Proceedings of the Half-yearly General Meeting of 'the Proprietors, held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, in the City of London, on Thursday, the 24th January, 1867. The following Report was presented : In submitting the accounts and balance-sheet of the bank for the half-year ending 31st December last, the Directors have pleasure in reporting that the progress in the re-establishment of the business during the last six months has been very satisfactory. A large proportion of their former constituents have re-opened their accounts, and there has been a considerable accession of business from other quarters. The anticipations of the Directors as to the sufficiency of the sum set apart as provision for all the casualties of the last summer have not been disappointed ; and the Directors have the pleasure of announcing that the avail able resources of the bank now enable them to offer pay ment (less interest at Bank rate) to the holders of all out standing promissory notes, thereby anticipating by several months the time accorded to the bank by the indulgence of its creditors in Juno last. A reference to the accounts will show that, after pay ment of all current expenses, the heavy charge of interest on the promissory notes, interest to customers, and rebate of interest on bills on hand, there remains a not profit of From which sum it is pro posed to carry to reserved surplus fund ... To make a payment of inte rest to Shareholders for the half -year, at the rate of Five per Cent. per annum, free of income tax, which will amount to 16,458 6 8 To carry forward to next ac count the balance of £32,116 0 9 The reserved surplus fund will, by the addition of six Months' interest, and the appropriation now recommended, be increased to £90,000.

JOSEPH GIBBS, Secretary. Mansion House, January '23, 1867. Church, at 10 minutes past 12 o'clock, when the body was received at the entrance by the Rev. J. C. Dyer, domestic chaplain to the late marquis, and the Rev. W. H. Charlton, rector of Easton, who jointly performed the funeral service. The widowed marchioness, accompanied by her two daugh ters, Lady Mary Bandon and Lady Victoria Evans Freke, who evidently shared the deep grief of their mother, occupied the family pew, which, together with the pulpit and road ing-desk, was draped with black cloth. After the usual portion of the Burial Service had been read, the body was taken to the mortuary chapel, during which the organ played the Dead March in " Saul," and there eposited in the new vault above alluded to, when the remainder of the funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Dyer in a most impressive and feeling manner, the marchioness and daugh ters witnessing the last solemn rites. Mr. Hatchford and the whole of the household of Burghley were present on the mournful occasion, and among the trustworthy ser vants was Norman, the late Lord Exeter's favourite jockey, who came from Newmarket to see the last of his revered master. Many of the congregation evinced their sympathy for the bereaved family and affectionate regard for the de ceased nobleman by unmistakeable signs of deep sorrow. Notwithstanding the great number collected from the dif ferent villages for miles round, the behaviour of the crowd was quiet and orderly; although a large body of the local Constabulary attended to preserve order, their services might have been dispensed with. By order of the Mayor of Stamford all traffic was suspended from 11 o'clock till after the funeral. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. Wilson and a few other tradesmen in Stamford by the express wish of the deceased nobleman. Huddersfield Working Men's Conservative Aesociation. The inaugural banquet in connection with the above association was held in the Philosophical Hall, Huddersfield, on Wednesday evening. Mr. W. E. Hirst presided, rand was supported by several members of Parliament and gentlemen of position in the neighbourhood. The CHAIRMAN said he had received letters from many members of Parliament, apologising for non attendance, and wishing success to the association. He read the following letter from Lord Stanley : "Foreign-office, Jan. 4, 1867. " Sir,—l have taken a day to think over your letter, which reached me yesterday, and it is with real regret that I find myself unable to accept an invitation so flattering in itself, and conveyed in language so expressive of such cor dial good feeling. But the pressure of business here has compelled me to decline, for the present, all requests to attend public meetings in the provinces, and I cannot wall break through the rule which I have laid down for myself in one case without doing so in others. I see with great pleasure the growth of Conservative . associations among working men. The more we have of them the better. Everybody, so far as I know, desires that the best of the working class should be admitted to the franchise; and it is the interest of these, quite as much as it is that of capi talists or landowners, that the right of voting should not be rendered practically valueless in their hands by being extended to others who, from (perhaps) inevitable igno rance, are unfitted for so grave and responsible a trust. Sincerely reciprocating your good wishes, I remain your obedient servant, " STANLEY." The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of, Mr. W. GLEDHILL, a working man, gave " The Earl of Derby and the House of Lords." The Earl of DARTMOUTH responded, and said he believed they were glad to welcome a member of the House of Lords ; because, though they were not averse to political improvement, they were opposed to sweeping democratic change. (Applause.) They were not anxious to see the House of Com mons so constituted that it would be impossible for the two Houses of the Legislature ever to work together ; but while they desired to see social and political improvement, they remembered that in an old established country like this, with a compli cated constitution, change must be gradual in order to be for the better. (Applause.) He was certain that, whatever measures Lord Derby might decide upon bringing forward for the amendment of the representation, they would be based upon well matured counsels ; while many who had not at pre sent the privilege of voting were admitted within the pale of the constitution, nothing would be done to permanently upset the balance of that constitu- tion under which this country had attained to such a pitch of happiness and prosperity. (Applause.) Mr. T. BROOK, another working man, proposed " Mr. Disraeli and the House of Commons." Major WATERHOUSE, M.P., in responding, said the reception accorded to the toast gave the lie to Mr. Bright and those who synipathised with his views, and the violent aspersions he had lavished upon the House of Commons. -He congratulated them upon the increasing intelligence of the people, as contrasted with that which existed when the Re form Bill of 1832 was passed. They were not met on that occasion to repudiate reform. (Applause.) They had intimated the very reverse through their chiefs in 1859, and the measure then proposed was repudiated solely from party motives. (Applause.) Subsequent events had shown that, so far from any advantage being derived from the delay which had taken place, had that measure been accepted, there would not have been heard demands for increased privileges from Mr. Bright and those connected with him. (Applause.) He contended that Mr. Glad stone, so far from being a pioneer of reform, from the arrogant dictation which he assumed to the members of the House of Commons when he was in power, was the greatest enemy of reform, (Hear.) The House of Commons, bad it submitted to be cajoled on the one band, or to be bullied on the other, would have shown very little of that spirit of independence which pervaded that assembly. (Applause.) The present House of Commons represented the feelings, views, and wishes of the nation, and the chances were that if it were changed it would not be materially improved. But he did not say its sphere should not be enlarged, for lie was an advocate for increasing the privileges of those who were outside the pale of the constitution. He hoped that the Governmentwould shortly introduce a measure which should command the approbation of the country at large ; and he should be deeply disappointed if the Government were inactive in that matter. They had also to expect from the Government measures not only having reference to reform in the representation, but relating to the army, the navy, to the Canadian Confederation, and to the extension of the Factory Act. He congratu lated the association on that entertainment ; nothing that had ever occurred in that neighbour hood could have such an effect on their opponents an it would have, and he wished the association God speed. (Applause.) Mr. N. LEAROYD proposed " Success to the Hud dersfield Working Men's Conservative Association," and stated that it numbered upwards of 500 members. The CHAIRMAN replied, and said one object of the working men in establishing the association was to show that they stood aloof from those who wished to Americanise our institutions, or to reduce us to the level of the people of France. (Applause.) Mr. W. B. FERRAND, who was warmly received, proposed " Her Majesty's Ministers." He said he was proud to visit Huddersfield once more for it was there the battle of the Ten Hours Bill had been fought. That was a Conservative