As the gathering is very popular with the Londoners there was a goodly attendance, and an average ring and stand, but there was an absence of the "swells" and big bookmakers who Patronised the Lincoln Meeting. Nevertheless there was plenty of speculation upon the four races decided during the afternoon. For the Handicap Plate no less than 15 competitors faced the starter, and of these Marquis of Worcester was made the favourite, and the result proved that the talent were not wrong in their calculations, for he won from end to end. The two-year-old race was won by Alarmist, a colt by Vedette—Barometer. The other races aresufficiently socivesseridbelow Plate (Handicap); : a — bout three-quarters of a l aie o f 4o mile.

Yester day, on its resumption, Mr. Fricker moved an amendment that it was not desirable that the Court should purchase the picture. This was seconded by Mr. Cox, late M.P. for FifiSbury, who objected to the purchase on the ground that the pictu• e iu several respects was :lot historically true—that it contained, in particular, the portrait of an alder man v. ho was not, in fact, an alderman at that time. He amused the meeting by relating how much he had I een impertuned to sit fur his portrait to apps ar in the picture, though he nas not at the ceremony, and by d. dining to say how many portraits Mr. Melville had indicated, any of which, he said, could be painted out to make room for his if he would favour him with a sitting. Ile peretnptolily refused on the ground that it would be a fraud for his portrait to appear when he had not been present at the ceremony, and there the matter ended as far as he was concerned. There were, he said, 30 or 40 persons represented in the picture who were not pre sent at all, and that in the number of portraits which had been crowded into the picture those of the Prince and Princess of 'Wales were compara tively hidden. The subject again led to a long discussion, and eventually the amendment that it was not desirable to purchase the picture was car ried. On that being put as a substantive motion, Deputy:Fry moved as an amendment that the sub ject be referred to the City Lands Committee for further consideration, but that amendment was negatived on a division by 80 to 59, the result being that the Court resolved upon not purchasing the picture. A petition was presented by Mr. H. Aaron Isaacs from the Society of Coal Merchants of London, praying the Court to co-operate with them in opposing certain clauses of the Traffic Re gulation (Metropolis) Bill. He stated that if the labourers employed in coaling or carting coal were employed at night as well as day, as required by the bill, a loss of £700,000 a year would result to the public living within a radius of four miles from Charing-cross ; in other words, the price of coals would be increased 2s. 6d. a ton upon a consump tion within that radius of 6,000,000 tons. The petition was referred to the Police and the Law and Parliamentary Committees conjointly to take such steps in the matter as they might think desirable. The Court then adjourned. The Fenian Raid in Ireland. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) CAIIIRCIVEEN, VALENTIA, Thursday Evening. A farmer living near Cahirciveen was arrested last night for attempting to administer the Feni an oath to a soldier of the 14th Regiment. The pri soner, with three others who have been committed for trial for being present at the attack on the Coast-guard station at Kells, were sent off to Tralee this morning in charge of the troops and consta bulary. Considerable sympathy was shown by the population for the prisoners. - - General Horsford and staff left Killarney this afternoon for Kenmare and Cabirciveen. A troop of the 12th Lancers attended as escort. DURLIN, Feb. 21. Fifty of the persons arrested in steamers from English ports, and confined in Richmond Bride well, have been set at liberty, on condition that they will return at once to England, and not visit this country again. From the time of their arrest most of them are sail to have made the most solemn promises never more to have anything to say to Fenianisin if the Government would only have mercy on them and let them off. As they belonged to the class of ignorant dupes, and not to that of the foreign emissaries, against whom the Lord- Lieutenant said in his speech the hand of justice should be armed, they were discharged. About 100 persons arrested under similar circumstances are still in custody. The Clare Assizes were opened on Tuesday by Mr. Justice O'Brien. There were only seven cases for trial, most of them of ordinary character, while the returns of the County Inspector show that the calendar fairly represents the state of the county as to crime. John Hoare, director of the East Ilolyprd Mining Company, and promoter of the National Fishing