~ .. NONE Y MARKET AND CO MMERCIAL IN TELLIGEN et, TWELVE O'CLOCK. .7 A steady business is reported to-day in the Dis count Market, and also at the Bank of England. The rates at which accommodation can be obtained do not exhibit the slightest change. Bar gold to the amount of £7,000 was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday. It is notified that Mr. J. H. Crawford, late of the Bengal Civil Service, has joined the Board of Directors of the East India Land, Credit, and Finance Company. The directors of the Consolidated Bank have issued their report, preparatory to their meeting on the 24th iust., in which they declare a divi dend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. . In tho fo re i gn an d co l on i a l pro d uce markets dur ing the last few days there has been a moderate de mand for sugar, which has fully maintained previous rates. The operations in tea have been to a fair ex tent on the part of the trade ; while in rice only mo lerate trans ictions have been reported, at about former r at es . C o ff ee h as 4 eeu in god request, particularly superior qua "es of plan tation Ceylon, which has realised full prices. In tallow only moderate dealings have taken place, chiefly of a speculative character, and quotations for both present and forward delivery show no ma terial alteration. The Union Bank of Australia have given notice that they are authorised by the Wellington (New Zealand) Government to negociate a loan for £50,000 in debentures of £lOO each, bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. The princi pal will become due in July, 1886, and both princi pal and interest are made payable in London. Tenders will be received up to Wednesday, the 30th inst. The Ocean Marine Insurance Company have Issued their report to the Ist December last. It appears from the accounts that there is a balance on underwriting and interest account of £215,027 after payment of all adjusted claims and all official charges and expenses. It is recommended by the directors that this amount shall be applied as fol lows :—£lo,ooo in payment of ss. per share, addi tional interest. ; £40,000 in payment of bonus of £1 per share; £lO,OOO added to the reserve fund, thus increasing it to £50,000 ; £7,630 7s. 6d. to unap propriated reserve-467,630 7s. 6d. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram, this morning, the French Renter were 69f. 27c. Heavy. There is still a general feeling of heaviness, but for what reason beyond the inertness of speculation it is difficult to conjecture, monetary and political relations developing no new feature of importance. Consols are 908 for money and account. Continued activity has prevailed in the dealings for the New Chilian Scrip, but at the moment the Market has become quiet, speculators being very Shy now that it is known that about £17,000,000 have been applied for, while the amount to be allotted is only £2,000,000. Spanish Passive Bonds have advanced I, viz., to 22 i on one of those spasmodic rumours of a set tlement ; no credence, however, should be placed in the " oft-told tale," until there is something tangible 14 the shape of an officialdocument, " signed, sealed, and delivered." Spanish. Certificates, on the other hand, are de pressed 7 1, the latest prices being 131 owing, it may be assumed, to the circumstance that they are not included in the assuring prophecy of the riltuour referred to. Increased heaviness has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, and the dealings have been very limited. Great Eastern and Midland have each declined 1 ; Great Western, 4 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, London, Chatham, and Dover, I l allehester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South- Eastern, each 4 ; while North-Western have im proved 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain very inactive without, however, any material change in value. Great Luxembourg are marked 124; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, 154 ; Great Western of Canada, 131 4 ; and East Indian, 107.1 1 074. Mexican have advanced 4, to 171 184 ; and Italian, 4 to 544 4 ; while Turkish 5 per Cents. are trill at 293 ; and Greek at 144. The Russian Loan Scrip remains at 14 a prem. The directors of the St. John d'El Itcy Mining C onapany (limited) have received the following l'eport, dated Morro Velho, 17th Dec., 1866 : Produce for November, 57,434 oitavas ; cost for do., £ 1 .0,566; profit for do., £11,604.

