Tins DAY.—Mmrning, 311. 1331a.—Aftcrnoon, 3h. 50m To-lleaßow.-Morning, 4h. sm.—Afternoon, 4h. 20m, P IrD ‘ f jf tit 4 0 i2l/1 LONDON, SATURDAY, N6V. 10, 1866. Lord Mayor's-day is always welcome to the citi zens of London, and to others besides, for it breaks through the monotony of this dull season of the year, and affords some interest and excitement. Last night the chief event of the even ing's entertainment was, of course, the speech of Lord DERBY, and the noble earl did not disappoint his hearers. Perhaps few of his predecessors of late Years have had a more difficult task than the noble lord who has so lately become Premier ; but he ac quitted himself of the duty with success, and we should think his speech would afford satisfaction to men of all shade s of opinion who rank the interests of their country above the mere end of failure or of party triumph. Th e Lot d Alayor, in proposing the toast of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, gave a brief but impressive description of the f ee li ngs and sentiments with which they welcomed those who were entrusted with the responsible task of conducting her MAJESTY'S (g o vernment. He said that they alway s we l comed the Ministers with cordiality, whatever might be their politics, and, alluding to the spirit which animated them, observed, " We admire the patriotism w hi ch prompts men of the highest standing in the country o f the fairest powers of mind, of refined taste and m ag _ nificcnt fortunes, to forego their case and the gratifi cation of those powers and tastes, and for love of country to dedicate all to its service." With the frankness which always distinguishes him Lord I) EIZBY expressed himself, on the part of himself and of his colleagues, much gratified "at the more than cordial reception that the toast had received, but added that they did not regard the fact as an indi cation of political significance. They understood , that the manner in which they were received was the generous expression of English feeling, which always desires to cheer and encourage those who, in what they believe to be the interests of the country, take upon themselves onerous and laborious duties, and endeavour to fulfil those duties to the best of their ability." The noble earl drew an interesting parallel concerning the functions of the Lord Mayor and the Government, both having just entered on a new career of office, and both feeling that in the dis charge of their arduous duties they must seek for their best support in the " confidence and goodwill of their fellow-countrymen." No one can be surprised that the noble lord re fraiLed from giving any explanation of the intentions of her MAJESTY'S Ministers re garding the details of their future policy, but in taking a general survey of things he had to touch upon many calamitous events, all more or less crowded into this year, and forming as glaring a retrospect as any public man could dwell upon. In some respects, however, the clouds seem to have dispersed, or to be in a fair way of dispersing, and the noble lord was able to con gratulate his hearers that in spite of the " mone tary pressure which had brought ruin on some and distress on many, the public credit was un impaired, and the revenue maintained itself, and the commerce of the country was never on a better foundation and more sound and healthy. As for public events,. two wars have been con cluded which partake of that most distressing cha racteristic--civil war. The great Republic across the Atlantic, it is true, still suffers greatly from the effects of the prolonged struggle, but Lord DERBY entertains the hope that the Government of this country and that of America will act in such a spirit of forbearance that the awkward subjects of conten tion, created by the war, may be settled in a satis factory way, and not only remove all " remnants of bitterness, but place on a better foundation than ever our relations with that great country to which we are bound by so many ties of in terest and regard." Respecting the merits and results of the war in Germany Lord DERBY was silent ; but, as for Austria and Italy, he expressed a hope that, since by the cession of Venetia a burden was taken off one, and a province long desired was given to the other, that they might derive mutualad vantages ; and to Italy especially he gave excellent advice, when he said that, fearing no foreign foe, she should now devote herself to the development of her resources and interests. It is indeed in this brighter future opening for Italy that we of this country can see the only cheering prospect of the late continental war, and the- only chance of any satisfactory reminiscences hereafter appertaining to it. The noble Earl then turned to consider our achievements, and while admitting that we had no military glories to boast of, he declared with truth that peace had its triumphs as well as war, and in the course of this year we could point to a triumph of more gain to the human race, and more to the credit of our country, than any war, however suc cessful. " I allude to that great triumph which has been achieved by British science, by British skill, by British perseverance, and British energy, by which we have maintained our claim to exercise dominion over the sea, and combined in intimate and enduring bonds the great continent of Europe and America, between which we have succeeded in annihilating time and space." The Atlantic Cable is indeed a trophy to boast of, and the more so as it is entirely due to the energy and enterprise of our own countrymen. The noble earl made an amusing allusion to the