Company of Ireland, is in the Insolvent Court. On cross-examination he admitted that there was no board of directors legally appointed, and that he himself was only a director nominally. Ile was associated with two others, who formed the " com panies," the operations of which were confined to the circulation of promising circulars and the draw ing of checks on the National Bank till the two or three thouslnd pounds deposited there on the foot of scrip was exhausted. The insolvent was opposed by several creditors, and Judge Miller remanded him for 12 months. The Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway Com pany held its 43d half-yearly meeting yesterday ; Mr. J. Barlow in the chair. The report showed that the goods traffic has been increasing from year to sear. A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. was declared. There was a lengthened discussion on the subject of amalgamation with the Dublin and Drogheda line, for which the public have been calling for a long time. Mr. P. M'Evoy Gartlan moved a resolution with that object, which was rejected. Thursday Evening. Mr. A. Smith Barry was this clay elected for the county of Cork, Mr. Vincent Scully having retired. REFORM MEETINGS. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. ISSUE OF £652,300 OP 5 PER CENT. DEBENTURE CAPITAL, REDEEMABLE AT £l2O PER £lOO. Scrip will be issued against banker's receipts for pay ment of the deposit or instalments, which will be ex changed when fully paid up for th e definitive debentures. The Great Eastern Railway Company are authorised by their special Acts, including their act of last session, to issue debentures to the amount of £6,529,441, of which- by the return certified under the Railway Securities Act, 1866, there remains unissued £652,347. This amount of debenture capital is issued against £20,791,452 of authorised share capital, of which £17,347,731 has been paid up. The gross income for the year 1866 was £1,883,000, and the net income £875,000, on which a large increase is cer tain by the reduction of working expenses, and on the com pletion of the Metropolitan Extension, the Whitechapol Coal Depot, and other works. The first' charge on the line for debenture interest and rents of leased lines (including the whole of the deben tures now to be issued) will be £530,000 a-year, so that, even with the present traffic, there is a margin of £345,000 a-year of net income over the total amount of first charge. In order to secure the issue of the whole remaining amount at once, and in a manner which obviates the incon venience of renewals at short dates, it has been resolved to offer it in a form which practically makes it a debenture stock, suitable for permanent investment, and at a rate so cheap as to offer an inducement to the Shareholders and public to take it up. Tho advantage of a permanent debenture stock, redeem able by half-yearly reductions in the nature of a sinking fund, so that the repayment of capital is secured by an annual payment as well as interest, is apparent from the recent legal decisions, which show that the security of the debenture as a fixed and first charge upon not annual earning is unexceptionable, and admits of ready legal en forcement. This system also benefits the debenture-holder by creating a large amount of uniform stock, which is of course more marketable. On the other hand the advantage to the Shareholders is obvious of a system which adds every year to the perma nent value of their property by extinguishing debt, while a small addition to the interest to be used as a sinking fund virtually costs nothing, being no more than the average cost of stamps, commissions, &e., in renewing short-dated bonds. The debentures now offered are in sums of £lOO each, or in larger sums at the option of the, holder, with coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable half-yearly, on Ist July and Ist January, and the capital to be redeemed by half-yearly reductions in the nature of a sinking fund of half per cent. applied cumulatively, i.e., together with the interest on the stock redeemed, by purchase in the open market as long as the price of the stock does not ex ceed 120 per 100 ; or if above that, by annual drawings, paying off the drawn stock at 120 per 100, by which the whole of the stock will be extinguished in 52; years. The Company will compound for the stamps, so that the debentures will be transferable by endorsement, without duty. Each debenture will be convertible into ordinary stock of the Company, at par, at the option of the holder, at any time during its currency, upon giving three months' notice in writing. The price of each £lOO debenture is £lOO, payable as follows : Deposit £lO on First Instalment, £2O on Second „ £2O on Third „ 1:20 on Fourth „ £2O on Fifth „ £lO on Allotment. Monday, Ist April.

