An anthem of Handers led to further encouragement from him though ho objected that that great musician must have been down in some of them foreign cellars pretty much, for to go and say the same thing Sc many times over; which, took it in any way you might, he considered a certain sign of your having touk it in somehow. On a third occasion, the public appearance of Mr. Jarvis with a fl ute, and of en odd man with a violin, and the perform ce of a duet by the two, did so astonish him that, solely his own impulse and motion, he became inspired w hit the words, " Aun Roar !" repeatedly pronouncing them as if calling in a familiar manner for some lady who had di stinguished herself in the orchestra. But this was his final testimony to the merits of his mates, for, the in strumental duet being performed at the first Wednesday concert, and being presently followed by the voice of Mar guerite Obenreizer, he sat with his mouth wide open, en tranced, until she had finished ; when, rising in his place W ith much solemnity, and prefacing what he was about to 13:3! with a bow th a t spec i a ll y i nc l u d e d M r.

PADSTOW, CORNWALL, Dec. 9. & ., 1)1 Iriog a fresh gale from the N., with heavy e l t , ll lls last night (states the Rev. R. Tyacke), the t gl ef officer of coast guard discovered a vessel l''randed on the Doom bar. He gave the intent tellee to the coxswain of the Albert Edward life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution. Ile at ;: le e summoned his crew, and as soon as ~.s4(ficient number of them were assembled the ,11.teboat was launched, and proceeded to t il e bar. They arrived there after being driven seas ' and three times by the tido and heavy Il ea l . and dropped down to the vessel, when a corn hthnication was effected between her and the boat, u t t he line unfortunately parted and some difficulty t i es experienced in effecting a second communica th°,..ll°Nving to the heavy seas. Ultimately, however, b' Was effected, and the crew of three men were el led and b roug ht sa f e l y as h ore , th e b oa t h av ing v e ll absent two hours and a half. In leaving the li e f sB , el the cable o f th e b oa t h a d to be slipped. The of e ut 3 at shipp e d severa l seas , an d onc e the whole , 11 t he starboard oars were k n ocked out of the b ut s hands, and would have been lost th e f° l ' the lanyards attaching them to the boat. The lifeboat behaved very well, and Gr eat acted w ith pe r f ec t di sc ipli n e and coolness. kxreat credit is due to the brave crew of the Pad olifeboat, as some of the men who were afloat r h er en the occasion went through that fearful p eb eal of being upset from the boat on the 6th of - h , r , l lary last. They were then three-quarters of tc lie . frern the land, but they succeeded, having di:lifebelts on, in reaching the beach under great 11:leulties and dangers. It is also a proof of the liL a b ba ted confidence they have in their valuable c h a n ' °4 t7 whizh they have positively declined to ex --ge for any other that could be given to them. DROGHEDA, IRELAND, Dec. 7. h e re Schooner Mountaineer, of this place, bound b a ; e . fr ora Ardrossan with coals, in running for the ( 41 111 a fresh gale from N.E. and heavy sea, was F a vett on shore on the South Bull (reports Mr vas ell, the officer of coastguard). As soon as this tif 4 " klllll vii at the lifeboat station of the National rea*Vat Institution the boat was launched, but on kill e ulng the spot found that the crew were deter to h e d to remain by the vessel, as she did not appear fal 3 b. a.ve Sustained much damage and the tide was MONEY MARKET AND qOMME.ROIAL INTELLIGBNCIL, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been rather more inquiry for accommo dation in the general discount market as usual at this period of the year, when preparations are in progress for the settlement of the twelvemonths' account. The liquidation of the account in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares has also commenced, and will, no doubt, cause a greater demand for money. The rates current being nearly equal to the Bank minimum, although there have been ex ceptional transactions at 1i per cent. The shares of the Anglo-Argentine Company were to-day quoted at kto premium. With regard to financial matters, an important calculation has been made with respect to the specie held by 24 of the principal establishments in Europe, including the Banks of France, England, Prussia, Austria, Spain, &c., and 24 local Prussian banks, amounted at the close of October to £104,414,439, as compared with £108,304,039 at the close of September. The securities held by these establishments at the close of October amounted to £109,133,003, against £106,829,080 at the close of September. The loans made at the close of October were £86,946,423, against £86,900,362 at the close of September. The note circulation was £181,716,501 at the close of October, against £177,297,821 at the close of September. The deposits were £117,736,890 at the close of October, against £121,588,342 at the close of September. