No change.in the law ha\ manded by the cabmen nor by the public iitArge.a The demand entirely proceeded from the Legisla ture and from Sir Richard Mayne. Mr. Crompton entered at length into various grievances of the cab men, and dwelt especially upon the hardship of their being exposed to so many and to so heavy penalties. These, he said, in many cases were unjustly en forced, because most magistrates seemed to feel themselves bound to believe the word of a policeman and discredit a cabman s statement. (This stafr ment was r ceive 1 with great applause.) Mr. BARSES observed that it w is impossible to have a regular resolution, because in the absence of any light or co . avenienc for writing it c )111 not be put on paper, lle did not say the lamp question was everything, but it w.ts the last ilfliction which had driven the already overburdened cabdrivers and cab owners to make a stand against further opposition. Let t'lem have soon amount of freedom, and they wordd supply goo 1 drivers, good cab -, li:fits and all. The resolution he had to propose was that until this question W.. 13 settled no cab 5110011 nppar in the streets after nightfall. By this course they shnol i i keep within the law, for they were determined no:, to take an illegal mrse nnder any circumstances. Amid the applause with which this statement was received a cab was observed passing by Charing, cross, near Northumberland House, and a cry was raised of " Turn him over." It was answered by a much more general cry of " No, no ; no violence." About 40 or 50 persons, however, separating thew,- selves from the meeting, which about this time nra n .. bered about 1,000, rushed at the vehicle. The lug gage was removed from the roof, the pn:sseager ejected, the horse unharnessed, and the cab upset. Mr. CROMPTON expressed his deep regret at the outrage, and said it would greatly damage their cause. (Great applause.) The resolution was unanimously carried, and the meeting then broke up.

GABItIEL DENTISTS (Established 1815) of London 66, Raney -street, Cavendish-square, •• Liverpool 133, Duke•street and Brighton ..• 3B, North street, have just published a NE W I'A3IPHLET exp:.aining their Painless System of Dentistry, and self-adhesive Teeth with out springs, at MODERATE CIIARGES, which may be hal free by post for four stamps THE CAB STRIKE. From 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in most of the principal thoroughfares of the city and the rest of the metropolis, the ordinary street cabs, as a rule, ceased to run. At all the metropolitan railway sta tions and the various stands there were none to be found, and throughout the whole evening it was rare to see a single cab between the Royal Exchange and Charing-cross. As au exception, whenever one made its appearance, which it occasionally did, the driver was hooted by some of his own fraternity, who congregated in the principal streets, or were on their way to or from the indignation meeting, as it may be called, at Exeter-hall. The difference in the appearance of the streets resulting from so large a withdrawal of the ordinary traffic can hardly be conceived by those who did not witness it, or who do not recollect the similar strike in the late Mr. Fitzroy's tenure of office in the Home Department. It would be still more difficult to estimate the con sequent inconvenience to the publi c or the loss to the cab proprietors and drivers. Most of our readers will be aware that the strike has its origin in the provision in the New Metropolitan Street Traffic Act which requires every cab to be provided with a lamp at night, both in the interest of the public and of the proprietors and drivers themselves. On the ground of the at tendant cost chiefly, and also on that of the diffi culty of adapting a lamp to an ordinary square cab, the masters and men object to this regulation. A few evenings age, when the Amendment Bill de signed to remedy the grievances of the coster mongers was under consideration in the House of Commons, Alderman Lawrence tried to procure the repeal of the obnoxious clause, on behalf of the cab proprietors ; but in vain, and by way of retaliation the trade has had recourse to a strike, which threatens to last until the beginning of January. PALACE-YARD. Like all other cab-stands that in Old Palace-yard, Westminster, was deserted by public vehicles last evening. The attendance of members was compa ratively small, and possibly those present were pre pared for the emergency, of which the placards on the cabs themselves had given ample notice. It was, lowever, a line of small print which requesflel all drivers to be at home by 4 o'clock ; it was Dot oue to be read if either reader or cab were running., and no doubt (3 , 111 e were unprepared for the withdrawal of the vehicles at so early an hour. The more "in dignant.' c bmen seem to have held that if they were to be at home by 4 they must leave the ranks by a quarter to 4 ; and as the quarter was chimed by the Westminster clock a number of the cabmen in Old Palace-yard drove away, as nearly in a body as they could, cracking their whips, shouting, and jeering the few who remained. These seem to have thought it allowable to take a fare up to 4 o'clock, and, truth to say, some of them were anxious for engagements that should carry them over the hour. One by one they were taken up until, when the hour arrived, there were in the yard a private carriage, a