(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Channell and Piggott.) BUTLER V. KNIGHT. Mr. Huddestone, Q. 0., appeared to-day in support of a rule which he had obtained on Saturday calling on the plaintiff to show cause why there should not be a non -suit or a now trial on the ground, in the first instance, that there was no case to go to a jury ; next, that the verdict was inconsistent with and against the evidence. It ap peared that the plaintiff, Miss Butler, had brought an action against a party named Brougb, in Staffordshire, and that the defendant acted as her attorney in the suit. She then commenced an action against the defendant on the ground that he had Ni ilfully neglected to enforce a judgment she had obtained in the first suit, and that he entered into a settlement with the defendant Brough against her instructions. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and awarded damages, which was another ground why the learned counsel moved that the verdict should be set aside. The learned counsel said that Mr. Knight was one of th• most respectable professional men in Staffordshire, and that the settlement he made was most profitable to the plaintiff. He contended that all liabi lity on the part of an attorney ceased when his client had obtained a judgment and cited, Archbold's Practice, Chitty's edition, page 85, and several other authorities, in support of his position. The verdict in the first suit was for £3OO, and the compromise was for £lOO, the attorney justifying what he had done by the fact that the defendant had no effects and hie relations advanced the money. The plaintiff recovered damages of £2OO against the defendant in the present suit. The Lord Chief Baron considered that the defendant having received instructions from the plaintiff subsequent to the judgment in the first suit, rendered him liable for any act he did on her behalf. He quite agreed with the learned counsel (Mr. Huddlestone), that, except for the compromise he made, his client would have got nothing ; but, in his opinion, he was clearly liable to the consequences of what ho had done. Ho thought, however, that the damages were excessive under the circumstances, and suggested they should be re duced by £5O. Mr. Powell, Q.O , on the part of the plaintiff, said that he would communicate with his client, who would probably accede to the suggestion of the learned judge. The other judges concurred with his lordship, and the case accordingly stands over until the plaintiff hits decided in respect to the suggestion of the court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-S TREE T. USING Tux Timm —James Rush, a rough-looking fel low, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and assaulting police-constable Marks, 120 0. The constable stated that he saw the prisoner at the top of the Haymarket yesterday afternoon, very drunk, and making a disturbance. He requested the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and threatened to knock him down with a broom he had in his hand. He then took the prisoner into custody, when he became very violent, and seizing his hand bit it severely, and also kicked a per son who came to his assistance. Brazier, 158 0, said that on going to the assistance of Marks he found the prisoner kicking violently, and on the way to the station the prisoner tried to bite him. The prisoner said ho had, assisted a man in putting some goods into a van, and that the man having stood seven or eight half-pints of rum he got drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would never pass over the brutal practice of biting. It was a practice disgraceful to human nature, and showed what low wretches there were. The prisoner would be fined 285., or 14 days. "Maggie" (Newcastle-on-Tyne) has forwarded 10s. for the poor people Long and Folds, whose case a few days ago appeared in this journal. THAMES. MATRIMONIAL SQUABBLES.—Hyam Rees, a middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with as saulting Eliza Roes his wife, who said she had been mar . ied to the prisoner 17 years. She had tasted all the ;,:tters of matrimony, but none of its sweets, and her life bad been like that of a harrow. She prepared dinner for her husband at 2 o'clock yesterday, and he did not return home till 8 o'clock in the evening. She was then out with a female friend, who came home with her at 10 o'clock, and remarked what very nice little rooms she possessed, and how happy she must be. All is not gold that glitters Mr. Partridge—Nover mind your nioe little rooms, tell me what your husband has done, and make haste about it. Witness—He did not like the woman I brought home with me, and he began to swear at me, and punch me, and gave me a black eye. I have summoned him to this court before, and he has been bound over to keep the peaco to wards me, and is under recognizances now. The prisoner said he was grossly provoked by his wife last night, and she struck him three times on the head with a candlestick before he hit her. The Wife—He told that to the police last night, and I denied it. There is not a mark on his head. Inspoctor Brady, of the K division, examined the pri sonor's cap handed to him, and said there was a grease mark outside, and it was broken within. There was no mark on tho prisoner's head. The prisoner said his wifo was a drunken and dissi pated woman. He paid a fine of 408. for her on ono occa sion, and a guinea to a solicitor on another occasion to got her out of trouble. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said he recollected the complainant well ; she was not at all a sober woman. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had no business to strike his wife, and he should bind him over to keep the peace towards his wife for six months, and ho must pay the usual leo on ontoring into his recognisances, rkiE SUN, LOS MN, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1867.

