Tile difficulties of a firm engaged in the cotton trade, at Liverpool, have been freely discussed the last few days. It is now feared that the arrange ments attempted to be made for supporting the house have failed. The name of the firm is Colin Campbell and Son, and it is stated that the liabili ties will reach from £400,000 to £500,000. The following, on the affairs of Messrs. Dent and Co., of China, is from the London and China Telegraph :—" The first arrangement attempted in the matter of Messrs. Dent and Co.'s failure for a composition of 2s. 6d. in the pound having been found to be invalid, another meeting of creditors was convened on the 4th inst., at which it was pro posed that a deed of assignment should be executed of all their estate for the benefit of the creditors. As such a deed can only be executed in China, the creditors in this country will be under the necessity of sending out powers of attorney to their agents there to sign it on their behalf. Should the bulk of the creditors agree to carry out this plan, the bank ruptcy will be annulled. Mr. Pollard, who has i:ately arrived from Hongkong, attended the meet ing on behalf of the bankrupts."

ITALIAN OPERA.—The new tenor Mongini proves to be an old friend, since he sang in Paris some ten or twelve years past with some success, and during his long absence from our boards his fame has been increasing, slowly and surely as that of Marcellus, in those ruder climes where people prefer the lion's part, as it is nothing but roaring. Railway en gineers can make their engines rush about with lightning speed, but they are puzzled to contro them ; an effectual break is the great difficulty with them as with Mongiui, for when he lets loose his lungs and opens the floodgates of his voice there is no holding them. And this voice is powerfull rather than pleasing ; it lacks the impassioned ten derness so essential to a tenor; it ranges from Tamberlick's ut diese, which he fires off with great effect with his other big guns and rockets in the pyrotechnic " Pira," down to the very confines of the basso. It would be desirable for him to leave his brazen helm in the coulisses, for the Parisians have been so accustomed to see Mangin in his brass helmet that they detect a family likeness to him in Mongini. Mlle. Krauss's Leonora and Mlle. Grossi's Azucena were admirable. They had to struggle against our reminiscences of Grisi and Al boni, and they prevailed. Poor Cresci had to struggle against his obesity, but he did not prevail. It is unfortunate for one who looks so very like a whale to sing "Il balen." The success of the " Trovatore " was complete, and must convince the Impressario of the possibility of dispensing with Mlle. Patti when harsh necessity imposes the privation. This, however, will ceaso to exist shortly, for the versatile Prima Donna is studying the roles of Leonora and Desdemona. We shall be curious to see how Pasquale's Norina will acquit herself in " Otello" and the " Trovatore." May we be permitted to hope that no mischievous consellors will suggest her to deck her brows with the chaplet of Belliui's Druidess. MENUS PLAISIRS.—There aro but few amongst us who ever expected to find themselves in this transpontino playhouse which shoulders the Sor bonne and the Cluny Museum, yet its walls now fail to contain, scarcely to keep out, the crowd which flocks to sec Anthony. Still fewer are there amongst us who fought their way to the Porte-St.- Martin in 1831 to greet Antony on his first appearance, yet those few do not forget Mme. Dorval's " Je su i s une femme perdue," or her still finer " Vous voyez ctte femme, c'est sa maitresse ;" or when her injured husband burst open the door and Bocage drew the poignard from her breast —" Elle m a rdsiste, je l'ai assassinde." In those days there were giants on the earth. Is it that we grow older or become blase, or how is it that the actors tear their passions to tatters without moving us, leaving us high and dry upon the beach gaping like oysters when the tide goes down ? Who shall ever forget that memorable evening when Alexandre Dumas came forth into the foyer in green coat, of the very cut of those curious fossil garments which you may see on the backs of Count Mole and M. Dupin in the great picture at Versailles, where Louis Philippe sits amidst his counsellors. And the public ovation was