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. is proposed by the directors of the Ceylon Company (Limited). The report to be presented on the 17th instant shows an available balance of £13,773, which, after payment of above dividend, will leave a balance of £4,398 to be carried forward. The liquidators of the Royal Bank of Liverpool have made a call of £lO per share on the ordinary and of £lOO per share on the preference shareholders. The latter, however, propose resisting the payment of the call. The annual report of the Crystal Palace Com pany, issued preparatory to the meeting to be held on the 18th instant, states that the result of the year's working for the twelve months ending Slat October last, shows a balance to the credit of £44,588, which, added to the sum of £3,272 carried over last year, gives a total of £47,860. After pay ment of the dividends on the debenture and pre ference stocks there is a net sum of £15,956. Out of this amount the directors propose a dividend of 1-1 per cent. on the ordinary stock, leaving £916 to to be carried forward. At the meeting held to-day of the African Steam Ship Company the report for the six mouths ending 31st of October last was presented. The accounts showed that after providing for the usual deprecia tion and all current expenses, and forming a fund to meet the cost of the ships contracted for, a balance of £6,728 13s. sd. remains. Out of this balance the directors proposed the payment of the usual dividend of Bs. per share, for the half-year ending 31st October. From the sum remaining the direc tors, after full consideration, recommend an addi tional payment to be made of 2s. per share, leaving £1,224 13s. sd. to be carried forward to next half year's accounts. While making this recommenda tion, the directors desire to point out that although the last half-year's operations have enabled them to recommend this additional payment, its continuance must of course depend on the result of the future operations of the company. At a meeting held to-day of the St. John Del Rey Mining Company the report of the directors was presented and adopted. It stated that the directors had the satisfaction of recommending a dividend at the rate of £4 5s per share, free of income tax, and they will carry, as usual, 10 per cent. thereon to the reserved fund. After making these payments there will remain to be carried for ward to the next half-year £3,009 13s 10d, out of which the income tax on last year's profits at 5d (£2,281 9s 10d) has to be paid. The cash in England on the 30th Noveaiber amounted to £85,576 15s 3d, out of which the sum of £81,425 has to be paid for drafts running and dividends. In Brazil the cash amounted on the 30th of September to £14,788 7s 3d to meet the expenditure of the two following months. Messrs. Alex. Collie and Co.'s weekly circular with respect to the Manchester markets states as follows :—" Immediately after the issue of our last week's circular a visible improvement took place here in sympathy with a recovery ix price and large transactions in cotton in Liverpool. Although a fair amount of business continued to be transacted up to yesterday in some classes of shirtings the in quiry has not been general, and in consequence prices and demand have again relapsed to a par with those of this day week." The Lincolnshire is announced to have sailed from Melbourne with £336,000, and the Kent with £130,000. The tenders for £140,500 of South Australian Government Six per Cent. Bonds were opened yes terday. The number of tenders was 120, amount ing to £765,700, at prices varying from £92 10s. to £lOB. There was an amount of £85,700 below the minimum and £680,000 above the minimum, which was declared to be £lO5. The tenders at and above £lO7 3s. will alone receive allotments. The tenders for the £500,000 6 per Cent. Bonds of the Metropolitan District Railway on the 20th inst. are to be at or above par, which is fixed as the minimum. The share capital over which these are to ride is £2,250,000. It is reported, in connexion with the examination of the luggage of passengers from the Continent at Charing-cross Station, that some of the Custom house officials are endeavouring to induce the Board of Commissioners to return to the old system of having one piece in every lot examined, instead of, as now, only one or two pieces in every 10 or 20 lots. The present method saves time, and is au accommodation to the public. It is believed also to work extremely well. Hence, unless the Board are prepared to justify the proposed backward step as a matter of imperative necessity, it is likely to be met by a general protest from all the travelling and commercial classes. The report of the Ceylon Company (Limited) to be presented on the 17th of December, shows an available balance of £13,773, and proposes an in terim dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £9,375, and leave £4,398 un appropriated. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram this morning the French Rentes were 69f. 45c. More firmness is apparent in the English Stock Market to-day, a recovery of 1 per cent. having taken place. Business, however, is dull, both as regards investments and speculation. Slightly higher prices from the Paris Bourse have added to the firmness of the market. Consols are now 9211 for transfer ; and 921 93 for the account.