The work of searching the ornamental water for the bodies of the persons still missing, and which there is but too much reason to believe still remain in the lake, was resumed this morning. Mr. Reinke attended with two of his divers, and the spot selected for their operations was to the cast of the long island, and opposite the residence of Mr. Foster. The glass early this morning gave eight degrees of frost, and consequently the ice had increased in thickness and solidity. The toil of again breaking up the surface of the lake had to be performed, but when it had to some extent been cleared of ice the boats also vent out to their different stations. A most praiseworthy effort is being made by Mr. King, of Great Portland street, Mr. Joblin, of Douglas-road, and Mr. Walford, of York-terrace, to collect subscriptions to pay the poor men they have engaged to clear the ice off the water. It was stated at the inquest yes terday by Mr. Russell, from the office of the Com missioners of the Public Works, that, with the ex- ception of Mr. Heinke and his divers, every person engaged iu the melancholy work had up to yesterday been paid ; but this statement mustsimply have ap- plied to the few park-keQpers, police-constables, and Mullane Society's men, and not to the great num- ber of men engaged in the bitter cold and laborious work of dragging the masses of ice off the water to the bank. The poor fellows have worked excessively hard, and had it not been for the exertions of the gentlemen we have named above they certainly would have been unremunerated for their labour. Yesterday Mr. King engaged and paid over one hundred of them, giving to each 2s. for his day's work from the sum collected in &Ming amounts from the spec- tators on thg banks of the water. To-day he has set 200 men to work, and it is to be hoped the subscrip tions will enable him to continue his humane labour. It is gratifying to know.that subscriptions have com menced to flow in from quarters least expected. Last evening Mr. Douglas, the master of Mary lebone Workhouse, who has consented to act as treasurer of the fund, received £1 10s. from " A few friends at the Red Lion, Coventry," and 15s. from " J. 8.," so that there is a hope that while the necessity exists for the labour of the poor fellows, who otherwise would have been without employment at this inclement season, they will regularly receive their small and well-earned wages. This morning a great stir was made in the park by the appearance of a large boat, which had been strongly lashed in a cart, and a party of " under water men," headed by G. and W. Gooden, Lower Fore-street, Lambeth, who attended as volunteers to assist in the dragging operations. In their boat, the Patience, they brought with them a most ex tensive supply of tackle, which, it appears, they use when engaged in weighing sunken ships and barges from the bed of the river Thames, and with this they propose to " sweep" the bottom of the lake. Their boat was launched as soon as a convenient spot could be found amidst the large mounds of ice, some 12 or 13 feet high, now hourly increasing on the edge of the lake facing Sussex gardens, and steps were, immediately commenced to get their apparatus into work. Before, however, the boat was pushed off Mr. King, anticipating that his subscriptions woult enable him to perform his promise, regularly engaged the eight men, guaran teeing them £4 a day for the use of their boat and their own services. This arrangement put the boat entirely under the direction of Mr. King and his active committee, by which means orders were enabled to be given for the searching of particular spots hitherto undisturbed. The inhabi tants of the mansions facing the scene of the cala mity have in many instances acted in a most charit able manner to the poor men engaged in removing the ice. One lady, the other morning, sent no less than 18 gallons of hot coffee and brandy to the men, and in some cases the ladies came personally with their servants, loaded with warm comforts, which they distributed in the most liberal manner. The statement that all persons engaged in the work have been paid seems to have shut up this charitable supply, as this morning not a pint of anything was sent to the men—a matter to be regretted. Even now there does not appear to be any recognised directing head of the operations, consequently each person does that which to him seems best, a circum stance which sometimes leads to much annoyance e n h o a u rg g e ht of to t h h a e v i e ce b , e a e n n d s e e ni nt po b w y er G ed Ove to rn g m i e v n e t th t e o and difficulty. Im me di ate l y a f ter t h e acc id ent some p ta e k rs e 9 necessary directions ; a matter which would not have perhaps cost over £5OO or £6OO, an outlay no one would have regretted, but nothing of the kind has been done, and not the least assistance has been offered by those in authority, who appears to have looked upon the calamity with the utmost indifference. Mr. Russell yes erday stated that the noble lord, the First Commissioner of Works, was most anxious to render every assistance in the matter. With such an