The more "in dignant" cabmen seem to have held that if they were to be at home by 4 they must letyve the ranks by a quarter to 4 ; and as the quarter -was chimed by the Westminster clock a number of the cabinet) in Old Palace-yard drove away, as nearly in a body aq 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 •ere 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 sympathisel 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 they 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. r " ;) I[l - URRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES.

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 an 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 public 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 ago, 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 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 ball 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 iu 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 diM- Culty be suppressed. The first question touched on was that of the duty, and Mr. 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 — £75 15s. for the cab proprietor as against £l5 for the postmaster. Mr. COCHRANE, 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. He and his 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 14s. 2d., 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 £2,784 13s. 2d., and spent £2,722 11s. 60., leaving a balance of £l2 profit above the 255. a week each. He looked upon a cab as much a necessity 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 in the House of Commons in 1853 by Mr. Fitzroy, in whose honour they bad christened sixpences " Fazes." Mr. Fitz roy had urged the introduction of the 6d. 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 bad 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 in 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 wasted 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 " /could actually walk to Cockspur-street to get a cab to the Conservative for Gd." _ _ Lord ELciro, 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. The other day a cabman who drove him to Kensington Museum asked for his support, and the conversation which ensued led to au 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 6 ,1 ., although a cab was at times absolutely necessary to them ; but the question did not affect the poor only : all classes had to be considered, and the want of many 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 tke Street Act of last ses- Aon suspended until a committee of the House of Commons had considered the whole subject, and recommended a course satisfactory to the public, the proprietors, and the drivers. On Monday the secretary 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 slspension of the clauses. The secretary could not promise this, but bAieved the committee wculd consent. He saw Mr. Hardy last evening, m ith 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 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 he 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 carts carried lights. In conclu sion, he noticed that the resolutions charged, the 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 iu 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. He 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 added ‘.e6 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 GI 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 adverti,ing the meeting bad been taken, and that every cabyard had been visited by the police that evening to see whether the men were out or not. lie 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 impoEsible 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 be £27 103. a year. Mr. Evans, who se conded the motion, calculated that the lamp to his hansom cost him 31d. for cocoanut oil each winter night. The oil cost 2id. 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. He 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 equally 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 dayuntil 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 acting committee might come to after hearing the Home Secretary's answer to-day. We interpret this as meaning that if the answer be favourable tae cabs will be at work as usual this evening. As the meeting was closing, at half-past 11, the CHAIRMAN 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'cloek, 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 in 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' Association, left his place on the platform of Exeter-hal!, and appeared at the front entrance, where he announced that a supplementary meeting would be held in Trafalgar-square. The two crowds—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. He 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, Nir hen 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 puperanOntzi than ever, If the carryin of lamps was ctura well worth so crowded that ders of applaus e mPion gymnast! crowned their theatre without in which it is L Hated, and more here the visitor .he snobbism Of )NCERTS. lcrr Hausa, wh o performan ces of his intended Concert Booms, vas all classicaL 't, Hummel, and hi g lOY, ho too iich characterise • - !3 , of cxecuti( LcII. lfis comp& ,tieal, as well 1 doubtless talc' .;;; of the Ingo,- 1 lake place, 0.11 30th, rebrualY lie Adelina W att► ling her engage- Cotton, ne sonse of the Lich they foil t(3 r convulses their sping for breat h dicate their ay' Dying absurditi Lnd the " ti it° Barnum's, has ppendication.,,e! l e good gall,'" h au irrepress: i his tail and 0 ;Mite Elephant: Nature in 1115 clicroug ani mal ' t Loves with tb 0.11 the sure enotio recative of mor e cc Horace Gl ee ; Lance , wande re : en he meant t ical exhibition: the rapidity ° s-eye.

No change in the law had been de manded by the cabmen nor by the public at large. 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 policman and discredit a cabman s statement. (This state ment was uuive(l with great applause.) Mr. BARNES observed that it wvi impossibly, to have a regular resolution, because in the absisuce of any light or CO'AVOIIieIIG,, for writing it c)ill not be put on paper. lie did not say tll9 lamp question wag everything, but it was'the last i itlictiou which had driven the alre 1 ly overburdened cabdrivers and cab owners to make a stand against further opposition.

By this course they should keep within the law, for they were deterrniaed not to take an illegal course under 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 them selves from the meeting, which aboutthis time num bered about 1,000, rushed at the vehicle. The lug gage was removed from the roof, the passenger ejected, the horse unharnessed, and the cab upset. Mr. CROMPTON expressed his deep regret at ':ne outrage, and said it would greatly damage titeir cause. (Great applause.) The resolution was unanimously carried, and th e meeting then broke up. MR. CHARLES DICKENS 1N 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, hoe 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 immediately to 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 IVendell Holmes, General Sherwin, Hon. Josiah Quincy, James Fields, of the publish ing firm of Tickner and F ields, 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 'Temple 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 ono of uninterrupted pleasure, and while declining for the present all public ovations, he nevertheless feels profoundly gratified for 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. 11re rcad :—" Charles Dickens arrived at Boston on Tuesday, the 19th of November, by the steamer Cuba. Seven thousand of the philosophers of the Ilub,' in breeches and in petticoats, awaited his arrival ou 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 this, 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 sort of refined Barnum, with all the enterprise and none of the vulgarity of the notorious showman. The Boston journals 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 ecstacies 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 for 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 afford 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 scat may double, if need be ,that sum. 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 of 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 listen to our advice, so far as to moderate their enthusiasm in behalf of Dickens as to abstain from making themselves ridiculous. We think they might do this, and still manifest their hearty appreciation of his genius. But it arrears to he useless to try to check eny of tinx.e 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." SACRILEGE.—The new church of St. Clement'e, Notting-hill, was broken into late on Saturday night. The thieves succeeded in carrying off the communion cloths, all the robes, curtains, and other effects. They wore, however, disappointed in not finding the church plate, which is always kept elsewhere. Other instances of saeri lege in the neighbourhood of Loudon are resorted. NEW NOVEL BY MRS.
