All may be apparently calm and tran quil, and yet at a moment's notice, in the twinkling of an eye, up starts a new combination, and the peace of this island is at an end, while alarm and consternation are rife among those who are in danger of coming in contact with the disaffected men. Perhaps it would be better to wait a little and watch events before any one pre sumes to say that the affair is over. In fact, if those who are the most sanguine will take care to investigate the matter a little, they will see that the plans of these Fenians have been well matured, and that their movements, if sudden, are not the result of a hasty notion, but rather in consequence of pre concerted measures. It is long since the authorities have had so diffi cult a task, and so troublesome a -one, too, as the suppression of this Fenianism, and its worst feature is that as fast as one phase of its conspiracy is over lIOLBORN THEATRE ROYAL scie Proprietor and Manager, Mr. Sefton Parry.

In this last affair one confusion has followed so fast upon another that we are partly justified in believing that they were all pre -arranged, and that the rebels hoped thus to bewilder the authorities if they did not succeed altogether in outwitting them by their strategy and alacrity of manoeuvres. The worst encounter was the attack made at the police station at Kilmallock. Two hundred of the Fenians surrounded the place, which was occupied by only fourteen of the police force, but these contrived to hold their ground until a reinforcement came to their assistance. The police have been the greatest sufferers in this outbreak, both from the fury of the rebels being more particularly directed against them, and from their being so much exposed to their attacks. At any rate, this farce, or this reality, whichever it be, has gone on long enough, and it is high time that it should cease. It is evident that hitherto the Fenians have been treated too leniently, and therefore more vigorous measures must be adopted for the future. The very fact that the last outbreak should have taken place so soon after the Government had resolved to put a stop to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act proves that moderation and conciliation will not do to depend upon in treating with these conspirators. They must learn to fear the law they have outraged, and the most prompt and decisive measures will be the most efficacious as well as the most merciful in the end. The new Congress does not apparently intend to work too hard, for we learn by a telegram, dated New York, March 7th, that on Monday next the House of Representatives will adjourn its sitting until the month of May. Possibly by that time the aspect of affairs may have changed, both parties may have modified their views, and something like a political compromise may be successfully accom plished. The proposal for the impeachment of the PRESIDENT has been referred to the Judiciary Committee for investigation during the recess. It is not likely, moreover, that we shall hear much more of it. One of the most im portant things done by the Congress since its re assembling has been a gracious and courteous act. A joint resolution of the two houses has been una nimously adopted, tendering the thanks of Congress to Mr. Cmus FIELD, " for his foresight, courage, and determination in establishing telegraphic com munication by means of the Atlantic cable traversing through mid-ocean, and connecting the Old World with the New." Mr. FIELD richly deserves this tes timony of the appreciation of his countrymen, and we can only hope that, in addition to the gold medal suggested by Congress, a gift of $20,000 0r530,000 may be offered in the name of the nation to an emi nent public servant. The career of Mr. FIELD does honour to America, and America should honour him worthily in return. We believe that he is engaged in some new schemes for perfecting the communi cation between England and America, and render ing it altogether independent of the land lines, in which attempt he will, we hope, be successful. Now that the North German Parliament has fairly begun its work many conflicting interests have made themselves apparent, and it is curious to watch their gradual development, and to speculate upon the effects that they may produce. It appears that, in addition to the Conservative and the Na tional Liberal parties, a middle party has been formed,which has been variously composed. It con sists of Prussian old Liberals and Deputies from Saxony, the former Electorate of Hesse and Upper Hesse. It is important to notice that this party will exercise a decisive influence in case of :a " numerical equality" of the other fractions. This new party will not be regarded in a very favourable manner by the Berlin Government we should pre sume, for it will seriously interfere with the fulfil ment of many of their projects. The Conservative party held a meeting the other day, at which it was settled that an " united support should be given to the draught of the Constitution." They wisely determined that no secondary proposals should be made until the draught of the Federal Constitution was no longer in danger of rejection. This is as well, because if too much time be expended in the prosecution of details there is a great risk run of nothing effective being done. So far as the mere arrangements are concerned, there is no particular fault to find with the plan of this North German Parliament, and we suspect that where it fails will be in the interference exercised by Prussia. The restrictions that Herr BISMARCK seems inclined to put upon the publication of the reports of the de bates will militate against its carrying out the in tentions of those who have desired to establish 04 Commence at Seven.

