(Before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt.) IN RE 11. CARPENTER.-A MESSENGER IN THE HOUSE OP LORDS. This bankrupt was described as a messenger in the Crown-office of the House of Lords, and to-day he came up for first meeting and proof of debts. A list of creditors already filed show debts to the amount of £1,250, and the bankrupt ascribes his failure to having become security for a lady and gentleman in whose interests he had been ap pointed executor to a will. IN RE COLONEL WAITGII. This bankrupt, who has been before the Court upon so many occasions, was described as of 7, Gloucester-terrace, Camden-town, now a prisoner for debt. To-day was appointed for the first meeting, and a preliminary state ment filed in Court shows debts about £2,600. Amongst the creditors are Lord Garvagh, who is one of the detain ing creditors. _ _ (Before Registrar Winslow.) IN RE CHARLES VAUGHAN PUGH.-ANOTHER RETIRED OFFICER IN COURT. This bankrupt was described as late of Worthing, Sussex, formerly a captain in the 90th Regiment of her Majesty's Light Infantry, and to-day ho came up to pass his last examination, and for the order of discharge. No detailed accounts are filed, but the bankrupt states that upon a rough guess his debts are £40,000, and he has no assets. He was when he incurred the debts in receipt of an income of £3,500 per annum, from an estate in Wales; but some Chancery proceedings are going on and matters remain in abeyance, the property in question being under the control at present of trustees. The case was adjourned. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) SHERIFFS' OFFICES AND PROTECTED BANKRUPTS.- A NICE POINT.-ROBINSON V. HOLMES. This was a case in which the plaintiff, a sheriff's officer, sought to recover his fee for capturing a debtor, defendant being an attorney who had employed plaintiff to execute the writ. Plaintiff proved that he effected the capture, and a witness, who appeared for the defendant, stated that the person who was arrested was a bankrupt who had his protection from the Court of Bankruptcy in his pocket at the time of his capture. Plaintiff urged that this clearly did not affect his rights. Ho was specifically employed by the defendant to perform a certain thing, and he had done it. It was not for a sheriff's officer to ask his prisoner if he was protected from arrest. His Honour pointed out that in this instance it would appear that the debtor was actually protected against arrest. Plaintiff—This is the first time my fee has ever been disputed in such a case. His Honour—l confess that the point is a very nice one ; and it requires some reflection. Plaintiff—l should just wish to call your honour's atten• tion to the case of Lloyd v. Hamson. There the sheriff's officer was sued for arresting a man who was protected, and the Court has denied that defendant was not liable. His Honour—Well, that is certainly a very good argu ment in support of your case, but the point requires consi deration, and I will give judgment on a future day. MARKETS—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The arrivals of English beasts fresh up to our market to day was very moderate. The supply of foreign beasts was good, and the trade ruled inactive at about Monday's currency.

ITALIAN BRIGANDAGE..—NAPLES, May 18.—The Pungolo publishes the following intelligence from Eboli, dated the 16th inst. :—" The day before yesterday, about midday, Giardullo's band attacked a carriage in which were two Englishmen and their wives, who were returning, by the road from Battipaglia to Pesto, from a visit to the ruins at the place last mentioned. After making them alight from the carriage the ladies were robbed of everything ♦aluable about them, and were then left free to continue their journey towards Eboli, but their husbands wore led away as hostages. The ladies arrived soon after at Eboli, a prey to the deepest grief and terror, and implored assistance from the authorities, in order to liberate The captives. Besides this rich booty, another no less impor tant prize fell into the hands of the brigands in the persons of two wealthy planters, who were captured shortly after the Englishmen above mentioned, and carried away with them to the mountains. As soon as the authorities became acquainted with the occurrence they sent. out heavy de tachments of troops, carabineers, and of the national guard in every direction, and after diligent perquisitions in all parts of the neighbourhood the armed force succeeded in coming up with the brigands after the lapse of 24 hours. In their flight the desperadoes left behind them three of their prisoners, among whom was one of the Englishmen. At present the authorities are making exertions to cut off the retreat of the brigands, and they hope shortly to be able to do so, and at the same time to set at liberty two other gentlemen who have not been heard of for eight days past. Signor Landolfa Colonna, captain of the staff of the sixth great military department, who at the time of the oc currence happened to be visiting at the residence of Signor Andrea Colonna, a senator, is also taking an active part in the search, having placed himself at the head of the Pia cenza Hussars, who were quarteredthere. His efforts have, however, as yet been fruitless, although he has gone over a large portion of territory.