lau rels the volunteers had reaped this year, and their great achievement in occupying the capital of Belgium ; and, putting aside diplomatic prudence, Lord DERBY announced that next year they thought of invading the capital of France. We may all concur in the opinion of . the noble lord that it will be well if these and similar invasions are all that Europe will be des tined to see for many years to come, and which, by exciting sentiments of mutual respect and esteem, are a " better security than anything which kings can offer or statesmen desire for the general peace of the world—so happily expressed in the words ' Peace on earth, and goodwill to men.' " In con cluding his interesting speech, Lord DERBY said that he would not continue the parallel he drew at first since in speaking of the Lord Mayor's predecessor ; he did not think it would be expe dient to dilate on the merits of those who had been the predecessors of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. Referring to the present worthy occupant of the civic chair, Lord DERBY expressed his confident expectation that when the time arrived when he must relinquish his high posi tion he would not have disappointed the expecta tions formed of him. " 1 don't mean to suggest any comparison between the period of your tenure of office and ours, but when you have to say to , your fellow citizens valete, you may add with con fidence et plaudite." We think we may go further than the noble Premier, and venture to predict that when he and his colleagues retire from office, be the term of th e i r tenure long or short, they will be followed by the respect of all and the admiration of n m c v a i n c y b ; a a n n a d u e t the aff s o p r e d e s c h la usa s t confident i night delivered assuran c a the e t t hat the best interests of the country are safe in their hands, and that they will act in asp spirit worthy of those who condu c t the affairsofthisgreraetcecivoemd-, com munity. Mr. DISRAELI, who was very well made some interesting remarks, chiefly relating to the connection between the City of London and the House of Commons, for which he returned thanks. After stating that the City of Lon don had for generations co-operated with the House of Commons in building up the great fabric of public might and popular liberty, he ob served that he hoped " the great deeds they had accomplished might not be forgotten, but remem bered and repeated in this country. They had been, and they only could be, acomplished in a land which was blessed by Parliamentary and municipal institutions. Individuals may form committees, but it is institutions alone that can create nations." The entertainment of last night was one of the most brilliant and successful that has taken place for years, and may be considered to inaugurate hope fully not only the career of the Lord Mayor, but of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. We learn, by the Atlantic Telegraph, that the Radicals have carried all the elections with the ex ception of Maryland and Delaware. This was only what was expected, but it is a significant fact that Maryland should be one of the exceptions. The trial of the Baltimore Police Commissioners =- Unties, and no doubt is entertained that the Gover nor will remove the Commission. The fervour of the Radicals is considerably modified, and whether they found the facts of the case to be really too strong for them, or whether they were averse to be drawn into a h r n a o v s ie: conflictiproeentnrweabtieedi from the o y n a purely local question, they the o v extravagant u a r n . d e t e c n o a u b n l e se l for the Commissioners, whoatfirrigsth,titofw remembered, d en i ed the Governor's juris diction in toto, have now pleaded not guilty. The determination of the central authority to support the local power has no doubt carried weight, an d the Radical leaders are probably to) shrewd to be- ---~-T TEE SUN, LOM;ON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1866. come involved in a revolt against the Govern ment, in which they would be clearly on the wrong side. The great question of the Constitutional Amendment is still being actively discussed. The Governor of South Carolina has refused to recommend his Legislature to adopt it. In this he is wise, since it is not very likely that, while the direction of affairs is entirely in Radical hands, South Carolina will be admitted on any terms at all, and therefore it would be a useless sacrifice to lower her flag. It should always be remembered, while considering this question, that the Southerners have no guarantee whatever for the admission of their representatives upon their ac ceptance of the Amendment. The terms of the bill adopted by Congress are, that if the Southern States accept the Amendment the question of their admission to Congress shall be made the subject of future consideration. This is a very vague promise, and when we remember that the Amendment disfran chises all Southerners who took any prominent part in the Confederate war, we shall find that the South would abandon much to gain very little. It is calculated that the Amendment would reduce the representation of three States, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi, by more than one-half ; and of four others, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and Arkansas, by nearly half. The exclusion of non voters only refers to negroes, the ingenuity of the Radicals perceiving that all persons who did not possess the suffrage were excluded from the basis of representation likewise, which naturally includes many aliens and non-voters. The