THIS DAY.—Morning, 7h. sm. —Afternoon, 7h. 38m. To-Monatow.-Morning, Bh. 12m.—Afternoon, Bh. 50m. , - Ino LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 29, 1866. The Maldon c onsery • ative Club celebrated its anniversary dinner on Tuesday, and a large party assembled. Mr. C.' D u vNE, M.P., one of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty, presided. The Chairman, in proposing the Array, said that it h a d been thought at one time that th's toast w as espe cially dear to the Conservative party, because they were considered to favour a profuse expenditure, and likewise that their policy was to promote wars abroad to direct public attention " from home poli tics and hated reforms." In contradiction of these absurd reports, he said that it was a very general impression nowadays that " the principle of fo reign policy laid down and acted upon by Lord STANLEY formed a better guarantee for the preser vation of peace than that spirit of petulant inter- s~, ,~ ~: !~ Miss ference and of scolding, at all events upon paper, which was the leading characteristic of the Foreign Office reign of Lord RUSSELL." Very true were the remarks of the chairman concerning the neces sity that now exists for a more efficient organisation of the military and naval services themselves. Lord E. CECIL, M.P., in acknowledging the compliment paid to the Conservative members present, made some remarks on the state of politics. The last session was a severe one, and if the leaders had been anxious, the " rank and file had sat through many a long and wearisome debate far into the small hours of the night." The noble lord spoke very much to ! the point when he addressed himself to the much vexed question of Reform, and vindicated his party from the charge of not being willing or able to intro duce Reform. The late Government certainly did not figure very favourably in his description, for he said that, instead of settling the question of Reform, they "settled their own existence, and had left nothing behind them but a reputation for gross mismanagement, and an excuse for their more violent partisans to disturb the country throughout the * autumn." After having heard a great deal of " tall talk," as the Americans call it, they had ex pected that which Mr. DISRAELI had called the " pilgrimages of passion " might be over, but instead of that the agitators have gone on from bad to worse. " All the vials of the great agita tor's wrath have been poured upon the devoted heads of the Conservative party, and of every re spectable person in the community. The great Birmingham prophet had, like the seer of old, been taken to the Reform League, not from mountain to mountain, but from town to town ;" but instead of cursing his enemies, the noble lord said, in the opinion of every unprejudiced person, he blessed them. There is a good deal worthy of notice in the re futations met with in this speech of the fallacies of Mr. BRIGHT, and those who have been deluded into believing what the lion. member for Birmingham has declaimed about so much had better study them care fully. in the first place, he showed that Mr. BRIGHT erred in making ont that the artisans of the large towns, however much it might be desirable to ad mit them to the large towns, constituted the people of England ; and, next, he was wrong in declaring that " everything good came from the large towns, and everything bad and corrupt from the small boroughs and the counties." This is very correct; and in nothing does Mr. BRIGHT show himself so unfit for the task he assigns himself of settling the political destinies of the country, and of regulating its representation. A bitter spirit and a prejudicial judgment are not good attributes or characteristics of a statesman or lawgiver, and it requires very little knowledge or experience on the part of those who read his discourses to find out that Mr. BRIGHT is too imbued with his own narrow notions and peculiar views to take a correct estimate of people or things. The noble lord quoted some declarations which bad been made about the corruption that took place at elections, and showed that the large boroughs were not always so con. spicuous for merit from the smaller ones. A Maldon, for instance, it was seen that the average expenditure of each candidate at the last general election was one-fourth that of each candidate ai Glasgow, and one-sixth of that incurred by each in 'Westminster. There is certainly enough, and more than enough, for the Government to do, as was shown by the noble lord, besides the Reform question. There is the state of Ireland, the re organisation of the army and navy, the administra tion of the poor-laws, and other matters of cone quence. The Chairman, in proposing prosperity to the Maldon Conservative Club, declared that there was nothing "in Conservative principles, or in the past policy of the Conservative party, to prevent them dealing with the whole question of Reform in a comprehensive spirit, or to prevent their bringing in a Reform Bill at