Lord Joni , ' MANNERS has had a difficult task to perform, but he has acquitted himself in an admir able manner of his awkward duty. Y es t er d ay a clvatation waited upon his lordship from the com mittee who have the management of the T ra d e Re form Demonstration for Monday next. Mr. C. POTTER explained that they bad sought to obtain some private ground for the purpose of their pro posed meeting, but had failed in their effort, and they now desired his lordship in the name of the Government to allow them the use of the Green Park or Hyde Park for their object. This should not, however, prejudice the question as to right of meeting there ? but they pre ferred the request as a favour. The noble lord made a few remarks to the deputation, in which he said that ho was very glad to meet them, and to hear their temperate language. He then explained that there were great difficulties in the way of granting Hyde or Green Park, because they were within the limits of the metropolis, while Holyrood-park, which they had cited as an example, is outside the boundaries of Edinburgh. Lord JOHN MANNEns then declared that "the Government would not put the slightest obstacle in the way of the meeting being held, and they did not for a moment believe that the real working men of London, if allowed to meet in one of the parks, would be guilty of any disorderly conduct." This is exactly what every one said who knew anything of the matter last summer; it is not the working -classes who come into collision with the authorities at such a time, but the " roughs " of the town and their associates. The noble lord explained that it would be much more convenient if Primrose Hill were selected for the purpose of the meeting in question. In await ing the decision of the Government he reminded them that if the Government declined their rcquest of assembling in Green or Hyde Park, it would be from no " indisposition upon their parts to see the working classes expressing their opinions with respect to Parliamentary Reform, or on any other question in the fullest and freest manner, but from a paramount sense of the duty which they owed to the people of the metropolis." At a subsequent period Lord JoHN MANNERS wrote to the Committee to say that the Govern ment could not accede to the request of granting Hyde or Green Park, but that they would give any facility for the use of Primrose hill. It is not yet decided upon whether or not this place will be finally agreed upon, but in all probability it will. A deputation is to wait on Mr. WALPOLE for the purpose of settling about the swearing in of special constables and other matters. We hope that those who have the conduct of this affair will display caution and moderation, and so prove themselves to be worthy of the trust which has been reposed in them. At any rate, it will be seen by those most immediately concerned that no hindrance whatever has been put in their way by the Government, but that, on the contrary, they have done their utmost to promote the object of the meeting. It must be evident to all who consider the matter in a calm manner that either of the parks alluded to are not suitable for the purpose, and it would, indeed, be most likely to cause dis turbances if such inconvenient localities were fixed upon. As it is, we hope and expect that the meet ing will pass off in a manner creditable to all parties, and that the proceedings will be distinguished by that love of order so characteristic of Englishmen. It will be with regret that the public will learn that great disturbances are likely to take place in Ireland, and that active preparations are set afoot by the authorities in order to meet the emergencies that may arise. It is true that for some time past apprehensions have been entertained in certain quarters that great difficulties were likely to be met with, but no general reliance was placed in these surmises, and therefore this last account is sure to surprise many, and to cause annoyance and regret in all directions. It would seem as if nothing could put down the Fenians and stop their stratagems. It is said that those among them who have been permitted to go to America on parole have contrived to avoid discovery, and so got back again to the scene of their former mischievous in trigues. D ing last week also it was discovered that in Limerick there were a number of arms con cealed, and besides this some cases of muskets were stopped at Cork, and they were directed to a firm in that city. In consequence of the arrest of a stranger in Dublin, the authorities have in tercepted an immense sum of money, amount ing in fact to nearly a thousand pounds. Very considerable sums are indeed constantly arriving in order that arms may be bcught, and all accounts seem to agree as to the unsatisfactory state of things. Besides these circumstances referred