It is very satisfactory to find that the affairs of Hungary are decidedly improving, and that there seems every prospect of the mutual good under standing already arrived at continuing. On the 6th of this month, in the Lower House of the Diet, the Government bill respecting the Hungarian muni cipalities was adopted, at least so far as the prin ciples of it is concerned, and this is a good sign of the entente cordiale that exists. The importance of the bills which were laid be fore the Diet is very great, and it is therefore interesting to dwell upon the reception that they have met with. The danger lay in the existence of a party which tried its utmost to injure the connec tion between Austria and Hungary. On the vote be ing taken, only 18 were found against the bill, and 317 in favour of it, so that it is not unreason able to presume that the worst is over as far as any opposition of a dangerous character being mani fested. We hope that the Imperial Government at Vienna will continue the wise policy they have begun, and which has already been attended with such signal success. The peculiar events of the time render it more than ever important that amiable relations should exist between Austria and Hungary. Notwithstanding the great improvements which we have now a prospect of seeing carried out in the Poor Law, there is no doubt whatever that there will always be abundant room for the exercise of private and voluntary charity. It is quite impossible for the requirements of a public law to be adapted to those cases which alike most need and most de serve help. We often hear of harrowing cases, in which the decent poor, suddenly reduced to ex tremities by illness or accident, endure to the very verge of starvation rather than apply for parish help. The " house" has terrors for them which no argument or experience can remove, and while thousands suffer severely without the world knowing anything of their sufferings, sometimes the feeble frame succumbs, and we have an inquest, and a verdict.of "Death from want and exposure." Under a very much improved and dis criminating system we cannot suppose that the treatment of the casual poor will ever be tolerable to the better class of homeless persons. The inevi table association with vagrants of the worst descrip tion is of itself an intolerable hardship ; and the servant out of place, the widow, with her chil dren, who have seen better days, the man or woman discharged from the hospital and unfit to work, may all find themselves " hou eless by night" without the casual ward of the parish workhouse offering them more than nominal assistance. The very great amount of suffering endured in London through a hard winter by the houseless poor led to the esta blishment of those night Refuges which have done such good service, both directly and indirectly. Their immediate effect has been to save many from dying of want and cold in the streets of wealthy London, to mitigate much undeserved misery, and to stretch out a helping hand to lift hundreds out of almost hopeless degradation and despair. Their in direct influence may be traced in the new Act for the benefit of the Houseless Poor and the increased interest felt in their condition. The benevolent exertions of the founders and managers of these in stitutions familiarised the middle classes with the real wants and sufferings of the houseless poor whom the public were no longer content to leave to the doubtful mercy of the workhouse officials. One of the most successful of these institutions has been the Newport Market Refuge, which owes its existence mainly to the charitable efforts of Mrs. GLADSTONE. It was established about three years ago, with the object of affording food and shelter to the really destitute, having special view to making inquiry as to their characters, and giving help of a practical kind to those who are really de serving of it. The committee aim at drawing a marked distinction between the regular tramp and the respectable portion of houseless poor, who are often only in a state of temporary destitution, and to whom such assistance on the first break-up of their homes is invaluable. The committee are enabled by experience to distinguish very quickly between the two classes, and though they almost entirely exclude the ordinary tramp, their institu tion is, nevertheless, full every night! During the past year 265 female domestic servants had been among those received and assisted, many of them being from the country. What could these poor girls have done alone and friendless in London without such aid ? Very certainly the casual wards of the workhouse would not have been the place for them, and yet they might be temporarily out of a situation without fault of their own. There is in connection with the building an industrial school, intended for those little friendless boys who at pre sent come under the influence of no other institu tion. During the visitation of the cholera last year a number of friendless orphans were received at the request of Mrs. Gladstone, and during the year 360 persons have been assisted in permanent ways by the charity. During the nine months, when it was open in 1866, 16,275 nights' lodgings