The mansion was restored and beautifully embellished only a few years since. It is feared that a sad work of destruction has been going on. At the time the Ipswich correspondent wrote, the particulars of the disaster, which is supposed to have been caused by a flue, had not reached him. The Countess of Stadbroke, who has been recently confined, was safely removed. MARYLEBOI , .TE LITERARY INSTITUTION.—On Monday evening the seventh of a series of readings and performances announced for the session of 1866-7 took place at this institution, in Edwards-street, Portman ' square. The subject was "An Evening with Sir Walter Scott," and the reader was Mr. C. Nameurt. The pieces selected by Mr. Namourt were the scene describing the gathering of the clans in the "Lady of the Lake," and the deeply pathetic part of " The Bride of Lammermoor," representing the signing of the marriage contract by Lucy Ashton, and her subsequent death; and in each of those he betrayed an elocutionary ease, combined with an ap preciative knowledge of his subject, which did not fail to command the interest and attention of his audience. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, _FEBRUARY 27, 1867. PiIOPCSED REFORM DEMONSTRATION: -- ♦ Last night a special meeting of the Working Men's Association and the Trades' Society delegates connected with the December Reform d e monstration was held at St. Martin's hall, to consider the Go vernment scheme of Reform. Upwards of 190 dele gates were present, representing fully 80,000 men ; Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings wiai an analysis of the Government proposals, which he characterised as a retrograde step in the Reform movement, and utterly unworthy of being accepted by the people as a settlement of the great question. lie detailed the proceedings which had taken place that day at the meeting of the Liberal membeis with Mr. Gladstone, and announced that Mr. Disraeli R7 , , ,,, ,1;vi0n5, intmtion „ f I 1 ie 11,1 ,;f't I,roi :I;'is -•!1,•;i 1•;i .1 e.l he',call.-. although endorsed by the liotiie oi Lowe had said the late demonstrations had passed away without leaving an echo behind. It was now the duty of the people to make the echo heard, and it must be a long and loud one. They must now have no:, a local but a national demonstration, in which the working men of Manchester, Birmingham, and other towns must be asked to take part. A long and animated discussion ensued, in which the conduct of the Government was unsparingly de nounced, and a general opinion expressed that even the Opposition would have to be kept up to the mark by the pressure from without. Mr. HOWE, polisher, moved the following reso lution :—" That this meeting having considered the Government scheme of Reform as developed in the House of Commons on Monday night by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, is of opinion it is ono not only falling far short of the just expectdtions and requirements of the country, but insulting to the people at large, inasmuch as it is a retrograde mea sure, less liberal than that introduced to Parlia ment by the Derby Government of 1659, and would enfranchise a considerably less number of the nork ing classes than was proposed to be done by the very moderate measure of Mr. Gladstone last session." Mr. lIAW OOD (Amalgamated Carpenters)seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Pardoe (painter), Mr. Jenkins (organ builder), Mr. Brooke (salesman), Mr. Edbrooke (porter), and Mr. Richards (gasfitter), and carried unanimously. Mr. BAWDEN, tin-plate worker, moved—' , That the Derby Government, by its conduct, having proved itself utterly incompetent to deal with the question of Reform in a manner satisfactory to the people, this meeting emphatically call upon the House of Commons at once to reject the Govern ment scheme of Reform, and show to the country that they will no longer allow the question to be trifled with." Mr. BRISTOW (mason) seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Wistoby (plasterer), Mr. Rosewarne (painter), Mr. Webber (provision dealer), and Mr. Gilmore (mason), and carried with loud cheers. Mr. BLIGII (shoemaker) moved—" That, in order to enable the people to express their opinions on the present unsatisfactory position of the Reform ques tion, this meeting recommend the Working Men's Association to call a public demonstration in Trafal gar-square on Saturday afternoon next at 4 o'clock, and pledges itself to support such demonstration." Mr. W.icKs (decorator) seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Tile CHAIRMAN said the association would act upon the resolution, and at once issue the notice for the meeting. Mr. lIINToN (mason) then moved—" That the association be requested to prepare for a great na tional demonstration on or about Easter, to which the trades of the provinces be invited." Mr. WYNNE (plasterer) seconded the resolution, which was carried with great enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN said the asscciation would at once take the necessary steps for carrying into effect the above resolutions, and he had no doubt Mr. Lowe would now hear the echo. The proceedings then terminated. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLP COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channel].) John 11. Harris surrendered to an indictment preferred against hint for receiving a lunatic into his house at Feltham without the necessary certificate signed by two medical men. The case was a very uninteresting one, and occu pied the Court the whole of the day. In the other courts the cases taken were of a similar nature. The trial of Anderson, who stood indicted for murder, was postponed until nest ses- Sion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. --- o - MAIZI.I;OItUUGH-STREET.

