Various matters were brought under discussion and resolutions to the following effect were proposed and adopted : "That the law embodied in the 28th section of 19 and 20 Victoria, cap. 108, ought to be applicable to all debts, without reference to the amount, viz., judgment by default unless defendant gives six days' notice of his intention to defend. That all county court judgments of £2 and upwards be registed, and that the register state if the case was defended. That the summary procedure upon bills of exchange and promissory notes conferred upon county courts by orders in council of the 30th Jan., 1856, and the 27th July, 1863, ought to apply in all cases upon bills of exchange and promissory notes irrespective of the amounts. That the foregoing re solutions be embodied by the committee in a peti tion to both houses of Parliament, and memorials to the Lord Chancellor and the Attorney General. That it is desirable to establish, in connection with these societies, committees of arbitration for the settlement of commercial disputes. That in the opi nion of this meeting it is desirable that jurisdiction of the small debts courts in Scotland should be ex tended to claims of £59, and that the petition on the county courts shall embrace tbis resolution. That it is highly desirable that the laws relating to trade and commerce in the United Kingdom should be assi milated, and then consolidated into one code, that the committee be instructed to petition Parliament to that effect, and that the royal commission be addressed thereon. That Mr. Wells (11u11) be elected president aud treasurer for the year 1866-7. That Mr. Bissington (Leeds) be the vice-president for the year, and that Mr. R. Mellors be the secretary. That the committee for the ensuing year consist of the president, vice-president, secretary of the asso ciation, and one represent a ti ve f rom th e L on d on Association, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Liverpool, of whom three shall be a quorum, and the committee shall have power to call a special meet ing of the association when and where they may think fit. That the first resolution of the meeting held kit year as to the association being one of societies, instead of secretaries, be confirmed, and the association is hereby formed accordingly. That the members of the association shall represent the following places :—Bristol, Glasgow, Hull, Leices ter, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Macclesfield, Rochdale, Sheffield, Torquay, an West Riding (Leeds), &c." It was. also agreed " That the committee, having considered the suggestion of the Attorney- General, recommended that the bankrupt be en titled to his discharge upon payment of a dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound, or, in case such dividend be not paid, that the discharge shall be suspended two years, when the court may grant the same on application, but that such discharge be obtained upon his procuring the assent of a majority in num ber and value of his creditors in the same manner as is provided in the 146th section of the 19th and 20th Vict., cap. 79 (the Scottish Bankruptcy Act.)." The rules of the association having been revised, and some routine business having been gone through, a vote of thanks was passed to the chair man, and the meeting separated. JLK.( Terrible Boiler Explosion at Leicester. Yesterday afternoon, at 20 minutes past four o'clock, a boiler exploded in this town, resulting in the serious, possibly fatal, injury of two men ; a boy also having sustained injuries of a less dan gerous character. Within the last two mcnths a person named Woistenholme commenced business as an elastic web weaver, and occupied a small factory, two storeys high, belonging to Mr. J. P. Clarke, a cot ton-spinner. This factory was surrounded by build ings—in the front by hosiery warehouses, and on either side by a number of small tenements, and a hosiery manufactory, which the explosion has da maged to a very great extent. Wolstenholme's fac tory is a complete wreck ; the walls bounding the factory yard are all blown down. Two out-houses iu the adjoining yard have shared the same fate ; and the windows and doors of the tenements ad jacent have been shattered to atoms. Portions of the boiler, slates, bricks, and timbers of the build ing are strewn in very direction. A portion of the valve of the engine, weighing 121b5., was projected with great violence over the high build ings of two streets, against the arch of a door way on the Weiford-road, a distance of 150 yards, smashing a . piece off the arch and causing the greatest consternation to the inmates, one of whom had but just entered the house and narrowly escaped with his life. Fortunately there were but three persons in the factory at the time of the explosion — Mr. Wolstenholme, his father, and his c hild : The old man was blown into a dust-hole i n an otherwise , N v Y a frightfully adjoining yard, his leg was broken, and he they seriously injured ; the young faceni as well as other burnt and disfigured about thewereboth taken to the parts of his body, and The child was badly cut s to have been caused by /i e .

