ROEBUCK AT SHEFFIELD. The tenth annual meeting of the Sheffield Cham ber of Commerce was held in the Cutlers' Hall yes terday—Mr. Alderman Jackson in the chair. Tie report dealt with several questions that have arisen during the past year in connexion with commercial legislation—the French and Austrian treaties, the modification of our commercial relations with Ger many that will follow the "redistribution of States," the American tariff, &c. The chamber regretted that it had been found impossible to obtain the at tention of the Legislature to any practical measures promoted by chambers of commerce, on account of many disturbing causes. Some interesting statistics of Sheffield trade with America were furnished by Mr. Abbott, the American consul. In 1864 the value of the goods exported from Sheffield to America was £782,226 ; in 1865, £823,772 ; in 1866, £1,545,878. The value of the steel alone ex ported to America from Sheffield in 1866 was up wards of , £700,000. The PRESIDENT, in a review of the trade and commerce of the town during the year, gave sta tistics showing the enormous suffering and loss that bad arisen from the strike, and consequent lock out, that prevailed for sixteen weeks in the file trade. The loss to the trade of the town by that dispute would not be much less than £200,000. The loss of wages alone, he was informed, would amount to over £95,000. The-president referred to the change that was apparently approaching in the commercial policy of Austria. That great empire was one of their worst customers, standing thirty-fifth in the list of the countrien with which they did business. The really educated claaseA in Austria were in favour of free trade. The president next spoke of the pro tectionist policy of America, which threatens such disaster to Sheffield, and of the relaxation of the Canadian protective system. The proposed com mission of inquiry into the Sheffield trade outrages was briefly referred to, and on this point the presi dent emphatically vindicated the right of every man to carry his labour to an open market and make the best possible terms for himself. edition, 2 vols.

He said—Mr. Chairman, sir, lam very much obliged to the chamber for the kind expres sion of opinion respecting myself, and I am also deeply obliged to Hr. Atkinson for the manner in which he has proposed the vote of thanks. But, sir I think my proper business here is to listen, and not to talk. I came dawn to receive instructions from those whose interests are concerned, and I have been really very much edified, if I may use the term, by the report which has been read by your secretary. The business of a member of Parlia ment, I take it to be, is to receive all the informa tion and important facts that he can receive from the Chamber of Commerce, and that then he should apply his mind, as a statesman, to render the know - - ledge so acquired useful in shape of laws. The busi ness of a lawyer is supposed to require education. The business of a physician is also .supposed to re quire some education ; but statesmanship, like gig driving, is supposed to come by instinct. (Laugh ter.) I have found that two matters are very con stantly confounded together, namely, the supplying us with information of facts, and at the same time the giving us the opinions of the parties who supply those facts. I receive both with the greatest pos sible thankfulness, but I keep to myself the power and the right to do what I like with the evidence that is brought before me. (Hear, hear) The evi dence of opinion is important, but the evidence of fact for a legisl6tor is still more important, and I do hope, being an honorary member of your worthy body, that when you think it worth while to communicate, you will communicate it to me, and it shall receive, as all such communications ought to receive, the greatest care I can possibly give to it, and the action shall be immediate ; and, as Mr. Jackson said, I will do the best I can with the information you so supply. (Applause.) There are one or two matters in the report which I wish to make a few observations upon. The first is the Austrian treaty. We know that every country in the world, with the single ex ception of England, has a notion of protecting trade; and, therefore, we need not be at all surprised that the German merchants of the Austrian empire have acquired a no ti on of the benef i t o f pro t ec ti on . Wh en we find th a t our own colonists, sen t ou t by Eng land, in a ver y few years after they have acquired se l f - government have put on protective duties by which the manuf ac t urers o f E ng l an d are subjected to taxation of the highest kind—pretty nearly to the amount of exclusion—we need not be surprised that the Germans, who have not that sort of connection with us that our colonies have, do the same thing. (Hear, hear.) But, Sir, I have had an opportunity lately of addressing my old Canadian friends, for it is pretty well known that a great part of my youth was passed in Canada. I met them the other day, and I opened my rniud to them. I told them very plainly that England derived no earthly benefit from her colonies, except the due which she might derive from them as being the recipients of her manufac tures; but that they in their wisdom had done their utmost to exclude the manufactures of England. But I hope this will not continue ; that they may see the right way, and return to us some acknow ledgment of the benefits we have conferred. We have given them our language, our laws, our Mora. turn, and our protection whenever it was requited: Fur all this we got tiilthing, 11 ro se 4 x 3 f is ee l tritag, auc>< g 14;1110 -1 1— • •- i goc protection th r o wn n our faces, That, I believe, is upon the decline.

