The PRESIDENT, in a review of the trade and commerce of the town during the year, gave sta- tistics showing the enormous suffering and loss that had arisen from the strike, and consequent lock out, that prevailed for sixteen weeks in the file trade. The loss to the trade of the. town by that dispute would not be much less than £200,000. The loss of wages alone, he was informed, would amount to over £95,000. The president referred to the change that was apparently avproaching in the commercial policy of Austria. That great empire was one of their worst customers, standing thirty-fifth in the list of the countriea with which they did business. S P ANISH FLY is the acting ingredient in ALEX.

They arc really professional men, and they arc chosen, not by rotation, bat by the body of creditors. They say it works well in Scotland. Why the whole of Scotland is not e4nal to Londoc. I know what will be the consequence, that there will be first of all a struggle, a tassel between various creditors as to who they shall appoint their assignee. They say that there will be a certain number of persons that will devote themselves to the business of as signee ; that there will be A, B, and C, and so on all down the alphabet, and then you can choose your own assignee. That will be the first thing—a fight amongst the creditors. The next is, the chances are that the men won't be really so well instructed as the men were who were the official assignees under the old bankruptcy law of Lord Brougham. Nothing could be worse than the original bankruptcy law. A great improvement was made by the bill Lord Brougham brought in. There were great mistakes in his bill ; but the most mischievous thing, I think, ever done to trade by legislation, excepting protection, was Lord West bury's Bankruptcy Bill. (Hear, hear.) That has been found out, and you all know, Sir, that the mercantile world are up in arms at the present state of the bankruptcy law of England. We shall have another experiment ; they are going to try the Scotch system. 1 hope the Scotch system may suc ceed ; my belief is that it will not ; and I shall take the opportunity which, I suppose, will be afforded me, of stating my views on the bankruptcy law whenever it comes before the House of Commons. And I hope none of you will fancy I am going be yond my duty if I oppose your views in this matter. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I have one more word to say, Sir, and that is in regard to America. It is not simply a desire for protection that brings about the protective tariff. There are many parties in that country, and every party fights for their assist ants. There are large bodies of men who want protection, and in order to gain their help, as party men, protection is established throughout the United States. If you want a proof of the direful effects of protection, you will go to the United States. At this present moment—l wish my poor countrymen knew it—going there they fancy they are going to Paradise—they are going rather to the other place. (Hear and laughter.) But now that Canada has taken the line of free trade, the consequence will be—and you will see it immediately—that there will be so large a smuggling trade to Canada that I have no doubt Sheffield will benefit. (Laughter.) I hope this will be the result, and that in the fights now going on on that continent we at least shall be gainers. I hope you will not fancy I have done any great thing in coming here. I came down in four hours from London ; I felt no difficuly in get ting into the carriage—l came down, in fact, very much like a trunk—(laughter)—in a very comfort able way. If I can upon any occasion, by coming here, do any service to Sheffield I hope you will make no " bones" (if I may use a vulgar phrase) in asking me to come down, and I shall be most happy to wait upon you. (Applause.) tectionist policy of America, which threatens such disaster to Sheffield, and of the relaxation of the Canadian protective system. The proposed com mission of inquiry into the Sheffield trade outrages was briefly referred to, and on this point the presi dent emphatically vindicated the right of every man to carry his labour to an open market and make the best possible terms for himself. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. J. A. Roe buck, M.P., for leis constant attention to the wants of the town ; and he was elected, with Mr. Hadfield, an honorary member. Mr. ROEBUCK, on rising, was received with ap plause. He said—Mr. Chairman, sir, I am very much obliged to the chamber for the kind expres sion of opinion respecting myself, and I am also deeply obliged to Mr. Atkinson for the manner in which he has proposed the vote of thanks. But, sir I think my proper business here is to listen, and not to talk. I came down to receive instructions from those whose interests are concerned , and I have been ' if I may use the reall y term, by very the report p u o c r l edified whichhas been read by your secretary. The business of a member of Parlia ment, I take it to be, is to receive all the informa tion and important facts that he can receive from the Chamber of Commerce, and that then he should apply his mind, as a statesman, to render the know ledge so acquired useful in shape of laws. The busi ness of a lawyer is supposed to require education. The business of a physician is also supposed to re quire some education ; but statesmanship, like gig driving, is supposed to come by instinct. (Laugh ter.) I have found that two matters are very con stantly confounded together, namely, the supplying us with information of facts, and at the same time the giving us the opinions of the parties who supply those facts. I receive both with the greatest pos sible thankfulness, but I keep to myself the power and the right to do what I like with the evidence that is brought before me. (Hear, hear ) The cvi- Jence of opinion is important, but the evidence of fact for a legislator is still more important, and I do hope, being an honorary member of your worthy body, that when you think it worth while to communicate, you will communicate it to me, and it shall receive, as all such comtnuni cationsought.to receive, the greatest care I can possibly give to it, and the action shall be immediate ; and, as Mr. Jackson said, I will do the best I can with the information you so supply.

THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another Lome to th' 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have been sent away in' five years. the new home the Committee wish to form woald be for young girls, almost children, from the age of 8 to 18, who have been led astray from the path of virtue. Mr. Daniel Cooper, Queen •strect Cheapside; _ C ontributions will be received gra t e f u lly by th e S ecre t ar y, Barclay and Co.. L om b ard -street, or by Messrs ception of England, has a notion of protecting trade and, therefore, we need not be at all surprised that the German merchants of the Austrian empire have acquired a notion o f th e benefit of protection. When we find that our o wn colonists, sent out by Eng land, in a very f ew years after they have acquired self-government h ave p u t on protective duties by which the manuf ac t ur e rs of England are subjected to taxation of the highest kind— pretty nearly to the amount of exclusion—we need not be surprised that the Germans, who have not that sort of connection with us that our colonies have, do the same thing. (Hear, hear.) But, Sir, I have had an opportunity lately of addressing my old Canadian friends, for it is pretty well known that a great part of my youth was passed in C ana d a . I met them the other day, and I opened my mind to them. I told them very plainly that En g l an d d er i ve d no earthly benefit from except her colonies, the due which she might derive from them as being the recipients of her manufac tures ; but that they in their wisdom had done their utmost to exclude the manufactures of England. But I hope this will not continue ; that they may see the right w a y, an d re t ur n to us some acknow ledgment of the b ene fit s we have conferred. We have given them our l angua ge, our laws, our litera ture, and our protection whenever it was required. For all this we got nothing. All we seek is free trade, and we have got protection thrown in our faces. That, I believe, is upon the decline. What you said about Canada is quite true. They are be ginning to learn the right path, and are beginning to pursue it, andi believe Austria is doing the same. (Hear, hear.) Now, I am very much surprised that should be the case, excepting that I believe in the case of Austria a dire necessity has taught them wisdom. They are now separated from Germany. The largest portions of Austrian territory are pro ducers of raw produ'e. They want cheap manufac tures, and the best thing the Emperor can do, as regards the largest part of his possessions, is to intro duce, as far as possible, free trade. I believe the German portion of the Austrian empire will by de grees see that they can also stand this tussel with us of free trade ; but I am quite sure that one means of holding the empire of Austria together will be by free trade, and that that little bit of knowledge, most vital for the empire, has crept into the minds of the rulers of Austria. Now, Sir, there is one other remark I wish to make, and I speak in this desultory manner because I had made no prepara tion for what I am going to say, but merely refer to what wassuggested to me by the report. But I wish to say one word about the bankruptcy laws, and to make an observation with regard to the mode I shall pursue with reference to information I may receive from you. Lord Westbury, when he was Attorney-General, introduced the bankruptcy law. I hope my professional friends will not take offence at what I am about to say. I was very inti mate with the Attorney-general, and I said to him, " I object to your bill altogether, and I will tell you why I object. It is a Bankruptcy Bill made for the attorneys."—(Applause.) I hope, as I said before, no professional friend will take offence. (A laugh.)But the very thing occuried that I predicted would occur. You did away, in reality, with the official assignee. An assignee is appointed by the creditors. He cannot do the duty ; he knows nothing about it, and he must have an attorney on his right hand ; and when you did away with the official assignee, you really made the attorney the assignee. What .are you about doing now ? I had a long fight on this subject through the com mittee of the House of Commons, and that com mittee went pell-mell, headlong in favour of the Scotch system. 1 don't like prophesying, but I will venture to prophesy about that.