Railway and other Companies. EAST LONDON. A WTharncliffe meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday - at the London Tavern. Mr. Hawes, the chairman, stated that the meeting was called to consider two bills now before Parlia ment. The first was the East London Additional Powers Bill, the object of which was to provide for two deviations, the first on the north side of the river, necessitated by alterations made by the Great Eastern Company in their line, and the second on the south side of the river, necessitated by altera tions made in connection with the Brighton Railway. Although these deviations would cause outlay, the amount was not large enough to require the raising of new capital. A resolution approving of the bill was unanimously passed. With regard to the second bill, entitled the East London Eitension Railway Bill, the chairman explained that it belonged to an independent company, which propoSed to join the East London, and involving no responsibility to the latter. The resolution of approval was unanimously passed. This concluded the formal business, but some questions were asked of the chairman relative to the general position of the company. In reply, he said the purchase of land had so far proceeded most favourably. A jury had been referred to in one instance only, and the company was then suc cessful in reducing a claim for land by £l,OOO, There were perhaps two or three cases yet to go before juries; The works so far were scarcely be gun, owing to the great difficulty of getting entire possession of the land. The line would be probably completed in three years from last June. LADIES MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER.—Dr. CULVERWELL'S LADIES' TUR KISH BATHS, Tuesdays. Gentlemen other days.-3.

At pres ent nearly 500 Nights Lodgings, with Supp ers an d B rea kfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and otphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £3,000 more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor ramifies in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

There is a Fenian case now before the Court of Criminal Appeal—the Queen v. George Gilles, which is being argued ty,Mr.)3utt and Mr. Waters on the part of the prisoner, and Mr. Heron and Mr. Walsh for the Crown. The prisoner was tried at the special commission, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. He had first, at the request of the detec tive police, given evidence, by information, against several persons under arrest for complicity in the Fenian conspiracy, and particularly Moore, the pike maker ; but afterwards, when required to repeat his evidence in the presence of the prisoners, he de clined, saying that he would rather take ten years than give the same evidence over again, and that he would willingly suffer five years' imprisonment to get out of the business. He was then placed under arrest as one of the conspirators, and tried at the recent special commission in Dublin for treason felony. Mr. John Calvert Stronge, the magistrate before whom the information was sworn,. Charles Smith, detective officer, and Mr. Superintendent Ryan, of the detective force, were examined at the trial in relation to the circumstances in which Gilles at first gave and afterwards refused to complete his evidence against the other prisoners. At the close of this evidence the Crown counsel tendered in evidence the prisoner's information, which implicated himself in the conspiracy, and formed the evidence against him. Mr. Butt, Q. C., objected to its reception, on the ground—first, that it had been made under an expec tation that the prisoner would be taken as an approver and witness ; and, secondly, that, being on oath, he was bound to answer all questions put to him, un less he said it would criminate himself to do so. The Court, hOwever, allowed the information to be read in evidence, but reserved the question of the propriety of doing so for the consideration of this Court. The prisoner has been since undergoing his punishment. The following is Professor Ferguson's last report, issued yesterday evening : "No fresh cases of cattle plague have occurred in the county Down since the last report. There have been many cups of alleged cattle plague reported from four dif ferent counties in Ireland; but the symptoms of none of them resemble that disease. It is very probable that the disease has been already exterminated from Ireland. All the cattle in the proclaimed district of Drennan are in perfect health, apparently, notwithstaading that previous to the cattle being slaughtered, and the cordon bring established, there had been for weeks a continuance of disease and mortality. It would, however, be premature to report more decidedly than that the prospect of a de sirable issue to the prompt measures that have been taken is most favourable." The Dublin University foot races and other athletic games comrnenced:ye i sterday, and seemed to have attracted all the people yn the city who could get away from business. It is said that 10,000 tickets were issued for the reserved part of the Col lege Park, and there must have been fully that I number in the free part. The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Kimberley arrived shortly after 3 o'clock, and met an enthusiastic reception. It was pleasant to see the Fellows of College, the clergy, judges, and other dignitaries giving their countenance to these sports, which, however, de rive their chief encouragement from the presence and sympathy of innumerable ladies. The weather was very favourable. Londonderry