The Middlesex Grand Open Handicap Steeplechase—the eventpar excellence of the Harrow Meeting—was reserved for this, the concluding day's sport.; but as the majority of the visitors on the first day had quite enough of it, the princi pal feature of the gathering failed to prove attractive. The card was weakened by the absolute failure of the Stand Plate and the Volunteer Vase, and with the weather much colder than on Friday, no wonder that the attendance was con siderably less than on the first day. The racing, however, was much better, the contest for the Hunters' Stakes pro ducing a particularly smart struggle. The Handicap Selling Stakes, appointed for half-past one, was an event upon which both bookmakers and bookers speculated with evident suspicion. Four ran, and for some little time after the numbers were hoisted no favourite could be found. The moment, however, The Devotee party executed a commis sion on their animal, he became an immense favourite, and notwithstanding that the course was a perfect quagmire, odds were laid upon Devotee. The race was never in doubt, and the favourite coming away from Confusion, before reaching the distance, won in a:canter. The Hunters' Stakes, like the previous event, brought out the whole of the entries. Of the eight starters four only were spiritedly betted upon. Wigloy, an. evident "roarer," was favourite, Dispute being second in demand, while Rivet and Miss Joyce found backers at 5 to 1 each. The issue of the race was, after going two mile:, confined to Miss Joyei, Dubious, and Rivet ; but the latter, after a punishing finish, won in the last dozen strides by a head from Miss Joyce, who had mad e the greater part of the running. Othello fell before going a The thousand and one other attractions of the Palace in clude :—Tne New Picture Gallery, the Fine Arts Courts, in variety and beauty unequalled in the world; the decorations of the Palace, with the Great Christmas Tree; Shakespeare House, Montanari Models, Swings, Roundabouts, Invigora tors, and other popular Amusements ; Galleries of Models and Ships, Armour Plates and Armstrong 40-pounder, lent by official authority ; the extraordinary Chimpanzee, the unique Aquariums. All these things render the Crystal Palace the one place of holiday enjoyment. - Admission, One Shilling. Children under Twelve, Six pence. O, ea for admission from 10 till dusk. mile, and it is believed was so seriously injured that he will have to be destroyed. Dispute, in the same interest, also came to grief at the same fence the second time round, when going strong and well, and with a great prospect of suc cess. The winner, Rivet, was bred by Mr. James Merry, whose colours he carried successfully in the £5O Maiden Plate for two-year-olds in 1861, which race was won by Fig, Jack-in-the-Box being second, and Grisette third. There were eleven runners from the twelve coloured for the principal event of the day, which excited considerable interest until the last hurdles were cleared. At that point Ibex, who had throughout kept a prominent posi tion, came to.the front and won easily. Mr. Brayley landed a good stake by the result, his jockey (Page) assuring him on the previous day that Ibex could have won the Harrow Steeplechase Handicap Plate had the horse not met with an accident. A match of a very one-sided character, for the Selling Handicap Steeplechase brought the proceedings to a close. Full details of the running will be found below. A Handicap Selling Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all ages; Winner to be sold for £4O. About five fur longs. 4 subs. _ _ _ Mr. Kane's Devotee, 6 yrs, 7st 101 b (Hibberdi 1 Mr. Burrell's Lifebuoy, 4 yrs, 7 st 101 b (R.

Confusion held the lead till within 300 yards of the win ning post, where :Devotee easily passed him, and Comery perceiving he had no chance of winning, subsequently allowed Lifebuoy (beaten four lengths by Confusion) to get second. Lady Overton bolted soon after starting, and took no part in the race. A Hunters' Stakes of 5 sovs ep,ch,",with 20 added ; 12st each ; winners extra, and selling allowances. About three miles. Mr. Atkinson's Rivet, 6 yrs. (£5O), list 71b (Capt. Harford) 1 Mr. R. Walker's Miss Joyce (h b), aged (£100), 12st 71b (inc. 71b ex.) (Owner) 2 Mr• Thomas's Dubious, aged (£5O), 12st (inc. 71b ex.) (Holmes) 3 The following also ran:—Wigley, Dispute (late Ancho rite), Othello, Jenny Jones, and Dunston. Betting-3 to 1 agst Wigley, 4to 1 agst Dispute, sto 1 each agst Rivet and Miss Joyce. Immediately the start was effected Dunston ran to the front, but in a few hundred yards Miss Joyce deprived him of the lead, and clearing the brook, which all got over with out mishap, she at once assumed a commanding position ; Dunston following second, Othello third, Dubious fourth, Dispute