At times the man, when ordering the goods, has been accom panied by a well-dressed female. Amongst the tradesmen who have been victimised by the man are Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, Regent-street, Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, Oxford-street, Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., Tottenham-court-road, Messrs. Smith, Durrant, and Co., South Audley street, Messrs. Benson and Co., Ludgate-hill, and Messrs. Reilly and Co., Oxford-street. A reward of £lOO is offered for the apprehension of the man who has used the names of Leigh, Molesworth, Willmott, and Farquhar, and who is said to be known to the police. Cußlous CASE.—Peter Pfannenperger, who was described as an Italian, and who on Monday last, when before Mr. Tyrwhitt on the charge of assault ing Wilhelm Bock, a waiter at Mr. Kuhn's restau rant, Hanover-street, Regent-street, pretended not to be able to understand Mr. Albert, the interpre ter, who spoke to him in Italian, French, German, and English, remaining perfectly silent, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. It may be remembered that the prisoner went to the restaurant and begged, and on the prosecutor trying to remove his hand from the door he received a severe cut on the hand. On the prisoner being placed in the dock to-day he fell down on his knees, and placed himself in the attitude of prayer. Mr. Albert said that the two days' detention the prisoner had undergone had effected a cure, for he had spoken to him in French. The prisoner was not an Italian, but a Belgian. Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoner in French. The prisoner said he wanted to get away from London. lie had been eight months in London. Mr. Tyrw•hitt said it was a case he could not withdraw from a jury, and committed the prisoner for trial. CRUELTY IN PACKING PlGS.—Thomas Norrey, pig dealer, of Prospect-place, Stepney-green, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, yesterday, to answer a summons taken out by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for carrying a number of pigs in a cart in such a manner as to cause them unnecessary suffering. The Marquis Townshend proved seeing the de fendant with a number of pigs in a cart, some of them three deep, and apparently i❑ a state of great suffering. There was a second summons against the de fendant for not having his name properly painted on his cart. Beaks, 134 C, proved that the name and addre3s on the cart were perfectly illegible. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 103. and costs for improperly packing the pigs, and 2s. 6d. and costs for not having his name properly painted on th e cart. THAMES. A COUPLE OF YOUNG ROGUES.—Edward Harvey and Thomas Green, one 11 the other 12 years of age, were brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing an advance note and a Bank of England note for £5, the property of Thomas Eustace, a baker in Liardinge-street, Commercial road East. The prosecutor is the stepfather of the prisoner Harvey, and carries on business with his wife. They are very respectable people, and both acted with great kindness to the boy Harvey, the son of Mrs. Eustace by a former husband. Green lived in the same house. On the 30th of January Mrs. Eustace deposited a £5 note in a clock case, in which was also a seaman's advance note. Both notes were missing on the following morning, and the boys were also missing. Nothing more was seen of them until the Tuesday morning last, when a police constable, named William Carter, No. 78 K, found them both asleep in a cab in a yard in Hannibal-road, Stepney. He took them into cus tody. On the way to the station-house Green made his escape and went home. He was so altered in appearance that his parents and friends could scarcely recognise him. Harvey was brought before Mr. Paget on Monday, and told a long story, that his father was a dock labourer, living in Poplar ; that his father sent him out to obtain work, and not being able to obtain any turned him out of doors, and told him to shift for himself. Carter was directed to accompany the boy llarvey to Poplar, and see his father on the way to Poplar. Harvey confessed who he was, and that he had robbed his parents of £5 and an advance note. Green was subsequently taken into custody, and he told the constable he had been in custody before, which his mother declared to be a false hood. The prisoners told their parents that they destroyed the £5 note. They related a different story to Carter, that they changed the note, bought some clothes, and were robbed of them at a three penny lodging-house, in Whitechapel. Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial, and on being asked to di-pose of the case summarily, said " No, I will leave a Judge to dispose of those boys as he thinks proper." The boy Harvey is a great liar as well as a thief, and the other is very little better. WESTMINSTER. THE POOR AND THEIR NECESSITIES.—John Morgan, a hearty-looking young man, was charged with destroying his clothing in the casual ward of St. Margaret's Workhouse, Westminster. Thomas Waterman, superintendent of the casual ward, said that defendant was admitted at half-past eight last night, and having been relieved with sup per went to bed. This morning, when asked to get up, he said ho could not, as he had no clothes ; he had destroyed those he came in with. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he was obliged to do it, for his clothing was so filthy and ragged that he could not wear it any longer. He was a labouring man, who wanted to obtain employment, but it was impossible for him to get a living in the things he had on. Mr. Arnold—You should have applied to the parish if you were in want of clothing, instead of which you took means to compel the parish to find you fresh clothing by tearing up what you had. Defendant—l went to three or four of these places, and showed them my clothing, and told them that I could not get employment in that state, but they would not give mo any clothes. I tried to to get a few penco to procure a pair of trousers with, but I could not, and they were so bad altogether that I could not put them on again. Mr. Arnold—Did you apply to this parish? Defendant—l did not. I was tired of asking for clothes, as I never got any. Mr. Arnold—lf in want of sufficient clothing the parish are bound to give it you, but you cannot be allowed to compel them to do it in this way. You are committed for seven days. "IN DEATH TIIET WERE NOT DIVIDED."—On Sunday last the remains of William Green and his wife, an old couple who had lived together for the long space of G 2 years, were interred in one grave in Ashdon churchyard, near Chelmsford, according to a wish expressed by them while in life. They died within two days of each other; the age of the husband being 92, and of his wife 82 years. Naval and Military Intelligence. The armour-plated hou frigate Hector, Captain Luard, recently doing duty as guardship off Cowes, during the stay of her Majesty at Osborne, and the armour-plated wooden frigate Lord Clyde, Captain Roderick Dew, C. 8., at present represent her Ma jesty's navy at Spithead, both awaiting at that an chorage Admiralty orders relative to their future movements. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26, Capt. the Duke of Edinburgh, left Plymouth Sound yesterday morning for Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta. After a sojourn of a few mouths iu the Mediterranean she will proceed to Australia, after which Bombay, Cal cutta, China, and Japan will be visited. The voyage round the world ►ill involve a total absence of about two years. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 35,,went outside Plymouth breakwate r on Monday to test her en gines. Yesterday she was placed in the basin at lieyham Steam-yard, to be completed for the first division of the steam reserve in llamoaze. Yesterday an order was received at Chatham from the War Department, directing that the erection of the block of buildings which had been in progress for several months past near St. Mary's casemated barracks, for residences for the married non-com missioned officers of the third battalion, is to be dis continued, and the work no further proceeded with. The reason for this order is the discovery, now that the range of buildings is nearly completed, that the erection is too near the principal magazine, and that from its close proximity danger was likely to ensue. It is not yet decided whether the new buildings will be taken down and re-erected 'on another site, or the magazine removed to a less dangerous locality, but it is probable the latter course will be adopted. At the monthly examination at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, held on the 21st inst., Lieut. E. 1). Law, R.N., obtained a certificate as French interpreter. MARKETS.