".......A .- 4 iik .• LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1867• A Reform Conference was held in Glasgo con vened by the Scottish National Reform League from the various districts of Scotland. TI ie secre tary read extracts from letters received fr , 3/11 some members of Parliament who had been invited to attend. Mr. BRIGHT heads the . list, and he, of course, makes a desperate effort to show thl ‘t there is something worth fighting for, and sometWng that i still remains to be done before we should rest and i be thankful. He declares that he has a very " dis tinct opinion as to what Reformers should do now." They should continue their associations and make a grand effort for the Ballot. This is true so far as the principle goes, but of course the writer goeo on to mar the effect of his comments by the exhibition of his prejudice and perversity. All that has been clone for freedom has been done by the boroughs, we are told, " and they have had to move the dead weight of the counties," and overcome the resistance of territorial influence. According to Mr. BRIGHT'S theory, England would be far happier and wiser if it all consisted of towns, for no one ever heard him say anything in favour of the counties yet, and he talks as if all that the counties did was to injure and impair the advantages that accrued from the influence of the boroughs. He says that the ballot I would " lessen the cost, and put an end to the tumults which are inseparable from our present elections in boroughs;" and no doubt it would have a tendency in this direction. We would, how ever, venture to ask why Mr. BRIGHT and his fellow-politicians were so vehement in their de nunciation of the introduction of voting papers, which was a decided approach to the ballot? Why did they not allow it a trial, at any rate, instead of perversely declaring that it would be productive of injury rather than good. Mr. JOHN STUART MILL'S counsels are, as may be expected, rather difficult to carry out. He recommended a more just redistri bution of seats, and not only for measures to be taken for the repression of bribery at elections, but of that " moncpoly of seats in Parliament which result from the enormous expense of elections." He also advocates the restoration of legal protection to the funds of trade societies, com bined with efficient measures to prevent physical molestation, etc. Really, it would be advisable to wait a little and see the results of the inquiries now being made by the C o m m i ss ion before pre suming to settle what should or should not be I done with respect to these Trade Societies. If even half were done that is shadowed forth by these correspondents there would indeed be enough to occupy the Legislature for some considerable period ; and the wholesale character of some of the Reforms is almost amusing. For instance, Mr. MILL points out that Reformers should demand complete justice to our Irish fellow-country men, and Mr. HADFIELD advises that the Bishops should be relieved from Parliamentary labours and duties in the House of Lords. Mr. HUGHES, M.P. for Lambeth, is one of the wisest counsellors, for he says that in his opinion the labour question is one which should now occupy the fore most place in the deliberations of such a Confer ence : " That legislation, if any, is desirable as to trades' unions. How are artizans to be kept in the country—how can the standard of work be raised in all branches of production—so that we may regain our:character as the first workshop in the world?" We entirely agree with the hon. member for Lambeth that these seem the most pressing questions for English politicians just now ; and so the y certainly are, for every day brings more fully before us the depth and height to which this evil of trades' unionism has reached, and the tyranny it is work ing among us in the name of liberty. Resolutions were adopted accepting the household suffrage, with a liberal lodger franchise for burghs, but condemn ing the introduction of the " unconstitutional principles of the representation of minorities." The " political programme " sketched at this Conference no doubt sounded very well, and ap peared to be very promising to those who drew it up, but it would not be found so practicable in all its details as they thought. At any rate we do not know that much good can come of agitation just now, and it would be better to wait and see bow the new regime acts before we persevere in asking for a change to be made. So much more has been conceded than was ex pected at any time possible to be gained that it is evidently both impolitic and injudicious to exhibit discontent and dissatisfaction. The news from Manchester is of a startling and extraordinary character. We have become accus tomed to hear of violent manifestations of Fenianism in the sister country, and are satisfied that no serious consequences will ensue from them so long as the authorities are properly on their guard. But the rescue of