once more genuinely Liberal in its details and more in accordance with the ancient lines of the Constitu- tion than the bill of last session." IVe quite agree with the principle of this observation, but the diffi- tufty will be how will the other side act. Unless a very different course is pursued to that adopted in 1831 there can be no hope of a settlement of this long-debated matter of Reform. Mr. BRIGHT has much to answer for in persisting in his efforts to keep up the agitation on the subject, and if the next Session passes away without a satisfac tory solution of the inquiry, we shall certainly debtor his account with the failure. M. Du CASE gave his friends some very good advice about the Malt Tax. Ile said that circumstances were again& ;hem just now, and if they persisted to seek for the repeal they might injure the cause in the long run, besides losing their object. in a short speech he made, very pro Mr. EARLE perly denounced the absurd notion o Mr. MILL on the subject; he argued on the ground of the probable exhaustion of the coal fields that the malt tax ought to be maintained in in order to pay off the national debt. This is a very false species of reasoning, and we should always suspect that such a proposition was likelyto be made when he who suggested the arrangement did not care for the charge proposed. On the whole, this affair at Maldon, seemed to go on very satisfactorily, and the general views expressed by the s p e akers were of an elevated tone and patriotic spirit. The Edinburgh, from New York on the 17th, brings us the welcome, though somewhat unexpected, intelligence that " political affairs are quiet." Pos sibly both parties are becoming weary of the ug and are inclined t o rest upon their oars and r g e l l e a , x their exertions. T he counsels of mode s struggle, mode rate men may have influenced th e more turbulent impressionto which have gained groun d the ultra-R a di ca l s extremitiest s h p a ir t it tL andthe were pushing the political differences of the day were most prejudicial to those peaceable and com mercial interests upon which often tehpele depend.progress and prosperity of the mass of It is true that the temporary suspension of hostili ties may be due to another cause. mThuex Sauter," and both sides may be "Reculer pour mieux and the leaders may be profiting by thelull tbeforetheir the storm to perfect thei r plans, to concentrate forces, and organise their party before the opening of the Congressional campaign. The task on both sides is no easy one. The Democrats have un doubtedly been worsted in the late elections, and instead of facing their enemies with considerably increased power they will show diminished forces, and have therefore to decide how far they may safely yield to their opponents upon what points they should make a resolute, if ineffectual, resistance, and by what course they are most likely to gain sup port out of doors. The Radicals, on the other hand, have to think how far they mayturn their newly acquired strength to account, how far they may push, their advantage without raising a domestic storm, and renewing that open conflict cf parties which no rational American can wish to bring upon his country. There is still, as there was even in the height of the war, a strong party in the North who were opposed to harsh treatment of the South. Again, the unsettled condition in which it is appa rently the desire and intention of the Radicals to keep the rich and fertile States of the South is dia- THE SUN, - LO_NIiON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1366. resolute a stand last year will, if resuscitated, inevitably be carried over his veto, and others of a kindred or p_rhaps more extensive character will certainly be introduced. The PRESIDENT has to consider what attitude he shall assume in this disadvantageous position. His enlightened and statesmanlike policy of re-admitting the South to political equality without imposing too burdensome conditions on them has been defeated by his less foreseeing countrymen. Mr. JOHNSON saw that the South, crushed by defeat, and exhausted by their long and arduous struggle, with their health destroyed, their best men exiled, dead, or keeping in retirement, and suffering from the sud den change in the condition of the slaves, would be thankful when the first mortification was over to be re-admitted to that association with the Northern States which they once despised. It will take many years before the South fully recovers the effects of the war, and during that time President JOHNSON would make it a source of strength instead of a perpetual weakness to the North. However impoverished and spirit-broken there is still suffi cient vitality and power in the South to make its people formidable to the North if they are in cited to fresh rebellion by a foreign foe, or if they are provoked to desperation by the North itself. The Union has had the good fortune to pos sess in the hour of its intoxicating triumph a states man who could sec all this