—Reuter's Express. The Sunderland Herald states that hundreds of salmon smelt were on Monday and Tuesday found dead in the river Tyne, close to Hawks and Crawshay's ironworks. It is supposed that whilst on their way to sea by the last flood they were poisoned by the chemical properties of the water flowing into the Tyne from Allhu sen's works. A VORACIOUS FISH.—A Queensland paper says a fish called a grouper was caught off that coast. It was 7 feet long, 6 feet in circumference at the thickest part, and its head weighed 801bs. When opened there were found in its stomach two broken bottles, a quart pot, a preserved milk tin, seven medium-sized crabs, a piece of earthenware triangular in shape and 3 inches in length encrusted with oyster shells, a sheep's head, some mutton and beef bones, and some loose oyster shells. The spine 1 of a skate was imbedded in the grouper's liver, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY IN GROSVENOR-STREET.-Wm. Green, about 18 years of age, described 'as " a shoemaker, address refused," and who has several times been charged at this court, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the house of Mr. George Lane Fox, No. 43, Grosvenor-street, and stealing a time-piece, writing-desk, and table-cloth. Henry Woodruff, servant to Mr. George Lane Fox, of No. 43, Grosvenor-street, said—Last night, at 10 minutes to 12 o'clock, I had occasion to go into the front hall, and on looking out of the door I saw the prisoner coming up the area steps. Directly the prisoner saw me he put down a bundle, containing the property produced. I asked him his business down tho area, and he said that he had dropped a sixpence down, and had gone down to looklor it. I asked him what he had got in the bundle, but he made no reply. The prisoner then got over the area-gate.. I held him till a constable came, and then gave him into . custody. • Louisa 'Essington, housekeeper to Mr. George Lane Fox —The articles produced —a timepiece, desk, and table cover—are my property, and were taken from the house keeper's room. I believe the window was shut. John Atkinson, the page—l shut the window at 8 o clock, but could not say whether it was bolted. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the first witness said the area gate was locked and the window found open. Police-constable Edwat d Rowlett, 145 C—At 12 last night the prisoner was given into my custody by the th st witness. I found a bundle in the area. I took the prisoner into the house, and on opening the bundle I found it to contain the articles produced. I found that the prisoner had got over the area gate and opened the housekeeper's room window from the outside. The prisoner—l have no questions to ask the witnesses, Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner give any address ? Witness—lie refused it. Prisoner—l wish you would settle tho matter at once. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall do no such thing. It is a burglary. Inspector Bowles, who watched the case, asked for a remand, the prisoner being known to the police, and there having been other cases of a similar kind of late. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. A DRUNKEN ScHoormAsTEn.=-Mr. Henry Bell, a respect able tradesman, dwelling in Leicester-street, Poplar, ap plied to Mr. Partridge for a summons against Samuel Bartholomew Cooper, a schoolmaster, of Brunswick-street, Poplar, for unnecessary cruelty to his son Joseph Bell, aged 13 years, who was before Mr. Paget yesterday after noon, but could not appear this morning, Mr. Bell handed to the magistrate a certificate, of which die following is a copy : 7 _ _ " I hereby certify that Master Joseph Bell is now under my care, suffering from severe contusions on head, back, and hand, and it would be unfit for him to leave the house at present. M. BROWNFIELD, Surgeon. " 171, East India-road, May 25, 1865." Mr. Bell said the schoolmaster was drunk yesterday morning, and flogged many of his pupils, breaking a battle dore over the head of one, and beating his son with a ruler. The surgeon, Mr. Brownfield, was afraid his son's skull was fractured. Tho boy was very ill indeed, and he could not bring him out to-day. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, mid the applicant with his son, applied to Mr. Paget yesterday afternoon, and the magistrate, after examining the boy, advised Mr. Bell to bring the parents of some of the other boys with him this morning, and bring their children who had been unneces sarily flogged at the same time. Mr. Bell said the parents of other boys had taken their sons away from the school, and they were shipwrights or otherwise engaged in the ship yards, and could not attend. His boy had received four blows on the head, two on the shoulder, and there were two great weals on the right hand. The large finger was contused, and the boy could not bend it. He was afraid the life of his boy was in danger. Mr. Partridge said the certificate of Mr. Brownfield did not say so, and that he hoped the boy would recover. The case was one demanding inquiry. He would advise Mr. Bell to let the matter rest until the boy recovered, and then bring him to that court with the eldest boys who saw the alleged unnecessary infliction, Mr. Bell said that many parents had taken their children from the school of the drunken master. Mr. Partridge, after reading Mr. Brownfield's certificate alone, said —Bring your son hero when he is well enough, with the eldest boys who saw this punishment by the schoolmaster. TRICKS OF BBNEFT SOCIETIES.--A HARD CASE.—Thomas Reave, a baker, and a member of the " Loyal United Sons of the Wheatsheaf Bakers' Friendly Society," held at the Hermit public-house, Bedford-square, Stepney, applied to Mr. Partridge for redress. He had been a member of the society four years, and the contributions were 3s. 2d. per month. He left that sum when due with the landlady, who forgot to pay it over to the secretary. At the end of the succeeding month ho again offerd 3s. 2d., the monthly con tribution, and it was refused. He was told he was no longer a member. The landlady of the Hermit explained the mistake, and he offered 6s. 4d., two months' contributions, which was refused, and told to go about his business. Mr. Partridge looked at the printed rules of the Loyal United Sons, and said there was a regulation ordering all disputes to bo submitted to arbitration. He (the magistrate) had no authority to dispose of the matter. He thought the case, as stated by the applicant, to be a very hard one indeed, and his money ought to be accepted and his name inserted in the books, with full rights of membership. MARYLEBONE. THE BILLETING NUISANCE.—VIOLENT ASSAULTS BY A MILITIAMAN.—WiIIiam Kelly, a member of the corps of the Hampstead Militia, was charged with being drink anti dis orderly, and committing several assaults. James Harley, potman at the Oxford Arms, corner of James-street, High-street, Camden-town, said—Last night just as we were closing the house, the prisoner, who is billeted upon the landlord (Mr. Newport), came in very drunk. He was asked to go up to bed, which, after knocking me about, he did. Hearing a noise in his room, master went up with me, and we saw him with the win dow open, throwing things out. Master wished him to shut the window and go to bed. Prisoner took up a chair, and striking my master on the head knocked him down. William Peatrey, barman at the same house—He has been billeted upon us for three weeks, and has been a nuisance to the whole neighbourhood, always coming home drunk and riotous. Whe he returned last night he was told to be quiet and go to bed. He took hold of the potman and nearly strangled him and struck him three times. After that we got him to his bedroom. A noise was afterwards heard, and on going into the room where prisoner was he was seen throwing water and other things upon a crowd of about 50 people who had collected about the house through his conduct. When remonstrated with by Mr. Newport he took up a chair and knocked him down, He was exceedingly violent. Charles Barber, 147 S, was called to take the prisoner into Custody. He was very drunk. Mr. Newport seemed to be much injured about the head. In default of payment of a fine of 20s. he was sentenced to 21 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. THE KEY AND THE BIBLE.—On Thursday. a strange application was made to the sitting magistrates at North Shields. A middle-aged woman, living in Milburn place, North Shields, applied for a summons against a per son for defaming her daughter's character. She said that a short time ago some person in the neighbourhood had lost a brooch and it could not be found, and some person abmit the place was thought to have stolen it, but the culprit could not be traced. However, after considerable consultation, it was decided that the neighbours should assemble and solve the mystery by having recourse to the antiquated test of the "key and the Bible." This " holy and infallible" method of discovering the perpetrator of guilt is as follows :—A piece of string is tied round the Bible, the book is then laid on a table, and a key is spun round on the top of the Bible, and while the key is " going its rounds" some one in the company completes the charm by repeating a verse of Holy Writ by way of guiding the movements of the revolving key. The party to whom the end of the key points when it has stopped is considered to be the guilty one. In the experi ment referred to the applicant's daughter. was the indivi dual who was taken notice of by the " knowing" key, and as the mother considered the character of her daughter slandered by the conduct of the key she sought redress at the hands of the Bench. The magistrates said they could do nothing to assist the old woman beyond advising her to cease putting the Bible and the key to such silly uses.