vented in a form most disagreeable to him, since his enthusiastic admirers tore his coat to shreds that they might possess a souvenir of the author of Antony. Many lustres have shed their light upon Dumas' head since those days, yet there he sat again in his loge, and was again ready with his tears when Mlle. Duverger handed into his baignoire a huge bouquet, the floral tribute of a venerable Muscovite's appreciation of her rare abilities. For Mlle. Duverger has here proved herself to be a great artist ; simple, yet sublime, in the sublime passages of the play, and they are neither few nor far between, and with the good taste which is inherent to a Parisienne she left in their ecrins those gems which have so often dazzled us. La ferricre's Antony we might have thought excellent had he not been preceded by Bocage. The theatre is crowded nightly. Age has not impaired Rossini'sgallantry. He has presented a corbaille to Mdlle. Marie Battu, filled with choice flowers, and enhanced the value of the gracious gift by being his 'own commissionaire on the occasion. " The Grande Duchesse of Gerolsteiu" is about to abdicate in favour of Madame Tautin, after a reign of unparalleled brilliancy. Madame Schnei der's absence will not be eternal as her charms ; however, we may hope to see her return shortly to the Varietea, where she has so long reigned supreme, for she is already on very bad terms with the manager of the Chatelet, and inflicted a severe scolding upon him three days past be cause he was absent at the last rehearsal of " Gulliver." She wrote that "une artiste de sa valeur, was entitled to more respect. If Mine. Schneider be bent on teaching theatrical managers good man ners, she has a difficult task before her ; for these petty tyrants, dressed in their little brief authority, e kings and princesses bow befor th em , an d bringe stage themselves to believe in their ri g ht di v i ne t o s govern wrong. The " Jolie Fille de Perth" was announced at the Lyrique for Wednesday last. On driving up to the theatre through the plunging rain, we found that M. Ca.rvalho had again fooled his public. The ajfiehe coolly announced that the Fair Maid of Peith would not be played. He has just substi tuted Massy for Michot in Romeo's role, but no protest will be raised against this change, for the new Lyrique tenor sings his duet with Mme. Car valho with more than Michot's sweetness, and with m uch more feeling. M. de Lesseps states that the new Suez Canal loan has been subscribed, and that the water route to India will be completed in 1870. A PLANTATION PREACHER.—The Bishop of Tennessee is reported to havo told the following story at the recent Church Congress. Ho said :—'• I was visiting a plantation, and the bell was rung, when the negroes, num bering some 500, gathered in the parlours and piazza of the house, belonging, unfortunately for himself, to a bachelor. After reading a chapter to them I preached, and said that I would hold a service the next day to baptize such as should be presented. I baptized between 70 and 80, and after a service I fell into a conversation with 'Uncle Toney,' a plantation preacher. I asked him about various Christian doctrines, and finally said, And what about the resurrec tion ?' With a very solemn face ho replied, You see, master, ointment is eintment." Yes.' Well, you see, dero is a speritual body, and dis here body made out of dus'.' Yes.' Well, you see, when de angel Gabriel comes down from heaben, and goin' up and down tha riber Jor dan, a-blowiu' of his trumpet and do birds of heaben singin', and de bolls of heaben ringin', and de milk and de honey rainen down on all do hills of heaben, he will bring do speritual body wid him down from heaben, and take dis here body up out of do dus', and tak tho ointment and rub it on, den stick togedder—and dare dey is.'" LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF TIIE METROPOLIS.—The Home Secretary having fixed the sth of November to re ceive a deputation on this important question, it has been resolved by the 3letropolitan Municipal Association to hold a conferenc e of vestrymen of London, to consider the bills Introduced by Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., in the Vestry-hall of St. James's, Westminster, on Monday, the 4th of Novem ber, the vestry having kindly granted the use of the hall for that object.