to having come to light, great uneasiness has prevailed upon hearing that the troops in the garrison of Dublin have been under arms the last ten nights, and detachments of cavalry have been patrolling the suburbs. The police consider that there are many Irish Americans about fomenting strife and discord, and making preparations for future measures of a revolutionary tendency. The truth of this will soon appear, no doubt, and meanwhile, of course, great anxiety will be felt and considerable curiosity pre vail. It cannot be too much regretted that such a state of things should have supervened upon a condition which many believed to be one of comparative peace, if not of completely restored order. A significant proof of this unfavourable opinion entertained by the Irish authorities is furnished by the fact that a steamer arrived at Holyhead on Saturday night having 50 cases, containing 1,250 breech-loading rifles, for the members of the constabulary force. These were conveyed by a strong escort of mounted police to the depot at Phoenix Park. In the course of some evidence taken at the petty sessionswould awitness beitn a essdeposed that he had been as k e d man when STEPHENS arrived. Upon the arrival of a steamer at Drogheda, from Liverpool, two men were' discovered in the engine room who had lately come from New York. They were taken to prison, but it did not seem that much could be proved against them. city In the neighbourhood of Cork d the itself a great deal of uneasiness prevaanil police s. The stations are barricaded, and the military are dispersed through the country. It is said that one of the prisoners lately taken is a Head Centre. Three men were arrested yesterday as suspected Fenians. It is to be hoped that even now, when things have gone so far, the good sense and right feeling of the majority of Irishmen will triumph over the excitement of the thing before them, and the foolish idea that they have at last an opportunity of settling the vexed questions of national jealousy and wounded honour. If this mad attempt of Fenianism be persisted in a l'outrance, we all know what the consequence will be ; but while the law must take its course, there will be ample cause to lament the necessity of its enforcement. Surely experience ought to show the utter uselessness of these contests, and duty points most inflexibly to the adoption of another course. As for talking of revenge upon the English, it will be Ireland and the Irish who will suffer and have to pay the penalty. Some expressions made use of by Mr. HUGHES, M.P., in his recent speech to his constituents re specting Mr. CLAY'S Educational Franchise Bill, have called forth a disclaimer from that gentleman. Mr. HUGHES'S words implied, or seemed to imply, that he thought Mr. CLAY'S measure was brought forward mainly with a view of damaging the late Government. Mr. lIUGHEs denies that he had any intention of imputing party matters to Mr: CLAY himself, though he believes that some antagonists of , the defunct Reform Bill were glad to use it against that measure. Mr. Clay's letter to the member for Lambeth shows very clearly that his motion, as way curoltly believed at the time, was altogether independent of any other arrangements ; but we learn from it also a signi ficant fact, namely, that Mr. BRAND was the first public man to whom he communicated his design, and that this communication was made before any thing was known of the Government Bill. Mr. CLAY frankly states that he explained his scheme at length to Mr. BRAND, "in the hope that Lord RUSSELL or Mr. GLADSTONE might think it worth while to speak to me on the matter." This hope was plainly fruitless, though we cannot but think that the leaders of the late Administration would have done wisely to have taken a hint from Mr. CLAY. That gentleman has for many years past advocated an educational franchise, which affords a simple and practical test for separating those work ing men who are really competent to form an opinion on public affairs from their illiterate com panions, who can only vote at the bidding of their leaders. Mr. CLAY began preparing his bill so long ago as the spring of 1865, in disgust at finding the subject of an extension of the franchise practically shelved. Before the late Government had declared their intentions about Reform at all he had promised his constituents to bring his bill before Parliament early in the session of 1866, a pledge he faithfully fulfilled. Mr. CLAY has therefore some grounds for annoyance if an im pression exists that his was a mere partisan measure, instead of the deliberate action of a consistent re former, who " has supported every reform bill and every reform movement for many years past." The Government bill last session, which Mr. CLAY also supported, would, he believes, have satisfied thepublic with the addition