fifth, with Rivet, Jenny Jones, and Wigley well up in their track. At the second fence Othelld fell, and was so seriously injured by one of the competitors jumping on him that it was thought the horse's back was broken, but the horse, however, with assistance, walked to his stable in the neighbourhood. After going once round the ground Dispute, who had taken a prominent position in the race, fell at the _save fence which had brought her stable companion (Othello) to grief. - Neither of tho jvckcy however, Mr. Mumford and J. Knott (the latter of whom had a narrow escape) was hurt, nor was Dispute. Nume rous alterations of position occurred with the rear rank in the last mile, but except being for a short distance headed by Jenny Jones, Miss Joyce held the front position from the time she took up the running on passing the stand the first time, till within 50 yards of the winning post where Rivet passed her, and after an exciting race won by a head. Dubious finished two lengths behind Miss Joyce. Jenny Jones was a bad fourth, Dunston (who injured himself in jumping) being fifth, close up. Nothing else passed the post. The winner was sold to Mr. Blencowe for 125 guineas, placing a surplus of £75 to the fund. The Middlesex Grand Open Handicap Steeplechase of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, with 200 added ; winners extra. About three miles and a half. 13 subs. Mr. E. Brayley's Ibex (h b), 5 yrs, lOst 111 b (Page) 1 Mr. T. Iven's Ladbroke Lass, aged, list 41b (Mr. Ellison) 2 Mr. G. Walker's Pigeon, 6 yrs, 12st 21b (Owner) 3 The following also ran :—lronsides, Crusade, Goshawk, Balleycasey, Duster, Aggressor, Deception, and Goldfinder. Betting-5 to 2 agst Pigeon, 6to 1 each agst Deception and Aggressor, 8 to 1 agst Ibex, 9 to 1 agst Ironsides, 10 to 1 agst Ladbroke Lass, 100 to 8 each agst Crusade and Goshawk. Deception made play, followed by Ladbroke Lass and Ironsides, to the brook, where Ladbroke Lass took up the running. Next the Lass were Deception, Ironsides, Ibex, Crusade, and Duster, who frequently changed places ; whilst in their rear followed Balleycasey, Aggressor, Gold finder, and Goshawk in close company ; Pigeon lying last, a considerable distance from the leader. Little variation oc curred until reaching the stand the second time, where De ception and Ironsides went in front of Ladbroke Lass, and upon arriving at the judge's box Ironsides took command but stumbling in the deep clay came on to his head, and nearly threw States, who, in pulling the old horse together baulked Deception, and Ladbroke Lass again went on with the lead, followed over the brook by Balleycasey, Crusade, Ironsides, and Aggressor; Ibex, Pigeon, and Duster being close up. Half a mile from home Balleycasey, Ironsides, and Crusade dropped astern, and Ladbroke Lass rapidly compounding, enabled Ibex and Pigeon to draw upon her in the last quarter of a mile. Young Page judiciously waited with Ibex until the last jump had been cleared, and then sending the ex-flat racer along at his best pace, quickly caught Ladbroke Lass and easily defeated her by four lengths. Pigeon, who looked formidable to the distance, was there hopelessly beaten, and struggled home two lengths from the second ; Duster was a bad fourth, Iron sides fifth, Crusade sixth, Balleycasey seventh ; and Gold finder (who staked himself three fences from the finish) walked in eighth. Goshawk fell and walked in with the crowd, as did also Deception. A Selling Handicap Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 10 added ; winner to be sold for 40 sovs. About 2/ miles. 3 subs.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab lish the prlncip`e of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders. is wholly de pendent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition t' this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a con iderable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. Contributions are received by the Treasurer. Edward Has terman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs.

The journals announced a short time since the death of the famous lion-killer, Jules Gerard, who lost his life while attempting to cross a river in Africa. Gerard's mother has addressed the follow ing letter to a friend of her son, M. Leon Bertrand, dated from the Hospital of the Cross, at Nice : "It was the Minister of War who informed me of the death of my poor Jules. My heart is broken with grief. I know how good and generous you were always to him, and I shall be for ever grateful to you. How can I tell you of the anguish that overwhelms me ! There remains to me only the memory of my son, which I will carry with me to my grave. It is in the name of all that your kind heart, has done for him that I, the aged mother of Jules Gerard, ven ture to