AIARLBOROUGII-STREIT. FIFTEEN TIMES CONVICTED.—John Holloway, a middle-aged man, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. John William Horsford, chief officer of the Mendicity Society, deposed to seeing the prisoner begging in Bond-street. He then took him into custody. Ilorsford said he had a list of previous convic tions, which was as follows :---August, 1855, Marl borough-street, before Mr. Bingham, 7 days; Oct., 1855, before Mr. Hardwick, 11 days; Nov., 1855, 21 days; July, 1856, before Mr. Beadon, 1 mouth; Dec., 1856, before Mr. 13ingliair, 7 days ; Jan., 1857, before Mr. Beadon, 11 days ; Feb., 1857, 14 days; Feb., 1857, 14 days; Aug., 1857, 1 month ; Jan., 1833, 1 month ; July, 1838, 1 month ; Oct., 1858, Bow-street, before Mr. Henry, 1 month ; Oct., 1859, Marlborough-street, before Mr. Beadon, 1 month ; Dec., 1861, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, 1 month ; Dec., 1863, before Mr. Knox, 1 mouth. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. THE CONDEMNED CON VIM WIG-GINS AND BORDIER. The exertions that have been made to procure a commutation of the sentence of death i n the case of 'Wiggins have been fruitless, at least rip to a late hour this afternoon. No Instructionii have yet reached any of the officials at the Home-office that the Secretary of State for the Home Department will interfere to prevent the sentence of the law being carried into effect in both cases as origin.ally fixed, on the 15th. 102 U 3 62 63 91 06 133 ISS 1 8 9pl 115 117 1 lap 64 66 109 112 56 67 45 17 68 69 8 10 143 148 WESTMINSTER. AN UNGRATEFUL RETURN.—Elizabeth Henry, a young woman, was charged with stealing a poor labouring woman's shawl. Mary O'Connell, the prosecutor, living at 19, Oakham-street, Chelsea, stated that on Tuesday week the prisoner went out and got locked up in the station. She sent for prosecutrix's husband, who bailed her out, and prosecutrix accompanied her to this court and paid a small fine inflicted upon her, to prevent her being locked up. After this the prisoner accompanied her home, where they sat chatting together for some time, and then prosecutrix, who was overcome with fatigue, dozed off in her chair. When she awoke she found that the prisoner had disappeared, and with her prosecutrix's shawl, which she had taken off and thrown across a chair back. Mr. Selfe inquired what evidence she had that prisoner had taken it. Prosecutrix replied that she was seen wear ing it when she left the house. She made inquiries, and after a great deal of trouble found her last night and gave her in charge. Prisoner said that she had been drinking so freely that she did not not remember anything about the shawl, excepting that she believed it had been stolen from her in the street after she left prosecu trix's house. She was remanded. THAMES. ITALIAN REYENGE.—Frederick Antonio, an Italian, appeared before Mr. Benson to answer a charge of assaulting William Silvey. .Pelham, solicitor, opened the case for the prosecution as one of a very aggravated nature. The prisoner had attempted to stab the prosecutor with a large sack hook, a formidable weapon. The prosecutor was a foreman, and the prisoner a labourer in the service of Mr. Arnold, a stevedore, and both were engaged in stowing the cargo of an outward-bound ship. Antonio was neglecting his work and lounging in the galley, or cook-house, on deck. Silvey asked Antonio what he was doing in the galley, and told him to mind his work. Antonio called out, " Hold your jaw." Somo more words ensued, and Antonio said, "I'll cut your throat," leaped on a beam upon which Silvey was standing, struck him twice, and then grasped him by the throat, and made an attempt to stab him, or rather to tear him, with a sack hook. Silvey retreated backwards on the beam and escaped with a scratch and the loss of a part of his whiskers. The com plainant's life was really in great jeopardy, and he narrowly escaped being precipitated into the hold of the ship, a depth of 14 feet. Witnesses confirmed upon oath the statement of Mr. Pelham. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the complainant called him very bad names, and that he did not intend to hurt the foreman. Mr. Benson said the complainant was only doing his duty to his employer, and the defendant was bound to obey his orders. lie fined the defendant 10s. and costs. The money was paid. ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. Yesterday, at the Town-hall, at Cambridge, Augustus Henry 'Ward, of Oldfield-house, Wis beach, merchant, and alderman of that borough, was charged under the by-laws of the Great East ern Railway Company with wilfully interfering with the comfort of another passenger travelling on that railway, in the same carriage, on the 15th day of August last. Mr. Straight, barrister, appeared to support the complaint, and Mr. T. H. Naylor, barrister, for the defence. The case was to have been heard previously, but the sum mons was dismissed, owing to a misunder standing. Mr. Straight having opened the case called Miss Lucy Williams, of Cedar Didsbury, near Manchester, who deposed, with great propriety, that she was an crphan. On Thursday, August 15, had been staying with her guardian, Mr. Chamberlin, of Norwich. Left Norwich by the train about half past ten in a first class carriage. To Ely travelled with a lady. At Ely the lady got out, leaving wit ness alone. First saw Ward walking up and down the platform. He looked into the carriage, and ultimately spoke to her. He said he thought he had seen her before. Witness said, " Indeed 1" He asked if he should travel with her. At first she did not answer, but then said she liked travelling alone. He got into the carriage the moment before the train started. She had a copy o f Punch. He asked what it was, and she handed it to him. He looked at it a minute or two (said the witness), then leaned across the carriage, and took hold of my hand and pressed it, and I tried to take it away. He asked me where I was going, I said, "To London." He said, "I should like to -come and see you. Will you give me your address?" I gave him a wrong address, and said I would rather he did not. I gave him, " Mrs. Wilson, 3, Wilton-place, Belgravc-square." I have heard that name in Manchester. I gave him that address because I thought he was mad, and was afraid he would come and see me. Just then we passed a station, and he said, " I wanted to get out at that station, but now must go on to Cambridge." He was then looking out of the window. As soon as we passed the station he tried to draw me on his knee, and kissed me several times. I resisted, and went on to the scat opposite. A few minutes after I stood by the window, and he put his arms round my waist and kissed me again. He said nothing. I resisted, and ho let me sit down. I asked his name, and ho said " Henry—would you like to know my other nam e ?" Did no t answer, and he added " I'll tell you, but shOuld not like every one to hear of it." He said " Henry Ward." Ile noticed the bag by her side, and said ".What's in here ?" She said " A biscuit, will you take one?" Had often heard if you offered mad people things they would b'e quiet, and thought he was mad. The train going slower entering Cam bridge, he got up and kissed her, saying, " Will you say Good bye?" The ticket porter got on the step at the platform, and Mr. Ward asked if there was a train to Ely that night, as he wanted to have stopped at some station. They went on talking till the train stopped. When the train stopped at the station he took hold of her hand, shook it, and said, " Good bye." Did not cffer her hand. Did not say " Good bye." He got out and disappeared. Then went to the guard to ask him not to let any one get into her carriage. (Mr. Straight said the guard was unfortunately absent.) Complained to the guard that some man had insulted her, and the guard pointed out the station-master, who came to witness, and she repeated the complaint to him, saying where she came from, and Where she was going to, also where she lived. Mr. Ward then came up, she complained in his presence, and he said that what she said was untrue. After a very s h or t con sultation among the magistrates, the Mayor said it was unnecessary for him to express any regret in announcing the unanimous decision of the bench, and to make any observations to a gentleman in Mr. Ward's situation was equally unnecessary. It was the unanimous decision of the bench that the casts was fully made out. Arr. Ward was convicted 1n a penalty of 4N, and costs. The Fen . an Assassination in B loomsbury. During the interval that has already elapsed since the last examination of Groves at the Bow-street Police-court the police, under the direction of Superintendent Searle and Inspector Thompson, have been unceasing in their endeavours to discover the second man who was in company with the villain that fired the shot which caused 111‘Donnell's death. Every spot at which it has been thought likely anything relative in the slightest degree to the assassination had been visited, and certain facts have been elicited that it is hoped will in the end lead to the discovery of the actual murderer. The most important fact that has occurred in the discovery of the police, not very far from the corner of Vernon-place, of a large beard and moustache, which corresponds exactly with the description given by all the persons who were enabled to speak of the personal appear ance of one of the men who followed INl'Donnell on the night of the murder. The false beard, which is of a light flaxen colour, and five or six inches long, is in the possession of Inspector Thompson, and steps will be immediately taken to procure, if possible, information as to the place at which it was purchased. It is intended imme diately to advertise a minute description of the article, and to call upon the hairdressers and perfumers of the metropolis to forward a descrip tion of the person who might have purchased such an article. The police have also watched for the last few days several public houses known to be frequented by members of the Fenian brotherhood, but beyond taking note of the