— Netecastle Chronicle. ,ENGLISH NEWS IN FRANCE. —The London corre spondent of the solemn Memorial Diplomatique has discovered that the English are becoming more pleasure loving than formerly—beginning to frequent theatres, balls and concerts, in place of concentrating all their attention, as before, on politics and le sport. In the same letter the correspondent reveals another wonderful discovery he has made. After speaking of the numerous literary circles, lec ture rooms, Polytechnic, and other institutions in London, he informs us that among the institutions established here with a view of elevating the taste and forming the mind, the "Peckham Debating Society" deserves particular men tion. Our readers will be glad to learn that this notable institution, thus dragged from its obscurity and brought under their notice, is simply "a gathering of honest citi zens, who meet from time to time to discuss either a histo rical point or one of the great questions of the day." The other day, it seems, the subject of discussion was the equity of fines imposed by courts of justice, when an " hon. gen tleman, M. E. Ballantine," opposed such fines, because en abling the rich to escape - punishment, while the poor got punished ; and a " Mr. Hanley" defended the propriety of inflicting fines in some cases, adducing the case of Captain Colborne, who, we are told, had been arrested after a duel, provoked by an attack upon his honour. After other speeches pro and con., a majority of four declared that the administration of justice, iu respect of fines, is often at fault. See, says the wise Memorial, what amusements are prac tised at Peckham, one of the most charming suburbs of Londan, under the prestilenoY of George Barton, Esq. The papers relating to the resignation of Mr. Wilde as Registrar of the Bankruptcy Court at Leeds were issued on Tuesday. On the 6th of April last year, Mr. Wilde's atten tion was called, by direction of the Lord Chancellor, to the fact that the accounts of the official assignees and messen gers of his court wore said to be certified by Mr. Commis sioner Ayrton, when in point of fact Mr. Ayrton had not seen them. This, Mr. Wilde was told, was " a very grave offence," and he was asked to give immediate explanation. Three days after Mr. Wilde writes :—" I am sorry to hear the Lord Chancellor thinks that I have committed a very grave offence in signing the document to which your letter alludes. I signed it ; the gentleman (Mr. Carrick) present ing it to me, representing that it had been submitted to, and approved of, by Mr. Commissioner Ayrton ; and a statement now before me, dated the Bth of April, signed by Mr. Commissioner Ayrton, shows that all the items in the account signed by me were on that day approved and allowed by the Commissioner, except the charge for petty disburse ments, which aro now under the bill audited by me." Mr. Wilde was called upon to send up the document ho referred to, which he did, and it bore at the foot of the accounts the words, "I hereby allow the above account. W. S. Ayrton, Commissioner, April, 1862." Mr. Wilde hereupon received the following letter from the Court of Bankruptcy:—" Mr. Carrick, one of the official assignees, asserts that you owe him .£l3l, and Mr. Needell, one of the messengers, that you owe him £25, all for money borrowed. I am directed by the Lord Chancellor to ask you whether these statements are true." Mr. Wilde returned the following answer—" In 1857 I met with a heavy loss through the fraud of two friend. On going to Paris in great distress of mind, it seems I had from Mr. Needell £25, for which I gave him an I 0 U, which fact I had forgotten till I saw Mr. Needell this morning. I have paid him the same sum this morning by cheque. In the same year I was obliged to get my bankers to make me a heavy advance, which, with the as-. sistance of the advance of my friend Mr. Carrick, of £l3l, enabled me to provide against the loss above alluded to ; but, as I presume from your letter the Chancellor thinks that I ought not to have sought for such friendly assist ance, being a registrar of the court of which Mr. Carsick was one of the official assignees, I have repaid him also." Four reports made to the Lord Chancellor by Mr. Commis sioner Ayrton and Mr. Harding were then forwarded to Mr. Wilde, and he was asked to reply to the charges they appeared to involve, which it was said wore these three : —" 1. That accounts which ought to have been submitted to and allowed by your Commissioners were certified by you as having been submitted to and sanctioned by him, without his having ever seen such accounts ; and that thereby large sums had been improperly allowed to the official assignees. 