four-wheeler, and a pri vate Hansom, pre-engaged to wait for members whom they had brought down, and one solitary dis engaged Hansom. As the clock struck the driver flourished his whip, looking eagerly round for a fare, and when it had ceased striking he drove off. After wards one or two members arrived in cabs, which departed immediately they had set down their fares. The remainder of the night none but private cabs entered and left the yard. As these passed along the streets their drivers were shouted at, asked what they were doing out, and told to go home, some times by drivers of other vehicles who sympathised with the " cabbies," and sometimes by idle lads in the streets. Of course, these demonstrations were made on the mistaken assumption that the drivers were dissentients from the anti-lamp movement, and that the cabs were plying in spite of the strike, whereas theff happened to be private cabs, bound by contract to perform a certain service, and there fore morally exempt from such a movement as that of last evening. THE CABMAN'S CASE. The cabmen met last night in Exeter Hall to concert measures to procure amendment of those clauses of the Street Act of last session which affect them. They filled the hall in every part, and. the chairman, Mr. Gower, of Barbican, congratulating them on their numbers, told them that the hall was calculated -" to carry" upwards of 5,000 persons. Large numbers of men were unable to gain ad mission, and these were conducted by a driver well known among them to Trafalgar-square, and there harangued from the pedestal of Nelson's column. The meeting in the hall was kept in ex cellent order by a number of men stationed in the gangways, who, acting promptly on the hint from the chairman, stayed any too extravagant exhibitions of feeling ; indeed, the only disturbance throughout the evening arose from the summary ejectment of a not very sober cab proprietor from the platform in consequence of his persistent deter mination to speak. The cabmen's grievance as dis closed in the course of the evening resolved itself into three points—the duty, which was declared exorbitant ; the mileage, which was pronounced insufficient ; and the lamps, which were altogether objected to. Resolutions were come to urging the necessity of amendments in each of these respects, and mention was made by some of the speakers of certain minor grievances, such as the payment by the cab proprietors of £12,000 a year to the railway companies for permission to enter the stations ; this charge they required should be altogether abolished. Another matter of great interest was the supervision exercised by Scotland-yard. As the secretary put it, " We don't want a strike; it costs us too much; but the giving of more power to Scotland-yard, that we cannot stand." The anger of the cabmen at Sir Richard Mayne broke out on every possible occa sion ; they seemed to look upon him as the cause of all their troubles, real and imaginary, and when one of the speakers demanded the reason why unclaimed lost property should not revert to the cabman as it remained in the hands of the railway companies, their indignation with the police could with diffi culty be suppressed. The first question touched on was that of the duty, and 11r. BALDWIN, an old proprietor, moved the resolution against it. He stated that in round numbers the cabman paid £2O a year duty for every £5O worth of property he worked. The £2O was made up of £lB ss. a year duty and £1 a year for licence ; and £5O represented the average price of a cab and horse. The post-horse masters could keep their carriages and four horses for £l5 a year duty ; three cabs and only three horses cost a cab pro prietor £54 155., the newly-imposed lamps would cost £2l more, so that the case stood in this way— £7s 15s. for the cab proprietor as against £l5 for the postmaster. Mr. COCIIRANE, the seconder of the resolution, pointed out that the cab proprietors paid £122,040 a year in taxes, a sum which would take the Abys sinian expedition a long way towards King Theo dore. Ile then stated his own case. lie an d hi s partner owned 14 cabs, and they paid four times as much in the form of duty as in rental, and twice as much as they both received out of the business. In 1865 they took £2,677 14 s. 2 d., and spent £2,668 10s. 21d., including 255. a week each for their work of 14 hours a day. The balance left them £9 4s. to divide at the end of the year as the profit on the working of £BOO worth of property. In 1866 they took £2,781 13s. 2fd., and spent £2,722 11s. 6id., leaving a balance of £l2 profit above the 255. a week each. He looked upon a cab as much a mcessity as tea, wine, tobacco, insurance policies, or as omnibuses, and asked for a reduction of duty. With reference to the general question he endorsed Mr. Cole's expression of opinion at the Society of Arts that fares should be left for the public to settle and that the public should be the inspectors. Then he dealt with the arguments used iu the House of Commons in 1853 by Mr. Fitzroy, in whose honour they had christened sixpences " Fitzes." Mr. Fitz roy had urged the introduction of the Gd. because it was seldom gentlemen had change, and they would in that case be obliged to give a shilling, and he had suggested that the cabman could well afford that reduction, because while oats were at 235. 