were given and 40,748 rations issued, while 11,520 persons were relieved from the soup kitchen. It is quite evident, then, that there is plenty of work for the institution to do, and there is very little doubt that it is being done in the most efficient and satisfactory manner. The annual meeting of the association, which was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms under the presidency of Lord Powis, was, we are glad to see, very largely attended. The committee had the advantage of the elcquent advocacy of Mr. GLAD STONE, who observed that, as a general rule, it was necessary in London that the claims of an institu tion to public support should be grounded on two conditions. In the first place, it should have a bad balance-sheet ; in the second, it should have a good purpose. With regard to the first condition they had an annual income of £3OO, and a yearly ex penditure of £2,500 ; with regard to the second there was many reasons in its favour. The report, said the right hon. gentleman, very truly alluded to the inclemency of the weather from which the poor suffered, but they were also exposed to the in clemency of the heart. Many persons clothed themselves in a kind of armour against indis criminate appeals for aid, but it must not be for gotten that the official administration of relief must always be more or less deficient in those principles which were the life of charity. The Archbishop of YORK, who followed, alluded to the treatment of the casual poor in some of the London workhouses, which is not certainly very inviting to decent folks. We have little doubt that the meeting of yesterday will be of great service to this excellent institution by bringing its claims forcibly before the public, and showing, as Mr. GLADSTONE reminded his hearers, that its objects are as eminently rational as they are unequivocally Christian. Notice has been given that the scheme commenced in June last, for capitalising the overdue coupons of the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad First Mortgage Construction is now com plete. Bondholders are requested to apply for fur ther particulars to Messrs. J. IL Schroder and Co. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. PARIS, Thursday Evening. The evening Moniteur has some interesting com ments and explanations relative to the general posi tion of foreign countries. It says—" The military question is the order of the day in almost all the countries of Europe. It is not only the great Powers like France, England, and Austria, but the small States like Holland and Denmark, which change their system of armament and the reorganisation of their armies. The principle the most generally adopted is the obligation to serve under the flags, and the division of the forces into active armies and armies of reserve. From the moment that one or several of the great European Powers adopted such a system it became necessary for the other States to follow the example, unless they were inclined to condemn themselves to a regretable inferiority. It is stipulated in the project of the Confederation of Northern Germany that every German of the North shall be subjected to military service. Austria imposes the same principle on all her sub jects of the empire of Hapsburg. Such is also the basis of the common military organisa- tion upon which the Ministers directing the f our States of Southern Germany came recently to some agreement at the Conference at Stuttgard. Sweden and Denmark also propose to the Chambers that every Swede and every Dane shall be under the obligation to enrol himself in the army. Holland wishes to raise the number of men of her active army from 55,000 to 70,000, and to constitute the National Guard so that it may be raised to 106,000 men. In short, in the south of Europe, Spain and Italy are augmenting their armies, and a commission instituted by King Victor Emmanuel is preparing a plan which, by declaring that every Italian is liable to military service, will raise the army to 500,000 men, 300,000 of whom will be for the active army, 100,000 to fill up vacancies which may arise, and 100,000 for the reserve. The tenour of these preparations is not a menace against the peace of Europe. It is rather a guarantee of the mutual respect which the Powers ought to have for each other. If the military art, like all the other sciences, has made a progress which renders a modification of the system of armament necessary, it must not be forgotten that armies do not serve for war only. They naintain public order, they develope the ideas of discipline and patriotism, and they contribute even in times of peace to the dignity and strength of the people. " The Parliament of Northern Germany held its first sitting on the 251 of February. One of its first acts was to demand the establishment of a tribune, and the Prussian Government immediately deferred to the desire On the same day a grand banquet was given, and there were assembled at the Royal table the Sovereign and his family, the foreign princes, the Plenipotentiaries from 22 Con federate States, the Members of Parliament, and the high functionaries of the kingdom. The King of Prussia proposed a tcast to