In the Foreign Market the settlement of the account is the principal business going forward The rates of " continuation" arc easy, owing to the abundance of money and the character of the en gagements that have been contracted. Compared with the prices current yesterday afternoon, Greek are 1 per cent. lower, at 121 13 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. 1-16, at 33 7-16 9-16 ; and Spanish 3 per Cents. 1-16, at 351 1 ; on the other hand, however, Mexican have advanced 1, to 151 1; Spanish Pas sive remain at 251 ; and Italian, 451- 1. In the Railway Share Market the liquidation of the half-monthly account occupies the principal attention of the dealers and speculators ; in some instances, however, prices show a slight improve ment. Lancashire and Yorkshire have advanced 1, and Caledonian, North-Western, and Midland each I, while Great Northern and Metropolitan have each declined !, and Brighton 1.

THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, This was a writ of inquiry sent down from the Court of Common Pleas, in which the jury were called upon to assess the damages laid at £2,000 suffered by the plaintiff through an accident on the defendants' line, defendants having suffered judg ment to go by default. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Clarke ap peared for the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Adams representing the company. Mr. Seymour, in opening the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff was a clerk in the employ ment of the well-known engineers, Messrs. Penn & Co., of Greenwich, and the accident through which he had suffered the injuries complained of took place as far back as Sept., 1866'. It might be no cessary to explain to the jury that the great delft) , that had ensued before the action was brought was caused by the desire of the plaintiff and his friends to see how far ho was likely to recover from the effects of the accident. The accident occurred on the 4th Sept., 1866, and upon that occasion he left London by the quarter past nine o'clock train to proceed to Greenwich. While he was being con veyed along the line, an engine coming in an oppo site direction, ran into the train, and knocked the carriage in which the plaintiff was travelling off the line. The plaintiff had been most severely injured, and was now unable to perform his duties in his ac customed way. Medical evidence would be called he (Mr. Seymour) understood on both sides, for the plaintiff had been seen by doctors of eminence, both on his own account and on behalf of the company. There could be no doubt that the plaintiff had suffered a severe shock to his nervous system, and was unable to perform his duties with that ease and regularity that had been usual with him. One of his eyes was much injured, and there can be no doubt that he had been generally permanently shaken in his system. Under these circumstances it would be for the jury to say to what damages the plaintiff was entitled. The plaintiff was called and detailed the nature of the accident and its effects upon himself. He was under examination when this report left, and the case is likely to last some time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CLEVER FRUSTRATION OF A PICKPOCKET, — Joseph Harris, a costermouger, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pocket-handkerchief from the person of Mr. W. Brock, of 12, Clarence chambers, Haymarket, secretary to the Scottish Reformation Society. The prosecutor was passing along the Haymarket yesterday afternoon when he felt a tug at his coat pocket, and on turning round saw a portion of his pocket-handkerchief in the prisoner's hand, the prisoner not being able to withdraw the whole of it, the prosecutor, in consequence of having been robbed of his handkerchief at the same place on Saturday last, having taken the precaution to sew the corner of it to the lining of his coat pocket. The prosecutor secured the prisoner, and handed him over to Police-constable Lloyd, 151 C. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. ROBBERY FROM A CAB—Thomas Johnson, de scribing himself as a billiard marker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a railway rug and a parcel of books, the property of Mr. Banks, of No. 60, Regent's-park-road, from a cab in Regent street. John Wright, of No. 63, New Compton-street, said that on the previous evening he saw the pri soner go up to a cab in Regent-street, and take out a parcel and a railway rug, and walk away with them. Ile told the cab►nan, who went after the pri soner and brought him back. Ge,irge Arber, cab-driver, badge 7,797, said that on being told by the witness that the prisouar had taken away a rug and parcel which bad been left iu his cab, he went after the prisoner and brought him back—the prisoner having got rid of the property-- and gave him into custody. Richard Kent, 191. C, proved receiving the pri soner in custody from the last witness, and said the parcel and rug were picked up in a doorway, where the prisoner had thrown them. The prisoner said that he had no occasion to steal a rug as he had plenty of money, but only 11. d. was found on him. There being every reason to believe that the prisoner has been previously convicted, Air. Tyr whitt remanded him for further inquiries. ORDINA.RY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