law, and it bad done more to produce good feeling between employers and em ployed than any other measure ever devised by man. (Applause.) Labour was the founder of Conserva • tism, and as long as labour lasted Conservatism would exist. (Hear, hear.) If they looked through out the country they would find that the great ma jority of thoughtful working men were Conserva tives; while the great majority of the idle and the ignorant did not understand the principles of Con servatism, and therefore easily became the tools of designing knaves. (Applause.) It was well for England at this time, when there were so many men banded together with the dangerous classes of this country to upset her institutions, that they had so firm, fearless, and loyal a man as Lord Derby for Prime Minister. (Applause.) When he proposed to admit 400,000 working men to the franchise, the Whigs and extreme Radicals entered into a base coalition to deprive him of office, and no doubt a similar attempt would be wade when Parliament The late Marquis of Exeter, K. G. Tho funeral of the lamented Marquis of Exeter, H.G., took place yesterday, when his honoured remains were placed in the family vault in the ancient church of St. Martin's, Stamford. During Wednesday, between the hours of ten and four, nearly 6,000 persons passed through Burghley House to see the lying in state. The apartment, the stone parlour, where the lying in state took place, was hung and carpeted with black drapery, and in the centre of the room was placed the richly-ornamented coffin, con taining the remains of the respected marquis, on which were placed his sword and military plumed hat, together with the ribbon and badge of the Order of the Garter, as well as the coronet on a crimson velvet cushion. The outer coffin was covered with black velvet, and on . the plate, underneath the arms of the late marquis, was the following inscription:— The Most Noble Brownlow Cecil, Second Marquis of Exeter, K.G., Hereditary Grand Almoner, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the Counties of Northampton and Rutland; Born, 2d July, 1795. Died 16th January, 1867. "I know that my Redeemer liveth.." The pall partially covered the foot of the coffin, and at the head were placed plumes of black feathers, and against the wall a silk tabard, the emblazoned armorial bearings of the late marquis. Surrounding the coffin wore a num ber of caedelabra, with wax tapers. Nearly the whole of the tenantry and their families attended the lying in state for the late marquis was held in the highest respect and affectionate regard by hi s tenants. Yesterday morning th e f uneral too k p l ace . Th e b e ll o f St . Martin's Church began to toll at 11 o'clock, and at that hour all the houses and shops in the town of Stamford were closed out of respect to the memory of the marquis. The bells of the other churches also tolled till after the funeral. The funeral procession formed at Burghley House shortly after 11 o'clock. The funeral cavalcade having been marshalled proceeded through the park to the principal lodge in the Great North road in th e f ollowing order : Two Mutes. The Undertaker. Page. State Lid of Feathers. Page. The late Marquis's Coronet on a Crimson State Groom. Velvet Cushion, State Groom. borne by Mr. Rambling, a devoted servitor of the deceased Marquis, on horseback.

The firstmourniug coach contained Lord Burghley (chief mourner), Lord Thos. Cecil, brother, and Lords Brownlow and Adelbert Cecil, sons of the late Marquis. The second mourning coach contained the Earl Spencer, Viscount Sandon, Hon. Mr. Cecil, and Hon. A. Wellesley. The third mourning coach contained the Hon. Wm. Evans Freke, the Earl Percy, Viscount Cranborne, M.P., and the Earl of Longford ; and fourth mourning coach the Hon. Wm. Cecil , Dr. Hopkinson, Dr. N ew m an , and Mr. Wm. Higgs (the land steward of the late marquis). The private carriage of the late marquis followed in the roar, after which the servants of the family walked to the church. A great many yeomen and gentlemen farmers, attired in deep mourning, had assembled at the park lodge, and ac companied the funeral to the church. The greatest order and decorum were manifested by all present. St. Martin's Church, the burial place of the Cecil family, is an interest ing building, and calculated to hold about 500 people. It was built by John Russell in the reign of Edward 'IV., about the year 1480 ; the same site having been previously occupied by a sacred edifice, erected between 1133 and 1147, by Martin de Vecti, Abbot of Peterborough, who de dicated it to the saint whose name he bore, which edifice was given to the convent of St. Michael, in Stamford, by William de Waterville, the founder of that monastery, and the