inform you of my deplorable situation. At the age of 80 I find myself without any resources whatever, with four little granddaughters abandoned by their father for the last three years, and their unhappy mother, who for tunately has found a situation in the family of a noble hearted person. I know how these lines will afflict you, but to whom can I confide my sad state if not to you ? Picture to yourself the mother of Jules Gerard in a wretched garret in a hospital, paralyzed and deprived of common neces saries of life. How grateful should Ibe if, among your numerous acquaintances, some persons would interest them selves for me and these four little girls. It is to you that my son owed in great part his popularity, and it is to you that, in my turn, I would owe relief in my cruel position." Moved by this appeal, M. Bertrand has made arrangements for opening a subscription in her favour. The Siecle has contributed a certain sum, and it calls upon those who were admirers of the enterprising officer " who, by his courage in facing, alone, the lion of Africa, has done far more for French colonisation in Algeria than many Generals." Jules Gerard was a remarkable man in his way. He had enlisted as a volunteer in 1841, being then 24 years old, in the corps of Spahis. Endowed with extraordinary intrepidity, and being a first-rate shot, he seemed to take exquisite pleasure in track ing, which he continued to do for 11 years, the lions that were the terror of the colony of Algeria. During that period he killed 25 lions, and got the name among the Arabs of the " terrible Frank." He re turned to France in 1855 with the rank of Lieu tenant and the cross of the Legion of Honour. In that year he published his first work, "La Chasse au Lion," and in 1858 " Le Tueur des Lions," both of which ran through several editions. Few men were more popular. He was quiet and unas suming in manner, and never spoke of his exploits with boasting or exaggeration. He was greatly flattered with the attention paid him in England, and professed the greatest esteem for Englishmen. SHREWSBURY AND NORTH WALES. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the office, 1, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster. The report stated that the main line between the junction with the Shrewsbury and Welshpool Railway, and tho Cambrian line was sufficiently advanced to enable the con tractor to carry goods and mineral traffic throughout, but it was thought desirable to double the completed portion of the line before opening it for passenger traffic, and these works were in satisfactory progress. The report having been agreed to, the retiring directors, Mr. W. W. Cargill, M.P., and Mr. P. Wooley were re elected, and also Mr. R. B. Blakemore, the retiring auditor, The meeting was then adjourned to the 7th of April. HALESOWEN AND BROMSGROVE. Lord Lyttelton presided at public meetings held atßroms grove and at Halesowen, on Friday last, for the purpose of promoting a line of railway between the above places. 36. LE FEUVRE the engineer, explained that the line was only five miles in length, and would branch from the Mid land line at the top of the Bromsgrove incline to Halesowen. The cost would be about £BO,OOO, and there would be one tunnel of 400 yards. It would be the of opening the great coal and iron districts to the Midland Railway. It was also proposed to make a short branch line into Broms grove town. Resolutions in favour of both projtets were carried una nimously, and petitions to Parliament in their favour adopted. SWANSEA VALE AND NEATH AND BRECON JUNCTION, The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the office, Duke-street, Westminster-31r. W. L. Banks in the chair The report stated that the detailed survey of the line had been completed. The directors had entered into a contract with Mr. J. Dickson for the construction of the works, and were apprised by him that in a few weeks they would he commenced and prosecuted with vigour. The directors ob served with satisfaction that the Neath and Brecon Com pany were seeking powers to acquire a lease of the Swan sea Canal, which if sanctioned by Parliament would be conducive to the material advantage of this company. The directors, in consequence of the agreement they had entered into with Mr. Gwyn and others, had promoted a bill for making a branch to Abercrat. They also intended to apply for further powers to effect a junction with the Swansea and Neath Railway, with a view to acquire a direct access into the town of Swansea and the Swansea docks. The ac counts showed that 0,000 had been received and expended. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. MASTERMAN, the report was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The report of the directors of this company states that the total traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to £226,476, and for the corre sponding half of 1863 to £224,327, showing an increase of £2,149. The net surplus revenue for the half-year was £95,752, out of which the directors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 4i per cent. per annum be paid to the proprietors of the consolidated stock of the company, leaving a balance of £10,432 for next half year's account. The traffic for the last three months of the year had not exhibited an improvement in any department. They had entered into a contract with the Post-office au thorities for the conveyance of the mails for a period of 10 years, for the sum of £29,500 per annum, being about £1,700 per annum less than they had been paid under the last award by arbitration. The directors had taken the ne cessary steps to apply to Parliament for power to convert the bonded debt and Government loan into perpetual be benture stock. They had entered into an agreement with the directors of the Cork, Youghal, and Queenstown Rail way for the purchase of the line for the sum of £310,000 of of the stock of the company, subject to the approval of the proprietors. The capital account showed that £5,694,150 had been expended, leaving a balance against the company of £50,216. The revenue account showed that £228,297 had been received, and £99,921 expended, leaving a balance of £128,906, out of which £17,168 was deducted for prefer ence shares, leaving, with a balance of £1,014 from last ac count, £95,752. SOUTH-EASTERN. The revenue receipts on this company's lines, including rents and sundries and returns for steampacket service, amounted for the four weeks ending Jan. 14 to !£85,180, and the expenditure to £43,557, leaving a net sum of £42,557. The total receipts for the 23 weeks and six days ending as above amounted to £610,326, and the expendi ture to £267,630, including rates, taxes, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steampacket service, leaving a n et balance of £342,696. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts of this company's lines, 1,377 miles in length, amounted for the week ending the 14th January for local passengers, to £4,077 ; for, foreign passengers, to £5BO ; for mails, &c., to £642 ; for local freight and live stock to £12,399 ; and for foreign freight and live stock, to £2,431; total, £20,129 ; and for the corresponding week of last year to £20,421, showing a decrease of £292. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The re f po orm rt of of e th ab e le di e r h e o c w to e rs ev o e f ry this pro c b o a m bm pa t n y y o s f ta ft t il e l s y t e h n a_t the swering the expectations formed of it. The spinning of the copper strand of the conductor commenced on the 18th of April last, and the covering of the same with gotta percha to complete what is called the " core" of the cable, com menced at the Wharf-road works on the 19th of the same month, since which the manufacture of core has been gra dually and carefully progressing at those works, but owing to the extensive and important improvements which had to be effected in the machinery of the contractors at their cover ing works at Morden-wharf, East Greenwich, with an espe cial view to the present cable, it was not until the Ist Sep tember last that the earliest covering machine, used in applying to the core its external coating of iron and hemj, could be started in its work of producing completed cable. Since that time other machines have been added, and the weekly rate of manufacture has been gradually on the in crease, until there are now seven covering machines fully employed, the united labours of which have, up to Satur day, January 28th, produced 1,035 miles of cable, all of which, after careful and continuous tests, has been found to be electrically in a very satisfactory state, and far superior to any cable hitherto produced. The Great Eastern steamship, from which it has been determined to lay the cable, sailed from Liverpool in possession of the contractors on the 11th July last, and anchored at Stangate Creek, in the. River Medway, on the 13th of that month ; since which time there have been erected within her three water-tight iron tanks, each of nearly 59ft. in diameter and 20ft. in depth, for the reception of the cable; and her Majesty's Government having left the hulks Amethyst and Iris for the purpose of conveying to her the cable as from time to time completed at East Greenwich, these two ships have also been furnished each with two large iron tanks, so that the cable may never be out of water fromits commencement until its final submersion. The electrical tests can thus be made with great nicety, the slightest fault being instantly manifested by the constant access of water to the core of