statement which was circulated a short time since to the effect that President JOHNSON had decided to recommend the adoption of the Amendment by the Southern Legis latures has been semi-officially contradicted in a letter from Secretary BROWNING, of the Interior. Mr.B ROWNING writes at some length, arguing against the amendment, which, he says, would require an army to enforce it, and pointing out the danger which threatens civil and individual liberty from the centralisation of the Government. "It is im possible," he says, " to preserve our wise and happy form of government without preserving the inde pendence and sovereignty of the States within their appropriate and constitutional spheres ;" and he contends that with so domineering a Legislature as the present the whole structure of the government would be revolutionised by the addition of such enormous power to Congress. With regard to its effect upon the South, he says, "No such sweeping and indiscriminate proscrip tion is remembered since the days of PHILIP 11. of Spain." The Radical speakers and writers have generally endeavoured to give the amendment the appearance of a fair and liberal measure ; but it will not take long for unprejudiced persons to arrive at an accurate understanding of the case, though un fortunately it may be too late for popular convic tions to influence the elections. The Fenian element is still troublesome. The condemnation of Colonel LYNCH and the Rev. Mr. M'MAIION has excited the wildest indignation among the Fenians of the States. Mr. SEWARD has thought it advisable to address Sir FREDERICK BRUCE on the subject, asking for a delay in the execution of the sentence, and re minding the British Minister that clemency to wards political offenders was always wise and poli tic. He makes these suggestions freely, he says, because all European Governments had proposed the same opinions to the Federal Government dur ing the rebellion. Sir F. BRUCE might, if he liked, ask in return why such principles were not acted upon with regard to JEFFERSON DAVIS ! It is likely enough that the Fenian prisoners may escape their deserts, but we hope that the lesson will not be without profit to their fellows. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The illoniteur announces in its official part that the Emperor has received at St. Cloud the letter by which his Excellency General Cabral intimates his election as President of the Dominican Republic. A despatch from Venice announces that the King of Italy on his entrance into that city on Wednes day was received with indescribable enthusiasm. The crowd was so immense upon the Place St. Marc that it was impossible for the troops and the National Guard to defile. The Saxon Government has just paid into the Prussian Treasury five millions of dollars of the ten millions which it contracted to pay by the stipula tions of the Treaty of Peace. Saxony has only four millions now to pay, Prussia having purchased for one million a Saxon railway, which belonged to the State. General de Bonin, appointed by the King of Prussia Governor of Dresden and Commander in-Chief of all the Saxon and Prussian troops in Saxony, has just taken possession of his post. In the account of the formal surrender of Venetia by France to the King of Italy it is mentioned that the iron crown of Lombardy was also given up to his Majesty. When the first Napoleon conquered Italy he took possession of that crown. In the " Victories et Conques," under the head of 1805, the following account of it is given : " Napoleon I. made his entrance into Milan on the Bth of May. The crown of iron formerly worn by the Kings of Lombardy had been carefully preserved in the Museum of Monza. It had not been taken out since the coronation of Charles V. On the occasion of its being required by Napo leon it was taken from the Museum with great pompand ceremony, and placed in the Basilisk of Milan. Napoleon, taking it from the altar, put it himself on his head, pronouncing these words, which have served as the device for the Order of the Crown of Iron,which he instituted on the occasion : —" God gives it to me. Let him beware who touches it." Francis I. and Ferdinand 1., Emperors of Austria, were each successively crowned with it, in their quality of Sovereigns of Lombardy. In 1859, at the approach of the Franco-Italian army, the Austrians carried away this crown, which was religiously guarded in the Imperial Treasury at Vienna. The shape of the crown of the monarchs of France has undergone various modifications. It the crown was at the coronati on of Francis I. that the present of of France Italian uwasnit unity, is, in fact, T The shapecrown o of f iron, symbol pure gold, with a thin circle of iron inside, as I before described. The following nine lines of railway are now open for traffic in Russia :—The line from St. Petersburg to Moscow, the Moscow and Nijni-Novogorod line, the St. Petersburg and Trayskoe-Selo line, the St. Petersburg and Peterhoff line, the St. Petersburg and Warsaw line, the Wilna (Prussian frontier) line, the Riga and Dunabourg line, the Moscow and Riazan line, the Moscow and Jaroslaw line, and the Odessa and Balta line. Several other lines are in course of construction. Another artful trick, which may be termed the diving dodge, has been attempted in Paris, but the clever artist was unsuccessful. A fellow paraded along the Seine in such a singular and melancholy manner as to attract the attention of passers-by. All of a sudden he jumped into the river, but, as he intended, lie had been watched by some boatmen, who soon safely extricated him. When