They are really professional men, and they are chosen, not by rotation, but by the body of creditors. They say it works well in Scotland. Why the whole of Scotland is not equal to Londoc. I know what will be the consequence, that there will be first of all a struggle, a tussel between various creditors as to who they shall appoint their assignee. They say that there will be a certain number of persons that will devote themselves to the business of as signee ; that there will be A, B, and C, and so on all down the alphabet, and then you can choose your own assignee. That will be the first thing—a fight amongst the creditors. The next is, the chances are that the men won't be really so well instructed as the men were who were the official assignees under the old bankruptcy law of Lord Brougham. Nothing could be worse than the original bankruptcy law. A great improvement was made by the bill Lord Brougham brought in. There were great mistakes in his bill ; but the mcst mischievous thing, I think, ever done to trade by legislation, excepting protection, was Lord West bury's Bankruptcy Bill. (Hear, hear.) That has been found out, and you all know, Sir, that the mercantile world are up in arms at the present state Fof the bankruptcy law of England. We shall have another experiment ; they are going to try the Scotch system. I hope the Scotch system may suc ceed ; my belief is that it will not ; and I shall take the opportunity which, I suppose, will be afforded me, of stating my views on the bankruptcy law whenever it comes before the House of Commons. And I hope none of you will fancy I am going be yond my duty if I oppose your views in this matter. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I have one more word to say, Sir, and that is in regard to America. It is not simply a desire for protection that brings about the protective tariff. There are many parties in that country, and every party fights for their assist ants. There are large bodies of men who want protection, and in order to gain their help, as party men, protection is established throughout the United States. If you want a proof of the direful effects of protection, you will go to the United States. At this present moment—l wish my poor countrymen knew it—going there they fancy they are going to ParadiSe—they are going rather to the other place. (Hear and laughter.) But now that Canada has taken the line of free trade, the consequence will be—and you will see it immediately—that there will be so large a smuggling trade to Canada that I have no doubt Sheffield will benefit. (Laughter.) I hope this will be the result, and that in the fights now going on on that continent we at least shall be gainers. I hope you will not fancy I have done any great thing in coming here. I came down in four hours from London ; I felt no difficuly in get ting into the carriage—l came down, in fact, very much like a trunk—(laughter)—in a very comfort able way. If I can upon any occasion, by coming here, do any service to Sheffield I hope you will make no " bones" (if I may use a vulgar phrase) in asking me to come down, and I shall be most happy to wait upon you. (Applause.) servative principles the triumph of which they were met to celebrate that day. (Loud cheering.) Mr. GOIZST, after warmly thanking the meeting for the 'kindness shown him, said there was no doubt they should next session have to face the question of reform. Speaking as a private person, he did not hesitate to express his opinion it was desirable the Reform Bill be postponed. If the question were taken this session no other legislation could possibly take place. Reform would be tl►e first and only question. lie believed there were a number of other subjects demanding immediate attention, and first among them army reform. With regard to re form, he thought public opinion was not ripe for the question yet. The party who cried out for re form and an extension of the suffrage—men like Mr. Lowe and Lord Grosvenor—as soon as they were brought face to face with a concrete bill, shrank back aghast ; so he thought it would be well if the question were hung up a little while to give them time to make up their minds as to what a Reform Bill meant. An experiment in universal suffrage was going on in Prussia and America, and it would be better to wait and see the result of that. Dr. FAWCETT proposed the health of Mr, Forsyth. Mr. FORSYTH, in his reply, said he differed some what from his friend Mr. Gorst on the subject of Reform, and he hoped the policy would not be one of inaction with regard to that question. There was an excellent opportunity to bring in a safe and satisfactory measure, and there was a noble career open to the Government if they carried it. There would then be the questions of law reform, bank ruptcy, education, and many others, to enter upon, and he hoped attention would be paid to the means of:determining some punishment for the authors of such great commercial frauds as had of late been a disgrace and a scandal to England. Ile believed that any Government that would, grapple with these questions successfully would deserve and obtain the gratitude as well as a verdict of the country. Other toasts having been proposed and re sponded to, the proceedings terminated. NOTICE OF REMOVAL. JDEFRIES and SONS' NEW CITY SHOW ROOMS.—The New Oval-shaped ALEXANDRA.