vicarage was soon afterwards ordained. Upon the sup pression of the monasteries , the rectory and vicarag e were year 1541, to M r . Ri c h ar d Cecil, father surer Burghley, from w h om t h ey have o f granted,the Lordab uTt Treasurer descended to his successors. The most important features in St. Martin's Church, beyond its fine old painted glass windows, are the handsome monuments which have been erected in it to the memory of the various members of the noble house of Cecil. The ancient vault of the family of Cecil is under the north aisle of the chancel of the church, and contains the stone coffin of the Lord Treasurer Burghley, Queen Elizbeth's wise and favourite Minister. This vault being filled with the mortal remains of the Cecil family, the late marquis a few years ago caused a new vault to be made in the north side of the church, over which vault has been erected a spacious and costly mor tuary chapel, a rich and successful example of mediaeval art in keeping with the ancient church. Tho interior walls and arcade aro of Ketton stone. The roof rises from richly sculptured corbels, and is of peculiar richness, and entirely of fine English oak grown in Burghley Park. The floor is of marble inlay, and has the following inscription :—" To the glory of God, and in memory of four departed children, this mortuary chapel was erected by the Most Noble the Mar quis of Exeter, K.G., in the year of our Lord 1864." The building was erected from the designs and under the super vision of his lordship's architect, Mr. E. Browning, of Stam ford. Everypart of the church was filled by a most respect able cogreptiou. The funer4l cortege reached st. Bliatied PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. met. But the people would not be deceived, and would rally round Lord Derby and his Govern ment to retain them in office. (Applause.) There was no man in the House Commons in whom working men ought to place greater confidence, or for whom they ought to have greater respect, than Mr. Disraeli, who had supported many measures materially affecting their interests ; and he (Mr. Ferrand) had. never found Mr. Disraeli voting against them, or uttering a word which could militate against their interests. (Applause.) Lord John Manners had been an able coadjutor with Mr. Disraeli in carrying out those measures. General Peel was the soldier's friend, and for many years there had not been in the office a man so competent to discharge its duties. Lord Stanley had always done all in his power to promote the moral, religious, and physical improvement of the working popula tion ; and at the present time it was of vital conse quence to England that he should be Foreign Mini ster, in order that he might restore the influence of England, which had been destroyed by the wavering policy of Earl Russell. (Applause.) Sir Stafford Northcote, one of the most industrious men in the House of Commons, had replaced one of the most idle officials who ever presided at the Board of Trade, and who was thoroughly negligent of his duty. By the appointment of Sir John Pakington, the resto ration of the navy to its former power was ensured. At the present time, were Russian or American monitors to appear upon our coasts, they could sweep our fleet into the sea. This state of things had been brought about by Whig ipbbery ; but in a short time Sir John Pakington, with the aid of Captain Coles, would give England a fleet able to cope with Russia and America at the same time. (Applause.) He would make a few re marks on the struggle which was at present taking place in the country. It was a struggle between the supporters of a limited monarchy and the ad vocates of a fierce democracy. The latter sought to gain influence by foul abuse of the Conservative party, and it had not been replied to by men of equal or superior talent as it should have been ; therefore the Conservative party have been dis trusted, and it was only now obtaining the position to which its influence, wealth, and loyalty entitled it, by means of such demonstrations as the one they were taking part in. (Cheers.) The gentle man who had pursued this system of gross abuse more than any other was Mr. Bright. Year after year he had pursued this avocation. He was a man of extraordinary talent, but he used it to the worst of purposes. (Applause.) He bad addressed meet ings of the people in violent language, and at last it became absolutely necessary for the Conservative party to meet bis assertions, and prove them to be false. He intended to pursue that course that evening, convinced that by so doing he was per forming his duty as a loyal Conservative, and at the same time pointing out to the working men the danger there was in following the guidance of such