clearly, and the people of the North will consequently be without excuse if they deliberately allow a party of extreme and dangerous politicians to plunge them in fresh difficulties. Mr. JOHNSON has an opportunity of showing a kindness to the South which its people will warmly appreciate, and which will be most consonant to his own feelings of justice as well as of mercy. Two members of the Mississippi Commission have waited upon him to present a letter from Governor HUMPHREY, asking for the release of JEFFERSON DAVIS on bail. Mr. Hum- PHREY says that those whom he represents do no seek to screen Mr. DAVIS from trial, but that his imprisonment is not necessary to secure his presence when wanted, but that his continued incarceration threatens to be fatal, and they therefore request that he may be released either on bail or on parole. The PRESIDENT received the Commissioners courteously, and promised to consider their appli cation. We hope he will take the advantage of this opportunity for performing an act which no one can reasonably pretend will be dangerous to the interests of the State. Two Fenians have been sentenced to be hanged at Toronto. It is currently reported, however, that they will not be executed, nor will their sentences be commuted, but that they will be held as hostages for the good behaviour of their friends. The Mexican news is still uncertain. General SHEIL\IAN goes to Mexico, it is said, as the fore runner of an army of occupation, and SHERIDAN is to join him. There is unusual activity in forward- ing supplies to the Federal troops on the Rio Grande, which confirms this intelligence. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The last number of the National Gazette of Berlin received in Paris gives the news that the Prussian Cabinet has arranged with the Govern ments forming part of the Confederation of the North of Germany for the meeting of the Reichstag on the Ist of February. The preliminary delibera tions relative to Parliament, which are to take place between the Plenipotentiaries of the various Go vernments of Northern Germany, will commence on the 15th of December. The Moniteur states that the information re ceived by private- telegram from Japan leads to the belief that the successor of the Taikoun will be favourable to the extension of commerce. The civil war is terminated. The Prince of Choisn himself dictated the conditions of peace, which are believed to have been accepted. That personage will retain possession of the Strait of Simonosaki. An order of the Minister of State has been issued nominating the jury to decide upon the admission of works of art to the Great Exhibition. Count Nieuwerkerke, Senator, Superintendent of the Fine Arts, member of the Imperial Commission, is appointed President of the Jury for the admission of works of art. Some of the members were chosen by the Administration. The others are selected by artists of the various branches of art, painters, sculptors, and architects. In case of any vacancy taking place, it will be filled up by the artists who had the greatest number of votes at the scrutiny. The Moniteur says that, according to a telegraphic despatch from Dresden, the Saxon Chamber of Deputies has adopted without modifications the project of law for the increase of taxes for the year 1867. The votes of credit demanded by the Government to provide the expenses connected with the Great Exhibition were also agreed to. The following is also from the Moniteur :—" Ac cording to the last news we have received from Abyssinia the Emperor Theodore had left Znglie for Dabra Tabor, which, from its elevated position, is less exposed to the ravages of the cholera. Golesia, the most powerful of his adversaries, seemed to wish to avoid any encounter, and instead of en deavouring to consolidate his power in the Tigre he has retreated to the Haowzene. Under these circumstances an early invasion of the Tigre is pro bable, and it is very much feared by the people, who have not paid their taxes for four years." One tmightthe eYesterday reorganisationu placeppo s thee that to live o t country where people may live four years w i t h out paying any taxes must be a very agreeable f in.e commission ar my appointedagain assembled o consider a t Compiegne. The Emperor presided. General Allard, President of the Section of War and Marine, read some propositions in reference to changes in both the services. It is believed that these recom mendations would be favourably received by the commission. They will be subsequently discussed by the Council of State. The Moniteur still refrains from making any s i gn in regard to the alleged abdication of the Emperor Maximilian, a fact which increases the doubt preva lent in Paris as to its truth. The Italian papers are still much . occupied with speculation upon the subject of the mission of M. Vegezzi to the Pope. Numerous versions of the object of this mission are in circulation. M. Vegezzi has not yet left Florence, and, according to the best information, he will