2. That you have been in the habit of taxing the bills of the messengers, without calling for the production of the vouchers for the sums alleged to have been paid by them ; and 3. That you had borrowed money both from the official assignees and messengers of the court, and thereby destroyed your independence and efficiency." On the 24th of May Mr. Wilde was called to put in his answer within a week, under penalty of being called on to show cause in open court why he should not be dismissed. This he did on the 30th. In reply to the first charge against him, he said, "I did not certify that accounts were submitted to and approved of by Mr. Com missioner Ayrton. I certify only to the fact beyond dis pute, 'that the reasonable office expenses had been previ ously submitted to and sanctioned by Mr. Commissioner Ayrton.' I certify as I did because the official assignee told me that the Commissioner had sanctioned and approved the items of ' reasonable office expenses,' whose honour and integrity had been unimpeached for the eleven years _ _ in I had acted with him the same court ; and he placed before me a document conclusively proving the fact of 'reasonable office expenses,' dated Bth April, 1862, signed by Mr. Commissioner Ayrton, and a similar document was made and signed by the senior Commissioner as a scale to regulate future 'reasonable office expenses." Knowing Mr. Ayrton's watchfulness, Mr. Wilde con cluded that as he had not objected to the procedure adopted, he was satisfied with it. As to the second charge, Mr. Wilde admitted that he placed great con fidence in the messenger, but " I did," he says,. " occa sionally ask for vouchers when I considered that they could and should be produced." "As to the third charge," said Mr. Wilde, " that of borrowing money both of the offi cial assignee and the messenger, and thereby destroying my independence and efficiency, I am exceedingly sorry in this respect that I have done acts calling down upon me the Chancellor's censure. The £25 I had of the messenger, it seems, many years ago ; I had it when called in haste to Paris. I purposed repaying it on my return ; I did not see him for some time afterwards, and it escaped my memory, otherwise I should not have allowed it to remain unpaid. As for the loan from Mr. Carrick, I had it some years ago, to enable me to meet the exigencies of a sudden loss, and I did not know that our official connection necessarily de barred us from exercising the usual privileges of friendship.' In July, Mr. Wilde petitioned that he might be allowed to retire with a pension equal to two-thirds of his salary, put ting in a certificate that he was suffering from impaired sight, and the Lord Chancellor made an order that the petitioner should receive the retiring allowance prayed for The Late Shocking Death of Steeple Jack, An inquest was held in tho grand jury room, in Garrick street, Wolverhampton, before Mr. T. M. Phillips, borough coroner, on tho body of John M'Cann, better known as " Steeple Jack," aged 37 years, who resided in Dudley street, Bilston, and who died in the South Staffordshire Hospital at half-past two on Monday morning. Thomas Hacking stated that he was a repairer of chim neys, and lived in Bilston. He worked for the deceased, who was a repairer of chimneys, like himself. On Wednesday week they went to work at the Wednesbury Oak Iron Works, belonging to Messrs. Williams, where the deceased had engaged to repair the top of a chimney. It was an engine stack they were repairing, about 100 feet high. Wit- ness assisted the deceased to fly a kite and put the ropes over the chimney. They fixed a piece of timber as a seat to one end of the ropes for the purpose of the deceased being drawn up to the top of the chimney. A 561 b. weight was then attached to the other end of the rope at the bottom Before the seat was drawn up a pulley was attached to the top by a line. Everything was ready for deceased to go up on Wednesday, but he did not because the chimney was too hot. On Saturday witness went up to take the mea surement of the angle iron. The rope was securely tied ; four men could not pull it away. The deceased helped to pull witness up on the Saturday, and was also on the top of the stack himself. On Sunday witness went up about 11 o'clock, and fixed a portion of the scaffolding. The de ceased went up in a state of intoxication before the scaffold was finished. When the deceased was up witness came down. The deceased remained up about an hour and then came down. The deceased could come down himself, be cause he was heavier than the balance weight. When he came down they went into a publichouse called the Mitre ; this was about half-past 12 o'clock. The deceased called for a glass of whisky, but was too drunk to drink it. They remained in the house until half-past 2. The deceased had his dinner while in the house. The deceased then went to the top of the chimney again, and afterwards pulled wit ness up. They remained at the top of the chimney till about 4 o'clock doing the preliminary work. They then came down, and deceased, when about nine yards from the bottom, slipped down the rope. They then went again to the publichouse where they had a gallon of ale be tween four of them, and the deceased had a glass of rum and was smoking. They left the