--This day. MARK-LANE. The fresh receipts of Essex and Kent wheat, although moderae, were, with the supply remaining unsold from Monday, amply sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the few millers in attendance who were dispoied to ope rate. No business was concluded without difficulty. Even the finest samples met a slow sale, at the late reduction in value, whilst inferior sorts were almost entirely neglected. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was good. There was a want of animation in the demand for all de scriptions, at about Monday's decline in prices. Floating cargoes of wheat moved off slowly, and in other kinds of produce afloat the transactions wore on a limited scale. There was a fair supply of foreign barley on the stands, but only a moderate quantity of English. For all quali ties the trade was heavy, at the late decline. The supply of malt was seasonably extensive. The demand was in a sluggish state, at barely previous rates. Oats worn in fair supply and limited request, at the recent fall in prices. Beaus moved off slowly, and in peas very little was doing, at Mondays currencies. Flour was very quiet, on former. terms. Clover seed was steady, but other agricultural seeds, as well as lin seed and rapeseed, were dull. Cakes were heavy. slur ARRIVALS THIS WEAL. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

REUTER'S TELEGRAM COMPANY. (Meetilig This Day.) The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern ; Colonel Holland, director, in the chair. The report, which congratula' ed the shareholders on the steadily increasing prosperity of the company, having been circulated amongst the shareholders, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said that the report was so full that it, spoke for itself; but there were two or three points on which he would make a few remarks. In the first place he wished to explain that the ac counts, being made up annually instead of half yearly, did not clearly show the prosperous position of the company, and the actual amount of business tranzieted was not ; - - - o apparent. £l,B 5S ha,l been r,.:.11,t , I on. the lan,q!e.sQ 11(mtt.i ci~i~^~ L~ cl the frota 0.0,1: . .k I.

A large increase had taken place in the profits of the company from the double business in which they were engaged. With respect to the llanoverian cable, the reason why it had not been in operation was owing to the *war. Mr. Reuter obtained a concession from the Hanoverian Government, but which was rendered useless by the overthrow of the kingdom of llanover. However, Mr. Reuter, by hi . interest with the Prussian Government, had obtained a renewal of that concession. But they .had to surrender their fourth wire to the Prusaian Government, on their guaranteeing a minimum daily number of messages to be con veyed by the company, and to undertake the maintenance and repair of their continental land lines. An arrangement had been con cluded with the Electric Telegraph Company, which secured a minimum number of messages on the fourth corresponding to that guaranteed by the Prussian Government. The effect of those charges would be to make, according to estimate, an addi tion to the revenue of the company of £30,000 a year. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts, which was unanimously agreed to. The Chairman, being the retiring director, vacated the chair, which was taken by Admiral Sir J. C. D. Hay, M.P. Col. Holland was then re-elected. After the transaction of some other formal busi ness, thanks were voted to Mr. Reuter, the manag ing director of the company, and to the directors, which terminated the proceedings.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 tie. UV. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold le about I -10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1061 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and their Royal Highnesses suits, will this evening honour the Olympic Theatre with their presence.