they brought him to shore they asked him to tell his motive for committing suicide. " Suicide?" said the fellow, " I am not such a fool as that. I can swim like a duck. Being very hard up, I wanted to raise a trifle. If you are good fellows you will go and get the 25f. always given for saving anybody from being drowned, and we will divide the money be tween us." The boatmen indignantly refused the offer, and gave the man into custody as a swindler. They also refused the reward to which they were .entitled, and Eaid they would not, either directly or indirectly, become the accomplices of a swindler. He is still in the hands of the police, and will be punished as a man who is too clever by half. At the last meeting of the Academy of Science, Marshal Vaillant announced that Marshal Bazaine had sent to the ➢linister of War an aerolite found in Mexico, weighing 870 kilogrammes, which, he said, would excite great interest in the scientific world. The Minister of War has presented it to the learned academicians, who destine it for the Great Exhibition. The Siecle comments thus upon the enthusiasm displayed at the entry of Victor Emmanuel into Venice :—" This triumphal entry was such as might have been foreseen after so many efforts, after so many vain aspirations, after so many sufferings supported so patiently. Italian unity has been ac complished. Despotism is succeeded by a Consti tutional reign, and the enfranchised populations, after having given their adhesion by an almost unanimous vote, confirm it by enthusiastic cries. Full of confidence in the future, Italy forgets or distains the obstacles which she may yet have to encounter." The A venir Commercial, a paper which distin guished itself by its advocacy of free trade and its opposition to all kinds of monopoly, has been com pelled to cease its publication for want of the support which it deserved. • The editor, M. Bernard, in his farewell address, predicts the speedy abolition of all existing monopolies, and regrets his inability to struggle any longer in aid of that consummation. The lavalicle Russe of the 3d November contains a manifesto having for object a considerable increase of the Russian army. It speaks of the necessity of reinforcing it by the addition of 300,000 young soldiers. The Gazette of Vienna also contains an article in approval of some arrangements adopted by the Minister of War for the increase of the Austrian army. Two of the persons wounded by the soldiers at tho wine-shop at Lavallois Pernet, M. Vitte and M. Boramier, have died at the hospital Beaujon from their wounds. M. Renault, another person who was wounded by them, is in great danger. Madame Vitte will never recover the use of the arm which one of the soldiers cut with his sword. The Cour de Cassation of Brussels has given a decision of great interest to dramatic authors. Messrs. Halevy and Meilhac, authors of the " Belle Helene," forbade the representation of that piece at Brussels without previous permission. The direc tors of the Brussels theatre paid no attention to the interdiction, contending that the treaty between France and Belgium relative to literary property gave them the right of representing any plays written in France upon payment of a certain sum to the agent of the Society of Parisian Dramatic Authors. The Cour de Bruxelles took this view of the question. Messrs. Halevy and Meilhac appealed against this decision to the Brussels Court of Cassa tion, but the latter court has just confirmed the de oision of the Cour de Bruxelles. A small new planet has been discovered by M. Stephens, of the Observatory of Marseilles. Thus the number of small planets is now 91. No account of this planet has been yet given by the authorities of the Paris Observatory. A young girl of 14 has just been arrested at Chateauvoux, on the charge of murdering her sister, an infant a year and a half old. The mother re cently died, and the father being compelled to go out to his daily work entrusted the infant to her elder sister. The prisoner says that she murdered the child because she did not want to be "bothered" with the trouble of taking care of it. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

Yesterday a deputation, consisting of Mr. John Holms, Dr. H. Black, Messrs. John P. G. Gow land (churchwarden of Hackney), Mark Coles, G. Dornbusch, Crompton, and Marshall, waited upon Lord John Manners, on behalf of a society lately formed for the preservation and extension of Vic toria-park. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Plummer. Mr. JOHN Hums stated that the deputation sought to obtain his lordship's assistance in the pre servation of Victoria-park, by preventing the fur ther erection of buildings on the north side, and by favouring the extension of the park by adding it to the Hackney-marshes, of 345 acres, the downs of 50 acres, the common of 30 acres, and London fields of 27 acres, which make, with the present area o o f Victoria-park acres. The (2o Nest-e nd a cres a spacious park area f 7 , parks, including Kensington-gardens and Battersea-park, amount to 1,500 acres, which gives 500 acres of park to every 766,000 inhabitants—so that the proposals of the deputation would only place the inhabitants of the East-end on a par with those of the West end. In the East-end there is a great deal of fresh air and open spaces, owing to the vast population there being _choked with poisonous or polluting factories. As the old antagonists of the anies—were moving Hamlets, who were V a g i a c i t o o ia t h - p o a p r o k o — p l t e h e o f g th a e s T c o o N m e p r grateful to his lordship