publichouse about half past 8, and went on to the roof of the mill. The deceased wanted to go up, but witness and another man prevented him for about an hour. After the other man had gone deceased shoved witness on one side and pulled himself up by the ropes. When he got to the top of the chimney he lay down on the scaffolding with his legs partially hanging down. Witness called to him several times, but ho would not answer, and he thought he was asleep. The deceased did not dance on the chimney. About half-past 10 the de ceased called to witness, and he then saw him stand upon the stack. He walked forward on to the casting, which projects over the top of the chimney about seven inches. Whilst in this position he seemed to put his foot too for ward and fell down through the roof of the mill, a distance o about 80ft. from the top of the stack. An alarm was given and Thos. Lovatt came to the assistance of witness, and they found the deceased covered with slates from the broken roof. They got him out as quickly as they could. The de ceased's leg was broken and he was badly hurt about the body. Two surgeons were sent for, and they ordered the deceased to be taken to the South Staffordshire Hospital, where he arrived about half-past 12 o'clock. Thomas Lovett said he was employed at the Messrs. Williams's works, as a mill furnace man. On Sunday he saw the deceased on the stack several times. He was told a little before half-past 10 that the deceased was again on the top, and witness said he would go and see. Ho went and heard the last witness call to the deceased. The de ceased said he was coming, and immediately fell down through the roof of the mill. A nurse from the hospital stated that deceased was ad mitted there about half-past 12 o'clock on Monday morn ing. He was badly hurt. The bone was protruding from one leg, and the other was cut. There were several cuts and bruises about his head and body, and a cut in his throat. He was very much intoxicated. The jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." It seems that deceased was in the habit of taking stimulants when employed at work of this kind, as he alleged, to " give him nerve." The Courrier de la Dronze gives some information as to the progress of silkworm breeding in that depart ment and the Ardeche. Xinch anxiety prevails among the silk breeders in those departments with respect to the forthcoming crop. The silkworms bred from Japanese seed give great hcfes, but the others produced from foreign seed cause some uneasiness. Owing to the want of sufficient seed the numbor of silkworms is much less than usual, and there is a vast quantity of mulberry leaves, for which it is feared there will be no demand. RAMSGATE HARBOUR.—The annual accounts pre sented to Parliament in relation to this "Royal Harbour," under the Harbours Act of 1861, show for 1864 receipts amounting to £8,267, and payments for cost of maintenance amounting, with some small superannuation allowances, to X 110531.

SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ARCHBISHOP WISEMAN- . PUBLIC MEETING THIS DAY. This afternoon a public meeting of Roman Catholic noblemen and gentlemen was :held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of providing a monument to the memory of the late Cardinal Wiseman, titular Archbishop of Westminster. The large " Queen's Concert Room," in which the meet ing was held, was filled, most of the Roman Catholic no bility and gentry being present. The Most Rev. Dr. Manning was called to the chair. Amongst those present were Lord Petre, Viscount Campden, Viscount Fielding, Dr. Gilbert, Sir C. Clifford, Canon O'Neal, Pope Hennessy, M.P., Sir G. Bowyer, M.P., Canon Morris, the Marchionesss of Londonderry, Sir Pyers Mostyn, the Very ReT. Canon Rock, Welby Pugin, Esq., &c., &c. The Archbishop of WESTMINSTER elect said he thanked the meeting for the kind manner in which:they had accepted the nomination of Lord Petre, seconded by the Hon. P. Mostyn, that he should have the happiness of presiding. He knew when a former meeting took place a delicate feeling prompted those who were present to suggest that it would be 'better to wait until a new Archbishop of Westminster should be elected, lest any proposal might be adopted which might not receive the approval of the new arch bishop. (Hear, hear.) It was now his pleasure to give the Catholic people of England an assurance on that subject. It had pleased the Holy See to appoint him to fill the see of Westminster—(hear, hear) — and he could say that there was not an object that could give him greater pleasure than the erection of the proposed memorial cathedral—(cheers)--connected as it would be with the memory of one of the kindest, the dearest, and best friends he ever had. (Cheers.) He would, without further occupying their time, call upon Mr. Patterson to give the meeting an outline or narrative of what had al ready been done, and how matters stood at the present time. The Rev. Mr. PATTERSON', in relating the causes that had led to the present meeting, said that 12 