10d. in 1831, when the eightpenny tariff was fixed in 1853 they were only 19s. Bd. To-day, however, oats were 295. Gd. The cabmen of Liverpool and Bir mingham had a shilling. How much more then should the men of London, with their heavier taxes ? And as for the Paris cabmen, he had been told that it gave one the itch to ride in their vehicles after a London hansom. He didn't believe there were any such whips iu the world as those on the London hansoms, who, in case of need, could carry a gentleman from London-bridge to Padding ton in half an hour. They only wanted paying, and it was a mistake to suppose that they were best paid in the West-end ;he could state as a fact that when the House was sitting some members " Nould actually walk to Coekspur-street to get a cab to the Conservative for Gd." _ _ Lord ELcito, who had shortly before arrived, was then introduced by the Chairman ; he was received with rounds of cheers, and, in the first place, ex plained why he had come, in order that it might not be thought he was popularity hunting. Th e other day a cabman who drove him to Kensington Museum asked for his support, and the conversation which ensued led to an interview the next day be tween him and three representatives of the cabmen, at which he promised to see Mr. Hardy. He saw him on Friday night, and expressed his opinion that the duty was already too heavy, without having the cost of the lamp added to it ; that the matter had been decided too hastily last session ; and that the whole question of metropolitan traffic required further consideration. This was necessary, not only because of the present hitch, but for other reasons. There were some who could afford not more than 6d., although a cab wasat times absolutely necessary to them ; but the question did not affect the poor only : all classes had to be considered, and the want of molly was a conveyance better than a sixpenny cab, and less costly than a half-guinea brougham. Whether free trade would supply this was a subject for inquiry. He therefore recommended Mr. Hardy to get the cab clauses in Ike Street Act of last ses sion suspended until a committee of the Ilouse of Commons had considered the whole subject, and recommended a course satisfactory to the public, the proprietors, and the drivers. On Monday the s•:crctary waited on him again, and he asked whether the committee would allow things to go on as usual if Mr. Hardy would agree, if possible, to secure the suspension of the clauses. The secretary could not promise this, but believed the committee wculd consent. Ile saw Mr. Hardy last evening, %%WI Lord Derby; and, although they could not give a decisive answer upon the subject., they empowered him to say they would receive a deputation, of say three drivers and three proprietors, to-day at 1 1 o'clock. He would introdUce the deputation, and perhaps before that time the Government would have made up its mind about the matter. He had no authority for saying so, but be believed the an swer would be favourable. He urged upon Mr. Hardy on the principle that sauce to the goose is sauce to the gander, that if cabs were compelled to use lamps, lamps also should be _carried by Pick ford's vans and gentlemen's carriages. The custom of carrying lights in France was not confined to Paris, or to carriages, but extended throughout the country, and to all descriptions of vehicle ; even the common country carte carried lights. In conclu sion; he notidectllfati -the .resrfintiont - - chtegectthe Legislature with " bungling," and recommended the cabmen " to resist the law ;" he suggested that, in order to avoid offence, these words should be struck out, and that the cabmen might show they were loyal and law abiding, After some discus sion, which threatened to be angry at one time, the suggestion was complied with. The motion in favour of increased mileage was moved by Mr. SELLAS, who said it was quite a mis take to suppose that the shilling hiring from the stand would keep empty cabs from the streets. Besides the consideration that a cabman might be required to go two miles for the shilling, there was another and more important one. Even if the shilling did keep cabs on the stand it would be most effectual in keeping people off ; Mrs. Skin flint would not send to the stand for a cab, she would wait until one passed by, on the principle that he would be satisfied with sixpence or he would not be on the road. Ile was much amused at the difficulty experienced by Sir Richard Mayne to find a place to put the lamp; if placed on the side it would be in the way of getting the luggage up and down ; if on the top the driver would hide it; and if on the dashboard the horse might put his tail before it, and some horses having a knack of cocking their tails up it might thus be rendered unfit for public use. The difficulty, however, could be easily got over if the cabman was placed in a position to afford lamps. The motion was seconded by Mr. G. SMITH, who had driven a cab for 15 years, and had never been taken before a magistrate. He said the cabman had already five Acts of Parliament, with an ag gregate of 576 clauses, and that, he should have thought, was sufficient without the new one. The penalties imposed by these Acts amounted in all to £5O, so that every time a driver mounted the box he made himself liable to that extent. The new Act aided £6 to the £5O. As to the cabstand ques tion, Sir Richard Mayne stated in his evidence that there were 250 stands in London, capable of accom