personal appearance of some of these visitors and quietly discovering their place of residence, nothing has yet been dis covered beyond the fact we have above announced. Groves, since his last examination, has regained much confidence, and to all who have visited him since he has been in the House of Detention he strongly denies any participation in the assassina tion of 111'llonnell. A7TEMPTED MURDER OF A _POLICEMAN Al LOUDWAIER. Yesterday morning the inhabitants of the quiet Buckinghamshire village of Loudwater were thrown into a state of considerable excitement by a das tardly attempt at murder committed about eight o'clock. From inquiries upon the spot it has been ascertained that a police-constable named, it is understood, Deacon, keeper of the lock-up at Wycombe, in pursuit of a man whose apprehen sion was desired, left the latter place by the 8 5 a.m. train, and arrived at the Loudwater station of the Aylesbury branch of the Great Western Railway at 812 a.m. The constable was in plain clothes, and while the train was stopping at the station, chanc ing to look out of the carriage window he saw the man he was in quest of walking upon the plat form. Mr. Rimes, the station-master, had just issued a Victoria-station ticket to the man in ques tion, who, on being recognised by the constable, turned to leave, and was accompanied by the latter. As the man went out of the wicket ho gave up his Victoria ticket to George Rimes, the son of the station-master. When the two got outside into the station-yard the man ran away, but was overtaken near a long wall attached to the village post-office, in the occupation of Mr. Saunders, who at the time of the occurrence was sitting at break fast with his wife. While looking through the window he saw two men, as he thought, wrestling with each other, and as they seemed both to be respectable he did not interfere. Presently he saw one of them draw a knife and stab the other, and on going to the door to render assistance both men ran past him. It seems that when the constable attempted to arrest the man upon his overtaking him the latter stabbed him several times, wounding him on the arm and various parts of the body. Weakened by the extreme haniorrhage the constable was easily thrown, and then his assailant made off as quickly as possible. The constable attempted to follow, but was un able, and eventually stopped, bleeding and faint, near the Happy Union inn, the landlord of which, Mr. Partridge, with other assistance, got him into a cart. Mr. Partridge then drove the wounded man to Wycombe, about three miles distant, where the injuries \were attended to by Mr. Turner, a sur geon, and where Deacon lies in a most dangerous condition. In the meantime, 'William Partridge, a boy of about 15 years of age, the son of the land lord of the Happy Union, mounted a pony, and went after the miscreant and gave information to the police at Wooburn-green and Beaconsfield. As the boy on his return came out of Beaconsfidld he met the man who had attempted to murder the con stable, and who regarded him somewhat curiously. He disappeared soon afterwards over some railings, and the boy went and told the Beaconsfield police of the circumstance. The man was eventually run down and captured in the morning, and taken first to Wycombe, and in the evening to Aylesbury. It appears that the constable wanted him for a rob bery which he had committed at a publichouso in Wycombe, where he had been staying, and where he had stolen a watch and some money.

TIIE SPEC lAL C OMMISSION. —We are informed that the Judges selected to preside at the approaching trials of the Fenian prisoners at Manchester are Mr. Justice BlaabUrA and Air• Jl.l4tict? avil9r,—Mic:6l'4 'Mastiff(' 1021 3 21 WEN ITIES. 101 k 2 190 • 100 100 Ic,o 100 100 09 I 1094 THEFENIAN OUTRAGEATMANCRESTER The lecturer M'Auliffe was brought before the magistrates at Manchester yesterday, having been remanded from time to time since the 18th of Sept. It will be remembered that on the 18th, after the remand of Kelly and Deasy, but before they were taken to the van, two men attracted the attention of the police as evincing active sympathy with the Fenians. One of these men, M'Auliffe, was seized by a policeman, at whom (according to the police man's statement) he aimed a blow with a dagger. It was supposed after the attack on the van that he would prove to be connected with the plot which ended in the rescue. The police, however, have failel to get any evidence as to the plot except what re ferred to its execution, and no complicity of the prisoner with it has been shown. Yesterday the only additional evidence given was that the prisoner was seen in company with the woman who brought Kelly's dinner on that clay before the rescue, and who afterwards shook hands with Kelly on the way to Albert-street station. Mr. Fowler said under the circumstances he should be obliged to discharge the prisoner, and he was ac cordingly allowed to leave the court. LORD MAYO'S TELEGRAII TO THE MANCHESTER POLICE. Yesterday Captain Palin, the Chief Constable of