months ago a paper was circulated amongst the friends of Cardinal Wise man with a view of presenting that eminent man with a testimonial of regard for his personal and public virtues on the occasion of twenty-five years of his episcopal consecration. (Cheers.) It was subsequently thought that the first suggestion—that of a picture—should take a larger form, and a service of church plate was proposed as the form of testimonial, and that design would have been carried out, but the event which Providence decreed separated his friends and admirers from him for ever. A committee, as soon as possible after the death of his Eminence, was formed, and a meeting was afterwards held at the Stafford Club, at which resolutions for building a cathedral as a memorial was unanimously agreed to. After the application was made to Rome for advice, and at this moment, although nothing could be done to forward the object of the memorial until after the selec tion of the late cardinal's successor as Archbishop of West minster, yet his correspondent assured him that that point had nearly been settled, 'and that he had great pleasure in announcing that the person appointed would heartily second the object in view. (Cheers.) That as sumptionlhad been verified—(cheers);; and although they had been actively engaged for the last five or six weeks, yet the subscriptions to aid in carrying out the proposal amounted to £ll,OOO. (Cheers.) That, of course, would be but a small portion of the amount required, but he felt assured that with earnestness and per severance success was certain. He had letters froth Lord E. Howard, Lord Arundel of Wardour, Lord C. Thynne, Mr. Wright, of Kelvedon, and the Rector of May nooth expressing their regret at not being able to attend the meeting ; and also letters from America, India, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and many other places, all promising cordial support. Count Montalembert also had sent stat ing his inability to attend, but expressing his deepest sym pathy with the object in view. He had within the last few days received a letter from Vienna, :containing a con tribution of £l,OOO towards the proposal, but he could not tell them the name of the generous donor. This was a world-wide sympathy with them, and success could be but certain. It had been thoughtby some that the erection of a cathedral would entail such a call upon charity that other laudable objects would suffer, but after the fullest considera tion, it was finally resolved that the cathedral should be the object decided on, and that it should be such an one as would be a standing advertisement of the existence of the Roman Catholic Church in this country. (Cheers.) They had only to appeal to the world in the name of Cardinal Wise man, and success must follow. All that now was wanted to accomplish the task was energy and well-directed work. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then called upon Mr. J. POPE HENNESSY, who on rising was received with loud cheers, said he had to move the following resolution : " That their lordships the Bishops of the Province, and the most eminent, most rev., and the right rev. prelates in Ire land, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, North and South America, India and the British Colonies, and elsewhere, be invited to co-operate as vice-presidents of this work with the provost and chap ter of the cathedral church, and the noblemen and gentle men and members of Parliament present at this meeting, at home and abroad." The hon. gentleman, in moving the resolution, said he believed it was true what had been said of Cardinal Wiseman, that he was not of one country, but of all nations, that his labours had never been confined to one district, but that they had been cosmopolitan. The memorial proposed to be erected to the late Archbishop combined both greatness and simplicity. While he was always teaching, the late Cardinal was always the intelligent student. The late Cardinal was never actuated either by compromise or cowardice. He had nothing to be ashamed of in his religion, and the cathedral they were about to erect would be a proof of the faith the clergy had in him throughout the world. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAGSHAW, Q.C., in seconding the resolution, said in the first place, before he proceeded to acquit himself of the duty that had been placed upon him, he had to explain to them that had not Justice Shee had to attend the Ford Chancellor's levee he most certainly would have been present. (Hear.) He could not but say with what pleasure he attended there that day, because he cherished with the utmost affection the memory of the late Cardinal Wiseman. It had been wisely said that the Car dinal was not a man of one particular country—ho was a man of the world. (Cheers.) He was one of the kindest and best of men, and he sincerely believed that the Al- Mighty never created a more amiable man. (Cheers.) He begged cordially to second the resolution, and in doing so promised, on the part of the