two prisoners by an armed body of ruffians, the murder and maltreatment of the police in charge in the immediate vicinity of one of our largest and most populous cities, in broad daylight, is something which the most phleg matic can scarcely hear with indifference. The facts of the case, so far as they are as yet known, are as follows :—About a week since two men, who spoke with Irish American accent, were appre hended by the Manchester police for loitering about the streets at night in a suspicious manner. They claimed to be American citizens, and offered great resistance. They were remanded under the Vagrant Act, and both proved to be armed with loaded revolvers. It is believed that they are the two well known Fenian leaders, Colonel KELLY and Captain DEASEY. They were brought up a second time at the Manchester police-court yesterday and again remanded for further inquiry. About three o'clock in the afternoon the van was drawn up in front of the Police-court to remove the prisoners to gaol, and the police noticed two men hanging aLout whom they suspected to be Fenians, and a policeman made a rush at one, and succeeded in arresting him, but not before the man had drawn a dagger and at tempted to stab him. This we think should have put the police on their guard. If armed Fenians were lurking about it would have been pru dent at least to have an armed escort. How ever, they deemed it wise to put DEASEY and KELLY in irons before starting. While proceeding through the suburbs of the city to the gaol a volley of shots was fired. The policemen in charge of the van immediately dropped off to search for the assaulters, when a rush was made by thirty or forty Irishmen upon them and upon the van. One man had a bayonet, another a hatchet, and others had revolvers, one of which was fired into the lock. They succeeded in breaking open the van, and in liberating the whole of the prisoners. The police collected in a body, and endeavoured to make an organised resistance, but several revolvers were fired, and several of them seriously wounde I, a bystander being killed. Both the horses in the van were shot, and the driver knocked 00 his box with a stone. As may be supposed, the greatest excitement prevailed in the city, and we are glad to add that great vigour and promptitude were shown by the authori ties. Several arrests were made of persons implicated in the rescue, and one of those taken. William O'Mora, alias Allen, is said to be the one who fired the fatal shot. He is said to have acted as captain of the rescuing party, and had been waiting with a number of followers for hours before the van arrived. The Secretary of State has authorised a reward of £3OO for the apprehension of KELLY and DASEY, and the Manchester Corporation offer £2OO for the men concerned in the rescue. Those who were captured were this time escorted to the Town-hall by a squadron of dragoons. There is no fear but due precautions will now be taken ; but, as usual, the fault has been that in dealing with reckless and desperate characters the ordinary routine forms were employed. If there was any reason, as there seems to have been, to apprehend an attempt at rescue, it would have been well to have detained the two Fenian prisoners at the police-court until the military were called out to escort them to gaol. A little pre liminary trouble would have saved much subsequent confusion and the damage to the prestige of the civil force. Now the lost ground can only be recovered by the utmost vigour and vigilance. The supre macy of the law must be vindicated, and the insti gators of so daring and outrageous an attempt must be made to feel the consequence of their venture. Every nerve must be strained in the recapture of the two Fenians, and we trust that the energies of the district being thoroughly roused that they and their followers will before long have cause to regret having adopted Irish manners in English society. It is well known that it is a pity to be too much behind the scenes if we do not wish to know the full effect of the performances ; and certainly we fear that the eclat that may surround the Reform Banquet, or banquets in perspective, will be consi derably diminished by the preliminary confessions that are being made about the affair. The truth is, that jealousy has had too much sway in the matter, and by this time the Reform League has found out its mistake, but the difficulty is how to repair it. Last evening a general meeting was held at their office to consider the case, and Mr. MANTLE made some very sensible observations. He said that if the Working Men's Association turned out a failure that result would be attributed to the League, and he advised the acceptance of the concession of the Working Men's Association that Mr. BEALES should preside at the Banquet. " His idea was that the League Banquet should be abandoned." A discussion followed, and it was moved that the League should adhere to its original proposition and have a