Manchester, presented the following report to the Mayor in relation to the telegram froth Lord Mayo on the 18th ult., the day of the Fenian rescue of pri soners, which has so often been referred to as giving the authorities warning of the intended outrage. The report was laid before the Watch Committee, and after a lengthy discussion a special sub-commit tee was appointed to further consider the matter and prepare a report on the whole question for presenta tion to the next meeting of the City Council : " Town-hall, Manchester, Oct. 10, 1867. " The Chief Constable submits for the informa tion of his 'Worship the Mayor, the following state ment relative to the receipt at this office of a tele gram from Dublin to Superintendent Maybury, on the 18th Sept., concerning the safe custody of the two Fenian prisoners, Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy. " It appears that the telegram was received at five minutes past 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th by William Mellor, a junior clerk in the detective office, who, as Mr. Maybury was not in the Town hall at the time, opened and read the message, which was handed to Inspector Garner, who came to the office about 2.15 p.m. Inspector Garner had come to report to Mr. Maybury that he had observed some suspicious-looking persons loitering about the court, and, not finding Mr. Maybury, he went in search of Superintendent Gee, whom he met in Gartside street, near the City Courthouse. He then informed Mr. Gee for what purpose he had been to the Town-hall, and also that he had seen a telegram warning the gaol authorities to keep a good guard over the Fenian prisoners. " Mr. Gee states that when Inspector Garner met him in Gartside-street he reported that two men and a woman who had brought food to the court for Kelly and Deasy had been loitering about the court ever since. He suspected they were Fenians, and thought they were watching for an opportunity to rescue the prisoners. He had been up to the Town-hall to tell Mr. Maybury, but he was not there, but said there was a message there from him (as I understood) that extra precaution should be taken for the safe custody of the prisoners. In con sequence of the information thus received I inquired from Inspector Garner what officers he had to spare that he could send with the van ; he said seven or eight. I told him to send them, and that I would send four others in a cab to follow the van close behind, and in this manner the prison van was sent away. But before this took place-one of the two men described by Garner and another man was, by my orders, apprehended and sent over to the police station.' " The Chief Constable finds from inquiry that Mr. Maybury left the office at a quarter before 2, and did not return until after the van had been attacked and the prisoners rescued. Immediately on his arrival at the Town-hall, about 4.25, he was informed of the attack, and went at once to the gaol, the Fairfield-street police station, and then to the Infirmary, and it was only on his return to the detective office, between 6 and 7 o'clock, that the telegram was put into his hands. "Since the unfortunate event happened the con duct of the police has been severely . animadverted upon, and many reports have been entreat and cir culated in the newspapers to the effect that the police knew ou the night of the 17th that there would be an organised attack upon the van. In the Morning Post it was stated that intelligence of the intended attack on the van was forwarded from Liverpool, and similar information was sent from Scotland-yard before midnight of the 17th inst. The Irish officers on duty in Manchester also cau tioned the police early on the next day.' fhe Chief Constable, as is well known, was absent on leave, but he has felt it his duty to inquire from his officers and he is in a position to deny that any officer belonging to the Manchester police received any information whatever of the intended attack, either from Scotland-yard, Liverpool, or the Irish officers on duty in Manchester. It is quite true that there were rumours to that effect. Some of the officers about the court were told on Monday that an attempt was to be made to rescue the two men Kelly and Deasy, and Mr. Mavbury was informed of it by Inspector Garner, who was one of the officers to whom the statement was made. It was in consequence of the warning received, and of these rumours, that such steps as were deemed to be sufficient for the security of the prisoners were taken. The prisoners were, contrary to the usual practice, handcuffed, and the extra number of officers before stated were sent to escort the van to the gaol. It may be well understood that the probability of an armed attempt to rescue did not present itself to the minds of the superintendents. The Chief Constable ventures to express his belief that there are few persons who, upon such infor mation as the police were in possession of, would not consider that the precautionary steps taken were quite sufficient to meet any emergency which might bo reasonably anticipated.