for his former support, ap pealed to the Government, through him, not to permit the occupation of ground of so much importance to the public health. The overseer of Hackney has re ported upon the importance of open spaces being se cured for the people before the current of speculation, now set in, sweeps all away. The society of which Mr. Holms was president was preparing plans and details of ownership of property, i n or d er t o su b m it to his lordship, as the people of the Tower Ham lets were determined to contest with the gas companies the question of breathing places for the population there. Dr. BLACK explained, in answer to a question by Lord J. Manners, that it was the intention of the society represented by Mr. Holrus aid the deputa tion to promote the removal of the property lying between the marshes and the park, and make the whole into an enlarged park. The people of the East-end nad set their faces against any further en croachment of gas companies. Mr. GOWLAND said there was money lying in the Bank of England, produce of public land, which . might be available for park extension. The gas companies were all-powerful, and the people feared them, and were jealous of their parks. Mr. M. COLES and Mr. MARSHALL corroborated Mr. Holms's representations as to the packed con dition of the population so justly seeking protection at his lordship's hands. Lord J. MANNERS made several very pertinent in quiries as to whether the deputation had matured their z own proposals. For himself, he, was certainly anxious, as far as might lie in his power, to promote the public health and convenience of the people. It struck him, however, that the deputation went far beyond the preservation of Victoria-park; they pro posed the erection of a new park. He did not think the House of Commons would furnish funds for that, but would expect metropolitan funds to provide for any future park. Had the deputation seen the Me tropolitan Board? Did not the proposal before him rather lie with that body to consider ? No gas com panies had been to him ; indeed were not required to give notice to his office of their proceedings. He should have pleasure in giving such attention as lay within his province to any plans they might wish to lay before him. Mr. HOLMS tendered several explanations, and having thanked his lordship for his courtesy in re ceiving the deputation, they withdrew. STRIKE AT TIIE M XNCIIESTER GASWORKS.—On Thursday the workmen employed at the gasworks in Man chester struck for an advance of 6d. per day in their wages. Up to the present time their wages have been 4s. 6d. per day. They are the servants of tho corporation, who have realised in past times between £30,000 and £lO,OOO per annum, the money going mainly to a fund for effecting improvements in the town. It appears the workmen gave notice for an advance, but the corporation committee of management wished them at the time to wait till the new election of councillors haclbeen made, when the committees are usually reconstituted. The gas committee does not seem to have taken sufficient guarantees from the men to hold them to such an arrangement., and hence the public have been taken by surprise, and there is a danger of the town being thrown into darkness these dark November days and nights. The supply of gas is being so much economised as to oblige industrial establishments to re sea to the use of candles and other means of supplying light as best they can. MIME FRANCE.

A meeting of Yorkshire shareholders in this com pany was held on Thursday in Leeds to decide upon the policy to be pursued with respect to the report of the committee of investigation at the general meeting to be held in Edinburgh on the 14th inst. Mr. F. R. Jones, of lluddersfield, wa's called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that as he had only a limited interest in the company, and was not thoroughly conversant with the subject, he should confine him self to calling upon those present to deliver their sentiments. ➢lr. 11,. HODGSON, the chairman of the company, said he ought to explain and apologise to the meet ing for his being present. It was his wish to enter into a few explanations, if the meeting would per mit him, in order to guide them in any decision they might deem it right to come to. _ _ _ Some discussion ensued, which resulted in a reso lution to the effect that Mr. llodgson should have an opportunity of making any explanation he wished before the meeting decided upon the steps to be taken in reference to the committee's report. Mr. HoDusoN said he disputed several of the state ments of the committee. According to their view, the full revenue available for the payment of the pre ferential dividends only amounted t0 . £113,591, show ing a deficiency to the extent of about £95,000; and the conclusion of the committee was that these ad ditions to expenditure were deducted from revenue. There was no allegation to the contrary, for the traffic receipts were truly and properly stated at their amounts in the half-yearly accounts; but the committee differed from the board in regard to the principle on which those sums he was about to enu merate should be allocated either to capital or to revenue. There was a sum of £17,752 in the re port, expended on account of rolling stock which they said ought to be charged against revenue. The reason why that sum was charged to capital and not to revenue was because it arose from a de ficiency in the engines and waggons which the North British received from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, and the ➢lonklands Company, and which deficiency