Despables were sent yesterday from the Colo nial-office to the Governors of Ceylon, Hong Kong, Labnan, Malta, the Mauritius, Gibraltar, the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Straits Settlements, and the Aus tralian Colonies. POISONOUS BREAD.—M. Nickles, professor of chemistry at Nancy, has just discovered a circumstance which may turn out to be of great importance to public health. It seems that bakers have been lately in the habit of heating their ovens with old painted wood got cheap from the demolition of houses. But bread baked in such an oven acquires poisonous qualities from the whitelead verdigris, and other noxious substances contained in the paint; and M. Nickles shows that these substances aro absorbed by the crust, and do not penetrate to the crumb. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.—A. meeting was held in the Town-hall, Manchester, on Monday, presided over by the mayor, R. Neill, Esq., for the purpose of ap pointing a committee and adopting other steps for raieing a fund in aid of the Cretan families, who have been forced to leave their island, and who, to the number of 12,000, mostly women and children, are entirely destitute pf the common necessaries of life. Resolutions in furtherance of the ob ject specified were carried unanimously. FATAL DEVICE BY A STUDENT.--A fatal act of imprudence has been committed by a young student in an educational establishment at Rheims. A youth named Renaut, aged 15, had been confined to the sick-room on account of a slight indisposition, and had there passed his whole time in reading, particularly the history of France. When restored to health he found himself unable to con tinue his favourite occupation on account of the regular routine of the school business, so ho determined to simulate illness in order to return to the infirmary. A botanical garden belonging to the establishment, in which all the plants were ticketed, suggested to him the means. He was so foolish as to swallow some hemlock, after which he re turned to the house and complained of being-unwell, but without avowing what ho had done. Shortly after the symptoms became so aggravated that he made a full con fession; but it was then too late, and he expired in tho courso of the evening. „ EIGHTEEN SHEEP ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.—On Friday a drove of sheep, belonging to Mr. Nimmo, at Motherwell, strayed on to the-Caledonian Railway, near Wishaw, and before they could be removed a paesenger train dashed up and killed 18 of them, and injured others. GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—The Greenwich hospital estimate just issued shows that the sum required for the year (as the estimate has it, " the total of the whole") is £128,635 -.£46,843 for the hospital itself, £L6,457 for lien dons, and £25,335 for Greenwich School. The out-pen sions are 4,600 in number. To those who elected to leave the hospital in 1865 there are 742 pensions allotted, 398 of £l3 12s. a year to men 70 years old or upwards, and 344 at £7 12s. to men of 55 but under 70 ; and there is also avote of £10,669 for money allowances to these 742 mon, and to 163 others who were in-pensioners not entitled to au out pension, but nevertheless elected to leave and revert to their naval pensions. The other pensioners are 1,088 of £l3 12s. to naval pensioners (of ten years' standing), resi dent in the Uaited Kingdom, 70 years old or more ; and 2,170 of £7.125, to ileval.peusioners of five yeare' sta4clint also resident, between 55 and 70 yiars of age. 1 1 1111th EDITION.

Der mot Asthore was also in request, the pair alone being backed ;for any amoant of money.

Plaudit was firm for " the Guineas," while Hermit was unmistakeably " fishy," even money being freely :offered against his running, though in the same quarter 1000 to 60 would have been taken about him for the-Epsom event.

Mr. HENDERSON gave notice that he would, on Friday next, ask tho First Lord of the Admiralty how many gun boats had been built on the Thames, and whether other builders in the kingdom had had au op portunity of tendering for such vessels. (Hear, hear.) PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Lord NAAS corrected an innceoracy committed by him iu the introducing the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Act Continuation Bill. On that occasion he stated front what he believed to be undoubted authority, that when D.% Moriarty, the Roman Catholic Bishop, denounced, on the ensuing week previous to the Feuiau movement, that several persons got up and left the ;church. That state ment ho now found was incorrect, and in a letter he hail received from Dr. Moriarty he stated that no one left the church, and that he never addressed an audience who showed greater adhesion to what ho said than on that occasion. He (Lord Naas) had great pleasure in making the correction. THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION BILL. Mr. lIADFIELD asked whether the Government in tended to proceed to-morrow with this bill, before it had been printed ? Lord NAAS said it was desirable that the Colonial Secretary in that house should make his statement as early as possible. The hon. gentleman could inform himself of the contents of the bill by applying to the House of Lords for a copy of it. TRANSUBSTANTIATION, &c., DECLARAtION ABOLITION SILL. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the second reading of this bill. Ile understood there was no oppokition to the reading of the bill, but that the hon. gentleman the mem ber for North Warwickshire had an amendment to the bill when it was in committee. The object of the bill was to get rid of a very insulting and offensive declaration which had existed on the Statute Book from the time of Charles 11. After some remarks from Mr. NEWDEGATI, 'who had some petitions to present against the bill, but which The SPEAKER informed him could not then be re ceived, The bill was read a second time. OFFICES AND OATHS BILL. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to remove the disqualification which at present prevented persons, being Roman Catholics, from holding certain offices, amongst which were that of Lord-Lieutenant and Lord Chancellor in Ireland. Mr. NEWDEGATE strongly opposed the motion, and moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord NAAS was opposed to the bill, as far as the office of Lord Lieutenant was concerned, but he should not carry his opposition to the extent of denying that a Roman Catholic was unfit to hold the office of Lord Chan cellor in Ireland. Mr. GLADSTONE supported the bill, and contended that according to the principles laid down by the noble lord (Lord Naas), he was bound to withdraw his op tion to the bill being made applicable to the Lord Lieupte nant of Ireland. Mr. WHALLEY opposed the bill, and said, he for one, would not submit to have Romanism thrust upon the coun try in all the strength it exerted a hundred years ago. The man who dared to exercise the rights of conscience a c n a d th it o was lie was persecuted, even unto death, and the Fenian conspiracy was ot interest of of Roman the Catholics, Roman that they took any ste p s to put it down. (Order, order.) not until The /SPEAKER said, after the expression of opinion first became promoted to theby t that took place in that house with respect to Fenianism, it was entirely out of order to say that Fenianisnywas pro moted by the Roman Catholics. Mr. WHALLEY, amidst the utmost impatience, said he was of opinion that the Roman Catholics had quite sufficient power, and he therefore trusted the'houso would not give its assent to the bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND said he could not go so far as the Chief Secretary.. He thought the Lord Chancellor should be excepted from the bill. Mr. LAWSON said the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland wished to lop off one important branch of the bill, and the Solicitor-General wished to lop off another, the effect of which would 'leave the bill in such a miserable condition that it.would not be worth contention. Mr. VANCE opposed the second reading of the bill. The house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority -.102 The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 13th of March. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY PROFESSORSHIP BILL. Mr. LAWSON moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to remove three other religious rese present holding the professorship any person being of disqualifications, viz., to remove the r es t r i c ti ons w hi c h a t p bein a g na a tom n r.a a n n d Catholic fromsurgery, chemistry and botany, in Dublin University. (Hear hear.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND supported the bill. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that was a great day of con cession, and he had the greatest satisfaction in giving his rote in.favour of the second reading of tie bill. Mr. LEFROY supported the bill, and said he was autho rised to say by the Board of Trinity College, Dublin, that that body were in favour of the tneaFurd. The bill was read a second time. EXECUTION OF DEEDS BILL. On the motion of Mr. GODFREY this bill was read a second time, the Attorney-General reserving to himself the right of proposing any alteration he might think fit in committee. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned. Mn. APLAREN'S BILL. —A crowded meeting, called by advertisements and placards, was held in the Queen-street Hall, Edinburgh, on Monday night, "to review the conduct of the metubers for the city" with re ference to the second reading of Mr. M‘Laron's Annuity tax Abolition Bill. Treasurer Marshall presided, and the l ea ding speakers were Counc illors Fyfe, Bladworth, Stott, - and D. Lewis. The.resolutions expressed the thanks of the meeting to Mr. M'Laren and the members who had . supported his bill ; declared that no settlement of the question would be satisfactory which did not pro vide a total abolition of the Annuity-tax ; expressed in dignant disapproval" of Mr. Moncrieff's conduct in oppos ing the bill, and declared entire want of confidence in hint as one of the representatives of the city. It was further suggested in some of the speeches that Mr.Moucrieff should at once get formal notice that an effort would be made t unseat him, and, with the same candour, the declaration was made that Mr. Miller, of Leithen, would bo brought forward to oppose him, though Mr. Miller, who was pre sent, did not pledge himself to accept the invitation given to_him.—Seotamen. - • . .