the princes, his allies, and the Saxon Plenipetentiary returned thanksfor it. "The Court of Berlin has only to congratulate itself upon this first application of the principle of universal suffrage. A. prince of the blood, the Prince Charles Frederic, and several of t he most influential members of the aristocracy, were chosen. The ancient Prussian territories gave the majority to the Conservatives. The President and Vice- Presidents chosen (Y. Simeon, a Moderate Liberal, the Duke d'Ujest, Conservative, and M. Benning sen), afford reason to believe that the Liberal and Conservative elements will be equally represented in the new Assembly, and form a check each upon the other. " In spite of partial resistance the understanding which has been cotne to between the Emperor of Austria and Hungary is a fact of high importance, which may exercise a most salutary influence upon the future position of the Austrian monarchy. " The late Consistorial Allocution of the Pope is considered throughout Italy as a new symptom favourable to the ideas of moderation which pre vailed during the religious negotiations with which the court of Rome and that of Florence have been engaged. The prelates recently appointed by the Holy Father to the dioceses which were vacant are known for their moderate opinions, and, as the Italian journals remark, are disposed to render unto God what belongs to God, and to Csar that which belongs to Cxsar. The success of the mission of M. Tonello is a great result, and experience has proved how useful and opportune was the advice given by the Government of the Emperor upon the occasion. The relations between Austria and Italy become more and more satisfactory. The Emperor Francis Joseph has received in solemn audience the representative of King Victor Emmanuel at the Court of Vienna, and the Austrian Government attaches value to the idea of developing by a system of con fidence and mutual progress the political and com mercial relations of t he Empire with the Peninsular. On her part Italy has appointed Consulates at Vienna, Trieste, Fiume, and Ragusa. The Vene tian question has ceased to cause anxiety to Europe." The journal of Ro me p abl ishes an edict relative ' and is signed, " Con to the observance of Lent of 1867 . The edict is s d st a . a t Rn e t d ui nfien, aßome,b,y Cardinal e February merc y 0 f and Bishop o f P or t o an d Patrizi, 2 Vicar-General of the Holy See." Charity to the poor is particularly recommended, also moderation in luxury, which is always vain and often dangerous. La France affects to have some knowledge of the principle of the proposed new law respecting public meetings. It says t hat it wil l no longer be neces sary to obtain prev ious p ermissi on to hold a meet ing, bu meeting.mtae inre questions a simple declaration of the object It adds, however, that the discus sion of will be interdi c t e d. et certain of the The Siecle, in referen ce to this informatio n of La France, says :—' s We believe that the officious journal is misinformed. The Government cannot think of rendering the right of meeting illusory at a moment when our neighbours on the other side of the Channel exercise that right in entire pleni tude, where weekly meetings are organised in Tra falgar-square, and England gives the example of the alliance of order with the most extensive liberty." There has been another murder in Paris. A lady of 78, named Morin, residing in the Rue des Sept Voies, was found dead in a garret over the apart ment which she occupied, where she kept her coals and wood. There was a mortal wound in the neck, made with a cutting instrument, a dagger-knife, which was left in the attic by the murderer, stained with blood. Robbery was no doubt the motive of the crime, as all the furniture had been ransacked, but what has been taken away is not known. A gold watch and chain are missing. No other par ticulars have yet been ascertained. Colonel Maigne, while walking along the Quai Voltaire, a few nights ago, about ten o'clock, fell down and died immediately from congestion of the brain. He had only arrived in Paris two days pre viously from Auxonne, where his regimentis in garrison. Colonel Maignoi had served in Algeria, the Crimea, and Italy. The first two vessels which have arrived at the temporary port constructed in the Champ de Mars are the Tibre and the Arno. They bring various products for the Exhibition from Italy, which are now being unladen. There was a good deal of snow on the ground early this morning in Paris and the suburbs, but as the day advanced there was a rapid thaw, and it has all disappeared. The weather has been dull and gloomy, and during the afternoon there was occa sionally a slight fall of snow or rain. A Spanish astronomer, who is described as a man of " pro found science," has foretold the second deluge for the 13th of this month. He does not say whether Spain only is to be swallowed up by this deluge, or if other countries :are also to be submerged. The astronomer is now engaged in calculating the amount of water which will fall ; and, of course, it will be considerable if it is to cover the Pyrenees. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. • (This Day.)