a man. Mr. Bright produced no facts to establish his gross charges ; all was mere assertion. Hi s abuse of Lord Derby had increased tenfold since the conclusion of the noble lord's emi nent services as chairman of the Cotton Re lief Committee. He had charged the Con servative party with being the' enemy of the poor ; he (Mr. Ferrand) defied Mr. Bright to point out one instance in which it had been so. (Hear, hear.) The other day he charged the clergy and gentry in the neighbourhood of Windsor Castle with neglecting the education of the poor, and evidently tried to identify his Sovereign with this neglect by using the words " Windsor Castle." These charges had been disproved, but Mr. Bright had never re tracted them. He had charged Lord Grosvenor, Lord Elcho, and Mr. Lowe with being dirty con spirators ; there were not three more honourable men in England. (Applause.) lie had charged Mr. Garth with going " through dirt to dignities." He (Mr. Ferrand) held in his hand statements which substantiated almost entirely every word uttered by Mr. Garth, but it was impossible to take up their time by reading them on that occasion. The other day Mr. Bright deliberately wrote that he (Mr. Ferrand) was the greatest ruffian that had appeared in the House of Commons during the last 50 years. (Loud laughter.) He made that charge on the pretended statement of a man who had been dead 20 years, and he said that gentleman bad made the remark to Mr. Cobden, who bad also been dead some time. This was a libel on the dead. Not a man in England believed it, and the man who be. lieved it least was Mr. Bright himself. (Applause.; The toast was acknowledged by Mr. F. S. Powell M.P. Other toasts. followed. Our Colonies. The Times, referring to the dinner of Canadian delegates, observes that if the practical indepen dence of the colonies be now established and in violable, if their spontaneous growth cannot be arrested, if their self-action cannot be controlled or their public opinion so much as influenced by this country, it certainly behoves them to consider well, and in good time, the very great difficulties and onerous conditions under which the Imperial con nection is maintained. That connection now costs us the abstraction of 14,000 soldiers from a mili tary force which we are told on all sides is in adequate to the pretensions to be maintained and the work to be done. It costs us that large. pro portion of our navy which, on any emergency, would have to be detached for this work. It costs u. the perpetual weakness we suffer in comparison with our neighbours or rivals far or near by the notoriety of this necessary deduction from our disposable power. This is what it costs us, and to the colonies themselves it costs even more. Though they would have us to bear the brunt, the quarrel, if any, would be with us, and our connection would be the political weak ness through which they could be invaded. Any question, in which they may happen to hae abso lutely no concern, may become the occasion of an attack which, if not fatal to their independence, will have to be resisted at fearful odds or bought off by intolerable penalties. In any possible con flict with their neighbour they will be the dwarf and England the giant of the fable, and no victory whatever will compensate for the actual injuries that the weaker may have to pay for it. 'These are considerations that would hardly have been ap plicable in the good old days of Imperial unity and colonial dependence. But they are everything now. It is now for the colonies themselves to answer the questions their forefathers might have fairly put as to the designs of the mother country. Responsi bility goes with power, and the colonies, being now powerful, are also responsible . What will they do ? There is no immediate necessity for a definite answer, but the time may co me, and it is far nearer than it has been. The Telegraph is satisfied that, confederated or not, the British North American provinces have a great future before them. Already they constitute —taken together—the fourth mari time Power in the world, their commercial navy being inferior only to those of England, America, and France ; and, as the country is opened up by increased facilities of communication, this strength must inevitably increase. If they decide—as seems probable— on forming a Confederation, there is no reason why that should at all weaken the tics which at present unite them to the mother country. MR: AND MRS. CHAS. KEAN IN BRISTOL—The reappearance of these famous actors on our boards after such a considerable interval of time, and after their inte resting professional tour in Australia and America, is an event which was naturally interesting to the lovers of the drama in this city. Unfortunately, as wo think, for the public and the macagement, the present engagement of the heaps is very limited—" Louis X 1.," the " Merchant of Venice," and "Henry VII 1.," being the only plays in which they are announced. On Wednesday n ight the first-named piece was produced, Mr. Kean, of course, taking the part of the crafty and superstitious King. There is nothing to bo said of the performance but praise, and the highest praise is that which fits best with the performance. Mrs. Kean played the small part of Margaret, and showed how much can be made of little by a true artiste.