the cable. The Amethyst left Morden-wharf with her first cargo on the 17th inst., and arrived safely at Sheerness on the next morning, and on the 19th the coiling of this cable into the tank in the forohold of the Great Eastern com menced. The Iris is now taking in cable, and will leave for Sheerness in a few days. The directors are assured by the contractors that there is nothing to prevent the entire cable being completed and shipped on board the Great Eastern by the end of May. The recent high rates of interest have enabled the Board so to uttlise the balances of capital from time to time in their hands as to have earned the sum of £6,480 up to the end of last year, out of which, besides providing the current expenses of the com pany up to the present, the directors have repaid the loans advanced from time to time by themselves and other shareholders during the depressed state of the company, and whereby its dissolution was prevented. The directors regret to have to allude to the arrears of call as greater than they had hoped to see. They money is now im peratively required to meet the demands of the contrac tors, and the directors trust therefore that those share holders who are in arrear will perceive the absolute neces sity for paying up without delay. • The balance sheet shows that £465,761 had been expended on the old cable, and on the new cable £189,621, making together £655,382, leaving cash and securities in hand on the 31st December last, £144,256 ; the total receipts from the commencement having been £799,638 to the latter date. HULL DOCKS. The annual meeting of this company was held on Thurs day at Hull ; Mr. J. Firbank in the chair. The Chairman stated that the present was the most satisfactory report that had ever been presented, notwithstanding the serious draw back consequent upon the Danish war. He congratulated the shareholders that they could now accommodate any ship afloat, save the Great Eastern. The report and statement of accounts were adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 5 per PRICE 4d. S TAMPED sd. The Garotters at Sheffield.. •- After a protracted delay, the Sheffield police have suc ceeded in taking into custody two of the men who committed the atrocious outrage upon Mr. Burnby, coal agent to Earl Fitzwilliam, named Dennis Carr and Henry Smith. They were brought before the Sheffield magistrates on Saturday, charged with the crime. Carr was apprehended in Birming ham. Another of the ruffians, named Edward Hall, ab sconded soon after the robbery, and escaped out of the hands 1 of half-a-dozen police officers in Birmingham, leaving be hind him ample proof to convict him of several serious crimes. The evidence against Carr and Smith was gone into - at some length. Mr. Burnby, who is still very ill, said— " On Friday, Dec. 23, I was returning home between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening. When within a couple of hun dred yards of my own house, I was seized by the throat from behind, and swung round by the man who had hold of me. One of the other men struck me a blow over the left side of the head. I observed a third man, and he appeared to be keeping watch about two or three yards from the persons who were striking me. The man then struck me over the chest and ribs, and I held up my hand to protect my heart, as the blows were so severe. I received a very severe blow over my hand, and it fell• It appeared to be with some instrument. One of my eyes was filled with blood. The man who was pressing my throat said to the one who was striking me, `Hit him lower,' and he did so, and hit me below the ribs, on the left side. I then became insensible ; but when I came to my senses I was laid on the causeway or footpath. I felt in my pocket to see if my purse was there, but it was gone. It contained £2 or £3 in silver. A silver lever hunting watch which I had in my fob, and which was fastened by a leather guard, was also gone. Part of the guard was left round my neck. A gold pin which I had in my cravat, and in which was set a large amethyst, was also gone. I heard some one coming before I was attacked, and I moved on to the kerbstone to let them pass. The silver hunting watch case, silver dial, and plate now produced I can identify as portions of the watch stolen from me. I had the watch for upwards of 20 years, and I have no doubt as to the parts produced belonging to it. I was taken home by three or four gentle men who heard me groaning on the ground. There was a new building close by, and some one was working on it. I was attended by Mr. Skinner for about a fortnight or three weeks. I was a week in bed. I suffered much pain about the throat and body. When I swallow anything now my throat hurts me, and I have a pain in my left side near the heart. I cannot articulate plainly