inti mation, it seems as if the old enemy, "red tape," had prevented his lordship's wishes being carried into execution. We have fortunately no addition to make to the list of dead, whilst ten persons put down as missing have returned to their friends. There were a few skaters and sliders on portions of the ice this morning. ''"i4 Oltrt 1. ,1 fro . L ar 4 HER MAJESTY, &c. OSBORNE, Jan. 21. The Queen drove out this morning, accompanied by Princess Louise. Princess Beatrice drove also. PI ince Arthur and Prince Christian walked in the grounds. The Duke of Edinburgh, attonded by the Hon Eliot Yorke, left to-day for London. The Prince of Leiningen left also. The Baronetcy of Tichborne. - P - [(From a Correspondent >f the Morning Post.) WINCHESTER, Saturday. It is a source of considerable satisfaction to those who have followed the intricate tale of the baronetcy of Tichborne to have something definite at last to announce, and when that something is a positive confirmation of previously doubtful circumstances involving almost incredible incidents and vast inte rests, the pleasure is undoubtedly increased a hun dredfold. The baronet has returned. So says his mother, the Lady Doughty Tichborne. Of this fact I can speak with the greatest confidence. At the end of last week Sir Roger Charles Ti.thborne went over t.) Paris and saw the Lady Doughty Tichborne, who immediately recognised him and acknowledged him as her long-lost and long-looked-for son, exhibiting, as was natural, the most profound emotion. But it would seem that, though Sir Roger has in creased so much in bulk, his health has not been improved by his roving life. Soon after his arrival at Paris he was taken ill, and up to the last tidings received by intimate friends he is still confined to his bed-chamber. The most eminent physicians of the French capital have been summoned to attend upon him. The anxiety of Lady Tichborne on his ac count is intense. Hardly can she be prevailed on to leave the bedside of the sufferer, but they remain together from morning till night discoursing upon the strange events of the past. Every precaution that prudence could suggest was taken that the interview between them might not prove too much for the lady. Andrew Bogle, who has taken such a conspicuous part in the proceed ings throughout, preceded Sir Roger to Paris, and announced that he would follow. Almost simultaneously, another gentleman, in the interests of the present Sir Henry Alfred Doughty Tichborne —the minor—started for the same capital, and had several interviews with her ladyship, to whom he gave the benefit of his counsel and experience, but it would appear without accomplishing the object of his journey. Since the recognition of the baronet by her lady ship it is curious to observe the altered conduct of some of the intimate friends of the family. When one spoke to them previously upon the circumstances of the case, they assumed the most mysterious airs, nodded vaguely, and either made no reply to the questions addressed to them, or answered in a man ner worthy of the oracles of old. Now all is changed. The same persons are bold and candid and open. They acknowledge he is the right man—the "round man in the round hole"—and assert that they be lieved he was from the first. They are ready to meet every objection. Sir Roger's peculiai conduct throughout is characteristic (they say) of the man. He was always eccentric. This accounts for his privacy—his refusal to see intimate friends—his mystifying of Mr. Gosford—•all is consistent. All that has transpired from the time Sir Roger sailed for Sydney up the present hour is confirmatory of his character. In one word, had he not so acted he would not have been Sir Roger But, though Sir Roger Charles has returned, ac cording to the acknowledgment of his mother, it would not be safe to assume for one moment that he will be permitted to enter on the undisputed possession of the family estates. To all present ap pearances, he will have to fight a stubbirn foe in the law courts. Already, it would seem, the hostile forces are arrayed, and a long law-suit may result. OUR LAST TRIUMPH AT SEA.—The SUneeSS 'ul termination of the great ocean yacht race s announced in our telegraphic columns this morning, Jan. 1, and will be read with delight and exultation by all those whose hearts are stirred with the thoughts that Columbia rules the sea, in , peace as well as in war. It was no holiday pastime this crossing the Atlantic in mid-winter, on board these trim little vessels. Nor yet was it foolhardi ness, for we had the assurance of that long-experienced and able Philadelphia yachtman, Captain lt. F. Loper, that these now triumphant yachts were staunch as they were pretty, and per fectly- safe and sea-worthy. On the part of the yachtmen who made the adventurous trip it was a manly defiance of the winds and the waves, at the season of the year when they are most aggressive ; an indubitable proof that real pluck and genuine daring are an essential component of the American character. Our English cousins received the brave young sea sovereigns with American hospitality, with cheering and