The Press of to-day says :—" Russia agrees in principle with the proposal of France to recommend to the Porte the cession of Candia, and the greater portion of Thessaly and Epirus. But she considers this proposal merely as a point of departure for the solution of the Eastern question, which requires the concession of the acknowledged political and civil rights of the Christian subjects of the Porte. England declares that these proposals entirely upset the Paris Treaty of 1856. Further negotiations between England and France on the subject have led to no result, but Russia has announced her in tention of making an official proposal for the pro visional settlement of the question on the basis of the French propositions." THE SOUTH GERMAN STATES. MUNICH, March 8. The resolutions of the military conference at Stuttgard have been ratified by all the South Ger man Governments, who now declare the object of their understanding to be the establishment of a common military organisation similar to the Prus sian military system, which will enable them to de fend the integrity of Germany in common with the other German States. The Conference deferred the adoption of a resolution respecting the future garrisons of the fortresses of Ulm and Rastall. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, March 7 (Evening). The Council of Ministers resolved to-day that, notwithstanding the adverse votes of the Provincial Diets, the principle of a general obligation to military service should form the basis of the con scription for the present year.

A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS MASTER.—BAD CASE. -John Taylor, barman, in the employ of Mr. Thomp son, of the Black Horse Tavern, Haymarket, was charged with robbing his employer. The prisoner had only been in Mr. Thompson's employ about a fortnight, and being suspected of robbing his em ployer, some money was marked by Mr. Thompson and Police-constable Butcher, 137 C, and this led to the pri soner's detection, some of the marked money being found upon him. The prisoner afterwards asked Mr. Thompson to forgive him, but he declined to do so. In answer to Mr. Knox the prosecutor stated that ho gaye the prisoner 10s. a week and board and lodging, giving him more wages than he asked with the view of keeping him honest. The prisoner said he was guilty. Mr. Thompson said he gave each of his barmen every morning £5 worth of silver, which they kept in glasses, to give change for gold, so that no change for gold should be taken from the till. Ou the previous day the prisoner took a pound's worth of silver from the glass, and instead of putting in its place a sovereign he put in a shilling. Mr. Knox said it was a very bad case—the prisoner having began to rob his employer as soon as he entered his service. The prisoner had good pay, and had no right to commit a crime of the description. Committed for a month with hard labour. THAMES. BOBBED:Sr BY A SERVANT. —Mary Bennett, a girl about 11 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing two frocks, two pairs of drawers, three petticoats, one pinafore, an apron, and a pocket handker chief, the property of Caroline Griggs, her mistress. The prosecutrix was very reluctant to give evidence, and said she did not wish to hurt the poor girl, but only to get her property back. Mr. Paget said she must either give her evidence or withdraw from the prosecution. She then went on, eta ing that she had no desire to give any testimony at all, only to obtain her property ; on which Mr. Paget said that unless she did give her evidence he must discharge the prisoner. She then said the prisoner had been in her service for three weeks, and that she had recently missed the property above mentioned. The articles were taken out of a box which was never locked. She identified a handkerchief, taken Jrora the prisoner's neck by Mrs. Collins, a female searcher. Mrs. Etty Gough, the wife of John. Gough, and landlady of the house No. 4, Alfred-street, Stepney, where the last witness and her husband rent apartments, discovered the prisoner taking away a piece of carpet yesterday, and asked her what she was going to do with it, when she replied, To sell it." She afterwards missed a chemise and towel. Martha Connor, a leaving-shop-keeper, produced Mrs. Gough's chemise land towel, which she bought of the pri soner yesterday morning. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Paget committed her for trial. CRIME AND REMORSE.