On Thursday evening a Conservative festival was held at the Guildhall, Cambridge, which although strictly local, was attended by 600 persons. The meeting was ostensibly in honour of Messrs. F. S. Powell and J. E. Gorst, the sitting members, but was certainly no less so in that of Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., who contested the borough and was returned at the head of the poll in 1865. Mr. Alderman BALLS, who took took the chair, after giving the usual loyal toasts, proposed "The Borough Members." Mr. Powicu., in his reply, after expressing his gratitude to the constituency of Cambridge for the confidence they had placed in him, said it would be no more possible to speak in this month of January, 1867, without reference to a Reform Bill than it would have been in January, 1866, without allusion to the cattle plague. No man dare repudiate this question who had any regard to the safety of the State, as its consideration was demanded by a largo body, who year by year were becoming more capable of exercising the rights and fulfilling the great duties of citizenship; but he desired to refute an eft-repeated and dangerous fallacy. In his mind the safety of the country did not dwell in votes, but in laws ; not in the suffrage, but in the ad ministration. It was too common for those interested in popular subjects to argue before popular assemblies that there was less liberty in England than in any other country be cause the suffrage was more restricted with us ; but he would ask that man who was dissatisfied to go to France or Prussia and see what came of freedom in those countries. He saw nothing in what was now taking place in America that England ought to imitate, but much that she ought diligently to avoid. Doubtless there must shortly be a change in the re presentative system in England. He did not say that they ought to confine themselves to the settle ment of 1832—that change was not necessary ; but he did say such change should be Made with cau tion. He trusted some Government would be able to deal with those difficulties ; he had yet to learn that a Conservative Government was more unfit to grapple with them than a so-called Liberal one. If this question were to be got rid of, it could only be by bold and comprehensive legislation. It could lilt tie tuSiio aside by a timid statesman, for, if so, it would again and agditi aflite riod be a stumbling block in the path of beneficial iegisiatioii. tic trusted the Legislature would never yield to a me nretti believe g e dezoc h r i a m andwhcyen h exhibitionseeaidthat the o of Parliament force.Let t of England once eteratved, the supreme power in this English land now enjoyed by the three estates of the realm would pass under the govern ifient Of men who mistook frenzy for reason, lauda tionti grid thaw, who followed them as the greatest triumphs of gateetttavehlv i and the most brilliant achievement of political ddielligd: (Cheers.)

The Steamboat Springs. The spacial correspondent of the Detroit Free Press gives the following description of this singular phenomenon, dated from Star City, Nevada :—lu my letter of the 9th November to the Free Press I promised to give you a description of our boiling springs. These springs are situated about twenty miles from Carson City, which is the capital of the State. They are called " Steamboat Springs," from the noise they make, which sounds like several steamers discharging steam. These springs cover an area of about three acres. The water is boiling hot, and the escaping steam can be seen for several miles before sunrise, and the atmosphere in the vicinity is filled with the smell of sulphur. At the springs are bath-houses, where at least 200 patients are accommodated. There are also two fine hotels. The water cures the rheumatism effectually. There are crevices in the rocks where the water can be seen boiling at a depth of thirty feet. Here is also a spring which is called the breathing spring. The spring is shaped much like a well. The water recedes to the depth of tin or twelve feet, and re mains calm for five minutes, and then commences to boil, and rises until it shoots in the air above ten feet, and in five minutes it begins to recede. I tried its operation for at least half an hour. I have no doubt but years ago the whole country was subject to volcanic eruptions, for lava can be found all around these springs. Steamboat Springs are be coming quite noted as one of the greatest curiosities of the age, and they are yearly visited by hundreds of tourists. Lady Franklin, the widow of Sir John Franklin, has written much about these springs. She visited them some five years since. There are many other boiling springs in other portions of the State, but none of the magnitude of Steamboat Springs. The City of Star contains about 6,000 inhabi tants. It is in Star District, Humboldt County, and its main street is the overland stage road. Daily the stages pass to and fro with the mails from New York to San Francisco, and the tele graph wires give us news at all hours from every accessible point on the globe. The discovery of mines in this country caused thousands to visit us ; towns were built, mills erected, and at this early day we are now exporting from Humboldt County alone, the amount of $BOO,OOO