firing salutes, tender of Govern ment dock-yards and congratulatory letters, and dinners and banquets innumerable. Even the Queen took such a deep interest in the enterprise of the young American sea kings that she gave special orders to be promptly apprized of the arrival of the yachts. Of course the Henrietta won the race, carry ing off the snug little sum of $90,000 as a substantial laurel of victory. We accept the good fortune of the Henrietta as a matter of course, because she is owned by an American journalist, who accompanied his vessel on her long race. The national triumph is, that we have proved to the world that the United States can build and navigate sailing vessels that can cross the Atlantic, at the worst time of the year, in thirteen days and twenty-two hours. Our own merchants and shipowners will profit from this nautical lesson, and all will honour the staunch yachts llenrietta, Fleetwing, and Vesta, their cap tains and able crews, and heartily congratulate Captain J. G. Bennett on his well-earned victory and handsome New Year's gift of s9o,ooo.—Phila delphia Inquirer. TEN FAT BEASTS DROWNED.—A very singular accident occurred on Friday in Sir Tattoo Sykes's park at Sledmere, an the Yorkshire Folds. The large pond was frozen over, and snow was upon the ice. One beast got upon the ice and was immersed. The bellowing of the drowning beast attracted the others to the spot, and they one by one followed to the place and were gradually im mersed by the breaking of the ice and every one drowned. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—ABERDOVEY, NORTH WALES, Monday.—During a heavy gale from the E.S.E. yesterday (states Mr. David Williams, of the Customs) a schooner was seen with a signal of distress flying. She had failed to beat up the harbour against the gale, and was anchored close to a bank on which a heavy sea was breaking, and there was danger of her going on the bank, as her anchors were dragging. Tho lifeboat Royal Berkshire, of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution, and a steam-tug thereupon promptly put out to the assistance of the vessel. Tho steamer, however, having to return for a towing hawser, went on a shoal, where she remained. The lifeboat was heartily welcomed by the schooner's craw, who were nearly exhausted with their labours. Some of the crew of the lifeboat went on board the vessel, set one of liar sails, and took her under the lee of some sand hills which offered shelter, and there she anchored. The master desired that the lifeboat should stand by them in case their vessel should again drive, and the boat accordingly remained alongside all night. This morning, the weather having slightly mo derated, the lifeboat assisted in bringing the schooner safely into harbour. She is the Jane Ellen of Aboryst with, bound from Neath to this port with a cargo of culm. The cost of this lifeboat. was benevolently collected a short time since in Berkshire by Captain Stephens of the Reading Bank, and presented to the National Lifeboat In stitution, and this is the first service she has had the oppor tunity of rendering since she has been placed on her station.

SUGAR--The demand has been inactive, although fully late rates aro demanded by holders. In the refined market the supply continues very limited, and quotations remain firm. COFFEE. — Plantation and Native Ceylon descriptions have been dealt in to a fair extent at fully previous rates. In other quarters there has been no change of importance.

To-day the market is steady at 445, January to March delivery ; 44s is offered for March ; 44s April and June ; and 45s 6d would be accepted for the last three months on the spot ; 44s to 44s 3d is paid for new Y.C. ; 43s 9d old ; 45s South American ; 44s Australian; and 44s town tallow, net cash. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) The market opens quiet. Sales probably 5,000 bales. We understand that her Majesty's Government have protested against the decision arrived at in the case of the Tornado, on account of the irregularity and infor mality of the proceedings in the Spanish Prize Court. There can be no doubt that the evidence against the Tor nado is calculated to arouse the gravest suspicions as to her ultimate destination; and it is unfortunately only too clear that if the ship be legally condemned as a Chilian ship of war her crew may be regarded and treated as pri soners of war. Altogether the case is one of considerable complication ; but there is no reason to apprehend that the Spanish authorities will not eventually do justice in the matter.—Herald. A rumour was current in Bombay, when the last mail loft, to the effect that preparations had been ordered by Lord Cranborno for an expedition to Abyssinia. Up to the present moment no information has been received in this country as to the result of Mr. Flad's and Colonel Merewether's mission to King Theodore, so that it is very improbable any such step should have boon taken. The report is at loast premature, and wo caution the public against attaching any importance to it.—.Ucra ...• .10.110 Share! 2.1.0 2L 2.11.4 3, 2.14.0 8.3.6 3.V.0 10.8.