not depart for Rome until there is a certainty that his Holiness is likely to give a favourable consideration to the arrangements which he is likely to propose. One of the Paris papers asserts that there is nothing political in the propositions to be submitted by M. Vegezzi, but that they relate exclusively to ecclesiastical matters. I have seen a letter from Rome which states a fact easily to be believed, that M. Vegezzi will not be received by the Pope if the question of the cessa- metrically opposed to the interests of a large class in the North who have commercial dealings with the Southern producers. The Radicals, though they may succeed for a time, have to consider all the adverse influences ; besides, the Southerners them selves, who can scarcely be expected to endure with patience their continued exclusion from politi cal rights. As for the PRESIDENT, his position is the most difficult of all. The threat of impeach ment is not likely to frighten him, though it is quite within the limits of probability that the Radicals may fulfil it if provoked, or if they think it to be their interest to produce a sensation. Mr. Joirx- SON has little reason to believe that he can either carry or defeat any measure against the will and pleasure of the dominant party in Congress. The unconstitutional measures against which he made so 1 tion of his temporal power should be ever so slightly touched upon. Vast numbers of spurious coins have lately been in circulation 20f., 10f., and lf. pieces, some with the effigy of the Emperor Napoleon and others with that of Victor Emmanuel. They are admirably executed, so much so that it is difficult to distin guish them from the genuine coins. They are executed and gilt by the Ruoby process, used for forks and spoons. The police, after much trouble, have found out the manufactory, which is at No. 104, Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere. They found an extensive assortment of moulds and tools used in the fabrication. The head of the guilty under taking and many of his accomplices have been arrested. A night or two ago an attempt at murder and suicide was made at a public ball in the Rue de Levis. A young man of 18, Louis-Victor-Geutil, who had for some time courted a blachisseuse of 20, named Pauline Dabonneville, had a quarrel with her, and she said she would not allow him to see her home. She also refused to dance with him, upon which he took a pistol from his pocket and shot her in the head. She was taken to the Beaujou hospital, and is not expected to survive. When asked to say what was his motive for the crime he replied that the refusal of the girl to receive his addresses had deprived him of reason. In his pocket was a phial which had contained poison which be had swallowed. Emetics were however administered, and he has nearly recovered. A Spanish astronomer expresses his belief that the phenomenon of the shooting stars presages more severe cold than has been experienced during the present century, and that the cold will be accom panied by violent winds and abundance of snow. Spain, like other countries, is occupied with war like preparations and experiments. A letter from Madrid states that a squadron, composed exclusively of iron-clad vessels, will shortly put to sea for ex perimental purposes. The Empress of Russia, is expected at Nice. Her Majesty will be accompanied by her daughter-in law Princess Dagmar and her husband. 'The Princess seeks the re-establishment of her health from the beautiful climate of Nice. Some very un favourable reports are prevalent in Paris relative to the health of the newly-married Princess. It is also reported that the Princess llelena is about to repair to Nice. The Scientific Congress of France, which was prevented from meeting at Amiens in consequence of the cholera, will assemble at Aix-en-Provence on the 12th of December. Archbishop Manning on the Temporal Power. __o,-- On Tuesday night, at the anniversary dinner of the Benevolent Society for the Relief of the Aged and Infirm Poor—the oldest Roman Catholic charit able association in London—Archbishop Manning presided. In proposing the first toast, " The Health of the Sovereign Pontiff Pope Pius 1X.," he said that he proposed the health of his Holiness in these words because a Sovereign the Pope was, and a Sovereign he would be. He remembered when on the last occasion they met together he mentioned to them a saying of hi s H o liness which bore intrinsic evidence of its credibility. The saying was one uttered by his Holiness when he had been just told of the Convention, which in point of duration expired in September last, and would expire by its imminent execution next week. He replied, " A great deal of water will run down the Tiber into the sea before two years are over." It appeared to him that this prophecy had been fully fulfilled in the tumultuous stream of events that had since passed over every country in the Old World and in the New, and which had completely effaced the situa- tion of two years