Rev. Dr. GARRETT opposed that part of the Bill relating to the Sunday question. In Liverpool alone 41,149 were in favour of the entire closing of publichouses on Sundays, and out of 1,300 publi cans 700 had expressed their approval of the same project. , He believed the Conference should have no sympathy with the Bill as far as it concerned the Sunday closing movement.

For instance, inn munity from increase of licence and higher assess ment was tobe — gra..ated to the present holders - of public houses, which he believed to' be injadicions. lie also thought that public houses shOuld not be opened on . Suuday, when the workingmen had their wages at their disposal, anl temptations to indul gence were strongest. But other provisions of the bill were admirable : the fact that bonds were re- . quired from the landlords and also their sureties for good behaviour, and the tax and assesSment on public houses. With regard to penalties, he con sidered it better to fix a minimum instead of a maxi mum. • With respect to the number that should exercise the veto, he thought three fourths too large. He concluded by moving a resolution approving the general scope of the bill. • • Dr. Martin, of Warrington,. and Mr. Jowett,, of Leeds, supported the resolution, which was opposed by Mr. Smith, a working man, who said the effect of the bill, if carried, would be to set class against clasS, and by -Dr. Garrett, who .said the measure was loose in principle, and that it would tend to increase the liquor trade. He moved an amend ment against that part of the proposed measure which related to the opening of public houses on Sundays. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Gale, and the disbusiiOn was continued by Mr. 'l'. Webster, Q.C., and Mr. S. Pope, barrister-at-law ; but it was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. C. SIMMONDS, a : working man, moved a second amendment; to the effect that the licensing power should be invested in the' ratepayers sitting as a petty jury ; but' this was ruled out of order, and consequently not pressed. The debate on the substantive resolution was then_ continued,. during which -it was ,especially dwelt ,upon that the regulation in the bill that beer houses should set licences for dancing on the pre- mises was restrictive, for hitherto in the proyinteS no such licenses•were required, contrary to theprac.: tie° preVailing in London. Mr. LAWRENCE, who had charge of the bill, and. Mr. STEINTIIAL having replied, the , resolution was put and carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman , terminated the procecro.w, after which the con -ference adjourned. i lk 7 IT A NSION' 1-111 - -I‘I*TROPOLITAN RELIEF FUND:FOR:EXCEPTIONAL .

The fund now being raised by the committee, of which the Lord Mayor is chairman, for the relief of the prevailing distress, especially in the east of Lon don, amounted last evening to nearly £B,OOO, and they had made grants in all amounting to £4,505 since Tuesday week to be distributed by local com mittees among the destitute people. At two o'clock the general committee held a meeting at the Man sion-house. There were present :—The Lord Mayer, Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Alderman Finnis, Mr. Sheriff Lycett, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. W m. Leaf, Mr. Christopher Gabriel, Mr. W. J. Max well, Mr. Philip Cazenove, Mr. Robert Wigram, the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, the Rev. Wm. Rogers, Mr. Frederick Thompson, Mr. Henry Goschen, Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Mr. Gilliat, Mr. John Holms, and Mr. Gibbs. The committee started yesterday with a clear available balance of about £4,420. There were many deputations from the distressed districts in waiting. A local committee from the Tower-hill district, which is very large and wretchedly poor, inhabited mostly by dock labourers out of work, attended the meeting and brought under its notice, the deplorable condition of the labouring classes I there. Of a population of 23,000, at least 16,000 are labouring people ordinarily in the receipt of daily wages, and hundreds are represented as standing idle about the entrances to the docks from day to day waiting for employment. The Local Relief Committee are spending about £lOO a day in sus taining the starving prople. A case was mentioned, among others, where the relief visitor found a man and his daughter in almost the last stage of destitu tion in a wretched apartment. They had parted with almost every available thing, except in what they stood. The visitor ordered some instant re lief, and the girl went out to obtain it ; but before she could return with it her father had died. In St. Mary's, Newington, there is a population of 43,000 —extending on the north from Dover-road,c southward, and on the south by Kenninton-pa. r classes. g fully A threeb About o t u r a t hs third of working labour peop i w o h f orn the are w o o f rk t t of work. Ma n y of the mo stly employed in the b uildin g trades and factories --are ou large firms had di sc h arge d great numbers bader poduced great des late severity of the w eath h r eir hands, and the tit u tion and conseque nt illness. St. Mary's, White chapel, has a popul a ti o n of about 2 4 , 000 , including St. Jude's as we ll, and comprising all Whitechapel no rth of Alie-stree t. Four-fifths of them are of the labouring class, and a large proportion of them are in want. They are mechanics,dock labourers, coster mongers, sempstresses, tailoresses, &C. The distress is ascribed to want of employment, especially in the ' docks, a general paralysation of trade, the frost, exhaustion of means, and emphatically improvidence. The general character of the people is industrious, though poor. The Whitechapel Relief Society has been in active operation for about a month, distri buting bread, coals, and meat, and about 150 gallons of soup daily. The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL, a member both of the Mansion-house Committee and that of the Bishop of London, took occasion to say, in reference to the destitution in Whitechapel, that on Wednesday, ac companied by the clergyman of the district and a city missionary, he visited the district of St. Paul's there, and that he never saw anything like the pre vailing wretchedness. The people were literally starv ing, and he could give names and details which he was sure 1-; ould harrow the feelings of the commit tee. In places into which he went he saw children stark naked. Again, he said, the whole waterside trade was paral.yse , l, especially in Rotherhithe and PXHIBITORS at the PARIS EXHIBITION, A who ADVERTISE in "THE SUN,can" h the SE RVICES of A SPECIAL AGEN T in PARIS awe , whose hddress can be obtained at " The Sun" Office.