banquet of its own, and it was finally resolved to adjourn the consideration of the question for a week. If the League have any sense or discretion they will follow the wise advice of Mr. MANTLE, and give up their original scheme. It will be only making the whole thing a laughing-stock if they go on like this, exhibiting to the public that while they dictate to statesmen how to govern the country they cannot, or will not, settle their own business quietly. All concerned in this affair may certainly exclaim with the poet — "For us, even 'Banquets' fond regrets supply." In accordance with .annual custom, the social science philosophers of the day are mustering at Belfast. The Congress opened last evening, under the presidency of Lord DUFFERIN, who is this year selected for the chief office—an appropriate selec tion, considering the country in which the gathering this year is held. his lordship's opening address was chiefly directed to Irish topics, which will no doubt this year come in for a full share of atten tion. There are plenty of general matters con cerning the health, the education, and the moral well-being of the people to come under notice. No doubt trades' unionism will play a prominent part, and we shall hear in what manner our social reformers will propose to deal with the difficulties of the subject.. Then there is the often-discussed question of national education still open. We shall have the advocates of a com pulsory system and of the perpetuation and increase of the present system renewing theirancient strug gles in the arena of argument. We hope that the wants of the agricultural classes of the population will be thought of in the educational section, for the rival claims of labour and of learning are not easy to adjust. Then there are various sani tary matters to be brought under the notice of the Public Health department. The overcrowding of our towns, the condition of our labourers' dwellings, the inferior and imperfect supply of water in many of our courts and alleys, may well form the subject of serious consideration in face of the fact that five tenths of the deaths from fever take place among four-tenths of the population. Our Social Science Congress can do good service in many of these par ticulars by eliciting and classifying information, and by summing up as it were the evidence which they collect, so as to present it in a clear and com prehensive form for the verdict of the public. SUN LONDON. THLTBSOA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1867 CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Moniteur states that M. Dano, accompanied by the members of his legation, has returned to France by the packet La Ville de Paris, which arrived yesterday at Brest from New York. The English boat William Penn was expected at Brest with a number of passengers from Mexico, who had come from Vera Cruz to New York by the Phlegeton and Bouvet, belonging to the Imperial Marine, and could not find room on board the Ville de Paris. A military expedition, at the head of which is Rechid Pacha, Governor-General of Syria, and the General-in-Chief of the army of Arabistan, Der vish Pacha, has just been sent to the east of the Jordan and the Dead Sea with a view to provide for the security of the country, and to prevent in future the extortions made upon the travellers by the - caravans who traverse those regions with a scientific object, and who arc made prisoners by the Bedouins with a view to obtain a ransom for their release. The chateau of Salt, an old Greco- Roman citadel, situated near Rabbat Ammon, is now occupied by military, and the intention is to repair the ruins and place a permanent garrison of regular troops there. The Druse population exhibit a satisfactory feeling towards the expedition. The Pachas have not experienced any opposition, and the levy of the taxes is effected without any difficulty. Accounts from Copenhagen state that the Queen of Denmark, the King of Greece, the Cesarewitch, and the Czarenna are about to leave that city to attend the funeral of the Landgrave William, which will take place at Rumpenheim in Hesse. M. Simon has been appointed President of the Confederation of Northern Germany. The Duke d'Ujest and M. Beningren have been chosen Vice- Presidents. At the last sitting of the Federal Council Prussia demanded full powers to conclude, in the name of the Confederation, a treaty of navi gation with Italy upon the basis of complete equa lity between the two flags. The proposal was re ferred to the committee upon commercial affairs. The Viceroy of Egypt arrived on Monday at Cairo, accompanied by the members of his Cabinet, I who went to meet him at Alexandria. The prosperous career of the Exhibition continues in spite of somewhat adverse weather. The attrac tion continues instead of diminishing. On Saturday, an unfavourable day in general in Paris for pleasure seeking, the number of visitors who paid for the day was 42,751. From April Ito August 31 