ago. He felt that there was no country in the world, at least in the Christian world, which did not stand with regard to the Holy See in a different position from that which it occupied two years ago. There now were dangers at home and abroad impending over every nation that made men feel that the temporal power of the Pope—hate it as they might —was the keyston of a certain civil and Christian order upon which depended the happiness an 1 order of all Christian States. He was perfectly cmfident the sentiment was to be found in France —upon the throne of that country ; it was to be found in Austria ; it was still more powerful in Prussia after its recent victories ; it was to be found in England, with Ireland by her side. He wished to mention another saying attributed, and he be lieved correctly attributed, to his Holiness. It was said that the other day a person of great authority ' came to his holiness and told him that the time for the departure of the French army was near at hand, and that their departure would be followed by events of great seriousness. "In fact," he said, in conclusion, " Apres ntoi le deluge." The Holy Father smiled and said, " From Holy Nlrrit we know there will never be another deluge, therefore I am not afraid." This saying well represented his Holiness's calm, unwavering trust and confidence, not in Princes of the earth, for in them he put no confidence, but in that higher Power on whose protection he has re posed during a Pontificate of 20 years of trial and glory. This holy confidence, his charity to his enemies, his clemency, his truth, the stainless purity impressed all who came in of hiscontactmotives, so withthe I d l e o ely l p yFather that the other day when a veteran statesman, a man m i xe d up i n European politics for half a century, was leaving the presence of his Holiness, he said to those near him, " This is indeed the Sovereign of Sovereigns." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, as was also the health of the Queen, proposed by his Grace immediately afterwards. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ADZE RICA.

She landed 69 passengers, and proceeded at 8 p.m. for Liverpool. (Ilia Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (Morning). Political affairs are quiet. Washington despatches state that General Sher man and Minister Campbell will stop at Havannah, en route for Vera Cruz. General Sheridan will pro. bably meet them at Havannah. It is rumoured at New Orleans that Genera Sherman goes to Mexico as the forerunner of an army of occupation. There is unusual activity in forwarding supplies and equipments to the Federal troops on the Rio Grande. General Ortega has determined to remain at Brazos. The Governor of Durango and Genera Sedgwick were to have a consultation with him on .he 9th of November. Intelligence from Toronto announces that the Fenian, Daniel Whelan, has been sentenced to be hanged at Toronto on the 13th of December. It is asserted that the sentences pronounced against the Fenians will not be commuted, but suspended, the prisoners being held as hostages for the good beha viour of their friends. Mr. Darcy Magee has made a speech asserting that the Fenians will not be hanged. John Quinn, formerly a soldier of the Confederate army, was also found guilty, and sen tenced to be hanged on the 12th of December. The New York Chamber of Commerce has enter tained Mr. Cyrus Field at a grand " cable banquet" at the Metropolitan Hotel. Admiral Farragut, General Meade, and other eminent persons were present. Letters of congratulation were read from President Johnson, Gen. Grant, and the members of the Cabinet. The health of Queen Victoria was given and enthusiastically responded to. Mr. Cyrus Field proposed as a toast, " England and America clasping hands across the sea. May this firm grasp be a pledge of friendship to all generations !" The toast was enthusiastically cheered. Messrs. Hillyer and Lowry, of the Mississippi Commission, have called upon the President in 're lation to Jefferson Davis, and presented him with a letter from Governor Humphrey, who says that those whom he represents do riot seek to screen Davis from a trial ; that his imprisonment is not necessary to secure his presence when desired for trial ; that his continued incarceration threatens fatal results to his health ; and that the ends of justice will be reached by admitting him to bail or parole, which they severally ask. The documents seem to assume that there will be no trial. The President received the commission courteously, and informed them that he would give their application due consideration. The Secretary of the Treasury is determined to contract the currency as fast as the law of Con gress will allow. There are now only about $386,000,000 of Government legal tenders in cir culation. Messrs. Hinds and Woods, of the Old Board of Baltimore Police Commissioners, have formally surrendered everything to the new Commissioners, who have fully entered on the duties at the Com missioners'-office.

Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the Ist inst. an nounces that the Emperor Maximilian had left to return to the capital. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 29. The semi-official Vienna Journal of to-day says : " The rumours current of a concentration of troops in Galicia are entirely fictitious : no occasion for any such measure being adopted exists." The provisional Diet of Lower Austria yesterday adopted, by 44 against 8 votes, the address proposed b ly the committee of the Diet. The Governmen , commissioner then declared that the position of affairs was not correctly represented in the address He also particularly stated that no division existed among members of the Cabinet, and the Convoca tion of the Reichsrath, as demanded by the Diet, would be equivalent to breaking off the negotiation with Hungary. THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. ATHENS, Nov. 26. Advices received here from Candia announce that on the 20th inst. Mustapha Pacha attacked a convent occupied by Coroneos, at Rethymnos. Coroneos repulsed the Turkish troops after a san guinaty contest. Mustapha Pacha subsequently returned to Apocoronon. FRANCE. BOURSE, Nov. 28.—Two o'clock.—The tendency the market is uncertain, and whilst some securi- ties have improved others have declined. French Threes are doing at 69f. 65c., with no variation, but Italian Fives have advanced 10c., to 56f. 25c., and Credit Mobilier Shares have again recovered the price of 600 f., being quoted at 602 f. 50c., with an advance of 6f. 25c., whereas Comptoir d'Es compte have fallen 6f. 25c., to 886 f. 25c. Railway Shares are lower, and Lyons are particularly weak; these Shares are offered at 900 f., a fall of sf. From London Consols are again telegraphed with a loss of 4.

This morning a fog of such great density en veloped the metropolis that the use,of gas became general for the transaction of business. At twelve o'clock at noon the darkness was most remarkable, and the greatest danger was encountered by all whose avocations called them out of doors. The carriage traffic in the great thoroughfares was nearly suspended, as it was latterly impossible to distinguish objects a few yards in advance. The steamboats on the 1 hames ce,tsed running, and the accidents that occurred below bridge by collisions of barges and other kinds of craft were very numerous. Several persons in their endeavours to cross the road at the time we mention were knocked down and greatly injured, despite the exertions of the police. The scene at the foot of Ludgate-hill, from the crowds of persons who feared to attempt to cross the road, was re markable and the same may apply to those great arteries of traffic leading to the different railway stations. Such a densefog has not occurred in Lon don since the memorable one, on a Saturday, about two years ago. AN EDITOR'S DAY.—I arrive at nine o'clock. On ono table are the letters which the first post has already brought, on another the manuscripts. I sit in an arm chair, before my desk, at a third. On an average I read and answer daily about three dozen letters ; I read every day several manuscripts. What some of these letters, what most of these manuscripts are, words are powerless to describe. There is a belief common to the British mind that the editor of a magazine, besides accepting or reject ing articles offered for his magazine, can distribute patron age and shower pecuniary aid on all who apply to him. He is supposed to be at once and together a Crcesue, a lord mayor, and a minister of grace and justice. Some of the letters, though unutterably silly, are touching from the trust and confidence in blindness and sympathy which they reveal. Great sorrow, like great happiness, often teaches an Arcadian simplicity. But these aro the mino rity. The majority are written by persons whose alpha and omega. is their own puerile personality. And the manuscripts! To a Rochefoucauld, how much would their mere outsides betray ! Desultory, untidy, careless persons send unstitched manuscripts, without addresses, or with false ones. Defiant of spelling, or subversive of grammar, with neither beginning, middle, nor end, the melancholy spectacle, the pathetic record of their contents, would make angels weep.—Once a Week. SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER.—Troop Sergeant-Major Fox, musketry instructor 4th Royal Irish Dragoons, a detachment of which corps is at present stationed at the Curragh Camp, committed suicide on Monday morning by blowing out his brains with a rifle.