in silver bars each month. There are at present 15 mills running at Star City, using 115 stamps. in addition to these there are now in progress of erection seven other mills, making a total of 22 mills. Scarcely a week passes in which we do not hear of the purchase of some mine by Eastern or English capitalists, who invariably take steps for the erection of a suitable mill on their mine. The Rothschilds own largely in our mines. The Humphrey mill, of Star City, gave as their results of crushing 693 tons of ore, $159,639.65, being an average of $230.36 per ton. As an evi dence of the steady increase in the production of silver in Nevada, we submit the statistics of the yearly report ending September Ist, 1866, of the amount produced in Star District. These statis tics are obtained from the city assessment roll, amounting in round numbers to $4,168,000. The wealth of this region is almost inestimable, and the receipts of some of the milling companies put the riches of some oil wells to the blush. The mining wealth of Nevada has induced the formation of many new companies in most of your leading cities on the Atlantic coast. The State of Nevada, with a population of forty thousand inhabitants or less, took mit of her mines in gold and silver bullion during the year 1864, as is shown by the statistics of exports, more than $30,000,000. The Indian Carrying Company. The report of the directors of this company states that the instructions for closing the Bombay agency were carried into effect in September last. The losses there had arisen not so much from individual tWtd of mismanagement as from inadequate amount of business to bear the heavy standing charges, and to compensate for the high spring which the company were compelled to pay dur e t t n,, the cotton mania, as well ia from causes con ed itith the condition and administraii2n of the rail ways at that Presiden c y during the period la ques tion.ldhbee aline - A portion of t he roil toc k b rolling sof w ose f erre d direct to the Bengal agency, mbay at Indere road from Agra joined that of Bo A considerable n umber of ey the waggons had also been th w ere much wanted for sent to Madras, whe the increasing business. The progress at Madras had been, on the whole, satisfactory. While the loss by the business in this Presidency in the year end ing the 30th of June, 1865, was nearly £2,500, the loss during the first six months of the present ac count did not exceed 2.105, and in the second six months was about £lOO only. But for the greatly increased cost of cattle food, wages, and cart and bullock hire (amounting to £4,800 over the rate for the preceding year), caused by the famine and cho lera, and the impossibility of increasing the com pany's charges in proportion, there was no reason to doubt that the Madras accounts would have shown a fair profit. The gross receipts had increased 100 per cent. during the 12 months, - and amounted to nearly £50,000; on the whole working at Madras from the commencement there had been a profit. Iu the Calcutta agency the business had been much re stricted by the inability of the East India Railway Company to accommodate the great amount of traffic brought to it, and by the systematic prefe- , rence for some time given by its servants in the allotment of the available waggons to another and rival carrying establishment, to the great detri ment of this company and others.

Upon the whole operations of the company at Calcutta and :11adras a balance of profit ISMS shown of £21,522. From this £16,788 had been, from time to time, written off for loses at Bombay, the greater portion during the two latter years of the account.

The directors lrul no reason to doubt t'iat the business in Calcutta i , l \[adras, which bad now been established for three ye mrs, would go on improving, and they expected that measures of economy could be carriel out which would lead to the profits hearing an increased ratio to the gross receipts. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Friday Evening. The result of the inquest at Dungarvan you have received. There was a report that two more men had died from the effects of injuries received at the election. This report was conveyed in a telegram supplied to the newspapers on Wednesday last. It has been contradicted by the Cork Examiner, which says that one man pursued by the Lancers has died within the last few days of fever—not of wounds, There was a meeting in the city of Waterford yesterday, attended by 200 of the most influential citizens, to adopt measures for the relief of the great distress that prevailed there at present. The Mayor presided. Resolutions were moved by Mr. W. Mal comson, Rev. I'. Kent, P.P., the Dean of Water ford, and Messrs. Laler, Barron, and Grubb. The sum of £2OO was subscribed on the spot, including £lO each from the two bishops, Dr. Daley and Dr. O'Brien. There was another meeting held in Waterford for the purpose of taking measures to obtain the assist ance of Government in improving the harbour. It was a special meeting of the Harbour Commissioners. The following resolution was adopted : That the chairman, Mr. Clibborue, Mr. Denny, Mr. Kent, Mr. Slattery, Mr. Malcomson, with our,engineer Mr. A. Stephens, bo appointed a deputation to wait upon the Board of Trade