the receipts exceeded 7,000,000 f. The receipts from the Ist to 10th Sept. amounted to 500,000 f., an average of 50,000 f., or £2,000 sterling a day. This amount is equal to that of the receipts of June, the royal month, as it is called, because Sovereigns were then so plentiful in Paris. A woman who obtained unenviable notoriety at the time, Nina Lassave, has just died at Melbourne, aged 71. She was implicated in the regicide plot and trial of Fieschi, Pepin, and Morey against Louis Philippe. For some years she bad been married to a rich merchant of Mulhouse, where she lived in great luxury, and where her antecedents were either unknown or forgotten. The Constitutionnel states that the negotiations be tween Prussia and Denmark upon the subject of the northern districts of Schleswig will shortly com mence at Berlin. M. Quaade will be the represen tative of Denmark. The Prussian Plenipotentiary has not yet been appointed. The Congress of the Catholic Associations of Germany held at Inspruck has closed its delibera tions, and the Prince Bishop of Brixen bestowed his Episcopal blessing upon the assembly. Nothing of particular importance occurred. M. 0 verkamp read a long paper, having for object the conversion of the Russians to the Roman Catholic religion, which was somewhat wearisome, rather, however, because of its length than from dissatisfaction with the arguments it adduced and the principles it set forth. A very interesting speech was made by M. Mcesinger, Professor at Salzbourg, who advocated the formation of associations to give pecuniary assistance to the Holy Father to enable him more effectually to promote the great cause of Catholicism. Mazzini has written a long letter to the Unita Italiana explaining the reasons why he would not associate himself in any way with the so-called Peace Congress of Geneva. In this letter Mazzini says he has no doubt of the good intentions of the promoters of the Congress. " Hell," it has been asserted, "is paved with good intentions," but although the assembly was called a Congress of Peace, peace could not exist except as a consequence of liberty and justice. Liberty could not be esta blished except with a great struggle. Mazzini then enumerates various points for which, in his opinion, a great battle must be fought, including the inde pendence of Poland, Italian unity, Greek unity, free Switzerland, instead of Turkey; liberty for France, America, Scandinavia ; and a vast pro gramme of liberty in all parts of the globe. The object of the struggle must be " a great and holy crusade—a battle of Marathon, for the benefit of Europe, and for the triumph of the principle of pro gress." The weather has been peculiar to-day. It has given us a touch of December. A cold and violent wind has prevailed all day, relieved or chequered with rain, but without a gleam of sunshine. Last night, in the country districts, there was a tempest calculated to remind us of the equinox. The Pari sians, so gay and buoyant lately out of doors, have deserted the promenades, and people are beginning to come back to Paris from the country. It is to be feared that the reign of summer flowers, and indeed of summer itself, is over. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur has discon tinued his course of studies for a short period at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and left the Ranger's Lodge, Greenwich-park, on Monday even ing, for Balmoral, on a visit to the Queen. Before tak ing his departure the Prince, accompanied by Lieut. Pickard, V.C., Royal Horse Artillery, rode down to Woolwich Arsenal, and spent some time in inspect ing the preparations now in progress for the expedi tion to Abyssinia. He was received by Captain Gordon, C. 8., and other officials. His Royal High ness was much interested in his inspection of the Lilliputian mountain batteries, which, it appears, are pronounced to be the most effective, and will probably be the most useful and available for the service. With a service charge of Goz. of powder and a 71b. missile, fired at 4 degrees elevation, the gun carries 2,000 yards, and has been proved to do good execution at that distance. It is to be tried as a mortar at Shoeburyness, before the shipment of the batteries for their destination, by firing with reduced charges of powder-20z., and a double size shell, weighing 141 b. According to the original arrangements, 500 rounds of shot and ammunition were ordered to be prepared for the service of each gun, and an amended order was yesterday received from his Royal Hig hness t he Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief, directin g the amount of the charges to be aug mented to 1,000 rounds each gun.

It appears to be decided on furnishing mules for the mountain transport, six of which will accompany each gun in the following order :—Two for the transport of the gun and car riage, three to carry 20 rounds of cartridge, &c., each, and the sixth to be laden with 20 charged rockets.