There was a strong disposition to lay against the latter, who, after being peppered at all sorts of prices, was friendless at 25 to 1, a report being current that he had been beaten in a trial by Knight of the Garter. The Knight was kindly supported down to 20 to 1 to win a considerable stake. Aetna, was in fair request at 18 to 1, while 2,000 to 140 was taken about her with a run. Julius, despite the advancln of Honesty, was in fair demand, and Fripon:nier was supported in a generally well-informed quarter at his price as below.

At a meeting of advanced Liberals held at Nor wich on Thursday night, to concert measures for the future political organisation of the working classes, the following letter was read from Mr. Gladstone : " Hawarden, Oct. 8. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and to state in reply that my opinion on those provisions of the Reform Act which bear upon the subject of rates have been fully and frequently declared during the debates last session ; and to those debates I must refer you rather than to any succinct summary of them such as I could now convey. I have no objection however, to state that those provisions, although better than others which stood in the bill as it was at first introduced, are still of a most inconvenient and annoying character, and likewise that they would admit of great and effectual amendment. These are the opinions which up to this time I have seen no reason to change, and I shall look with in terest to the evidence the autumn and winter may supply with respect to the feelings of those whose practical experience of the subject in their several neighbourhoods will be likely to command public attention, and, if 4 am correct in my views, speedy redress.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. E. GLADSTONE." The foll3wing letter from Mr. E. Warner, M.P., dated "Paris, Oct. 5," was also read. " Dear Sir,—Your letter, enclosing report, ; of compound householders' meeting, has only just been forwarded to me. lam not surprised at the strong feeling expressed against the clauses of the Repre sentation of the People Act, which require per sonal payment of rates I do not believe that the case can be dealt with by simply attempting to repeal the provisions in question. The framers of the present Act decided wisely, as I think, to reject in the case of the borough franchise all fixed lines of rating or rental which had been the chief cause of the mis carriage of former attempts. Having done this it became necessary for them to devise means for maintaining connection between taxation and re presentation which had been indirectly provided for under the old system, and which has always been accepted as an essential principle of constitutional government. Very unfortunately, as it appears to me, although perhaps unavoidable, they stumbled on the principle of personal rating. I be lieve that a more consistent arrangement would have been possible, and I regret it was not attempted ; but I am not prepared to say that any such scheme could have been carried without alterations in the system of national taxa tion. Esteeming it, as I do, a great honour to have taken part in the passing of the wise and liberal measure of the past session, I am not blind to its defects, least of all to those which your committee are exerting themselves to remove. For the reasons I have given, I think our course is by nc means plain or easy ; but if any plan can be suggested for attaining your object which appears reasonable and constitutional it will have my earnest support.—l am, sir, yours faithfully, " EDWARD WARNER." ASSESSED TAXES. —A question was raised yester day at the Finsbury Registration as to the payment of assessed taxes to qualify a person to be placed on the list of voters, and a decision given by Mr. Bacon, the Revising Barrister, which will form a precedent. A ratepayer was excluded from the list as a defaulter for assessed taxes, and ha now claimed to be inserted. He pro duced his receipt for the taxes, dated the 23d of July. The Revising Barrister said the 20th of July was the last day allowed by the Act. The applicant stated that he attended on that day, and was told that ho could not pay the money, as it was not one of the days appointed. The Revising Barrister held that as the taxes were tendered on the 20th he should insect the name on the list. A case had crcurred before him at the Marylebone Registration, where the taxes were sent on the 20th of July and refused, as the collector was engaged. Mr. Layton, the vestry clerk of St. Mary, Islington, in whose district the applicant re sided, said he was glad the question had been decided —it was a marvel to him that collectors appointed particular days for the receipt Of money, to the inconvenience of the public. The Revising Barrister considered that, as the taxes wore tendered on the 20th of July, the claimant waS entitled to be placed on the register. Viscount and Viscountess lielmesdale are shortly expected to arrive at Linton, near Maidstone, from his `lordship's phinting quarters in the north of Scotland. ; 7 -4 .. ...."` 1: mevi- Litted ment ;creW g St. indS , , and into ;Hock f /ler teafi fro has oritY , 3 dog+ on ce o $ 5l odic 3, i tb" Stl ° ' -11.°111 -......, 20 8t at 100 too et 1 10i 10 100 i at 96, 6 68i 47 1 1081 8 16[ i 1021 1