—Western Daily P rat' A scene of great excitement vailed in Deptford on Wednesday dininia liad its origin at the house of the relieving ofl. , Mr. Pattie, High-street. A number of labourers and others had applied for relief in the course of the evening, but all the available tickets having been disposed of it was announced that no further dis tribution could take place that night. On receipt of this intelligence, at about eight p.m., the appli cants, in large bodies, proceeded to parade the streets in a threatening manner, causing such ap prehension in the minds of the tradesmen that a general closing of shops at once commenced. A. large body of men passing along High -street made a forcible entry into the shop of Mr. Mager, a baker, breaking the windows, and emptying the shop of all its contents. An attack was next made on Mr. Buskin's, baker, and the door forced in, several panes of glass broken, and loaves stolen. The next victim of the rioters was Mr. Sammond, in the same street, who, in order to protect his premises from injury, voluntarily handed out his stock of bread to the mob, who thus carried off every loaf which the shop contained ; and, in ad dition, wantonly seized a sack of flour, and scat tered it in the street. Thence they made their way to the shop of Mrs. Cracknell, in the Broadway, also a baker, where the windows were broken and the place completely plundered. A pork butcher's in the High-street was also stripped of all the available joints the mob could lay their hands on. A linendraper's shop, in the occupation of Mr. John Webb, known as Co burg House, was next attacked, the rioters succeed ing in making considerable seizures of the stock. Mr. Urry, a baker, was better prepared, having already closed his shop, and when the roughs ap peared he prudently bolted and barred the door, and the lawless assemblage passed on in search of easier ' prey. By this time, however, a strong reinforce ment of the A reserve of the metropolitan police, consisting of mounted as well as foot police, appeared on the scene, and by their prompt measures succeeded in dispersing the mob and restoring comparative order. A large number of the rioters, however, remained loitering about in groups up till midnight, occasionally giving vent to loud yells and curses. Under apprehension of a renewal of the like disorders yesterday morning, the tradesmen pru dently kept their places of business closed. At an early hour large numbers of men made their ap pearance in the streets, and the presence of the police had the effect of preventing any serious mischief in the main thoroughfares. A baker's shop, how ever, situated in old King-street, and kept by Mr. Piper, was forcibly entered and all the bread carried away. About 200 of the mob next drew up at the end of High-street, near Wellington-street, between a baker's shop on the one side and an extensive but cher's establishment, well stocked, on the other. In the latter, on one of his blocks, sat the worthy pro prietor facing the mob (which was drawn up by their ringleaders in front of his shop), and with the most provoking sang froid sharpening his large knife on a steel, feeling the edge, and then again looking at the mob. A man, stated to be well and even re spectably dressed (for his class), then advanced to the centre of the rioters, and, pointing into the shop, said to the gang, " There you are ; walk in and help yourself." This was repeated two or three times, but the ruffians disliked the determined look of the cold steel so courageously handled by the butcher, and abandoned the idea. They were about turning their attention to the baker's opposite, when 10 mem bers of the R division of police, in charge of a ser geant, appeared on the scene, and stopped any further proceedings in that direction. The trades man before alluded to stepped forth from his shop and, pointing out the ringleader, and narrating his attempts to excite the mob to violence, requested the police to take him in charge, but they, either from not being able to legally proceed under the cir cumstances, or otherwise refuse to do so. By this time, about 11.30 a.m., the majority of