yet." Mr. Skinner, surgeon, said Mr. Burnby was as nearly murdered as it was possible for him to be and yet live. The injury to the heart, produced by the violent blow, was very seri ous. The most important witness in the case was a working watchmaker named Martin Cooper, to whom Hall and Carr offered the stolen property. He said—" A very short time after the robbery, on the same night, the pri .soner Carr and Edward Hall came into my house. Hall produced a silver lever hunting watch and a gold pin, with an amethyst stone. The stone was a large one, as if it was intended for a brooch. Hall asked me what I thought about the watch. I looked at it, and asked him what he wanted for it. He said, ' Would 30s. be too much ?" and I said ' No' Carr laid the pin down on the board. While I was engaged in examining the watch Carr said to me, 'By Christ, be careful, for there's 20 years and a good flogging for it.' Hall asked me what I could do with the pin, and I said I could do nothing with it, and he told me to break it up. Hall asked me to take the name out of the watch while he stayed, and I did so. I took both the num ber and name out. It was a name of some one in Lincoln, and I think the number was 298. The name was either Wilson or Williams, lam not sure which. The place was Lincoln. (Mr. Burnby.—The name was Richard Wilson, Lincoln.) I broke the pin up, except the stone. I did not then pay the 305., and they went away, leaving the watch and pin with me. On the next night (Christmas Eve), Hall, Carr, Smith, and Skinner came to my house several times from between 6 and 7 o'clock and 11, Carr and Hall came together ; then Smith came by himself, and so did Skinner. They wore altogether at my house about 11 o'clock. At that time Hall asked me for the money for the watch and pin. I had some money in my hand, and he said, ' Can you pay me for that watch and pin ?' I had been out previously to get some money, and when I went out I think Smith was not there. He was in , when I came back. I paid Hall the 30s. in the presence of Carr and Skinner." The witness went on to say that he gave the watch back to the men, and it was afterwards re stored to him from a garden in the Abbeydale-road, outside of the town. He informed the police, and they took the steps which led to the apprehension of the prisoners. The case was adjourned until Thursday for corroborative evi dence. The Debate on Langiewicz in the Austrian Reiclisrath The petition of Langiewicz was brought before the I Ireichsrath by the oommittee on the 23d January. The committee strongly urged the liberation of the late Dictator of Poland. The Ministerof Police, Baron Mecsery, disputed the right of the Swiss Government to require the extradition of Langiewicz. Very extraordinary conse quences would follow the recognition of such a right. Any Government, by simply naturalising an individual, might influence his relations towards the Government on whose territory he resides, although such Government may have claims upon him. The point was, that Switzerland should take upon herself the duties which Austria has to fulfil re garding Langiewicz; and Switzerland had not accepted this obligation. He declared, in conclusion, that it was the ardent wish of the Government to liberate Langiewicz as soon as possible from the measures taken against him, and that the Government hoped it would soon be in a condition to do so; but it reserved to itself the liberty of determin ing the suitability of the time for so doing. Dr. Muhlfeld thought the Swiss Government had a per fect right to make the demand in question. There was nothing in the Austrian law against Langiewicz being made a Swiss citizen, even though he may never have been in Switzerland. This was not disputed by the Minister of Police, and he (the speaker) was thereby strengthened in his conviction that the conduct of the Government in this matter had been mainly influenced by consideration for a certain Power. If the case had been that of a naturalised Englishman, he was sure the Government would never have so treated a demand from Great Britain for the extra dition of its subject. The case of Langiewicz was that of all the Poles confined in Austria. The insurrection, which had been the cause of their confinement, had ceased; their confinement should therefore also cease; it being, moreover, contrary to the Austrian law. If any of them had committed any offence against Austria, they should be tried and punished, but it was contrary to law to keep them in confinement without trial. This arbitrary and exceptional measure affected the laws for the protection of personal liberty and the feeling of right among the citizens of the monarchy. He moved therefore, " That the petition be referred to the Government, which is strongly urged to liberate