is in full revolt against the Irish Society, who are the lords of the soil in that famous city. A great meeting has been held there on the subject of Mr. Tristram Kennedy's motion in the House of Commons, and it appears from the re port in the Londonderry Standard that nearly all the influential men in the place were on the platform. The Mayor (Mr. Darcus) was in the chair, and among those who were present and took part in the proceedings Mr. Geo. Skipton, D.L., Mr. Haslett, J.P., Mr. T. Macky, Dr. M‘Knight, Dr. Browne, Mr. Isaac Colhoun, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Hamilton, barrister, and a number of the leading merchants of that prosperous town, which would progress much faster, they assert, if the Irish Society did not stop the way by refusing proper building leases. One of the speakers stated that £4,094 is expended in the management of this trust property, which produces £11,192 17s. sd. a year, and they think it rather too much to spend £4,000 in the management of £12,000. These are the items :—lncidental expenses, as per general agent's account for 1865, £ll4 3s. Odd. ; law expenses, £492 7s. 11d. ; salaries to general agent, deputy vice -admiral, surveyor, and others, 926 16s. 6d. ; pension to general agent, £250 ; italB6s, £539 19s. 6d. ; surveying expensesexpenses,n iso;sala ry of clerk -and porters' wages, £197 Os c o al „ , gas, printing, stationery, adver tisements, 118. 5d.; salary to secretary l coal, and assistant-governor, deputy-governor, and assis tants, for attendance at 51 meetings, £549 ls. 6d.— total, £4,094 98. lOid. Mr. Haslett gave the fol lowing as an illustration of the intelligence of the managers : " One gentleman on being asked by another, Were you over in Ireland ?' replied, Oh, no ; but I intend to get on the Irish Society next year, and then I'll have a trip.' (Laughter.) ' What kind of people are they over there ? Do they speak Trish ?' (Laughter.) ' Oh, no; they are very proud of decent, civilised people.' ' Oh, lam gl a d th ey d on t spea k Irish, for none of us do, but m y dau ghter can speak French.' (Laughter.) : g yes,yet e — r I. )t. e h see ' They overthe there.' siege.' er : A Oh, h a ppened in the rei gn o f Ri ng John, I be lieve?' (Laughter . ) This is b y n o means an imaginary u sDerry had people a g r are eat siege very Qne u time ro specimen of the way we are talked about in London." The Maiden City thinks that after a minority of 250 years she is now quite capable of governing herself, and that she should Ono of free and independent use of her dowry. ne of the speakers, Mr. Skip ton, explained her wants thus:— " It is not our private interests, I trust, that we regard. I, for one, though deriving the largest benefit out of the society's Derry lands —they themselves not excepted—can neither gain nor lose by any change in their constitution except as I .am affected by the welfare of my follows and the prosperity of their city. (Applause.) We do not wish to rob the society of their property ; we do not distrust or doubt the honesty of the individual members of that body, or their sincere desire to carry out their trust to the best advantage of the inhabitants; but we do call in question the fitness for the present time of the constitution of thiit body, and the opportunities afforded them of its members obtain ing any real knowledge of the trust it administers. What we want is a tenure like that which has made Belfast the great emporium of commerce she now is." Among the resolutions, all of - which passed unani. mously, was the following That a committee consisting of the following gentle men be now appointed to prepare and forward for presenta tion to both Houses of Parliament a petition praying the Legislature to take such measures as to them may seem best to carry out a complete reformation of the Irish Society, and the existing evils, having reference to the report of the Royal Commissioners, and to take such further measures as to them may seem best to carry out the objects of the fore going resolutions :—T he mayor, the movers and seconders of the several resolutions, Mr. Tristram Kennedy, M.P. ; Lord Claud John Saililto; i Sir F. 'W. Haygato, CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The ninth ordinary general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the offices, Gresham house, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. Borradaile in the chair. The report stated that the receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to £4,642 against £3,020 for the corresponding half of 1864, showing an increase of £1,622. The amount of merchandise and mine rals had been nearly trebled, without, however, se curing a proportional increase in the pecuniary re turn. This was to be attributed to the experimental reduction which was made in the fares for twelve months, to encourage the resort of traffic. At the beginning of the present year the old rates were re sumed, with some modifications, and this had already produced a beneficial result. The number of passengers in the first nine weeks of the current year increased upwards of 30 per cent., the quan tity of goods 30 per cent., and the total re ceipts upwards of 50 per cent. over the corre sponding period of the previous year. The num ber of passengers carried up and down be tween Calcutta and Canning in 1865 was 42,343, against 13,386 in the previous year. The object of the railway was to create a new harbour and poo on the Mutlah to relieve the pressure of traffic on the llooghly. The prosperity of the line, 28 miles in length, depended