Two Vessels Lost in the Whale Fishery. The Clara, Capt. F. Milne, of Peterhead, arrived in that port on Sunday morning, from Davis Straits. She brings from 60 to 70 tons of oil, the produce of seven whales, with the bone of eight. The Clara sailed on May 24 last year, and she has thus been away about 16 months. Sh e h as b r ought the un welcome intelligence of the total loss of two vessels belonging to Peterhead, one by burning and the other by drifting on a reef. The Bullygar was lost on time, The Bullygar left Peterhead the 30th Oct. last year, and the Du bli n was b urne d a few days after that me four years ago fo r C umberland Gu lf , w h ere s he was employed as a tender, for which purpose she was built and specially fitted out in 1862. She was a fine clipper schooner of 86 tons. The wreck took place while the vessel was towing a whale. The ground was known to be dangerous, and the men in charge were cautio us l y feel i ng t h e i r wa y by sound ing ; but as the reef was a very narrow one , the lead had missed it, a n d t h e Bu ll ygar gr ounded and became a total w rec k .

She was furnished with 4 new steam-engine on deck, for the purpose of warping the ship forward, managing part of he: rigging, and flinching. The engine was a light one of 4 horse power. The Dublin had been very successful at the fishing, and when burned hal about 50 tons of oil on board, which, of course, went to the flames. Some of the bone on board was saved ; and with the oil and bone at the fishing station before the burning of the vessel, and what the crew have collected since, it is expected that from 40 to 50 tons of oil are left, with four or five tons of bone. Fortunately no lives have been lost, although the loss of property will be rather heavy. The Lord Saltoun, likewise from Davis Straits, is in the bay while we write (Nlonday), with a good fishing—probably from 60 to 70 tons. This vessel started for home some days sooner than the Clara. The Alert is not the only vessel to ar rive from the whale fishing at Cumberland, LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BARON VON BEUST. REICHENBEEG, Sept. 18 (Evening).

The following despatch has been received at the Foreign Office from her Majesty's Consul-General at Warsaw, dated Sept. 3, 1867 : " Lieut.-Colonel Mansfield to Lord Stanley. " Warsaw, Sept. 3, 1867. "My Lord--I have the honour to draw your lordship's attention to the extensive frauds of which British subjects have for some time been the victims at the hands of manufacturers i❑ the kingdom of Poland. Scarcely a fortnight elapses without my receiving an application for assistance and protec tion from agents of firms in Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Belfast, &c. Owing to the cordial co-oper ation of the authorities, I have been instrumental in enabling several firms to recover considerable sums ; but in the majority of cases I regret to state that many firms have been at a great loss, through fraudulent bankruptcies and evasion of liabilities upon the part of manufacturers in this country. At the beginning favourable terms are offered ; but at the expiration of a year or so there is the almost in variable question of alleged inability to meet their engagements, or devices to break faith. I venture to suggest to your lordship that the publication of this communication in London and commercial news papers might be of service, with a view to put Bri tish firms on their guard against embarking iu enter prises in this country, without an adequate acquaint ance of the parties concerned.—l have, &c., " (Signed) " C. E. MANSFIELD." To-day Lord Brougham enters upon his eighty ninth year. The noble and learned lord is reported to be in the enjoyment of good health. Rescue of Two Fenian Head Centres. THREE PERSONS SHOT. The Fenians in Manchester yesterday made a desperate attack on a body of the city police, and succeeded in rescuing the notorious Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasey, the two head centres of the movement, who were recently apprehended here. Kelly and Deasey were yesterday remanded by the magistrates to the City gaol, and during the afternoon they were placed in the prison van along with about thirty-seven other persons for conveyance thither. They were handcuffed, and placed in separate compartments at the end of the van near the driver. Six policemen and the driver sat outside, and aseventh officer, Sergeant Chas. Brett, a man highly respected in the police force, took his position inside the vehicle. Behind was a cab con taining four other constables, all, like the officers just mentioned, unarmed. Nothing to create sus picion was observed as the van proceeded through the city, but as soon as it had passed through the railway arch on the Hyde-road a man ran into the middle of the carriage way and discharged a revolver at the horses. Another fellow threw a brick at the driver, but missed him. The shots, however, took effect on the horses; one was very seriously injured, and the other wounded in the neck. One of the animals reared and plunged, and the van was brought to a stand. Several shots were then fired from a mob which the abutments of the railway arch on the left side of the road hai concealed on the approach of the van ; it consisted of about 40 persons, most of them dressed as labour ing men, and one or two respectably attired. There seemed to be about 15 revolvers in the company ; one man, too, had a gun, and several were armed with single-barrelled pistols. Shot followed upou shot in quick succession, and bricks and other missiles were freely hurled at the