existed when they were handed over. There was £16,300 for Parliamentary ex penses. These expenses had been incurred for the most part in opposing the amalgamation of the Caledonian Company with the Scottish North- Eastern Company, and also the Corstorphine branch of the Caledonian, which, although only a small line, was intended and calculated to deprive the North British of its northern traffic now coming over the Central Railway from Perth. He maintained that that opposition was essential to the permanent interests of the company, and was a capital expendi ture. There were plenty of precedents for charging those sums to capital. So again with regard to the interests on unproductive works. He had now ac counted nearly for the whole of the £86,440, the sum total of those items, with few exceptions. As to the £15,000 got from the clearing-house in hard cash, that was not earned in the half-year ending July. But although the law had locked up their money for three years in the coffers of the clearing house, and although £15,000 belonged to them, yet the committee took credit for £5,000. The same rule applied to the balance of revenue carried over from the previous half-year, amounting to nearly £5,000, which the committee ignored. The prefer ence dividend, and the dividend declared at the shareholders' meeting, were just and legitimate dividends, and he hoped they would be confirmed. The next thing in the report was a diatribe as to the mode in which the permanent renewal fund had been dealt with. He had already stated in a cir cular, which appeared in the Times, and he would repeat here that day, the principle on which that sum had been dealt with. He had the firmest con viction that their property, as it at present existed, was capable of much further development, and that the traffic revenue would very soon overcome any deficiency, not only as regarded the payment of dividend upon preference shares, but also upon the ordinary stock. What they wanted was rest. He felt that was necessary to develope what they had acquired ; and he for one should hesitate before going to Parliament in the next Session at all. Let them see how their traffic could be in creased in the next 12 months ; and at the end of that period it would be time enough to go to Par liament for an extension of time, or for the aban donment of proposed works. Mr. WHITELEY said it appeared to him that Mr. Hodgson had been one of a party to the cooking of these accounts ; and he had no confidence in him. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WADE said that it was obvious from the report that the dividends on preference shares could not be paid ; and, of course, no original shareholder could get a shilling. But in order that not only the preference shareholders might be paid, but also that an ordinary dividend of 3 per cent. might be de clared, Mr. Hodgson directed that certain sums which the accountants had charged to revenue should be placed to capital and to the suspense ac counts, so as to obtain the sum required to pay the dividends. (Hear, hear.) Under these circum stances, it appeared to him that Mr. Hodgson could not have from them that support which he claimed. (Hear.) Mr. KIRK said he was satisfied that, if they removed Mr. Hodgson from his present position, they would send down the value of their property to the extent of millions of money. (Hear, hear.) He was not sure that the report of the committee was not a one-sided one. Mr. GARNETT said the great question before them now was what was to be the future of the North British Railway ? He believed that Mr. Hodgson was not only the chairman of the Board of Directors, but he was the Board of Directors itself. (Hear, hear.) He was now more inclined than ever to blame the directors for not having looked better after the interests of the company. (Hear, hear.) He felt that the shareholders must entrust the management of their affairs to other than the pre sent Board, if they wished to enjoy the confidence of the public. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HODGSON in reply said that after the meeting of shareholders on the 14th they would never find him forcing himself upon the shareholders and direc tors as chairman of the company. Mr. CRAVEN said he wished to state distinctly that he stood by Mr. Hodgson this time because a dead set had been made against him by a party. H e believed Mr. Hodgson thoroughly up to his work. Mr. TOLSON moved, " That this meeting pledges itself to give its proxies to Mr. John Beaumont, Mr. John Orr Ewing, and Mr. John Balfour, the gentle men appointed by the Manchester meeting of share holders." Mr. FORSTER seconded the motion. Mr. GARNETT moved as an amendment, " That the shareholders present, having no confidence in the Board of Directors, decline to entrust their votes to them." Mr. Alderman TITLEY seconded the amendment. On taking a show of hands the amendment was negatived, and the original motion carried. ___ _ _ _ On the motion of Mr. WHITELEY, seconded by Mr. G. LANCASHIRE, a vote of thanks to the chair man brought the proceedings to a close. A committee of shareholders in Cheltenham have issued a circular in which they state, " that it is of the first importance that the chairman, Mr. Hodgson, should be assured by the shareholders at large that they earnestly desire and request that he will con tinue to render his valuable services to the company." TIER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, Friday: The Queen drove in the Home Park yesterday afternoon, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise and Prince Leopold.