therefore on the growth of that port. The surface drainage effected by the municipal commissioners had a very beneficial effect in pro moting the health and convenience of the residents. The Canning Land Company had devoted a portioil of their large capital to the erection of ten screw pile jetties, and of houses for their officers and men. Two steam navigation companies which were en gaged in the trade between Calcutta and the North- Eastern district, and Calcutta and the various ports to the eastward, had commenced to make Canning their port of departure. The facilities which the river Mutlah and the new port offered for maritime commerce were beginning to be appreciated and im proved. The receipts on revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st December last amounted to £1,612, and the expenditure to £5,921, showing a loss on working of £1,279. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had but little to add to it. He hoped in the current half-year that the receipts for traffic would fully cover the working expenses. The traffic was increasing, and the only drawback they had had was the loss of their jetty, owing to a landslip on the foreshore of the river, and about half of the jetty had disappeared. The Government had ad vanced £40,000 to the municipal authorities to carry out improvements ; and the full interest on the com pany's stock would continuo td be paid as usual, notwithstanding the deficiency in the traffic receipts. Mr. MARSHMAN seconded the adoption of the re port, and it was carried. The retiring directors, Mr. Borradaile and Mr. Thomas were re-elected, and also Mr. Goodchap and Mr. Johnson, the retiring auditors. CITY TERMINUS HOTEL. The second general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the Charing-cross Hotel, West Strand ; the lion. J. Byng in the chair. The Secretary having read the report, The . CHAIRMAN, is moving its adoption, said it was a great satisfaction to them that the building was progressing, in every way that could be desired, and they all felt much indebted to Messrs. Lucas for the expeditious manner in which they were en deavouring to carry out the works. At the time they issued.their prospectus of the undertaking the money-market was in a very unfavourable position, and the public did not readily respond ; and had it not been for the South Eastern Railway Company they would most probably have abandoned the un dertaking. He was glad they had been enabled to go on with the hotel, as he believed it would be, like the Charing-cross Hotel, a very great success. From the position of the hotel in Cannon-street, and the valuable support and assistance it would derive from the traffic of the railway, he looked for ward to great returns from it. It was to be regretted that a fine undertaking like theirs should not have been sup ported by the public, who, when appealed to, were looking for very large percentages in other compa nies that could not be expected to continue. The restaurant would be opened about a month before the railway was ready,. and he had no doubt it would be a paying concern. Mr. C. F. SURTEES, M.P., seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. The retiring directors and auditors,were re elected. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated that the hotel would be opened in March or April next, and he hoped they would have the good for tune to get an able manager like Mr. Higgs to carry it on successfully. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. RAILWAY BILLS. In the House of Lords on Wednesday the Bridg water and Taunton Canal and Bristol and Exeter (Transfer) Bill was adjourned.

The following is the text of the Note transmitted by the French Ambassador at Frankfort to Baron de Kubeck, the Austrian Minister, hi his character of President of the Germanic Diet, and is, of course, mutatis mutandis, the text of all the invitations to the Conference : " The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Em. peror of the French, has been instructed by- his Government to lay before the High Assembly the following communication. The difference which has arisen between Austria and Prussia in connexion with the Schleswig-Holstein question has become a subject of great anxiety to Europe. Public opinion is alarmed by the possibility of a war in which so many various interests would be engaged. France, Great Britain, and Russia themselves could not without uneasiness contemplate the possibility of an armed contest which would array against each other States towards which th3y entertained equal friendship. The highest consi derations incited them to seek some means of staving off that danger. The three Powers have consulted among themselves, having the same idea of peace and conciliation, and, after having interchanged their respective views, have formed au agreement to invite to a common deliberation the Governments which are, or may be, implicated in the dispute— that is to say, Austria, Prussia, Italy, and the Ger manic Confederation. The object of these delibera tions is one that must impress all minds. It is, in the interest of peace, to resolve by diplomatic means the question of the Duchies, that of the Italian difference, and, finally, that of the re forms to be introduced into the Federal Pact, so far as they affect the European balance of power. If the Most Serene Germanic Confederation consents to yield to this appeal, as the three neutral Courts entertain a hope that it will, its Plenipotentiary can in Paris join those of France, Great Britain, and Russia. As to the date