Morley; Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., and the Rev. W. Rogers, against the committee, with the funds at their disposal, - under- ---- takiog to relieve ordinary' distress; the relief of which properly devolved upon theteOr laW 'orga nisation, and against any part of the - fund going to case the poor rates. They coi.tclided .. that they were a committee to mitigate purely. exceptional, as dis tinguished from ordinary, distress in the aggi•egate, and especially exceptional distress among the labour ing classes bordering both sides of the river, where, from a number of concurring causes, the destitution was unprecedented.. It was elicited in the course o f the day that in severa instanc e s local committees 'had been expressly formed to make applications to share in the fund at the disposal of the Lord Mayor's committee, and that little or no local effort had been previously made, even in suburban neigh bourhoods with a considerable infusion of wealthy inhabitants to relieve the exceptional distress. A case in point was furnished in 'West Kensington, where the rates are only 71d. in the pound, as corn_ pared with ss, and even 6s. in the pound in soraeof the poorest districts of the metropolis. A small de putation from West Kensington attended yesterday to ask for a grant, but the committee unanimously and emphatically declined to entertain the application. The committee yesterday made the following grants :—To the Tower-hill district, £3OO ; St. Mary's, Newington, £lOO ; St. Mary's Whitechapel, £2OO ; the llaggerstone Soup Kitchen, £27 ; a dis trict in Saffron-hill, £25 under special circum stances; Lambeth (waterside district), £2OO ; St. Thomas,.

AN ADMIRAL'S BIRTHDAY.— -The village of Hun manby, in Yorkshire, was on Saturday the scene of great rejoicing occasioned by the gallant Admiral Mitford having reached his 86th birthday. His numerous tenant farmers, each mounted on horseback, assembled at eleven o'clock at the Great Gun Battery, from which a portion of the 2d East York Artillery Volunteers fired a salute of nine guns, after which a procession was formed, accompanied by the corps' band, passing through the village and grounds of the park, and finally drawing up in front of the hall. Hero Mr. Thomas Auburn, stet ard, in heraldic form, called upon the venerable admiral, who, with Mrs. Mitford, Mr. and Mrs. Amhurst (their only daughter), and their five children, came to the door, when Mr. John Simpson, a tenant farmer, read an address. The presentation and re ception of this address was deeply affecting, the bravo old tar, with his grandchildren clinging around him, causing a starting tear from many. Mr. W. A. T. Amhurst (high sheriff of Norfolk), his son-in-law, thou returned thanks on behalf of the admiral in impassioned and grateful, terms. Hearty cheers were given, after which the procession pro ceeded to the White Swan, where a most b Anitiful and sumptuous dinner was provided. After the cloth was withdrawn, Mr. Atnhurst was called to theachfautlri bum , w h en loyal, patriotic, and other toasts were iv pers, and enthusiastically received, thagtoefn i " Sabbath The m orn, when all was kept up until the approach of E:ish gentleman retired, heartily wishing this fine old g T he festivity A dmrl and Mrs. Mitford" being vociferously may continue in good health. lia below the highest point of TILE FLOODS IN NORTH YOdßlCreSclleldßeEd.TeUryplittOtlem, mid night on Tuesday the flo ods the water being only some 18iu ; Considering ul.3sr i d n e g e m th e a d t a ti , i i e h il ig o l o i d fi l o v o a d s; , nu ti r , e o S th a a t try can be readily imagined.