SOUTITA3IPTON. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Reformers of Southampton was held at the Carlton-hall on Wednesday evening, presided over by Major-Gen. S. Tryon, J.P. The first resolution was moved by Mr. T. FALVEY, seconded by Mr. SAUNDERS (a working man), and supported by Mr. G. MoFFATT, M.P. for the borough, as follows :—" That the present representative system of the United Kingdom is in the highest degree unsatisfactory ; that it has been practically condemned in no fewer than seven different speeches from the Throne during the last 15 years, under the respective Administrations of Lord Russell, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Palmerston, and Lord Derby ; that it is most unjust in a free State to exclude by our electoril laws some millions of men from their due proportion of political power —and that in order to redress this great wrong it is absolutely necessary that there should be such a large and liberal extension of the elective franchise in counties and boroughs of the country as will pro vide for all classes a full, fair, and free representa tion in the Commons' House of Parliament. This meeting is also of opinion that the adoption of the ballot would be the most practicable and effectual mode of putting an end to bribery and corruption, and all improper influences at Parliamentary elec tions." In. a speech of some length Mr. Moffatt declared himself in favour of household suffrage and the ballot, believing that with there measures no fancy franchises need be introduced. He was wil ling that the other great topics of national business should stand over till the all-important question of Parliamentary Reform was settled; and added that, if the 13 resolutions now before the house of Com mons were alone discussed, Parliament would be occupied till after Whitsuntide, in which case there would be very little chance of any bill passing this the ln p t irl he had heard e se n t s c e r s ed si i o t n ior I g l o e o s d hou ia ld te gnitsie n a io Governmenttb e Ministerial explanations of Monday next ; but as their resolutions did not propose to deal with the cardinal points of the ballot and bribery, he did not believe they would tend to any sound measure of constitutional legislation. Qn taking the show of hands, the resolutiQn was carried with four dissentients only ; and those which followed were agreed to with still greater unanimity. The second resolution, which was moved byMr,. J. T. TUCKER, was as follows :—" That the 13 re.. solutions submitted to the House of Commons on the 11th instant by Mr. Disraeli are a craftily-devised medley of a few elementary-po litical truisms, many unmeaning platitudes, much unworthy suspicion of working men, and a large amount of deliberate deception ; that Feve ral of them are alike opposed tosound constitutional principles, Parliamentary usage, and even-handed justice, a discredit to the Government, and an insult to the country ; that they are totally untenable 53 ft b3sis of any honest R. form Bill, and, if not Ili. h drawn before Monday next, ought to be promptly and indignantly rejected." It was resolved that a petition to the House of Commons founded upon the foregoing resolutions should be signed by the chairman, and intrusted to Mr. Moffatt for presentation. Votes of thanks were aw. rded to Mr. Moffat, for his public services, for his support of the Reform Bill of last year in all its stages, and for his presence on this occasion ; to the Liberal members for Hampshire who supported Mr. Gladstone in his noble endeavour to widen and ex tend the basis of our representative institutions ; and to Major-Gen.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, Mr. Alderman Finnis acting as chairman. The Remem brancer having reported that a bill had been intro duced into Parliament for regulating the traffic of the metropolis, Mr. :Alderman Lawrence, 1%1.P., moved that a copy of it be sent to every member of the Court, and that the bill itself be referred to a committee, with authority for them to confer with such other branches of the Corporation as they might think it concerned. He made that proposition, he said, because the bill placed the Commissioners of Sewers entirely under the jurisdiction of the City Commissioners of Police, and in that respect deserved the careful consideration of every member of the Cor poration. The motion, with a modification suggested by Mr. Rudkin, chairman of the Markets Committee, as to the driving of cattle through the public streets, was agreed to. Mr. Alderman Lawrence, 111. P., ad verted to the report of a committee of the Metropo litan Board of Works in July, 18G3, to whom the bill for making the new street from Blackfriars to the Mansion-house had been referred, and he asked