The receipts from the commencement of the pre sent book year, on the Ist of May, to the 15th of October, amounted to £123,077, showing a decreaso, as compared with the corresponding period of last year of £29,105. Tho working expenses for the same period amounted to £49,198, or 39.97 per cent. of the receipts, and for the corresponding period of last year to 35.59 per cent.. NEWPORT DOCK. The half-yearly meeting was held at the offices, Newp3rt,,on Thursday ; Mr. W. S. Cartwright in the chair. The report stated that the revenue account showed an increase of £3,491 over the corresponding calf of 1865. The cost of dredging the dock for the half-year amounted to £847, and as the deposit of mud was increasing, owing to the frequent open ing of the dock gates, it was considered advis able to contract for a dredging machine, at a cost of about £l,OOO. The directors also deemed it advis able, in consequence of the increase in the coal shipments, to erect an additional coal staith, and they had entered into a contract with Sir W. G. Armstrong and Co. for the necessary machinery, at a cost of £l,lBO. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,:congratulated the proprietors on the gradual increase in the traffic to the docks, and the im proved position of the company. In reply to questions, the CHAIRMAN said the di rectors of the Bank of England had requested pay ment of the £95,000 advanced to the company. In ()icier to comply with this demand it was proposed to raise £30,000 by the issue of debentures, at 5 per cent., and as to the balance of £65,000, he believed that an arrangement could be made with the Bank of England to continue the mortgage for that amount. He and another director were prepared to take £3,000 of the debentures, and he trusted the remainder would be taken up by the proprietary. The case of the ship Lord Elgin had been decided in their favour. The report was adopted, and the usual dividend was declared on the first preference shares ; and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 9. In shipping yarns we have had a fair amount of business, but rather lower prices have had to be taken than could have been obtained yesterday. In fact, the market has been declining ever since Tuesday. Some large offers have been made and for considerable quantities, but at rates too low for acceptance. Sellers seem under the impression that the market has about reached the lowest point for some time, but buyers are very cautious. In borne trade yarns things ale much the same. Manufacturers who buy these yarns are generally very cautious about their purchases. The prices of Tues day are generally asked, but in some cases a concession has been submitted to in order to effect business. The transactions have only been of moderate extent. The cloth market has gradually declined in price since Tues day, and things have gradually become more and more gloomy. Whore purchases are made considerable conces sions in price have had to be accepted. The reported failure of Dent and Co. has helped to intensify the gloom in this market, yet we hear of nobody being individually affected here to any serious extent. The great merchants' ware houses here are now mostly great bazaars. Tho traveller buyer goes into them as he would formerly into a town, and can buy silk, cotton, woollen, linen, and almost every description of goods ; and the result is that some of the commercial catastrophes that might overwhelm a simple manufacturerarenot felt so seriously by them. The capital is diffused over a greater breadth than formerly, and the failure of houses embracing one or two descriptions of goods affects them less. The failure in question has never theless had a depressing effect, and we have had a very flat market, with depressed prices. India and China goods have been difficult of sale, but still there has boon a business of moderate extent in other goods, out of the track of staple goods or those which are ordinarily in most demand. NOTTINGHAM, 9th.—At our Exchange-hall to-day the attendance was moderate. There was a limited demand for lace yarns, and prices were the same as last week. For hosiery yarns, the demand is hardly so good, but recent rates may be quoted. Silks unaltered, but there:was nothing doing. The inquiry for brown nets was slow, at about re cent prices.