—Mary Cole, a young woman, was brought up on remand charged with stealing wearing ap parel and other property, valued at £5, from a room in a house No. 14, Wellclose-square. _ _ _ The prisoner obtained admission to the house by means of a false key, and opened the door of the room, which she plundered with another false key. She was about to leave the house with her booty, when another lodger discovered her, raised an alarm, and gave her into custody. Sho had several keys upon her, and could have entered every room in the house. There had been two robberies in the same dwelling before, and the prisoner was suspected to have been concerned in them. Childs, a police-constable of the TI division, recognised the prisoner as an old offender. She was troubled with remorse after her committal to the House of Detention on remand, and made an attempt to commit suicide, in which she very nearly succeeded. She appeared to be very ill, and was again remanded for a week. The "Sunday Evenings for the People." Yesterday afternoon a case was brought before the chief magistrate, Sir Thomas Henry, at the Bow-street Police-court, upon four summonses against the proprietors of St. Martin's Hall, Long acre, under the Act 21 Geo. 111., c. 49, entitled " An Act for Preventing certain Abuses and Profanations on the Lord's Day, called Sunday," for keeping a disorderly house; the specific charge being that upon four occasions " entertainments" were given on Sunday, admission being by the payment of money, or by tickets sold for money. Sir John Bowring and Mr. Jas. Haywood, F.R.S., occupied seats on the bench. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Baxter, Rose, and Norton ; Mr. Dangerfield, of the firm of Dan gerfield and Fraser, appeared for the nominal de fendant, the proprietor of St. Martin's Hall ; and Mr. Besley, instructed by Messrs. Sham and Roscoe, of Bedford-row, for the parties conducting the alleged " entertainment." Mr. Poland, in opening the case proceeded to state that the provisions of the act imposed a penalty of £2OO, recoverable by action at law, against any person keeping a house or place in which entertainments or amusements were provided on the Sunday, and also provided that they might be proceeded against for keeping a disorderly house. Now, the entertainment with respect to which these proceedings were taken w as beyond question a musical entertainment, at which also lectures were delivered. He was bound to say that: at all these entertainments there was no disorder in the usual sense. The audience were well behaved. The pro ceedings were conducted with strict propriety, if lawful on the Sabbath-day. The bills which were distributed stated that the admission was free, and no doubt free seats were provided. The hall held about 2,000, and the free seats, which, of course, were the worst seats, were soon filled, then persons who had been unable to obtain admis sion to those free seats found that by paying their money or buying tickets they could obtain admis sion to other parts of the hall. It could not be at all pretended that these entertainments were in any way in the nature of religious services, being clearly matters of amusement. There was nothing in the nature of religious worship, although the music, it must be admitted, was en tirely of that class known as sacred music. But if these things were to be allowed they might, after commencing with sacred music, proceed by easy gradations to the secular and profane. The great point to settle was whether these proceedings were legal or illegal. After some discussion as to the fitness of the tribunal before which the case was brought, it was agreed that a case should be drawn up for a superior court, and the proceedings were closed for the present. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, there has been a very limited amount of business entered into. Sugars, however, have remained at steady rates ; for coffee late prices have been in most instances well supported ; while rice has been dull, and at rather lower rates. Tallow has been in better demand, and quotations for pre sent and forward delivery tend upwards. FATAL ...A.CCIDENT TO A RICHMOND TRAINER: On 'Wed nesday, Mr. Charles Wiuteringham, the well-known trainer, died at Richmond, in consequence of injuries received on Sunday morning. Ho was returning from the Rich mond training ground, riding his two-year-old filly, Castaway, accompanied by one of his stable boys. About a hundred yards from the Belleisle (Mr. Watson's training stables), the filly stumbled and fell, rolling over her rider. The lad immediately hurried towards Mr. Watson's, and obtained some assistance. A medical gen tleman was fortunately in the vicinity, and under his directions Mr. Winteriugham, who was bleeding freely from the mouth, but still sensible, was removed in a cab to his house in Richmond. The injuries received were principally internal, and iu spite of all that medical skill could do for him he gradually sunk, and died on Wednes day. Dlr. WilaWrthshara was in biz forty-ninth year, - " nnrt >z lamb liEll MAJESTY, &e• The Queen held a Court at Buckingham Palace, yesterday afternoon. The Grievances of the London Cab-drivers. Last evening a meeting attended by upwards of 200 cab-drivers took place at the Waterldo Tap, under the large arch contiguous to the South- Western Railway Station, " to take into considera tion the present most disgraceful state of the laws that ,govern the cab trade of London, and to propose a series of resolutions with a view to shake off some of the trammels, under which cab proprietors and drivers now laboured, and which seemed in a fair way of being increased." The placard announcing the meeting contained a notification—" To masters and men.