of his educational franchise. lie always recommends his plan as a supplement to any other existing or adopted franchise, and we believe that applied in this manner it would be the most satisfactory test yet thought of for securing intelligent and constitutional electors. This year has been fruitful in legal changes, in dependent of the transitions attending a change of Ministry. Lord DERBY'S party is rich in judicial and forensic ability, and the honours which he has bestowed on his long-tried supporters have been acknowledged by the profession and the public to have been well deserved, and well bestowed, on legal as well as on political grounds. There are rumours of further changes, retirements, and pro motions, with more or less foundation ; but the great event of yesterday, the retirement of Lord Chief Justice ERLE from his high office, must have been remarkable at any time. The scene in the Court over which he has so long and so ably pre sided was of no slight interest. It was known that the Bar would not permit the last day of term to pass without some public acknowledgment of their respect for the Chief Justice, and their regret at his departure; and, accordingly, the Court of Com mon Pleas was thronged with members of the pro fession of every degree, the seats usually occupied by the attorneys being filled by Queen's Counsel, and even the Attorney-General and his colleagues finding it difficult to struggle within the_Bar. The galleries were thronged with spectators, and the tribute of respect thus paid to a faithful and dis tinguished public servant was evidently genuine and irrepressible. The eloquent address of the Attorney-General, who spoke in the name of his profession, whose members stood around him, was worthy of the occasion. "My Lord," said Sir WILLIAM BovILL after a few preliminary observa tions, " we all feel and desire to acknowledge that, under your presidency in this court, the great judi cial duty of reconciling, as far as may be, positive law with moral justice has been satisfied. The letter of the law that kills, and the mere discretion of the judge, which has been well said to be the law of the tyrant, have been alike kept in proper and due re spect. The Court of Common Pleas, under your presidency, my Lord, has attained the highest confidence of the suitor, the public, and the profession." To this high and well-merited tribute to the public services of the judge, the Attorney-General added the expression of gene ral regard for the kind and social qualities which adorn the private gentleman. The Lord Chief Justice, in acknowledging the compliment paid him, took the opportunity of testifying his high opinion of the general character of the Bar, not only as pos sessing advocates of eloquence and ability, but men of inflexible integrity. Such a testimony from a judge of Sir WILLIAM ERLE'S experience and in dependence must have been gratifying to the Bar as it will be satisfactory to the public, since from the leading members of the profession must the ranks of our judges be recruited, and to their hands, consequently, will be eventually com mitted the administration of those laws upon which the safety and liberties of the people are based. It is gratifying too to see a long career of official toil and arduous exertion close without a word of dis paraging comment or reproach, and if all his suc cessors cannot hope to equal Sir WILLIAm ERLE'S extended learning and administrative ability, they may yet set before them the example of like high mindedness, the integrity and the public spirit which have distinguished the retiring Chief Justine. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Moniteur is still silent in regard to the re ported abdication of the Emperor Maximilian. The Bulletin of the official paper says:— " The opening of the Diet of Gallicia took place on Nov. 19. The President, Prince Sapieha, after having expressed the desire to obtain for that part of the empire a more complete and independent ad ministration, on the part of the populations expressed their gratitude to the Emperor - for the intention manifested by his Imperial Majesty to consent as far as possible tp their legitimate wishes. The Go vernor General, Count Goluchowski, in his reply to this address, enlarged upon the necessity of the cor dial union of the province of Gallieia with the Aus trian Monarchy, in order to attain the happy result of a further development of the industry of the country. " The Croatian Diet was also opened on the 19th at Aram. In his speech to the Assembly the Presi dent expressed his hope and desire that the Croatian people would experience from the new situation of the Empire increased guarantees for its future pros perity. A private despatch from Hanover states that the officers of the army of Ring George, in pursu ance of an order of the