FINES FOR CHIMNEY FIRES, &C. A letter was read from Marylebone, suggesting that 9 1 alteration should be made in the law which compelled for' sons who had incurred fines inflicted by the Metropolitan Board of Works, in consequence of having a fire occur on their premises, to appear before a magistrate and be put to extra expense, when they wore perfectly willing to pal without such proceedings being taken. _ . _ The letter was referred to the Fire Brigade Committee. WORKS AND GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE. Plans were submitted and agreed to for the embankment of the river at Chelsea, the improvement of Park-lane, and the approaches to the northern embankment. COAL AND WINE DUTIES, THE LOANS BILL, AND IMPROCE- MENT RATE BILL. Drafts of the bill were submitted for the continuance of the coal and wine duties, the Loans Bill, and the ImproVe ment Rate Bill, and recommending that the same be pro ceeded with npon the same basis as those of last session,with the exception that a provision be inserted in the Improve ment Rate Bill for the rate to be applied, in addition to improvements sanctioned by Parliament, to all other im provements in respect of which the Commissioners of S ewers for the City of London, or tho several vestries and district boards, shall contribute at least one-half of the expense. Mr. FREEMAN moved that they be approved. Mr. SHAW moved as an amendment, " That the Improve ment Rate Bill be referred back to the Works and General Purposes Committee to consider wbother, on account of the increased and increasing value of property in the metropo lis (which will enable the Board of Works to pay off the sum raised on the main-drainage rate in considerably less time than 40 years, the time limited by the act of the 21st and 22d Vic., cap 104), some better plan may not be sug gested whereby the improvements contemplated by the Board cannot, with the aid of the coal and wine duties, be effected at a rate not exceeding ld. in the pound, calculat ing that the coal and wine duties realise at the present time £195,677, and that ld. rate will give at least an addi tional £63,000 per annum; and considering that the coal and wine duties, and the metropolitan main drainage rate have increased (since the acts enabling the Board to bor row upon their security) upwards of £83,000 per annum." • _ The original motion, on a division, was carried by a ma jority of 13, the numbers being—for the amendment 9, against it 22. Mr. LAiatni then moved a further amendment, to the effect that the drafts be submitted without any referenc e to the improvement rat e . Mr. NICHOLAY sec on d e d th e amen d men t. After a few word s f rom M r . C OLLINSON i n oppos ition to the amendment, it was withdrawn. MANSION-HOUSE STREET. Upon the motion that Mr. Tito M.P., do take the chair during the temporary absence of Sir John Thwaites, he (the chairman) said he would just say, before he left the chair, that the board would remember that he had reported certain engagements which had been entered into, and the number of houses which had been dealt with, and thoan that still remain under negotiation. Because there had been some misapprehension in the public mind that the Board were doing nothing, he would state that the new street t? tho Mansion House from Cannon-street would be opened up at once. Mr. TITE, M.P., then took the chair, and after the usual formal business had been transacted, the Board adjourned• OXFORD UNIVERSITY AQUATICS. - - THE FOUR•OAR OPEN RACES FOR THE SILV CUP. This, the greatest event for four years in connection wit h the University of Oxford, was rowed onWednesday, T Lure" day, and Friday, the 7th, Bth, and 9th inst., the prize being a handsome and valuable large silver cup and silver medal°. On the present occasion there were three entries only-- viz., Exeter, Wadham and Worcester, and University, the holders of the cup. The first heat was between Exeter an d Worcester. The race was a time one, the latter having the first station. Exeter, although 80 yards behind at starting' could easily have passed Worcester, but to have the er pearance of something like a race they took it very WY' and won by 15 seconds. The respective crews were Exeter, W. T. Pownall (bow), Wills, G. H. Morrell, U. 0 . S winney (stroke), E. G. Wyldo (coxswain). Worcester-- C. B. Lowe (bow), E. Banks, E. Carter, J. Fish (stroke) , and S. S winbourn (coxswain). Second Heat.—Exeter and Wadham—The former ha d first position. Wadham at the Gut had lessened thei r distance behind, but were somewhat retarded by one of the crew catching a crab. This allowed Exeter time to recove r their lost ground, and rather more, but Wadham rowed 0 ° pluckily and with such determination that when tbel reached the Cherwell the race was about even. From this point to tbo winning post the struggle was a desperate one, and Wadham had the pleasure of hearing their pistol fir ed first, probably a second before they heard the Exeter re" port. Exeter were greatly the favourities. Every one We ° surprised at the result, and probably none more so than the winning crew. The Final Heat was between Wadham and University' the holders of the cup. From the fine style of Wadha m on Thursday, whereby they defeated Exeter, their friend° were sanguine that they would have the satisfaction Of, defeating their opponents yesterday ; but the result pro ve ' the great superiority of the University crew, who , al though being 80 yards in the roar, could have passed thelli with ease. Wadham had not the slightest chance--the winner's pistol-shot was heard 15 seconds before the other' University has now won the cup and medals three year ° 11l succession. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The members of the medical profession who have been educated at the University College had their annual dinner 19 ' 5t evening at Willis's Rooms.