the rioters left in a body, and proceeded along the Greenwich-road in the direction of Greenwich, en tering on the road a baker's shop, situated at the corner of Derbyshire-road, and taking what bread they could. Happily this was the last exploit we heard of, and, we have no doubt, will prove the finish of these disgraceful disturbances. Last night the arrangements of the police were on a scale that would have secured the peace of the district under circumstances of an absolutely riotous character. In the High-street, where the plunder ing took place, policemen in couples paraded through out the evening, and in various parts of the districts mounted police were in requisition. There were also in attendance reserves from the A and R divisions of police under Superintendent Walker and Super intendent Wakeford. From the personal inquiries of some 20 of the most respectable tradesmen of Deptford residing in the immediate vicinity of the robberies of the "roughs," and from conversation with the authorities, we can state most positively that the working classes of the locality had nothing whatever to do with this disgraceful disturbance. At the time this communication was made last night —ten o'clock—Deptford was, with the exception of large numbers of persons who had doubtless been attracted to the spot from motives of curiosity, be ginning to assume its wonted aspect. STATE OF TRADE. 13.1 - upronm, Jan. 21.—The market is very flat to-day in every branch. Inanimate as was the wool market last week the decline is even more marked to-day. The change is indicated in the fact that the stapler in vain seeks to make the spinner his customer, instead of the spinner, as hereto fore, of late going to press the stapler to do business. There have been fewer transactions in all sorts of wool, and, ex cept in a few choice and scarce sorts, such as very good Yorkshire hogs, there is a marked softening in quotations, which aro fully a fraction lower. The worsted yarn de partment is dull and inanimate. There is less inquiry than last week. Although some spinners continue well em ployed, and are consequently firm in their quotations, there are others who are not so fortunate, quite ready to make a slight concession to secure a customer. Some continental merchants have placed orders, small in the aggregate to supply actual demands, and the home demand is for cur rent wants. ENGLISH OFFICERS' GRAVES AT TOULOUSE.— Some short time since it was publicly stated that the monu ments and tablets eructed to the memory of some English officers who fell at Toulouse were falling into decay, and were not properly preserved. On this subject the Emperor Napoleon has addressed a letter, of which the following is a translation, to Viscount Hood :—" Palace of the Tuileries, Jan. 20, 1867.—Sir,—I learn with regret from your letter that the tombs of the English officers killed at the battle of Toulouse aro in a state of decay. Soldiers who fall on a foreign land belong to that land, and it is the duty of all to honour their memory. I shall take upon myself the ex pense of repairing these tombs. Receive the assurance of my sentiments, NAPCILEON." THE TABARD INN, SOUTHIVARK.--Of the anti quity of this inn there can be no doubt, and its identity may be traced most satisfactorily. The land on which it stood was purchased by the abbot in Hyde, in 1307, and he built upon it a hostel, or town house, for the abbots when they came to London. It may be supposed that the inn for the accommodation of the public was built by the abbots, and that they received their profits from it. Pro bably it was built with tho viow of furnishing accommo dation for the numerous pilgrims resorting from all parts of the kingdom to the famous shrine of St. Thomas of Canterbury, for it stands just between the Pilgrim's Way from the west and south of England and the much better known continuation of tho Pilgrim's Way onward to Can terbury, so that it would be exactly the spot where they would be glad to find a halting-place. It is by no means unlikely that the abbot of Hyde built the inn for this pur pose very soon after he became possessed of the ground if there was not one already in existence, but there can be no doubt that when Chaucer lived, that is, in the latter resortyears of o the f th fourteenth pilgrims, o c e r n t a u t ry, leastth e that Tabard b i a t r d,:uvaalss the the o m t haveusual os t frequented hostolry in Southwark, or he would n introduced it in that character.—Once a eek. __...,., LADTERTISEIVIENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Sate and Sure.—Day by day are cases of ulcers, woitnds, sores, contractions, and deformities cured by these v-cll - remedies, after all other known mesas have been tried in vain.