modating 2,471 cabs; but it happened that London had 5,877 cabs, so that the 3,406 had to go on what they called " the long rank," and then they were liable to 6d. fares and a summons. In conclusion, Mr. Smith drew a round of hisses from his hearers by reminding them that the numbers of all the cabs which had bills on them advertising the meeting had been taken, and that every cabyard had been lisited by the police that evening to see whether the men were out or not. Ile believed there was an object in this, and he hoped Lord Elcho and others who sympathised with them would see that no harm came to them on account of it. The mover of the resolution against the lamps de clared that it was impossible to do with only one lamp for a cab, although only one was carried. He calcu lated that to carry out the directions issued the charge would bi £27 103. a year. Mr. Evans, who se conded the motion, calculated that the lamp to his hansom cost him 3)d. for cocoanut oil each winter night The oil cost 2d. a gill, and a gill was not sufficient to keep the lamp going from half past three until two in the morning, and although the lamp cost 14s. it sometimes failed, and he seemed deeply impressed with the con viction that if it failed by accident, however far beyond the driver's control, the police and the magistrate would give him no quarter. He con cluded by summing up the cabman's virtues. lie is not the man who beats his wife, nor he who gets fined for drunkenness, but he is the man who brings murderers such as Muller to justice. The cab pro prietors were epally worthy ; they never opened British Banks, or .got up London, Chatham, and Dover Railways. He therefore asked for justice at the hands of Parliament, and reminding the meet ing that members of the House of Commons were not to be moved by intimidation, he recommended them to work their case by legitimate means, and show they were loyal subjects. He was proceeding to instil a few teetotal principles into their minds, and to offer himself as a commendable example, when he was constrained to conclude by cries of " Question !" A fourth resolution pledged the proprietors and drivers to withdraw their cabs from the streets at four o'clock each day until the first Monday in January, and if redress was not forthcoming at that time, to take out licenses to enable them to let from the yard, and thus save three-fourths of the duty, and be rid of the lamp charge into the bargain. It was, however, also resolved, with a view to carry out Lord Elcho's suggestion, that the meeting would act in accordance with any decision their acing committee might come to after hearing the Home Secretary's answer to-day. We interpret this as meaning that if the answer be favourable the cabs will be at work as usual this evening. As the meeting was closing, at half-past 11, the CIIAIR3IAN announced the receipt of a sympathetic letter from Sir G. Bowyer, M.P. TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. A meeting of cabdrivers was held last evening, shortly before 8 o'clock, in Trafalgar-square, by adjournment from Exeter-hall, which was found too small to accommodate the immense numbers who had assembled. The entrances to Exeter. hall iu the Strand and Exeter-street had been crowded by ap plicants for admission, who appeared much discon tented at being unable to enter, and not thoroughly satisfied by the assurance that the house was full. In consequence of this Mr. Crompton, secretary of the Cabdrivers' Associati)n, left his place on the platform of Exeter-hall, and appeared at the front entrance, where he announced that a supplementary meeting would be held in Trafalgar-square. The I wo crowdi.—that at the main entrance in the Strand and that at the west entrance in Exeter—street-- then proceeded to Trafalgar-square. They pro ceeded to the Nelson Column, and Mr. Crompton who presided, surrounded by some of the leaders of the movement, took up a position between the lions. lie said the object of the meeting was one which touched the interests of the cabmen, who had to maintain their homes, their wives, and fami lies, and who were now about to be robbed in a manner which no other class of the com munity would submit to. For many years, and even in the old times, when the streets of London were ill lighted, lamps upon the cabs had not been required, and it was absurd to impose a heavy tax upon the poor cabmen now when improvements in the metropolis rendered such arrangements more superfluous than ever. If the carrying of lamp was MR. CHARLES DICKENS I.V AMERICA. A letter from Boston of the 19th ult. says :-- " The great event in Boston to-day has been the arrival of Charles Dickens from Europe per the steamer Cuba. Through the agency of the tele graph announcements were made which gave cur rency to the belief that the Cuba and the distin— guished novelist would arrive in the middle of the afternoon, and though there was no public ovation or demonstration contemplated, a crowd of several thousand persons assembled around the wharf where the steamer was expected, and in spite of the in clement weather remained until the failure of their desire was assured. if the Cuba had made her time Mr. Dickens would have been in Boston at 3 o'clock, and inasmuch as there was the unusual interruptions of half a dozen hours from Halifax the fears of a disaster were not without some shadow of foundation. At about half-past 7 o'clock, ha: - ever, it was announced from the Old State House News Room that the Cuba was approaching Hull, on her course to Boston, and that she had been boarded by the United States tug boat Hannibal Hamlin, and Mr. Dickens taken on board. The tugboat proceeded immediatelyto Boston, and arrived at Long Wharf an hour in advance of the Cuba. Among those who were on board the tugboat were Mr. Dolby, agent of Mr. Dickens ; Collector Russell, of the port of Bos ton ; Oliver Wendell Holmes, General Sherwin, Hon. Josiah Quincy, James Fields, of the publish ing firm of Tickner and Fields, and several other literary celebrities. After the customary greetings and congratulations, a repast was served on board the Hamlin, and when it was finished she had arrived at her dock in Boston. The party then took carriages and proceeded immediately to the Parker-house, where Mr. Dickens will remain until his departure for New York. The first series of his readings will begin in Tremont 'I emple on the evening of December 2, and his first in New York will be given on the evening of the 9th. Mr. Dickens's voyage from Liverpool to Boston was one of uninterrupted pleasure, and while declining for the present all public ovations, he nevertheless feels profoundly gratifiei fur the many manifestations of welcome which the American people have already shown towards him. Mr. Dolby, his advance agent, has already disposed of some 8,000 tickets for his first series of Boston readings, and there is no apparent diminution in the number of appli cants. A considerable number of them have probably been bought up by speculators." The New York, Herald comments upon the arrival in its characteristic style. We read :--" Charles Dickens arrived at Boston on Tuesday, the 19th of November, by the steamer Cuba. Seven thousand of the philosophers of the Ilub,' in bruches and in petticoats, awaited his arrival on the dock, but they lost the opportunity of wel coming him with the usual demonstrations of toady ism, inasmuch as he left the steamer on a tug, and directly he landed hastened to his hotel in Shool street. To make amends for the loss of a chance to take the horses from his carriage and to haul him up to Parker's, the Bostonians all met before sun rise on the first day of the sale of the tickets for his readings in the tri-mountain city, and, besieging, the bookstore of his publishers, created a furore un equalled since that excited by his arrival in the same city 25 years ago. The police force had to be sum moned in order to preserve peace and order among the eager purchasers of tickets. Nothing like ti is, furore has been occasioned since his first visit, unless we except that which marked the reception of Jenny Lind on her arrival in this country. Mr. Dolby the agent to Mr. Dickens, appears to be a tort of refined Barnum, with all the enterprise and none of the vulgarity of the notorious showman. The Boston j airnals inform us that Mr. Dolby has already disposed of more than 8,000 tickets for Mr. Dickens's first course of readings in Boston. But Mr. Dolby seems to have failed to profit by our recent suggestion—that the price of tickets for Mr. Dickens's readings might safely be put at a higher figure than he has set upon them. The conse quence of this mistake is that speculators have got possession of no inconsiderable number of tickets, and are selling them at twenty dollars each. By the time that Mr. Dickens reaches New York it seems not unlikely that the price of tickets will advance to one 'hundred dollars, or more. At his first visit Boston fell into ccstacies over him. The excitement occasioned by his arrival was in the beginning like a cloud no bigger than a man's hand, but it soon swelled to a hurricane of adulation, which afterwards reached its height at the Dickens Ball in New York, and then subsided. It will be easy fol.' the New Yorkers to beat the Bostonians if the former think fit to enter into competition with the latter. If the Bos tonians can assemble seven thousand people to wel come Dickens, we can assemble, at equally short notice, seventy thousand. We can affcrd to pay higher prices for tickets than even those demanded by the Boston speculators. We can have an auction, at which some rival of the latter who made his for tune by bidding $212 for a reserved seat may double, if need be ,that suns. We do not know what has become of Genin, who became famous for the highest bid at Jenny Lind's first concert, but here is cer tainly a chance for Knox to become equally famous. Dickens might have spared himself the trouble of bringing over any London clothes, for the tailors and hatters and bootmakers cf Boston and New York must be ready and eager to take his measure and supply him with a complete outfit, replenishing it as often as circumstances may require. Neither Bostonians nor New Yorkers seem disposed to bsteu to our advice, so far as to moderate their enthusiasm in behalf of Dickens as to al-stain from malting themselves ridiculous. We think they might do th's, and still manifest their hearty appreciation of his genius. But it appears to be useless to try to check any of those storms of popular excitement which periodically agitate the American mind, whether caused by Jenny Lind, Japanese Tommy, the Prince of Wales, or Mr. Dickens. We can only advise the public to keep as cool as possible, and Mr. Dolby to make the most of the latest sensa tion' as long as it lasts."