With but a brief sketch of the labour that is performed in the gallery, the greater part of his address was descrip tive of the general duties undertaken by reporters on the metropolitan and provincial press, and was illustrated by many anecdotes gathered during fifteen years' professiona experience. Mr. Woods occupied the chair, and seconded the vote of thanks to the lecturer which had been moved by Mr. Pearson. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN A WATCHMAKER'S SHOP.— Jeremiah Macarthy, aged 25, of No. 23, Feather stone-buildings, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing three silver watches, a metal watch, and 10 brooches from a watchmaker's shop in King David-lane, Shadwell. Another man is in custody for participating in the crime. Emma Brown stated that she was in the par lour of her shop on Thursday evening last between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock, and hearing a noise in the shop she entered it and saw the prisoner, who was close to the door and about to leave, when she asked him what he wanted. He replied that he wanted a drink of water. She refused to give him any, and he ran out of the shop. A boy came into the shop directly afterwards, and in consequence of a communication from him, she looked over the window board and missed four watches and 10 brooches. Another man was in the shop with the prisoner. Mr. Benson--Wh a t is the value of the property stolen ? Witness—£7, sir. I saw the watches and brooches a few minutes before the prisoner was there. The Prisoner--Was there any light in the shop? Witness—Yes ; four gas burners were lighted. The Prisoner—Did any one else see me in your shop ? Witness —Yes, a girl ; she is here to corroborate me. Mr. Benson—There is no occasion to call her now. Another man is in custody charged with being con cerned in this daring robbery. He is remanded till Saturday, on which day the, other prisoner will be brought here. A new phase of co-operation has been developed at Rochdale. For some time past a theatre has been greatly needed in the town, and at length a few working men took up the matter, launched a co-operative society, with shares of £1 each, and obtained a fund of £6,000. The theatre, which was opened a few nights ago, will ac commodate 2,200 persons. A SHIP ON FIRE.—The William Hunter, screw steamer, of London, Captain Cowle, which arrived at Falmouth on Monday evening from Taganrog for orders, fell in with a ship on fire, of about 900 tons burden, at 5.30 p.m. on Sunday, about 50 miles W . :S.W. from the Lizard. Captain Cowle approached within a quarter of a mile, in the expectation of finding the crew in the boats, but he discovered none, and left her. On Monday morning, at seven a.m., they spoke the steamer Cintra, of Liverpool, with signal flying, "I'm in distress," and they reported she had been towing a barque and fouled the tow-rope in her screw. The William Hunter took the Cintra iu tow for two hours, intending to reach Falmouth, when the tow-rope broke. The William Hunter then put two hawsers on board the Cintra, but at that moment the latter succeeded in clearing her screw, loosed the hawsers, and steamed away S.S.E. THE PROPOSEIS PROCESSION IN LIVERPOOL.—As soon as it became known chat the Feniaus of Liverpool proposed having a procession on Sunday next the Orange mon of the town, who aro at least an equally numerous body, proposed to form a procession to walk such a route as would inevitably bring the two bodies into collision. Yesterday the mayor (Mr. Whitley) had an interview with a deputation of Orangemen, and after pointing out the danger of breaking the peace of the town, promised if they would withdraw from their intention ho would use all legitimate means to prevent any procession within his jurisdiction. The deputation admitted the force of what his lordship said, and promised to lay the matter before their lodges. His worship also had an interview with 13 Roman Catholic priests, who promised to advise their people to keep , away from the proposed demonstration. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of magistrates was held, ' and it was determined not to allow the procession, and to take all due precautions for the preservation of tho peace. Yesterday a portion of the military stationed in the town (the head-quarters of the 7th Regiment) was removed to Bury. There now remains iu the town a military force of about 500 men. The police force numbers 1,000.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange ou London is 251. 15c. per El sterling. On cimparing these rates with the English Mint price tf I,s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. The oouree of exchange at New York on London for bill. at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE WESTERN FISHERY. —The Cornish pilchard season is at an end ; the boats have had varied success There have boon some largo catches of herrings on the South Devon coast during the last few days. On Satur day upwards of 20 boatloads were taken out of a seine at Dawlish and despatchod by rail, and a good supply was left at home for the poor. HE FRA*CA S. AT A'E TVMA RKET. The adjourned summons against the two jockeys— Henry Parry, of Newmarket, and Thomas Cannon, of Stockbridge, for the assault ou Nr. James Lethbridge Templar, cu Newmarket Heath, on the Cambridgeshire day,was heard at the police-court, Newmark:A yesterday (Tuesday), and although the case was compromised, the proceedings were, it will be seen, of an extraordinary description. The magistrates cm the bench wore J. Dobode, Esq. (in the chair), Major Fryer, the Rev. W. Godfrey, and Doctor Bennett. The court was crow Jed, the auditory including nearly the whole of the Newmarket trainers and jockeys, who evinced considerable interest in the proceedings. Mr. M Tcwather, barrister, of London, instructed by Mr. Salmon, of Bury St. Edmunds, appeared for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Sleigh, barrister, of London, for the defen dants, being advised on the part of Pauy by Messrs. Ki chancre and Fenn, of Newmarket, and ou behalf of Cannon by Mr. Leech, of Dc•by. The magistrates' clerk having stated the charge, ex plained that when the case was first gone into on October 29, soon uftar the assault complained of was committed, a mass of evidence was taken, but he was not aware whether the counsel desired it to be read. Mr. Merewether said such a proceeding would not be necessary. He explained that he had been instructed by Mr. Salmon to prosecute, which accounted for his presence there, and he thought himself bound to acquaint the Bench with certain proceedings which had taken place since the last examination. He intended frankly and candidly to put the magistrates in possession of the facts of what had happened, and would rely upon their good sense and judg ment for their approval that what had been done was right and proper. The prosecutor. Mr. Templar, acting under the advice of his relatives and friends, the case becoming more and more troublesome, had consented to refer the facts to two gentlemen of undeniable integrity, for them to de cide whether or not the affair was one to be brought before the court, and the defendants to be dealt with according to law. The young men both bore high characters iu their profession, and several of the masters of ono of thorn wore personally known to him (Mr. Merewether). The defendants had always been held in high respect by their employers, and their characters ha.l done thorn good service in this case. The result had not boon, as was at one time feared, of a serious nature to Mr. Templar,.aud both that gentleman and his friends, considering that the defendants had been induced in a moment of wild excite ment to do an act quite inconsistent with their daily walk in life and in entire opposition to their previous good cha racter, had decided upon the course he had mentioned, and had taken the case before gentlemen who were in a posi tion to command respect. Those gentlemen had been asked, first, whether or not the case was one to be taken before the court, and, secondly, what ought to be done. la taking this course, Mr. Templar stood upon his undoubted right to do so, and Lord Ailesbury and Mr. Thomas Hughes, the member of Parliament for Lambeth, the well-known author, who had clone perhaps as much good to the world as any other man living, were asked to decide. He (Mr. Merawether) and his learned friend, Mr. Sleigh, attended before those gentlemen, and the whole of the evidence was taken as a fact. He trusted that the magistrates would allow him to read the decision, because it was of the utmost importance that the greatest publicity should be given to it. The learned counsel the read as follows : " At the request of all parties we have consented to arbitrate in the matter of the assault on Mr. Templar by mounted jockeys, among whom were Cannon and Parry, at Newmarket, in October, 1867. Wo have considered the question whether it was a case in which Mr. Templar