LITERATURE, A Book About Lawyers. By John Cordy Jeaffre son, Barrister-at-Law, author of a " Book about Doctors." Two vols. Hurst and Blackett. These two very delightful gossiping volumes contain a vast amount of pleasant anecdote and interesting information. Mr.*Jeaffreson his exer cised considerable industry in the collection, and has displayed both taste and judgment in the ar rangement of his materials. Lawyers of every grade and every possible shade of charac ter, from the student below the bar to the Lord Chancellor upon the woolsack, lawyers of ancient times and lawyers of our own day, here pass under review, and are subject to the closest inspec tion. Moreover,, we have " the Loves of the Lawyers" and the. Homes of the Lawyers, and their Amuse ments, "Music," " Amateur Theatricals," "Military Affairs," " Money," and even their " Costume and Toilet," introduced each in its turn to an interest ing scrutiny. The anecdotes of celebrated individuals, which are scattered throughout the chapters, are, many of them, most amusing. Here, for example, is a pleasant illustration of Lord Eldon as a sports man : SPORT AND EARNEST. A bad but eager sportsman, Lord Eldon used to blaze away at his partridges and pheasants with such uniform want of success that Lord Stowell had truth as well as humour on his side when he observed, "My brother has done much execution this shooting season; with his gun he has killed a great deal of time." Having ineffectually discharged two barrels at a covey of partridges, the Chan cellor was slowly walking to the gate of one of his En combo turnip-fields when a stranger of clerical garb and aspect hailed him from a distance, asking, " Where is Lord Eldon ?" Not anxious to declare himself to the witness of his ludicrously bad shot, the Chancellor answered eva sively, and with scant courtesy, "Not far off." Displeased with the tone of this curt reply, tho clergyman rejoined, " I wish you'd use your tongue to better purpose than you do your gun, and tell me civilly where I can find the Chan cellor." " Well," responded the sportsman, when he had slowly approached his questioner, "here you see the Chancellor—l am Lord Eldon." It was an untoward in troduction to the Chancellor for the strange clergyman who had travelled from the North of Lancashire to ask for the presentation to a vacant living. Partly out of humorous compassion for the applicant who had offered rude ness, if not insult, to the person whom ho was most anxious to propitiate; partly becauce on inquiry he ascertained the respectability of the applicant ; and partly because he wished to seal by kindness the lips of a man who could report on the authority of his own oyes that the best lawyer was also the worst shot in all England, Eldon gave the petitioner the desired preferment. "But now," the old Chancellor used to add in conclusion, when ever he told the story, " see the ingratitude of mankind. It Was not long before a large present of game reached me, with a letter from my new-made rector, purporting that he had sent it, because from what he had seen of my shoot ing he supposed I must be badly off for game. Think of turning upon me in this way, and wounding me in my tenderest point." Here is another agreeable glimpse of the same Chancellor : AN OLD PROMISE. The Chancellor was sitting in his study over a table of papers when a young and lovely girl—slightly rustic in her attire, slightly embarrassed by the novelty of her posi tion, but thoroughly in command of her wits —entered tho room and walked up to the lawyer's chair. "My dear," said the Chancellor, rising and bowing with the old world courtesy, " who are you ?" " Lord Eldon," answered the blushing maiden, "I am Bessie Bridge of Weobly, the daughter of the Vicar of • Weobly, and papa has sent me to remind you of a promise which you made him when I was a little baby, and you were a guest in his house on the occasion of your first election as member of Parliament for Weobly." A promise, my dear young lady ?" interposed the Chancellor, trying to recall how he had pledged himself. " Yes, Lord Eldon, a promise. You were standing over my cradle when papa said to you, Mr. Scott, promise me that if ever you are Lord Chancellor when my little girl is a poor clergyman's wife, you will give her husband a living;' and you answered, Mr. Bridge, my premise is not worth half-a crown, but I give it, wishing it were worth more.' " En thusiastically the Chancellor exclaimed, "You are quite right. I a.dmit the obligation. I remember all about it ;" and then, after a pause, archly surveying the dams 4 whose graces were the reverse of matronly, he added, "But surely the time for keeping my promise has not yet arrived ? You cannot be any one's wife at present ?', For a few seconds Bessie hesitated for an answer ; and then, with a blush and a ripple of silver laughter, she re plied, "No, but Ido so wish to be somebody's wife. lain engaged to a young el , m-gymau ; and there's a living in ILrtfurdsitire near my old home that has recently fallen vacant, and if you'll give it to Alfred, why then, Lord