the cause of the delay which had taken place in making the proposed street—whether the works had yet, in fact, been commenced, and when the street was likely to be opened for public traffic. Mr. 11. L. Taylor, a representative of the corporation at the Metropolitan Board of Works, replied that he had reason to believe that about 120 houses of the Black friars end of the proposed street would be taken down within the next six weeks or two months. The Metropolitan Board, however, were not free to act of their own accord in the matter, being mixed up with and hampered by the company for carrying a railway below the level of the embankment. The low-level sewer, the railway, and the embankment were being carried on together. The contractors for the embankment objected to the railway contractors interrupting their operations, and the embankment contractors had possession of the ground. The rail way company were desirous of proceeding with the construction of their line. He did not know any thing as to their means. His opinion was it would be years before the works were completed. The Board of Works were to receive £200,000 in consi deration of the railway running under the embank ment and the street, but the act of Parliament did not compel the company to make the railway. It only gave them power to make it, and that being so the workmight be hung up for an indefinite time. Mr. C. Reed gave notice of motion to the effect that it be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Committee to consider and report forthwith to the Court as to the circumstances under which the Corporation was alleged to have lost its right of renewal over the property known as the Finsbury Estate, and held by lease from the Prebend of Finsbury. On the bringing up, by Mr. Alderman Stone, of a report from the Police Committee relative to the City Police infirmary, Mr. Medwin availed himself of the occasion to complain that the shield and badge of the City of Landon had been removed from the uniform of the police by direction of the City Com missioner of Police (Colonel Fraser), and without the consent of the Corporation. Mr. Alderman Stone objected to statements bein; made against the Commissioner behind his back. Mr. Deputy Elliott remarked that there never was a police organisation in better hands than those of the present Commis sioner, and contended that the police was a sort of army, and that the Common Council had no power whatever over the uniform of the force. A report was presented fron► Mr. Haywood, the engineer to the Commissioners of Sewers, as to the progress of the Holborn Valley Improvement. It stated that the principle of the bridge over Farringdon road having been determined, the work upon the abut ment bad been resumed ; that the works west of Farringdon-street, as far as Shoe-lane, had been brought up to the pre sent surface level, and that the excavations of St. Andrew's Church had been com menced and had very considerably advanced. A portion of the excavation of the churchyard had been completed, and the western abutments of the Shoe-lane bridge had been begun. The whole of the property on the southern side of the way from St. Andrew's churchyard to Bartlett's-buildings had been removed, preparations for the excavation com menced, and the temporary roadways to the places north of the viaduct were now being formed. The works between the Farringdon-road and the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway had been carried up to the present surface level, and the works cast of the railway had also been commenced. The arrangements for carrying a second line of railway beneath the viaduct were in a forward state, and be fore long that part of the work would also be in hand. The work of filling up Farringdon-road to the new levels had been begun, with a view to the construction of the western approach street, the largest part of the property required for which had been pulled down already. Generally, the works were in a state to be executed quickly on the return of spring. A report of the City Lands Committee was again brought under consideration, recom mending that the picture painted by Mr. Alexander Melville representing the ceremony of the presenta tion of the freedom of the city to his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales be purchased by the Cor poration for a sum not exceeding £5,000. The sub jest had given rise to a long discussion at a previous . WORCESTER. On Wednesday night a public meeting, convened by a newly-constituted local body calling itself the tester Reform League, was held at the Guild hall in that city. Mr. Councillor Woodward pre sided, and the room was crowded by men, chiefly of the operative class. Mr. WILKS, hatter, in a violent speech, in which he denounced. the