M. Langiewicz, and put a stop to the confinement of the other Poles." The Minister of Police said that the Government had already determined to carry out the objects of the above motion, and that steps were being taken with that view. At present the only questicfn was the provision of funds to enable the Poles to leave the country. Dr. Muhlfleld withdrew his motion after this statement. Dr. Bechbauer said that Langiewicz was imprisoned like a common felon. No one was permitted acess VI him, and the door of his cell was guarded by two gaolers. Even in the time of Metternich, persons who were confined in the country for political reasons were not kept in prison. Why had Langiewicz not be tried ? It was evident that he had been confined without trial because he was guiltless of any offence punishable by the Austrian law. - In Austria, political offences are only penal when committed on Aus trian territory or directed against. Austria. The only Power which could demand his extradition by treaty was Prussia; but Prussia can no longer do so, for he is now a Swiss sub ject. Prussia had allowed this, and freed him from his duties as a Prussian subject. Prussia had done this under Bismark--that same Prussia which had been condemned for its convention with Russia, at a time when Austria had joined in supporting the five points. Austria would now be condemned by all Europe if she persisted in detaining Langiewicz, and thereby continuing a course of action which is only possible in a State under the government of the police. • The Minister of Police denied that the conduct of tha t Government had been influenced by with another Power. It was simply the result of a y imposed by the law of nations. he petition com- Dr. van der Strass, the reporter of t any special agreein du e t n mittee, said the committee attached no imp question of Langiewicz's nationality. be liberated, for Prussian or a Swiss subject, b e to ou gh w t idch are binding in his detention is opposed to the laws cebetobethae to as the causes which pro- Austria, and particularly personal freedom, more espec infringement' of the theyla had ceased. for I t V h il e :rtt p h r ae o r tection of duced the temporary t. ally e that Petitio of M.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Nottingham to promote the cause of Parliamentary Reform was held in the Exchange Room, Nottingham, on Friday evening. The Mayor occupied the chair, and there were present, among others, Sir R. Clifton and Mr. Paget (the borough members). The large room was crammed to suffocation. The Rev. J. R. LIT= proposed--" That the present state of Parliamentary representation, ex cluding as it does a large majority of the people from a share of the Government, is most unjust and unsatisfactory." The resolution was seconded and unanimously carried. _ ______ Mr. HEATH proposed the second resolUtion— " That further delay in remedying this injustice, after it has been repeatedly admitted in speeches from the Throne and by the leaders of both parties, would be derogatory to the character of Parliament and destructive of public morality." This resolution was seconded by the Rev. P. W. CLAYDEN and carried unanimously. Mr. PAGET and Sir P. CLIFTON both spoke strongly in favour of the movement. The proceedings were of a perfectly unanimous character. ROCHDALE. On Thursday evening a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Rochdale presided over by the Mayor adoption( (Mr. Tat ham of a) petitionw a held from in the Public H non-electors a 1 l , f of the fth e borough to the House of Commons " for the speedy p a ssing of such a measure of reform as will give the rights of citizenship to the great body of the indus trial classes." Several aldermen and town coun cillors accompanied the mayor upon the platform. The MAYOR briefly introduced the proceedings. Mr. W. SHEPHERD, a non - elector, moved—' " That this meeting is of opinion that it is the duty of the present House of Commons to pass a measure of reform which shall admit the great body of the working classes of this country to the electoral franchise ; and further, that the meeting views with just indignation the conduct of Lord Pahnerston's Government in failing to redeem the pledge it gave upon accession to office, to use its full influence to carry a Reform Bill." Mr. W. COOPER seconded the resolution. Mr. Alderman HEALEY supported the resolution.. Mr. E. ASHWORTH (a town councillor) made a long and eloquent speech, which he began by say ing he was invited to this meeting by the non electors' committee, and he wished it to be dis tinctly understood that this was a non-electors' meeting, organised and arranged for by them selves, and that all the speakers were in vited by them alone, without any intimation. stimulus, or suggestion whatever from the electoral