day of the Prussian Gover nor-General, have the choice of obtaining their dis missal or of becoming incorporated with the Prussian army." The Constitutionnel says The Cabinet of Vienna continues its efforts to convince the public of the pacific feeling of M. de Beust. It is evidently with this view that the Vienna Gazette publishes correspondence from the Cologne Gazette, which gives a full, explanation of the policy which the Austrian Government intends to adopt. M. de Beust, according to the Prussian paper, is deter mined to act in strict conformity with the treaty of Prague in regard to the affairs of Germany. He expects, however, on the part of Prussia that she will not consider this treaty as a mere tem porary arrangement, but as a definition of Prus sian domination in Germany, and as a guarantee that Prussia does not intend or desire to extend her power over Southern Germany. If Prussia will respect the limits traced by the treaty—and the at titude she has assumed towards certain agitated spirits in the South strengthens the hope that she , E SUN, LONU ON, TUESDAY EVELSI. G, NOVEMBER 27 . 1366 will do so—Austria will do all in her power to esta blish really amicable relations with the great Power of Northern Germany. The correspondence from Pesth is more and more favourable to the idea of a cordial understanding with the Deak party. The uncertaintly about the Emperor Maximilian still exists. Nothing appears in the Moniteur upon the subject. According to the views of the Siecle, the question is whether he has really sailed for Eu rope. Did he stop at Orizaba, either spontaneously or after a conference with General Casteblau, or after having received despatches from Marshal Bazaine. These points will not bo satisfactorily ex plained until the arrival of the Seine, which was to leave Vera Cruz on the sth of November, and should arrive at Southampton on Wednesday or Thursday next. For months past a report has been prevalent that the Empress has desired to go to Rome. This re port is now renewed, and in some quarters it is believed;that her Majesty will shortly carry the in tention into effect. The Patric has some remarkable expressions upon the subject. It says :—" The Convention of the 15th September has alarmed religious feeling in France. The Government does not share this fear, because it knows that the treaty will be faithfully carried out on both sides. The journey of the Em press, therefore, at this period would only afford a proof of the confidence with which the Government is animated, and on the part of the Emperor only a testimony of his deep sympathy and attachment to the Pope. It cannot have any other signification." The very important question as to the right to publish a Guide to the Great Exhibition was to have been decided by the Tribunal of Correctional Police on Saturday, but by the consent of the coun sel on both sides the further consideration of the question was postponed for a fortnight. ADELPHI THEATRE. A new and original play, in three acts, by Mr. Tom Taylor and Mr. W. Dubourg, entitled " A Sister's Penance," was produced here last night with perfect success, notwithstanding that the com mon fault, now almost universal among play writers, viz., extreme length, prevailed, the three acts occupying three hours and a half in representa tion. A gentleman with the experience of Mr. Tom Taylor might reasonably have been expected to have guarded against such a mistake, but it seems now to be the rule to test the patience of the audience on a first night in order to properly condense the play, acting on the principle said to have been in practice in China, that of burning down a house in order to convert a pig into roast pork. " A Sister's Penance" might most advantageously be curtailed without in the slightest degree injuring the two principal parts, and the pruning knife should be used almost unmercifully with the comic business, because it has nothing at all to do with the plot, and beside which it is un pardonably dull and stupid. The moralising upon the mode of English rule` in India might also most advantageously be cut away ; and supposing this course is adopted there will remain quite enough of "A Sister's Penance" to form a very excellent play. The plot is briefly as follows. The scene opens in a villa near London, the residence of a merchant family, who, by sudden reverses, have been ruined, and there seems to be no prospect for the girls but to go out as governesses. The younger has unfortunately conceived a romantic attach ment for her sister's sweetheart ; a young engineer. By delivering to him a letter intended for another and less favoured suitor she induces the man to whom her kinswoman is betrothed to believe that she no longer cares for him. In this unhappy con viction he leaves England for India, whither the too fond author of his