might with propriety forego further legal proceedings, and being clearly of opinion that it was such a case, and Mr. Templar having consented to forego all further legal redress, we order, firstly, that the accused p•ty all law costs and ex penses which have been incurred by Mr. Templar; se condly, that they pay a sum of - for the assault; thirdly, that they sign an apology, to be dictated by us. " AILESIILTRY. " TROMAS HITGIiZS." Mr. Merewether explained that the blank wit , ' left in the decision because the arbitrators could not agree on the sum to be awarded to Mr. Templar for tho assault, and which was to bo devoted to some charitable institution or otherwise, as Mr. Templar might deem proper. Mr. Merewethor then read as under :-- "Lincoln's Inn, Dacombor 6, 1867. " Tho arbitrators, before proceeding to consider the amount to be awarded for the assault, named Lord Gran ville as umpire in case they should disagree; and being ultimately unable to agree the question of amount was re ferred to him. Lord Granville's decision was in the words following : " am of opinion that, in addition to the legal ex penses, the jockeys should pay the medical expense up to the end of 1867, and £lOO each fur the assault. " '(Signed) GRANVILLE.' " We therefore award accordingly. " AILESIWRY. " T. lIUGUES." Mr. Merewether, in continuation, said the magistrates would not regret the time ho had expended, having regard to the prospects of the young men, if such a course as had been suggested should be come to. He might toll the magistrates what ho had not disclosed to his learned friend, namely, that Mr. Templar was a fine, frank young man, distinguished for great nerve and judgment, and directly he had had time to reflect ho had set his face as much as possible against anything the ulterior proceedings of which would bring any degradation to the defendants. He was desirous of tempering justice with met cy, and himself had stated that it went hard against him to take the bread out of their mouths, as he deemed it was in au unguarded moment that they had been the cause of injuries to him- self. There was now a general exhibition of the hand of mercy to the defendants, and ho (Mr. Merewether) trusted they felt thankful that the prosecutor's injuries had not turned out more serious, and that they would retain their characters, which had stood them in much good stead that day. Therefore, with the permission of the Bench, he would withdraw the prosecution. Mr. Sleigh said he ha l very little to say in addition to what his friend, Mr. Morewether, had stated. The two young men who had that day surrendered to their bail had hitherto borne the most exemplary characters, but in the excitement they had become mixed up with a disturbance, for which they were now exceedingly sorry. Mr. Templar had undoubtedly adopted a wise course. It had been pub lished that the Bench had characterised the case as of a most disgraceful nature. He was not surprised at such an expression of opinion ; indeed he would have been surprised had any other been given, but the defendants regretted very much that in a moment of excitement they had become mixed up in the affair, the result of which had been per sonal injuries to Mr. Templar. Ile (Mr. Sleigh) had no hesi tation in saying, however, that had the case gone on, the number of witnesses who would have been called would have put a different complexion on the case. He did not wish to say one single word in extenuation, but it was a genuine mistake, and the defendants did most deeply de plore it. They were fully prepared to accept the decision come to by Lord Ailesbury and Mr. Hughes, having suf fered agony of mind and torture of suspense which they would not cease to fool for many a day. The magistrates thou retired, and after a short consulta tion returned. Mr. Dobede remarking that as the prose cution was withdrawn there was nothing for the Bench to consider. They neither expressed their concurrence nor dissent. Major Fryer stated that he believed it was himself who had characterised the assault as a most disgraceful ono. Soon after the affair his opinion was asked in the matter, and ho thought it should be brought before the Jockey Club, who had the control of the Heath during the races. He regretted that the advice was not acted upon. When Mr. Salmon stated the case at the first hearing he did so in the strongest language. He (Major Fryer) was an eye witness of the affair, and considered it most outrageous, and regretted that it had not been taken to a civil court. Mr. Merewother remarked that he also was an eye-wit ness of the affair, and thought it a most extraordinary scene. As no serious results were now apprehended, the prosecution would be withdrawn. The proceedings then terminated. Foreign Mail Packet List, MAILS DUE.