and Lord Derby, to press upon the Go vernment that the port of Waterford has imperial claims to an outlay for its improvement ; that this board are willing to subsidise their income so as to raise a sum not exceeding £17,000 in part payment of the necessary outlay in renewing the bar at the entrance of this harbour ; that the city and county members bo solicited to join the deputation ; and that the Harbour Commissioners of Ross be requested, by deputation or otherwise, to support this application. At Belfast on Weinesday three brothers named M'Closkey, residing in Irvine-street, were arrested by Head Constable Jacques on suspicion of being connected with the Fenian conspiracy. The persons arrested are shoemakers. The prisoners were brought before Mr. O'Donnell, R.M., at the police-office, and remanded. In the course of the day they were taken to the county gaol. Yesterday the seven persons arrested in that city in connection with the discovery of a large quantity of arms and ammunition were brought up before Mr. Orn►e and Mr. O'Donnell, resident magistrates. After a lengthened investigation, Mr. Rea called for the discharge of the prisoners, arguing that non production of the proclamation issued by the Lord- Lieutenant vitiated the case in its inception. The four prisoners were commited for trial on the charge of having bullets in their possession, and remanded upon other charges lodged against them. Yesterday morning Denis Dowling Mulcahy was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, to hear the judgment of the Court on the writ of error which was argued before their Lordships last November. The prisoner was convicted at the recent Special Commission for the city of Dublin, under an indict ment framed under the Act 11th and 12th of Vic- toria, called the Treason Felony Act. lie was con veyed from Mountjoy Convict Prison in custody of two wardors and one of the civil guard of Portland Convict Depot, in a police van, escorted by a detach ment of cavalry police with drawn sabres. He was in the convict dress and handcuffed ; he was placed at the side bar, and the sister was allowed a seat near him, but was not permitted to hold any com munication with him. The case having been called, Chief Justice White side proceeded to deliver judgment. Having referred to the pleadings in the case, he proceeded to give a history of the law of treason from the earliest times to the Revolution, and thence down to the Phoenix Conspiracy, in which he had himself prosecuted as Attorney-General, in 1859. He gave an exhaustive resume of the authorities upon the subject, and then, coming to the case before him, he examined the arguments of counsel for the convict on the points reserved. He said : On the whole the Conit were constrained by their duty to give judgment for the Crown. They wore only to declare what the law is. If that law is to bo altered it must be done by a higher tribunal. His lordship then proceeded to refer to the challenges (which had been overruled) by the prisoner to the array, and to the poll. The former was that the panel for the trial was taken by the Sheriff from the jurors' book for the year 1865, and not from the jurors' book for 1866, the then current year. He held that both challenges wore radically defective in point of form ; but even were they not so, upon the construction of the law applicable to tha mattq he held that the panel returned at the beginning of the sittings of the Commission, Nov. 26, 1865, was the proper panel from which to select the jury faro trial taking place at an adjournment of the Commission. With regard to the challenge to a juror for being over the ago of GO years, ho had come to the conclusion that the jury acts dealing with the question of disqualification contemplated property and residence alone, and did not refer to age. As none of the errors had been sustaine d, the j ud g ment against the plaintiff in error must stand. It was satisfactory that cethdeuprrei,soannedrowf oeuveldryh;vrievitihe ogebewnehtiict hofthboothlawforamilsowoefdprfoo; a complete answer to this i n di c tment. If he found that any o f those points cou ld be decided in favour of the pri soner, he would cheerfully decide accordingly ; but it was equally his duty in the present case to pronounce judg ment for the Crown. Mr. Justice O'Brien expressed his concurrence in the judgment as the Court on the two main ques tions ; but differed on the point raised about Mr. Boothe, one of the jurors, who was over 60 years of age. He held that a juror must be between 21 and 60 years of age. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald and Mr. Justice George agreed fully with the Lord Chief Justice. On the application of Mr. Longfield, Q.C., the prisoner was then remanded to the custody of the governor of Mountjoy prison upon the execution of the judgment standing against him. A large crowd assembled in the hall and vicinity of the court dur ing the day. If the Court had decided the other way, the decision would have affected all the Fe nian convictions at the Special Commission in Dub lin in 1866, for they were tried by juries taken from the jurors' book made in 1865. An international regatta is to be held on the Seine, in which the Imperial Commissioners invite Great Britain to take part.