JOIIN BRIGHT AND HIS WORICPEOPLE.— Mr. John Bright has again and again been charged with being unpopular with his workpeople in Rochdala, hooted from his premises, and with placarding his mill with " No Irish need apply." The slander has been repeatedly dis proved, yet it is still reiterated oven by gentlemen in holy orders. However, now the workpeople of Mr. Bright think it high time to interfere, and the other day they met in a body, and appointed a deputation to wait upon the hon. member for Birmingham to ask him to consent to receive an address from them, assuring him of their respect, and regretting the calumnies heaped upon him by various in dividuals undeservedly. ',Mr. Bright consented, and the workpeople are now arranging to hold a meeting on an early day. Tho Italian papers state that, owing to high winds in the Adriatic, Venice has been inundated to an extent which has never been equalled within the memory of any of the inhabitants. The Piazza of San Mark was so flooded that boats and gondolas passed over it, and the whole of the space had the appearance of a vast lake. SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE BLYTH AND TYNE RAILWAY.—On Saturday morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, a man named William Clough, fireman, 19 years of age, in the service of the Blyth and Tyne Railway Company, was killed whilst at work on an engine passing along the line near Backworth. Ho was busy among the coke whilst the locomotive was in motion, and in passing undet Backworth Bridge his head came in contact with the woodwork, knocking him backwards. On being picked up by the engine driver ho was quite dead.—North Daily Express. THE COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT'S HEALTH.-WO regret to find, by a letter in the Monde, that that eminent author is still far from being re-established. The Count writes—" After eight months' treatment, the doctors abandon me to nature, without giving me any definite hope as to the term of my illness. Ilowovor, they say I shall be cured sooner or later, and that I shall be bettor in the spring, without promising me a complete recovery by that time." A LONDON STREET STATUE OF SITAKSPERE.—A gentleman of business in the City of London suggests, through the Athenaeum, that a bronze statue of Shakspere should be set up on that part of the Thames Embankment fronting the Temple-gardens, and offers a premium of fifty guineas for the best design, twenty fur the second, and ten for the third. As this gentleman is not connected with either literature or art, and desires a strict i ncogn i to to b e preserved, the generosity of his offer will meet with gene ral admiration, and we hope to see the Sttituo erected, Mr. Ferrand and Mr. Bright, M.P. The gratuitous and coarse attack lately made by Mr. Bright upon Mr. Ferrand has created great in dignation among the factory operatives in Lanca shire, and they have urged him to appear among them, so that they may show Mr. Bright their opinion of his conduct, and Mr. Ferrand that they can discern their real from their pretended friends. In reply, he has addressed the following letter to their secretary : St. Ives, Bingley, Jan. 17, 1867. I have to thank you for your letter and papers. I have read all relating to the agitation now going on in Lanca shire very carefully. Tho state of things which I foretold for both employers and employed is taking place. Foreign competition is taking away the masters' profit; and reducing by degrees Eng lish wages to the continental level. This is a question which must now be discussed, I trust, with good feeling, by both employers and employed; it ought to be kept entirely apart from politics, so far as party influ ence and feeling aro concerned. Depend upon it were 1 to take part in the discussions at the present time it would give great offence to many of Lord Derby's supporters in Lancashire, and would create excitement and distrust in stead of peace and confidence. I would urge upon you, and all who discuss the wage and short-time questions, to use friendly language towards the millowners. The "fierce competition" they had to contend against in foreign markets is a thing they did not credit during the period of the battle between protection and free trade. The people of this country adopted Manchester free trade, and it can only be modified or repudiated by the united decision of employers and employed. Above all, I would urge upon the factory operatives to avoid strikes, and not to allow people residing out of Lan cashire to interfere in any disputes which unfortunately may occur between them and the manufacturers, and to discuss in the spirit of friendship with their employers all matters in dispute. I thank the operatives for their kind feeling towards me. I have spent 40 years in their service, and I am happy in the knowledge that they have not forgotten me. Were I again to appear among them publicly it would be only as a promoter of peace and harmony between factory owners and factory operatives.—Believe me, yours truly, Mr. John Hull, &c. W. FERRAND.

An enlargement of the suffrage may, they seem to think, be desirable, but they also believe that the masses of the working classes neither desire nor are fit for the suffrage. " Our principle is," said a gentleman not connected with political life to the writer, " not that all men are fit to vote, but that it is our duty to educate them so that they may make a proper use of the privilege. Evidently, these men of yours know nothing of the duties or responsibilities of self-government. Our people are trained, by their incessant control of local governments, to take an intelligent pa) t in the control of the Federal Government." An article in the New York Times, which has often attacked the English governing class for " keeping down" the working men, acknowledges a total change in its opinions since our Reform meet ings. It declares its conviction that the English political system is approved by the bulk of the people, and that they have no desire to change it.