Last night the annual soiree of the Mechanics' Institute, Dewsbury, took place in the Public Hall of that town. There was a very large attendance. The ex-Mayor (Mr. E. Day) presided; and amongst those present were Mr. James Stansfeld, M.P., and Mr. E. A. Leatham.—Mr. Stansfeld said it was at this moment especially necessary that the people of England should examine the system of national education, as it was termed, as it at present existed. The system of elementary schools, to which he purposed to confine himself, dated from the beginning of this century. The British and Foreign School Society and the National Society were the first institutions estab lished to promote elementary education among the people, and though there had been others formed since, they still kept the lead. In 1832 there was a grant from the Treasury of £20,000 to assist in the building of schools. This grant was, after a time, increased to £30,000, and so they went on till 1846, when it had risen to £lOO,OOO, and now it was probably £BOO,OOO or £900,000. In 1853 the system of capitation grants began. The Privy Council undertook to make contributions for individual excellence. In 1858 they had the Duke of Newcastle's Commission, which reported in 1860. That report was bold and sweeping ; and it was with that report, which, so far, had only resulted in the Revised Code, that the country and Parliament has now to deal. According to the rules of the Committee of Council on Edu cation—one-sixth of the children of the working classes ought to be at school, but the number was only about 870,000, being more than 1,000,000 less than the estimate. Out of 15,000 parishes in England only the schools in 4,000 re ceived Government aid. Taking the statement lately made in the House of Lards by the Duke of Marlborough, there were upwards of 300,000 chil dren in the rural parishes not reached at all by the Government grants. But the case of the ruralparishes was not the worst unfortun a tely. I u th e centres o f population, whilst there was great intelligence and wealth, there was also deep ignorance. The Man chester and Salford Education Aid Society found in 1865 that out of 11,086 children belonging to working people, between the ages of three and twelve years, 4,837 were at school, 762 at work, while the enormous number of 5,787 were neither at school nor work. There was another weakness to their arrangements to which he would allude, the want of a feeder. What was a feeder ? There was a power of compulsion in respect to the pauper, the vagrant, and the factory child, but above those were a large number, whose education becomes a matter of the highest moment. Having completed hi; sketch, he would have others to say what ought to be done to alter this wretched state of things. Address ing himself to the members of the mechanics' insti tutions of the country, he urged them to let their voices be heard on this question ; to say to Government that some combined effort ought to be made to raise the masses of England in the intellectual and moral scale, and make them werthy of the country to which they belonged. Mr. I. A. Leath= said that, so long as Parliament was the representative of the upper and middle class, it was possible to neglect the question of education in its fulness, but now when the people had a vital interest in legisla tion that question must be taken up for a solution. Some, like the Duke of Marlborough the other day, might maintain th Lt the present system worked very well, but the majority would not say so. It was, in fact, inadequate for the perforulance of its gigantic task. The Marchioness of Salisbury's invitations for the intended ball at Hatfield House have been countermanded, iu consequence of the precarious health of the Countess Delawarr. At tho Bank of England there have been no gold operations of importance. Official returns from all the counties in New York make the Democratic majority 49,869 in a total vote of 697,903, which is the largest vote ever east in the State when the election of a govtruor or president was not in volved. The Democrats gained 101,126 on their vote in 1863, and gave the littlest vote ever polled by any political party iu the State, being 5,163 greater than Lincoln's vote iu 1664.