misery also repairs in company with her uncle, who is in command of an infantry regiment. The elder sister, believing the engineer to have jilted her, marries a man whom she does not love, and consequently makes wreck of her hap piness. Then the Indian mutiny breaks out, and affords an opportunity for a treacherous native, who has fallen in love with the heroine, to wreak his vengeance on her for having rejected him. There are plots and peril, through which the young engineer passes unscathed, thanks to his intrepidity. But his life has been darkened by the supposed perfidy of the woman he loved ; and when he discovers the deception that was practised upon him his sorrow is keener still. Meantime the hero ine suffers the bitterest anguish. her sin was the wrong she did her sister ; her " penance" is to en dure in silence the sense of guilt, and to observe that the man for whose love she tr ansgresse d so f ata ll y, so far from reciprocating her passion, views her with disdain. The conclusion of the play is left a good deal to supposition, each person being at liberty to picture the future of the repentant sister according to his own liking. With the parts of Alice Vernon and Frank Mark ham the authors seem to have taken the greatest care, and in representing them Miss Kate Terry and Mr. Hermann Vezin acted with an in tensity and pathos that at once secured the success of the piece. The great scene in the play is in the second act, where Markham discovers Alice's perfidy in the midst of the terror caused by the outbreak of the Indian mutiny. Nothing could have been better than the telling manner in which both lady and gentleman acted, and at the fall of the curtain the applause was as enthusiastic and general as it was highly deserved. There is also a very fine little bit for Markham in the last act, his meeting with the sister of Alice, now Mrs. Drayton. Mr. Vezin made good use of the opportunity afforded him to exhibit his powers as an accomplished actor, and the audience acknowledged the fact by the most rapturous applause. Miss Hughes, as the elder sister, acted with great taste and feeling, and Mr. Ashley, as the kind-hearted but over-worked army surgeon, gave an excellent rendering of the part. The mounting of the piece might have been better, as there was ample room for display, but somehow or other the Adelphi pieces are not now produced in the effective style of former days. There were also some ridiculous blunders almost unpardonable in a London Theatre. In the second act the moon almost took fire, and finally went out altogether, and the fastenings to the doors of the Indian dwelling most provokingly would not act at the time when the interest of the piece was just at its height. These, however, may be consi dered trifles, but when completeness and attention to detail are now so much in fashion they ought not to be passed over without notice. The applause at the fall of the curtain was en thusiastic, and the principal performers having acknowledged the compliment, the piece was an nounced for repetition every evening till further notice. It is with a deep regret that we record here the death of a man wh6 has served his country for up wards of half a century. Mr. George Lenox- Conyngham, Chief Clerk of the Foreign-office, expired this morning at his house in Eaton-square. He was a supernu merary clerk in the Foreign-office from July 5, 1812, till July 5, 1817, when he was appointed to a clerkship. He fulfilled for two years (from 1817 till 1819) the functions of precis -writer to Viscount Castlereagh, and was appointed chief clerk, April 5, 1841. He discharged the duties of that important post almost to the very day of his death, with an integrity and a zeal which those even who did not sympa thise with him have always respected and admired. Orders were received at Aldershot last night at 6 o'clock for the 28th (North Glocestershire) Regt., Col. Master, C. 8., and the 52d (Oxfordshire Light Infantry), Lieut.-Col. Lennox Peel, to be held in readiness to move to Ireland at a moment's notice. A Horse Guards', order, signed by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, K.C.8., Adjt.-General, has been received at Chatham garrison, in which it is an nounced that his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in -Chief desires that at stations where military gymnasia have been, or may hereafter be, constructed, all young officers of infantry, on join ing their regiments or depots, are to be put through a complete course of instruction in fencing therein, and that all other officers be encouraged to take up the same in their leisure hours as much as possible. The order also directs that officers of cavalry regiments are to continue to receive instruc tion in fencing as heretofore, whether there be a garrison Or gymnasitun or MA LA TEST INTEL LIB ENOT.