Government resolutions as a sham moved, " That this meeting regards with great in dignation the conduct of the Government in propos ing resolutions of an indefinite character, and calcu lated only to waste time andpostpone the settlement of the great question." This was seconded by Mr. Alderman HILL, who denounced Mr. Disraeli's Fpeech in introducing the Government resolutions to the House of Commons as an exemplification of the celebrated remark of 9, celebrated man that language was given to man, to enable him to conceal his thoughts. The resolution was declared to be carried unani mously, as also was the following :—" That this meeting is of opinion that her Majesty's present ad visers are un worthy of public trust, and respectfully request its representatives, Mr. Padmore and Mr. Sherriff, to support any vote that may be proposed expressive of want of confidence in them on the part of the House of Commons." Mr. JOSEPH GRAINGER, in moving this resolution, called upon all who were present—he said he could not call them " fellow-citizens," because some of them had no votes—not to rest until they obtained universal suffrage. The only Reform Bill the Tories would ever introduce were the resolutions now before the House of Commons. The Tories never meant to give them Reform ; they only wanted to grind the faces of the people by taxation, taking care not to tax themselves in the same proportion as they did the working man. Other speeches were delivered of the same cha racter. Naval and Military Intelligence. The following officers at Chatham garrison have been placed under orders for embarkation :—Capt. G. C.

The Ironmongers' Company. A curious dispute is now pending between the Master and Wardens of the Ironmong , ?rs' Company, which is •one of the oldest and wealthiest of the guilds in the city of London, and the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Allhallows, Staining. This dispute has resulted in litigation, and an appeal is about to be made to one of the superior courts— probably thecourtof Queen's Bench—at the instance of the company, to decide which party is in the right, Fur many years the company have paid tithes to the parish in respect of their corporate hall, situate in Fencliurch-street, but in 18G5 they claimed exemp tion under an Act of Henry VIII., which provided that " the tithe rates should not extend to the houses of great men or noblemen and noblewomen, in their own lands, which are not let for any rent, and have paid no tithes, as long as they shall con tinue to be unlet ; nor to any kills of craft or com pany so halls lo did ngiasnotht in they are eimkeptpuasnt pay anylet,providingthe same tithes." The parish authorities allege that the company had raid tithes ever since the year 1700 without raising any objection, and now that the rate had increased, they claimed exemption under the Act of Henry Via The register-books have been searched from 1555, and the first payment to the parish that can be found is 3s. 4d., in 1719. The company ap pear to have gone on paying 35. 4d. a ye a r un til 1047, when they paid 17s. Bd., and that rate was continued till 1802, when it was increased to £2 ss. 9d. That greater sum was paid from 1802 till 1851, when it was raised to £3O, and afterwards to £503 year. The rate now claimed by the parish authorities in respect of the hall of the company is about .£lOO a year, and that they refused to pay, but were willing to pay £5O a year. The Master and Wardens were lately summoned before the Lord t themselves Act in o f Mayor to show cause why they refus e d t o pay £lB6 13s. 4d., alleged to t b it e hes due prior to the parish respect of their ball. On that o ccas i on, i t may be prove remembered, they h a t d h the n t companypaid could not to the Henry, but contended that it lay with the parish authorities to prove that they had.

A reasonable time having elapsed since this decision was pronounced, and th.! money, £lB6 odd, not having been paid, and the company having refused to pay, a distress warrant was issued under the hand of the Lord Mayor directing the sum to be levies upon their goods and chattels. This an officer from the Man sion-houai was sent a few d sys ago to the hall of the company to execute, accompanied by Mr • Mur rell, a gentleman acting on the pa rt of the was parish, and the ceremony on the occasion somewhat curious. Four fine candelabra belong ing to the company and t w o of their most cherished loving cups were placed upon a table, and of these the emissaries of the law too k fo rmal but The Master and only momentary possession. anticipating their visit, Wardens of the comp an y , entered into a replevin bo nd, and upon the execu tion of that the precious articles, which had never formally restored to them.