John Murray, Albemarle-street. ~ land not from inclination, that the labouring classes had recourse to the places the number of which they were now endeavouring to diminish. , . Lord LICHFIELD suggested that Mr. Stsintlial's amendment be withdrawn. This proposal gave rise to some discussion, during which it was urged, on the one side, that it was the object of the Conference rather to get possession of facts from persons well acquainted with the sub ject in hand than to speciffany particular remedy at present. It was admitted on all hands that the Beerhouse Act had proved a sad f kilure. Promises to amend it had been made by the Home Secre taries of two successive Ministries, and had not been carried out, but the practical experience of those who had studied the question would cer tainly produce its effect on Parliament. The, amendment went the length of. the Permissive Bill, and even further. On the other hand, it was urged that Government alone should not be re sponsible for the licensing system ; that the rate payers should share in it, and the sooner they awak ened to the consciousness of their duty in the matter the better for the community; that if the Excise were not the fit depository of the licensing power, and the magistrates little better suited for dispensing it; and the appointment of stipendiary magistrates was not approved, there was no remedy left but that some special board should be , eleete d by the rate payers. The amendment was, however, withdrawn. The Rev. Mr. JACKSON (one of the deputation from Leeds nominated by a public meeting of the - People of-that borough) then proposedxveryOngthy amendment, to the effect that the power ofgr4uting licenses should remain with justices of the peace ; that all licences for houses where exciseable drink was sold should be granted by the magistrates, and not, as in some cases at present, by the Excise ; and that ratepayers, either directly upon certificate or indirectly through municipal councils and boards of guardians, should have the power of restricting ma giarates iu tlteis grautiJg of licnecs.. ".fx;e rev. gentleman said the local magistrates woke those upon whom a greater pressure of public opinion could be brought to bear - than could be imposed on'any other conceivable body:- Beerhouses in rural districtSwere often as-bad as publichouSes, and required the su pervision and vigilanc6 of the authorities. The Most -Rey. Dr. MANNING ,said the licensin g power was at present in the hands of those whowere neither discerning nor impartial. His present, opi nion, however, was that the local magistrate'S should retain it, for they Were' most to .be' recommended as depositariesof the power, both on account of their position, their intelligence, and their - acquaintance with the cireunistancesof their respective districts. Stipendiary, magistrates would have to get their knowledge of places through strangers, and that must necessarily be superficial. ' The ratepayers should also have their share in the power, for the'y had the greatest interest in the morality of their own neigh bourhoods, and possessed.the strongeSt and "most certain judgment as to.what Was good and bad for the localities in which they resided: s - In a conversation which followed, in which Mr. Patterson, the Rev. - H. Solly, Mr. Holden, - Mr.,'S. Pop; Mr. Brainston-Beach; M.P., Mr. SaunderS,. and the Rev. Mr: Marsh; of - Oxford," took part, many diverse considerations were urged,• among others, that stipendiary magistrates 'should be appointed. That they.worked well in other cases was shown by the fact that the magistrates of the metropolitan police-Courts were paid Officers as well as those in .otherlarge towns and :cities. The Board Of Guardians "were not Prcyper depositories of the licensing - power, for they were of all others the' niest open to corrupting inflitenceS, and a moral as Welt as a legislative" force Would have to be em ployed before working . men . could be induced to practise habits of sobriety and prudence. There was a difficulty with regard to the manner in which the,l249:ss would exercise their yeto lor Many of them would abstain from it, and the old aTuses continue either wholly or partly. The only remedy for that would be to compel them to exercise the privilege just as they are now compelled to serve on petty juries. Great benefit had resulted from restrictingthe hours during which publichouses could be kept open on Sundays, and that was a strong argument why they should be closed altogether on the Sabbath. There was no principle in the present system, and licences were granted not on account of the respectability of the applicants,lnt in con sideration of the size of their houses and the acorn modation they afforded. The main law of political economy was being violated and ignored ; for whereas, with regard to every other class of com modities, demand created supply, in this case the supply was allowed to induce the demand. The Hon. S. L. TILLY, of New Brunswick, said that the question before the conference was a most important one, and not to be dealt with in a day. He was of opinion, from his own experience, that free trade in liquor extended evil. In Nova Scotia the ratepayers had the right to put a veto on the decision of the grand jury. The question was, how to limit or annihilate the system, and though he was not prepared to specify any means of carrying out the proposed reform, he strenuously advised them not to recommend free trade in liquor traffic. The noble CHAIRMAN agreed with the first and second parts of the