basis The land of nearl y all the transactions of the day. agent capitalizes the net rents in all his valuations, so does the 14112.

By this . l. lPetheAs which we adopt for the sake of its aim- P ,, uelcY, we overrate the value of such incomes, as com pared with incomes derived purely from the interest of money or the rent of land. , You will o b serve that i n a ll valuati ons—s uch as in life annuities. —there is an assumed uniform rate of in terest, wish-h may be 50mewhat too high or too low for the period to which it is applied' But over Years the i nterest and the capi t a l bear a pret a series of ty corhtant relation t o each other; so that in all cases the tax may he t quitably e as it is popularly rated on the value of the property, or on the net interest—that is, the incon3 a4liA, miaus a deduction tor pre -lied, to insure the ca ital n a t risk.

It is one of Mr. Liqbtia,,e's errors that " all income is atieu a l,” and that the "'expenditure" is to be paid out of Lhe " income of the year. This is a curious paradox in England, where so much of our actual income for the RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETU RNNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles Receipts. ..-:-________ opened, -- iBOl . 1652. 1852.

We quite agree that, to ho exact, the incomes in diffe rent prutcssiors should he vauid on diff2rent bases; but we are quite satisfied with a rule which we can demon- trate—brings us t;fice .•- as near perfect accuracy—as the sp:teta now in operation, and has a solid intelligible prieciple for the basis of its operations—in use by the Government in the sale c f life annuities and the 'galas . tion of legscies—in us by all insurance-offiees--in use among thousands of friendly societies. All who are in favour of free trade and the extension of its principles are boun.d to support a system of direct taxation. And the best support to give it is to make it just—as fair and equitable as is practical. Every person of common sense I meet knows perfectly well that the income from trade is worth less than an equivalent in come from money or land; and feels that the man with a life interest ought to be taxed loss.

Mr. W. Baker, at the Green Gate, City-road, on view of the body of Patrick O'Hearn, 10 years old, who died on his return with his mother to the parish of St. Luke, Old street, from Ireland, where they had been sent under an order of removal. Sumo of the guardians end other parochial officers were present. Patrick O'Hearn, of 9, Elizabeth-court, Whitecross-street, said that the mother of the deceased came to him about two o'clock that morning. with deceased in her arms, and stated that he had been dead some hours. She had an other child with her, five years old. She and her husband were sent to Ireland by the parish about a year ago. His brother had since died. Mary Leary, about twenty years of age, said that she accom panied the mother of the deceased on her journey from Ireland. They left Cork last Friday week in a sailing vessel, and arrived at Newport, in Wales, on the follow ing Wednesday. The deceased was in good health when he started, us was also the other child. They walked the whole distance from Newport to London. Witness carried deceased on her back nearly all the way, and his mother carried the other child. On Tuesday de ceased was very sink, and had great looseness in his bowels. The last day, Wednesday, they started at five o'cclock in the morning and walked nearly forty miles. When they arrived at Kensington they went into a chemist's shop to get some medicine for deceased, when they were told the child was too far gone, and that nothing could be done for its relief ; at Hyde-park-corner they found deceased dead. Some ladies and gentlemen gave them halfpence. On one night they slept in a union workhouse. Every other night they slept in a barn or,stable. A young girl who came with them was left at Maidenhead, as she was exhausted, having been seized in the same way that deceased was. Eleanor O'Hearn, deceased's mother, stated that her husband died soon after her arrival in Ire lend, upon her removal by the parish officers of St. Luke. She must have starved with her two chilAren, at Cork, where she was not known. She left be cause she thought she could maintain her children in London, when she spoke to the clergyman who paid her pftss3ge to Newport. She cams to England at the age of 13 yeara. She married when she was 17, and she bad livid 27 years in the parish of St. Luke's, part of which time she had paid rates, and her family are buried there. Fourteen months ago her husband was taken ill, when they all went into the workhouse. They were soon after removed to Ireland. The Coroner observed that no one could blame the clergyman for as sisting the mother of the deceased, nor could they blame her for returning after having been 27 years in the parish. M r . John Courtensy, surgeon to the work hou se, said that the child died from exhaustion, conse qu e nt o n the vomi t i ng an d purg i ng, toget h e r with the absence of proper fo o d.

Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson put them through the evolutions of a field-day.

And in order to make the meaning of this charge quite unequivocal, we would ask our readers, if they be in doubt, to look again at our contemporary's article, where they will find a menacing peroration to the effect that there is no blotting out the remembrance of events like this, and that the hearts of men were its monuments. Now, what says our contemporary? It acknowledges that the monument is still in the chapel, bat in another part of the chapel. The fact is that the simple change effected was purely and entirely an architectural arrange ment. And in this consisted the felon act, the base and heartless vindictiveness towards the very ashes of the dead, respecting which our contemporary can afford to be so eloquent!

Yesterday an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Charles Noble Farebrother, aged thirty, mathematical instrument maker, who lost his life by an explosion on the premises of Mr. Darker, of No. 9, Paradise-street Lambeth walk. Henry Sexton, of No. 10, John-street, Lambeth, a brass-finisher, stated that ho had known the deceased about three years, and had worked with him in the service of Mr. Darker. On Thursday afternoon last, deceased had charge of a wrought-iron boiler, which was intended for en hydro-electric machine, ordered for the University College, Cambridge, which they were fitting up ac cording to the original plan. The deceased was at the foe go about three o'clock in the afternoon, and bad charged the boiler (which was only nine inches in dia meter) with the usual quantity of water. for the pur pose of testing it, when witness said, " Charley, how is the steam?" when the deceased replied, " Oh, just up." Witness left the forge to go to the vice, when Mr. Darker entered the shop, and in about a minute afterwards a loud explosion took place. Witness ran towards the forge, but the smoke and dust were so thick he could not see them for a few minutes. The forge was blown down, and a portion of the roof had been carried away. Wituees heard the deceased calling for help, and exolaim " Drag me out." Witness then discovered the deceased nearly covered with bricks and rubbish, and with diffi culty got him out into the yard. He groaned, and seemed much injured by the weight which had fallen upon him.