The following letter, said to have been addressed by Marshal Vaillant to a working farrier, of the Cote d'Or, of the same name, who desired to know whether they were related, has appeared in some of the papers. It is curious and characteristic, and, as it has not been contradicted by the personage most interested, may be considered as genuine : " Sir,—You have written me an excellent letter. The writer must be an honest man, and I should feel very proud to be related to him, though I don't know whether we shall be able to clear up that point. My father, whom I was so unfortunate to lose in 1823, had been district secretary at Dijon, and afterwards Secretary-General of Prefecture of the Cote d'Or in 1815. He was named represen tative during the Hundred Days, then dismissed from his post at the prefecture and imprisoned for being a Bonapartist. I was at that time with the army behind the Loire. My father died poor, but esteemed by every one. I don't think he had a single enemy. Ido not resemble him in any way. He was slight of frame, and lam big and burly. He was gentle in manner, and I pass for being surly and boorish. (A. fact.) In a word, he had as many fine and excellent qualities as people say I have de fects, and I believe those who say so are not mis taken. My father brought up a large family—now reduced in number. I have an unmarried sister at Dijon ; another who is a widow, and one of whose sons, M. Girrodde, is Engineer des Ponts et Chausses at Chatillon-sur-Seine. He is therefore a near neighbour of yours. I had a younger brother whom I had the misfortune to lose in 1815. My father had an elder brother who died librarian of the town of Dijon. My grandfather kept a little silk mercer's shop in the Place St. Vincent a Dijon. His father had been a shoe maker. I cannot go further back; my quarters of nobility stop with the shoemaker. I have heard say that one of my great uncles had been in the army, and was wounded in Canada. My father married a young woman named Canquoin. A brother of my mother died parish priest of Geniis (Cote d'Or). He was an excellent man, and we all greatly regretted him. His brother had some post in the Registry-office. We lost him in 1839. I have no children, and it is the greatest sorrow which Heaven could visit me with. I never asked it for wealth or honours, and it has given me what I had no desire for, and taken from me my stepson, the child of my wife. We must submit to its decrees. I was born at Dijon on the Gth of December, 1790 ; but I have hardly any recollection of my mother. IVe were very poor. We were tenderly brought up, but amidst privations of every sort. The servant who took care of us is still living at Dijon ; my sisters and I love her like a mother, and she loves us as if were her own children. God vouchsafes no longer faithful creatures like this good woman, who re ceived us when we came into the world, and she showed towards us a love such as it is impossible for me to express. She refused twenty offers of mar riage to stay with us, and yet we must have been a sad trouble to her. I entered the Polytechnic School at 16, - and I left it to enter the Engineers. The grade which of all others gave me the greatest pleasure was that of corporal at the Polytechnic School, I went through the campaign of Russia, and that of 1815. I was made prisoner at the close of 1813. I was at 'Waterloo. I was wounded during the de fence of Paris in 1815. I had a leg fractured by a musket ball at the siege of Algiers in 1830. My commanding officers said they were satisfied with me at the siege of Antwerp in 1832 ; and the Em peror said be was satisfied with me at the siege of Rome. Such, sir, is my history almost complete. I should be greatly pleased if you find in it any proofs of a community of origin between your family and mine. I pray you to receive the assurance of my perfect esteem, and to believe me your devoted ser vant, ct MASIIAL VAILLANT." THE LEA VALLEY. ~_~. Yesterday a conference, attended by magistrates and representatives of the local authorities of the wide-spreading districts surrounding the Lea Valley --an area almost equal to that of the metropolis itself—was held at the Tottenham High Cross rooms, for the purpose of considering the impor tant question of uniting the districts in one general system of drainage, similar to that of the scheme adopted in the metropolis —a question which in its bearings is of more than metropolitan interest. The question in some measure arises from the late outbreak of cholera, which drew public attention to the foul state of the river Lea, that stream having changed from a river celebrated in song as " silvery" to little better than au open sewer, the extra-metropolitan north and not th- eastern districts—those not taken in by the metropolitan main drainage scheme —freely draining into it. The Tottenham Local Board of Health have had au in terim injunction obtained against it by the River Lea Trust, to prevent it draining further into