of the meeting, it is desir able that it should be as early as possible. The apprehensions created by the present crisis cannot abffeortodedo s t o o o lu e r x e p p e e l . led T , h a e n n d eg a ot p ia led tio g n e s w of ill s p e r c e u s ri en ty t greater prospects of success if they be not disturbed by the clash of arm s and Thed sentig to th by the susceptibilities of points n military Govere proposition of the E of the of mPer°rrelies that in honour. a three Courts the Powers which at this mo. ment are engaged in making preparations for war will show themselves disposed to suspend those pre parations, even although they should hesitate to restore their forces to a peace footing. The Government of the Emperor awaits with earnest solicitude the determination of the Germanic Confederation. The undersigned has the honour to requestMinister of Au hisEstxricea and p Excellency therestof h Baron en de t IC e u be c k Ger manic Diet, to transmit to that High Assembly the invitation of the three neutral Powers, and to re ceive the assurance of his very high consideratiob. " Frankfort-on-the-Maine, May 28, 1866." The official record of the sitting of the Germanic Diet on Tuesday last runs thus : " The Federal Assembly receives, in the shape of three identical Notes, addressed by the Ministers of France, England, and Russia, the invitation to assist in the deliberations which are about to take place at Paris with a view to the maintenance of peace. It is resolved to bring this invitation to the knowledge of the high and the very high Govern ments, and to refer to a committee of seven mem bers the examination of this matter. The selection of this committee has been made after the previous nomination of the committee charged with the ex amination of the motion by which Limburg seeks to be detached from the Germanic Confederation." L'Europe adds to the foregoing some details The committee of seven members to which is in trusted the duty of drawing up a reply to the invi tations of the neutral Powers is composed of repre sentatives of the following States :—Austria, Prus sia, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Wurtemberg, and Electoral Hesse. The inquiry of the committee will be directed to the two questions :-1. Shall action be taken of the invitation cf France, England, and Russia ? 2. If the reply to the first question be in the affirmative (as is probable, and, indeed, certain), then by whom shall the Germanic Confederation be represented ? We believe that there is no doubt that the choice--of the Federal Assembly will fall upon the Prime Minister of Bavaria, M. von der Pfordten. 'The Diet will reassemble on Friday (this day) to receive the report of the committee, and to proceed to a decision upon the two questions just mentioned." Shocking Murder in Birmingham. ONE BOY KILLED BY ANOTHER. A most shocking occurrence took place yesterday after- • noon in Heneage-street, by which a boy only ton years of age was deprived of life by another boy, who is bis junior by a year. The murdered boy is named John. Davis. He was a fine boy, ten years of age, and lived with his parents in No. 4 Court, Henry-street, Ashted, and worked at Mr. Steven's, the Dartmouth-street Glassworks. His murderer is a little Irish boy, named Thomas M'Gee, who lived with his parents in Howard's-place, Hill-street, and worked as an " edger" at the hinge manufactory of Mr. 'Gold, in Great Lister-street. He had enly been in Mr. Gold's employ during a few weeks, but in time had acquired the reputa . tion of being a quiet, good-tempered lad. The dinner-hour for the employes at both places of business was the same, and Heneage-street Bridge seems to have been a favourite resort of the lads in their leisure moments. The bridge is distant a few hundred yards from Mr. Stevens's, and about double that distance from Mr Gold's place of business. To this accustomed spot a large number of boys repaired at dinner-time yesterday, and commenced, boy like, all sorts of practical jokes the one with the other. 31`Gee would seem to have been eating his dinner, in the carving of which he ,used a small one-bladed pocket-knife, with a white bone-handle, when the unfortunate deceased gave him a slight tap, whereupon, in a moment of passion, he turned round and struck his assailant a severe blow in the left breast with the hand in which was the knife. Davis, on finding himself wounded, at once turned about and ran away in the direction of his workshop. As he passed along the street he was seen to m f b e t l o h to e t h t e h eG managedeanrethr a.l tHo He Hospital, within wasb utdied ie his promptly s d I bo bleeding profusely, and stagge r i ng i n hi s ga i t, but before or ama on a any eth o ede n r , e s c g andaaoyutt. ae l d ,k woe reach nhaemirin examininge hh • him he was found to have been stabbed in the region of the heart. M'Gee, when he found what he had done, at once tried to escape, and, getting upon the canal towing -path, made off in the direction of the bridge in Great Lister-street, near to where he worked. A man named Thomas Crampton, who lives in the Hope Pole yard, Lawley-street, hearing the hue and cry, and seeing the lad running away, but not knowing what had been e dono,at to be thrown into the canal. Crampton held the boy p asked once gave chase and speedily captured him, when h until the arrival of Police-constable i C iii lnufft(o2oLo)lsviey, who took - - street r i snoe him into custody, and conveye d ‘ station. On being asked whe re was the knife, M Gee coolly asked his reason closed and covered with blood.