police. The ruffians fired at the officers on the roof of the van, who, together with thos3 in the cab, found it necessary to retire some distance down the road. The mob then tried, with the aid of large stones, to break in the roof and door of the vehicle, and also endeavoured to force open the latter by shoot ing into the keyhole of the lock. At length they effected an entrance, and one of them demanded the keys from Brett. He refused to deliver them, and Was immediately shot in the head, a ball entering his forehead on the right side and passing out at the back of his head. The assailants then freed Kelly and Deasey, and four female prisoners also escaped. While this outrage was in perpetration the police officers several times attempted to charge upon the mob, but as they were unarmed, save with a few sticks and a truncheon or two, and as their assailants met every approach with a discharge of revolvers, their attempts were fruitless. Many civilians took part with the police, but without arms resistance was useless. Some idea may be formed of the fray from the fact that in all upwards of one hundred shots wore fired. Information of the attack having been conveyed to Fairfield-street Station, a body of constables, armed with cutlasses, was thence despatched, and they reached the scene of the out rage as soon as they could. Meanwhile the Fenians had withdrawn. They ran in a body over the fields to the north of llyde Road, and crossed the railway embankment. A pursuit was at once started, and a man, named Michael Larkin, of Eliza-street, City road, having met with an obstruction on the railway was soon captured, and was found to have a revolver in his possession. He will be spoken to as one of the men who fired in front of the horses. Another, a young man, named William O'Mora, alias Allen, of Sudell-street, Oldham-road, who, it is stated, shot Brett, was keenly pursued. He cleared the railway yard, near Hyde Road, crossed the Ashton Old Road, and took to the fields, near Bradford, and whenever an attempt was made to seize him he pointed a pistol at his pursuer, and so for a while maintained the flight. At length he was overpowered by some civilians in a brickcroft near the Ashton New Road, was knocked down and treated with considerable violence, and was only given up alive at the inter cession of the police. He was after wards found to have sustained several scalp wounds. A third man, of whose complicity in the attack there is no doubt, was soon afterwards caught, and was taken by Chief Warder Sykes to the City Gaol. He is a man of respectable appearance, but refuses to give his name and address. He, too, was armed, and threatened to fire upon the officer who pursued him. Two young men who were supposed to have been concerned it the affair were, about half-past five o'clock, taken by four of the county constabulary among a clump of trees between Newton Heath and Philips Parks. These officers report several cases of threats to shoot on the part of the fugitives, several of whom they had seen on the road to Ashton. As the evening ad vanced the police scoured the quarters of the town most frequented by the supporters of the Fenian movement, and before midnight nearly 20 persons were in custody. Sergeant Brett was removed to the Royal Infirmary, where, at half-past 5 o'clock, his in jury terminated fatally. An officer, named Seth Bromley, was shot through the left thigh, and somewhat seriously hurt. Another man, named Henry Sproon, of Garden Walks, Ardwick, also received a shot in the right foot. Many of the police officers had narrow escapes, some of which were rather singular. One, n ame d William Trueman, re ceived a shot in his coat, without sustaining any personal injury. Another officer, named Knox, was standing on the step behind the van when the affray began, and a volley was fired at him and a fellow-constable, named Connell. Some of the bullets whistled past between the officers and the van door. An officer, named Yarwood, was delibe rately shot at as he sat in front of the vehicle, but b en di n g his head he escaped the fire, and the man whose aim had failed then lodged a bullet in the head of one of the horses as before men tioned. During the afternoon a revolver, five cham bers of which were loaded with ball, was found in a brook near the Ardwick Station ; it corresponds exactly in make with those found on Kelly and Deasey when they were apprehended on the morn ing of the 11th iust. Some of the routed mob were, in course of the evening, seen in Droylsden, and four of them were ascertained to have there changed their clothes. As soon as possible the state of things was communicated to the Mayor (R. Neill, Esq.), the assistant town clerk (Mr. Talbot) several members of the Watch Committee, and the superin tendents of the several divisions of police, together with a number of the city magistrates ; and pre cautions were taken to secure the arrest of as many of the Fenian party as possible. Tele grams were despatched to the authorities at White hall and Dublin Castle, and Government offer a reward for the apprehension of the men who have escaped. The military authorities in the city were also communicated with, and assistance was assured in case it might be required. The greater part of the men apprehended were lodged throughout last night at the chief police-station, Albert-street, and there being a fear that the place might be attacked a number of the troops were stationed within the police barracks. Up to the time of writing six of those in custody have been identified as having taken part in the affray. £3OO REWARD.