the Lea, and the board, whose district is as freely drained into by the districts higher up, called this very necessary conference. There were present representa tives from Frien Barnet, Finchley, Highgate, Horn sey, Hackney, Enfield, besides those of Tottenham, Mr. Healey, of the Metropolitan Board, Mr. Bod kin, Mr. Wyatt, Col. Jeakes, and other magis trates. Dr. Hall, the chai rman o f th e Tottenham Board of Health, occupied the chair, and in his opening observations referred to a circular issued by the board in calling the conference, pointing out the necessity for these large and widespreading dis tricts being united in whatever was undertaken in the way of sanitary improvement, so that they might have one scheme instead of mere abortive local efforts. lie said the importance of the ques tion was proved by the influential gathering there to consider this question, which had become the great social question of the day. Tottenham, he said, had always been in the van of sanitary reform, for when he as medical officer upwards of 20 years since, seeing the great amount of preventible dis ease which prevailed in the district, reported upon the matter, the district was one of the first to adopt the Health of Towns' Act, which was afterwards passed—namely, in 1848. Works were erected, and the district started with the pipe system of drainage and a constant supply of water, the sew age to be a source of profit by conversion into Bri- tish guano. The works acted well ; but the guano part of the scheme was a delusion, and as the popu lation increased very fast in this and the surround ing districts so the difficulties arose. The district found itself able to deal with its own sewage, but it was invaded in all quarters (it being between most of the other districts and the rivers Lea and Thames), and was at the present time virtually deprived of an ()Mini], being thus brought, after an outlay of £60,000, to a complete dead luck. What was the case of Tottenham to-day might be the case of the other districts to-morrow; and it therefore behoved them all to ccmbine to save themselves from falling into the same difficulties. He urged them to con fine their attention to three points—the first, whe ther there was any scheme which would enable each district to practically deodorize its sewage, and so keep each from being a nuisance to the other ; se cond, whether any combined representation to the Government would obtain the united districts an outfall in the Metropolitan system ; and, third, failing these, whether by combined action the districts could not adopt an independent outfall. Mr. Wyatt, the chairman of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum Committee, ad dressing himself to the first question, stated that this subject had engaged the attention of the magis trates, and schemes had been tried. One, which was very promising, and which had been mentioned by the chairman, had proved an utter failure, the cost of deodorising being very great indeed. Mr. Healey, on the part of the Metropolitan Board, said that there could be no doubt the works at Barking were able to take the additional drainage of this district ; but he thought it questionable whether they would be able to take the whole of the outly ing districts of North London,which would want to come in if an application were made to Parliament for that purpose. These answers disposed of the first two points, and the meeting then addressed itself to considering a scheme, and it was proposed to consider one drawn up by Mr. B. Denton, an engineer, who had had his attention drawn to the .abject by neighbouring landowners, who were de sirous of turning some marshes into building sites, and had considered the whole subject. It was urged on one hand that several of the districts had consi dered the question, and each had found its power lessness to proceed without combination with its neighbours ; but they each had schemes. It was at length resolved to form a committee of the repre sentatives of the districts, to give them power to consider the question in all its bearings, so as to be able to report upon and recommend some practical measure to a further meeting of the conference. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. MARKETS. --This day. RAY. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £3 Os to £4 58 ; clover, £4 lOs to £5 15s 0,1; and straw, £1 168 to £2 4s per load.

In the early stages of this Protean malady the purifying, regulating, and aperient Pills invented by Professor Holloway exert the most wholesome power, by accurately adjusting the functions of the stomach, liver, bowels, anti the minor organs, sub serving the solution of man's daily food. In confirmed debility of digestion Holloway's Pills are likewise reliable remedies, which may be confidently resorted to in all stomachic, hepatic, renal, and alvine derangements,without the slightest doubt of their ability to release the sufferer from almoat haupportablo misery, . 9.