—Now is your time or never. Let us make use of the words of the great Iron Duke : ' Up boys, and at them.' " Mr. B. WRIGHT, a coach-builder, was voted into the chair, as an independent man—neither master nor driver. In opening the proceedings he said that the time had arrived when some steps should be taken in behalf of industrious, sober, honest, but much maligned down-trodden men—the masters and cabmen of the city of London. If a proof of their honesty be required, let them go to Scotland-yard and see the amount of lost property that was left there in the course of 12 months. What did cabby get out•of that ? (" Hear, hear," and loud derisive cries.) He (the chairman) had been in the West Indies, and had seen the state of things in that country, both before and after the freedom, and he never saw slaves work so many hours as the London cabmen did, though they received better pay. (Hear, hear.) There was no class of men who received fewer halfpence and more kicks than the poor cab men.. (Applause.) He contended that the laws that governed the masters and drivers of cabs were most disgraceful, most oppressive, and most unjust. For each cab driven in the streets of London 3655• a year was paid for duty, £1 a year for a plate, and ss. a year for a badge. Was it not a disgrace that a man should be compelled to get his living under such circumstances? He exhorted all those who were interested in this movement to remain firm, to march on in battle arruy, to keep boldly on in the front, and the day would be their own. (Cheers.) Mr. BARNES, a cab-driver, who moved the first resolution, said he had been given to understand that there were people outside ready to molest them with bags of flour, black-stuff, and yellow ochre. He thought it advisable that they should be made acquainted with this fact, in order that they might be prepared to punish the offenders should they present themselves. (Loud applause, and expressions of indignation.) The resolution he had to move was to the effect that the meeting pro tested against the statements made at the recent meeting of the Society of Arts—to wit, that London has the worst cabs of any town in the kingdom, an d that it is difficult to find an honest cabman ; the statements being injurious to the future prospects of both masters and men. There were 6,100 cabs in the metropolis, and he was prepared to a ssert, after being connected with public vehicles in th e various cities of Europe, that he never found all town better supplied with cabs than London NW' (Hear, hear.) He had been driving a cab for 10 or 12 years and had never seen a cab with two cushions of different colours, as described by Mr. Cole at the meeting of the Society of Arts, or open to the va rious other objections raised by that gentleman. For 13 years Sir Richard Mayne had had.tbe con trol of the London cabs, and if he asserted that they were deserving of the reproaches cast upon them, be condemned hinlself, and it was quite time that some body else took his place. (Hear, hear, and c heer.) The speaker continued to defend his craft from the many accusations that were continually levelled against all who follow it, and asserted that country cousins often cheated the cabmen. Mr. BATES, a driver, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. TURNER, a driver, moved the next resolu tion—" That the present law relating to cab-driverS was harsh, cruel, and tyrannical, and requiredalte" ration ; that they were Englishmen, loya l subjects, and good citizens ; that they ought not to he hounded about by the police, but should enjoy 0' same privileges which were extended to other mem bers of the community." He entered into statistine: to show the amount of money invested in the Lo don cab trade, and contended that the owners an part of drivers of cabs contributed one-seventieth the entire sum raised by taxation. Mr. TOWELL, a driver and proprietor, seconded the resolution, protesting against the tast e whicii . guided Sir Richard Mayne in presiding at the la" meeting of the Society of Arts. The motion was agreed to. Mr. SMITH, a member of the South London Cab men's Club, complained that the la r g e sum °$ f £8,394 was paid in London for the inspection cabs, and the duty was most inefficiently performed_ As an illustration of this fact, he urged that in 5 teC l 011 e particular instance a cab had bee n insp rok ee Thursday, and on the following S aturday it b down when empty. (Cheers and laughter.) The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman MARKETS. -- this day. MARK -LANE.