It took place in Dublin on Tuesday at half-past four. During his long and honoured life (says the Freeman's Journal) he took a most pro minent part in public affairs, and, indeed, for the past half century his life was oue long course of mental activity. He retired from the Chief JO' ticeship of the Queen's Bench when appointed Lord Chancellor, which office he held but a short time. He was on the creation of the office appointed Lord LDt J h u oee s rr t dbs i pyc Chancellor, n o to f g o officeA f p this p hh e i se a wyw, year r n ef d hio nr octi high hen t sso h ee a n c d c e t s i s r a i o e n a p of f 0 Lor d at:a health. For the short peri o d he qffi the second time he displ a y e d a ll th ose g reat quali ties filledle e e n c h e e theoresignedf decliningorn office e forin for which he was distinguished i n his mature year s. In a recent brief notice of his career we observed that he was one of a great race of lawyers, who' like the Irish wolf dog, are now almost extinct. As an equity lawyer, he occupied a position not inf erior to that of Pennefather, Warren, Sir M. O'Logia len 4 ' and a long list of distinguished equity la w Yt His opinions were always held in high r e p ute There was a calmness, a gravity, a concisene ss / and a clearness in his statement of a case which we rn surpassed only by the extraordinary powers of ward Pennefather. He was called to the bar in 180 and soon acquired a large and lucrative practice. We need not enter into the various steps of his P r j; motion, but it may be interesting to know how Blackburne conducted himself i n the trials i f offences under the Insurrection Act, in the first ~:;, ministration of the M arqu i s o f W e llesley. office was a repulsive one, and though there wa s - cry of "no mercy" then, as there is now, he disre o garded it, and discharged his duty without undu severity. While urging the necessity of repress.ef disorder, he did not fail to impress the gentry the necessity of curbing their passions, an d d e aling mercifully and kindly with the people. " I 311-1 ato &bled," said he, " from my observations, to scats that the national character contains many 0 01 1 / d of good. They are a generous and high -min ", c people--kind, affectionate, and warm-hearted' docile to power, and obedient to authority, unless led away by extraneous causes. They are disorder l y and revengeful, but that arises from their quick sell; sibility to justice. It is among your permanee, duties as landlords and magistrates to cultivate anu foster to maturity so much imperfect excellence. You have it in your power — G od grant you maY exercise it to your own safety and the happine ss and tranquillity of those whom Providence has com mitted to your care." At his suggestion one of the most notorious of the magistrates was deprived of the commission of the peace. Mr. Blackburne was the adviser of the Crown in many of those stormy events which colour a large portion of our history, from the days of the Catholic Association down to the " settlement" of the tithe question. He assisted Mr. Stanley, now Lord Derby, in preparing the Tithe Rent Charge and Church Temporalities Acts, both admirable specimens of legislative draughts manship. He twice filled the office of Attorney- General and Lord Chancellor. He was also L ord Chief Justice, Master of the Rolls, and Lord Jus tice of Appeal, a series of dignities never before filled by any member of the bar. His social acquire m ents contributed to the esteem in whi ch he was held by a large circle of admiring friends• ths , taste for music was exquisite. In his more youthfu l : days he sang with a sweetness and a pathos whit Moore said gave an additional charm to Irish mein dies. His knowledge of the arts was varied and tensive; in fact, if we were to look around for tuna model of an Irish gentleman we know none wh n so we should prefer to Francis Blackburne.