body. (Cheers.) It appeared as if, by an almost magnetic influence, the great masses of the people were once more burning with something like that old enthusiasm which had carried them and the middle classes on to so many victories in the past, and was the best earnest of triumph in this cause for the future. He thought that working men had a peculiar cause for disgust with the present Government and the present Parliament. What must we think of the man who made them a promise to obtain a certain end, and, when he had gained that end neither regarded them nor his promise? Would any other assembly in the country have so trifled with the language of the Queen ? Had the Royal speeches been addressed elsewhere would they not have been responded to years ago by a large and just measure of reform ? But it was not so. There was something waited for. What was it ? For 32 years the people had been petitioning for reform. But it was rightly said by Earl Russell's eldest son—(loud cheers) — that the delay arose from that indisposition to self reform which was universal in human nature. The House of Commons would never reform itself ; it must be reformed by the great mass of the people, whose servant it ought to be. And he believed they were prepared to test the matter at the next elec tion. (Cheers.) The history of the last Reform Act had been calmly and cleverly written by a f ellow -townsman—(cheers) —and surely some respect might be claimed for the words of a clergyman, the son of the vicar of Rochdale--(cheers)—when, speaking in Conservative circles of that great mea sure, he said that in some places it positively im paired the direct influence of the working classes by restricting the suffrage where it had been nearly universal. That was a strong argument for supplementing the Reform Act now by not merely extending, but restoring the franchise of the working classes. He (Mr. Ashworth) repudi ated the language of those who had the audacity to say the people had earned or merited by their con duct that franchise which was their birthright. What had been the conduct of the electoral body itself during the crisis of distress which had tested the magnanimity and the loyalty of the unenfran chised operatives ? Had all the possessors of votes kept clean hands and resisted temptation, though it was not backed by a dying wife and famishing children ? Had not scores and hundreds of the electoral body despised her Majesty's proclamation, violated the laws—(cheers)—and for the sake of the pelf they might gain and fatten upon, sought to weld faster and firmer the bonds of slaves in another land ? (Great cheering.) It had been said that the working classes, in the day of their prosperity, waxed fat and kicked—that they were insolent in their demands ; and if they were the only classes who were ever insolent in prosperity, he should certainly be inclined to disfranchise every insolent working man. (Laughter and cheers.) But that was no argument for the disfranchisement of the men who were not insolent. (Cheers.) He retorted upon those who excluded them this accusation of insolence, and he concluded by pointing to America in her strife as a vindication of the greatness of democracy. That strife was not the result of democracy, but of its union with an aristocratic element, which could not fail to produce trouble. It was as certain as Divine truth itself that democracy would never pass away, would never fail—(cheers)—and if it made mistakes, those belonged to no class or section of the people, they were unhappily the common heritage of man kind. (Great cheering.) The resolution was also supported by Mr. G. T. KEMP, and was carried unanimously. The adoption of the petition was spoken Mr. J. Petre, jun.; Mr. T. Cheethaw, gr. L. Hartley, and Mr. Councillor Robinson. upon by Literary Gossip, The only literary gossip of the we ek, .....--4—_—___ beyond a discussion of the announcements made last Saturday, has been con cerning an authors' volunteer corps—a sort of literary companion to the artists' corps, which has been established for some time.

Within the compass of a single volume the writer has hit off a circle of varied characters, all true to nature, some true to the highest nature, and she has entangled them in a story which keeps in suspense till its knot is happily and gracefully resolved, while at the same time a pathetic interest is sustained by an act of which it would be difficult to analyse the secret. It is a choice gift to be able thus to render human na ture so truly, to penetrate its depths with such a searching sagacity, and to illuminate them with a radiance so emi nently the writer's own. Even if tried by the standard of the Archbishop of York, we should expect that even he would pronounce Christian's Mistake' a novel without a fault."