Catholics of Wales, that as much as could would be raised in that poor country, for poor it was. (Cheers.) The Rev. CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. BLAKE, M.P. for Waterford, moved the fourth reso lution : —" That subscriptions for the object proposed by the meeting be at once entered into." He should not, after the very excellent address they had heard, trespass long upon their patience, but he must be permitted to say that he felt certain that his country would well respond to the proposal to erect a metropolitan cathedral, and he felt cer tain the fears that other charities would suffer from the great exertions that would have to be made for the memo rial were entirely groundless, and that no other work of usefulness would suffer. (Cheers.) The committee to be appointed to carry out the wish of the meeting would, he felt certain, be worthy of the memory of the great man whose name it was sought to perpetuate. (Cheers.) Sir G. BpwYzu said it had been the good fortune of the former speakers to perform the agreeable part of the proceedings, but it had come to his and his hon. friend's share to do the other, but not less important, part of the meeting, viz., the announcing of the opening of the sub scription lists. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) After all that had been said, he would not occupy them with any length ened observations in eulogy of the late Cardinal Arch bishop, because all knew his goodness, and all cherished his memory in their hearts. (Cheers.) There had been some objection to the proposed memorial cathedral, and some had objected to subscribe because they had already done so, and wore in the habit of subscribing to schools, convents, and chapels ; but they would not, he felt certain, be unprepared for a little opposition at the outset of their labours. (Cheers.) He felt certain that other churches would not suffer by the proposal. With respect to the object now before them all could give something, and if all gave that something the cathedral would b o erected. (Cheers.) If s people did not resolve to do g reat things, great h things would never be done. All present wanted sometinggreat to done, and the best thing w as to pass the resolutions (Loud do it—(cheers) —to strike w hile the iron was hot. cheers.) u t the resolution to t he meet d unanimously. ing, and decided it carried IlliThe rev. Chairman t hen p The Rev. Mr. PATTERSON said that all who wished to take advantage of t he suggestions of the last speaker, viz., to strike whilst the iron was hot, would find the anvil pre for Waterford, moved the next reso pared for them at the doors, (Loud laughter.) 31Th•Pa; the Archbishop Elect (chairman), Howard, Lord- Petre (trustees), Viscount lLu Lord Edward — E i sm z ° . Campden, Canon O'Neal, Sir C. Clifford (treasurers) Dr. Gilbert (vice-chairman), and the Rev. J. Pattersen (secre tary), be the committee for carrying out the wishes of the meeting. (Cheers.) Father GALLWEY seconded the resolution. Ho said all they wanted now was the funds to erect the cathedral. That they were all agreed upon. There would be quite time enough for discussion when style and position were to be decided on. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. The Secretary (Mr. Paterson) read a list of subscriptions up to the present time :—Anonymous, £2,000 ; Viscount Campden, £l,OOO ; V. Fielding, £l,OOO ; E. Bailey, £5OO : Bailey. 4500 ; E. Firth, 4500 ; W. Sills, £200; B. Dely, £2OO ; Rev. A. Paul, £lOO ; J. M'Oabe, £lOO ; Mostyn Sir Pyers, £2OO ; Sergt. Bellases, £lOO ; T. Ward, £lOO ; Sir Chas.

MosTirx moved, and the Very Rev. Canon Rocx, D.D., seconded a vote of thanks to the Archbishop Elect, for presiding over them that day. (Cheers.) The meeting agreed to the proposal unanimously, and gave three vociferous and hearty cheers for the nenly appointed Archbishop. Dr. IaNNING, in returning thanks, said he should do very ill if he was to detain them after the length of time they had been already in that room, but he should do still worse if be did not give free utterance to the fulness of his heart on the matter before them. (Cheers.) He thought there should bo a cathedral erected in London ; and although they could not expect to equal Notre Dam's, yet they could erect a building in which their holy religion could be properly celebrated. Such an edifice they had not at present. He had tl.tought of the objections to the plant of those who proposed, schools, but he felt that the clergy and laity must exert themselves to the utmost in the cause of education, and that, as the erection of the cathedral was a transient act, to be done but once, it would be well to set about it in earnest, and he begged to assure every one present that the memorial, dedicated as it was to the memory of one of the most learned, kindest, and best of men, should have his most earnest and best support. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. TAT TERSALL S'—This Evening, DERBY. 9to 2 agst Gladiateur (taken and offered) 11 to 2 agst Breads..