Royal Geographical Society. Yesterday evening the seconi ordinary meet i t for the session, of the Royal Geographical Society was held in B ur li ng t on H ouse—the pres id en t, ir Roderick Murchison, in the chair. The first ou r ' munication read was a letter from Dr. Livingston e, from the Rov uma r i ver, E ast Africa, in wh i c h ~ described the progress he had made in pursuing course of that river into the interior, with the ObJ ec a of reaching the north end of Lake Nyassa) thence proceeding t o L a k e l angany iki , w hi c h lies "" the south of the Albert Nyanza. The latter lak e ' which is at present considered the source of the Nile, is suspected by many geographers to derive its wat er, from the southern one, w hi c h wou ld i n th a t case 0 come the source of that r i ver . D r . Li v ingate% stated that he had advan ce d a l ong th e Iterlrat about 100 miles, and though th e na ti ves were lic)r to be trusted, he had succe e d e d i n ga i n i ng the fav° ll ,, of one of their chiefs, and he felt confident of boll: able to accomplish the obj ec t s h e h a d i n view. T 11„, experiment of taking camel s an d b u ff a l oes with a l 'a had not answered, for se v e ra l o f t h e an imals h ad died. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, in some remarks O the letter, expressed the opinion that Dr. Livi l ' t ' stone would be at least able to p ene t ra te as far as the Nyassa, so as to deter m i n e w h e th er any ri vt ' r entered it from the north, which would be an I ' ll portant point to ascertain. Col. PI, AYFAin, her Majesty's consul at Zanzibar! also made some observations respecting the discovery of a more accessible means of penetrating the 111 terior than the course taken by Dr. Livingstone . Dr. R. J. MANN then made a communication a the physical geography and c li ma t e of Natal, wh ere he had resided nine ye ars . Th e sea coas t of the € l 7 , trict stretches in nearly a straight line in a se the westerly direction, facing the Indian Ocean shore is bounded by a range of low hills for a leag h ` e of 150 miles, i mme di a t e l y a f ter cross i ng w hich t' land rises rapidly towa r d s a range o f mou ntains th at partition the district of Natal into three divis t°l)s. 0 These mountains are a b r a nc h f rom mounO l ' still more lofty, whi c h f orm th e f ron ti er of IN 3t3t towards the nor th- wes t, and thus inclose a . la io c 0 , about equ a l t o one - t hi r d o f E ngland.

Th e mean teillter perature in summer is about 69 d eg ., an d inw ill pr . 60 deg., and on only two or th ree occas i o ns did . ve Mann observe the thermomete r so l ow as free r point. The average quantity of rain in the Y e . l3 `, was about 30in., by far the larg er qu antity f 3 111 : e during the summer month s , w hi c h i s con trary t 0 ' r times of rainfall at the Cape, an d w h ere the larg - co quantity falls in the winter.

The only drawback to thi s se ttlement ° i stated to be the want of harbours, for the 5h° 1. 4 8 0 . 0 encompassed by sand-bars, excepting in one ° I. 0 , places. The harbour of Du r b an i s , h o wever, c- ,15 able of admitting at certain ti m es o f the tide irc' s .;, of 500 tons burthen, and is capable of being 1 - proved so as to admit ships of 2,000 tons. T d r. scribing the geological character of the distric t, . to Mann said the granite,trap, and sandstone consti vl o f the principal rocks, the lower parts consisting be • granite, on which sandstone and basalt seeme d t° at piled without any regularity. The mountains _n, Natal, as at the Cape, are mostly flat at the w,r,, t grea presenting large extents of table-land at vations. At the conclusion of Dr. Mann's communiellti°lll); which was given without referring to the pap er , ro t had written, Capt. Toynbee and Mr. eralv'uoi, made some observations, the latter remarking the large produce of arrowroot and the small g tl i t :, I tity of sugar as not indicating a fertile sub -tro p ; ": 8 , country. Ile remarked also on the absence ° f v ` 13 . 0 0. Dr. MANN stated, in reply, that the cultiva i ti co of arrowroot was being discontinued, to g ive to more valuable crops, but the riches of the try had not yet been nearly developed, for tho it l'vwas lish had not been settled there 20 years, and not more than 40 years since any white Iran o b, pied the land. With respect to the vine served that the wet summers prevented the cul t° tion of grapes. 1 t tl Sir RODERICK MURCHISON congratu.a-c nit audience on the valuable, interesting, an d ad communication which they had heard, end 1101 j ounued the meeting to the 10th December, N." papers relating to Asia will be read.