amendment—namely, those which proposed that the licensing power should be left with the magistrates, and that all places where in intoxicating drink was sold should be under the same control. With reference to the third part of the amendment, he could not so fully agree. Ile thought it would be advisable to raise the qualifications as to rating of the landlords of publichouses, and altogether on the point to which he was speaking, he believed the Liverpool Bill (of which the provisions are given below) was the more satisfactory measure. The amendment was carried unanimously. The Rev. Sir LOVELACE STAMER said that the ratepayers should be judges as to what were the wants of a district as regarded a supply of liquor, and also suggested that women should be in no case allowed to hold licences. He moved that the debate on the question be adjourned for three weeks. The motion for adjournment having been carried, Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS, Q.C., M.P., said that under the present system memorials for and against the licensing of publichouses were got up by open canvassing, so that when magistrates came to judge of the merits of a particular case, they were obliged to believe neither one party nor the other, but make their decision on their own personal knowledge after inspection. That was a difficulty they had to contend with, and they should endeavour to arrange the details of any scheme adopted by them, so that the canvassing of rateyayers and householders (for they too were to be taken into consideration) should be prevented. Large well-fitted houses were built at the corners of all our new streets, and he was not afraid to say that rich brewers and distillers were instrumental in a great degree in bringing about such a state of things. If a restraining power was to be employed, they should be careful that it be not turned into an instrument of evil. Mr. LAWRENCE, who came as a deputation from the magistracy and corpo ration of Liverpool, gave a sketch of the clauses of a bill adopted for introduc tion into Parliament. The provisions of the mea sure are that there should be one licensing autho rity, one system of licensing ; that there should be one licensing charge—£3s for large cities, and graduated according to population in the smaller towns ; a reduction of 30 per cent. to be allowed to houses which did not trade on Sundays. The fit ness of the character of applicants for licences was to be judged by the magistrates and a certain rate able value to be set on public houses ; the wants of districts with regard to a supply of liquor to be estimated byj the ratepayers. Publichouses were to be open, not as now, from 4 in the morning till 1 a.m., but from 7 in the morning till 11 at night. On Sundays they were to be open from 1 to 3 in time afternoon, and from 8 to 10 is, tlie Mainz, power NOTICE OF REMOVAL.

The sittings of the Conference which has been' convened in London for the purpose of promoting the revision of the present licensing system were re sumed yesterday morning in the Lower Room of Exeter Hall, Lord Lichfield presiding. Among those present, in addition to those who took part in the deliberations of the previous day, were Mr. Mon tagu Chambers, Q.C., M.P., Mr. W. W. Bram ston-Beach, Hon. S. Tilly, of New Bruns wick, and Mr. Baker, J.P., of Gloucestershire. In opening the proceedings, The noble CHAIRMAN said that the words ascribed to him in our report of his speech delivered on Tues day —g. that the law at present was sufficient to correct abuses if it were efficiently administered"— did not convey entirely what he meant to express. What he wished to submit to the Conference was [between the two statements we can recognise no material difference] that the provisions of the late were sufficient if it were vigorously and severely enforced. After some correspondence from gentlemen who wrote to express sympathy with the object of the Conference was read, The noble CHAIRMAN reminded the meeting that they were now to proceed to the discussion of an b amen dment to the second resolution, proposed yes terday by Mr. Steintha l, of Manchester. The se cond resolution proposed tha t the power of granting licenses for the sale of i ntoxicatin g:liquor to be drunk stipendiaryortsimilars magistrates, to th os o p w n r h e s o t would i h d e e pd overmise r eh b ol s y periodicaldbe vested in a . The amendment courts sug gested that a new Boa rd should be appointed, revising barristers. after themanner adopted in the election of i ßoards of Guardians—that is to say, by the ratepayers. The Rev. Dr. GARRETT, of Manchester, said he was of opinion that the Government should retain their responsibility on the subject, and hoped that the power of licensing would not be given to small local bodies. Mr. TAYLOR said there were great difficulties in the way of administering the licensing system. £75,000,000 per annum were spent in the purchase of intoxicating liquors. Statistics proved that there were 25,00) convicted drunkards, but very few publicans were punished, although the fact was that where ss. or 103. was the nominal fine for drunkenness, publicans could be mulcted in sums ranging from £5 to £2O for selling drink to persons iu a state of intoxication. The Rev. Dr. RICHARDSON, a Catholic clergyman, amid considerable interruption, said that working men required some relaxation as well as those of the upper classes, and if they closed beer and public houses they should open up for them other institu tions to which they could have recourse during their leisure hours.