Eldon, we shall marry before the end of the year." Is there need to say that the Chancellor forthwith summoned his secretary, that the secretary forthwith made out the presentation to Bessie's lover, and that, having given the Chancellor a kiss of gratitude, Bessie made good speed back to Herefordshire, hugging the precious document the whole way home. A delightful instance of just retribution is thus re corded. A clergyman had applied to Lord Thur low for a living : TURNING THE TABLES. Sustained by Queen Charlotte's personal favour and intercession with Thurlow, the clergyman in question felt so sure of obtaining the valuable living which was the object of his ambition, that he regarded his interview with the Chancellor as a purely formal affair. "I have, sir," observed Lord Thurlow, " received a letter from the curate of the parish to which it is my intention to prefer you, and on inquiry I find him to be a very . worthy man. The father of a large family, and a priest who has laboured zealously in the parish for many years, he has written to me—not asking for the living, but modestly en treating me to ask the new rector to retain him as curate. Now, sir, you would oblige me by promising mo to employ the poor man in that capacity." "My lord," replied Queen Charlotte's protege, "it would give me great pleasure to oblige your lordship in this matter, but un fortunately I have arranged to take, a personal friend for my curate." His eyes flashing angrily, Thurlow answered, " Sir, I cannot force you to take this worthy man for your ' curate, but I can make him the rect or ; an d by he shall have the living, and be in a position to offer you the curacy." And forthwith, to the applicant's inexpressible surprise and chagrin, the Chancellor's words were carried out. We might add largely to these specimens of legal " Mirth," but we have said enough to demonstrate the very attractive character of this Book about Lawyers, in which our readers will find ample materials for occupying many a pleasant and not unprofitable hour. Archbishop Whateley. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--In the Times of the 27th inst. there was a long and well- written review of the recent Memoirs of this deceased prelate ; but the writer inaccurately stated that the prelate " was a half believer in ani mal magnetism," &c. His lordship believed in this science entirely, and he countenanced it by giving his support to the London Mesmeric Infirmary, of which useful society he was the President for many years. In the year 1836 he signed a certificate, in company with 80 other persons, which was sent to Government in favour of a plan for the fair exami nation of the science of phrenology. The Arch bishop may have been eccentric and rough in his manner, but he was an honest and an able man ; and I wish more of our priests of the Reformed Church were like him, so far as talent and inde pendence of thought are concerned.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, Cart. COOKE. London, Nov. 28, 1866. THE POACHER'S DOG.—A dog between a bulldog and a greyhound, or between a greyhound and a terrier, makes the best " lurcher" or poacher's dog. You may generally know a poacher's dog when you see him. He looks very sleepy in the daytime, and seems stupid for want of a good night's rest. Moreover, he seems slyer and subtler than other dogs. There is too much of the Jesuit about him to enable him to pass for an honest dog, and he sulkily does the bidding of his master with the air of one who must either do it or die. He is seldom in good spirits, and when on some rare occasion ho wags his tail, he does it as if he were ashamed of himself. Poachers' dogs are employed, not for catching game, but for running it into the nets. They are taught to scour a field in the darkest nights, and work all the hares and rabbits tdtvards the nets in the gateway, or on the cover sides. Sometimes they are put to watch their master's net, and will fly at anyone who attempts to interfere with it. They never give mouth under any circumstances, being too well trained to fall into that error. A Shropshire farmer once told us some rather good stories about a poacher's dog. He had been trained to run away from his master when called to approach him, and never to give mouth under any circumstances. Once upon a time this same poacher was brought before the ma gistrates, and the keepers tried to identify him by his dog. The animal was brought into court as the supposed pro perty of the poacher. This he stoutly denied. He was told to call the dog to him, which he did, and immediately the terrified dog scampered out of court.—The Argosy. diurt E.

It is the same cause only which has P re : t vented me from attending an y one o f those gre" meetings which at' Birmingham, Leeds, Manch es ' ter, Glasgow, and elsewhere have conclusively futed the charge of political indifference which li la been brought against the masses of the people. I shou have felt no difficulty in attending any one of thos e meetings. I think it right to take this o pportev it l e of saying so distinctly.