ER r DIE s' t On Thursday evening a Conservative festival was held at the Guildhall, Cambridge, which although strictly local, was attended by 600 persons. The meeting was ostensibly in honour of Messrs. F. S. Powell and J. E. Gorst, the sitting members, but was certainly no less so in that of Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., who contested the borough and was returned at the head of the poll in 1865. Mr. Alderman BALLS, who took took the chair, after giving the usual loyal toasts, proposed "The Borough Members." Mr. PowELL, in his reply, after expressing his gratitude to the constituency of Cambridge for the confidence they had placed in him, said it would be no more possible to speak in this month of January, 1867, without reference to a Reform Bill than it would have been in January, 1866, without allusion to the cattle plague. No man dare repudiate this question who had any regard to the safety of the State, as its consideration was demanded by a large body, who year by year were becoming more capable of exercising the rights and fulfilling the great duties of citizenship; but he desired to refute an eft-repeated and dangerous fallacy. In his mind the safety of the country did not dwell in votes, but in laws ; not in the suffrage, but in the ad ministration. It was too common for those interested in popular subjects to argue before popular assemblies that there was less liberty in England than in any other country be cause the suffrage was more restricted with us ; but he would ask that man who was dissatisfied to go to France or. Prussia and see what came of freedom in those countries. He saw nothing in what was now taking place in America that England ought to imitate, but much that she ought diligently to avoid. Doubtless there must shortly be a change in the re presentative system in England. He did not say that they ought to confine themselves to the settle ment of 1832—that change was not necessary ; but he did say such change should be made with cau tion. He trusted some Government would be able Ito deal with those difficulties ; ho had yet to learn that a Conservative Government was more unfit to grapple with them than a so-called Liberal one. If this question were to be got rid of, it could only be by bold and comprehensive legislation. It could not be pushed aside by a timid statesman, for, if so, it would again and again arise and be a stumbling block in •the path of beneficial legislation. He trusted the Legislature would never yield to a me nacing democracy and exhibitions of force. Let them believe him when he said that the Parliament of England once overawed, the supreme power in this English laud now enjoyed by the three estates of the realm would pass under the govern ment of men who mistook frenzy for reason, lauda tions of themselves and those who followed them as the greatest triumphs of statesmanship, and the most brilliant achievement of political science. (Cheers.) In the course of next Session he hoped to see some useful legislation iu regard to certain of the public departments, and in the conduct of these affairs no ground could be stated why a Conserva tive Government was not as much entitled to the confidence of the English people as a " Whig" or " Liberal " one. Reform was urgently required in our Administration as regarded the army and navy, the law and education. We required such a settle ment of the education question as would diminish pau perism and relieve the rates, by the abrogation of a system imposed by a Whig Chancellor, happily no longer in Downing-street. Another question he wished to see dealt with next Session was the dwellings of the working classes. He did not wish to impose heavy burdens to improve the state of any class, but he did desire to see removed from England the deep disgrace of having in large centres of population the worst-housed people. They were told Conservatives were in a minority in Parliament. He did not know whether that was so, but he did know that Conservative principles were not in a minority in England, and he did desire earnestly that the coma try should be fairly tested and an opinion taken. The Whig Radical party was a most disrupt and h eterogen eous one. The Whigs voted with the ex treme Radicals, not to assist them in their views, but in order to circumvent and defeat them. The Radicals did not vote with the Whigs from any unity of principle, but that they might utterly abo lish and put an end to Whig ascendancy. So they were at war. They had no common end, while the Conservatives were a united and homogeneous party. They were not opposed to progress ; they desired advance, but they desired to advance safely ; there might be changes in their party, but one thing he was sure of—there would be, as in the past, the same earnest and unflinching adhesion to those con, ~~ -~ PRICY 4d. STAMPED sd. servativc principles the triumph of which they were met to celebrate that day. (Loud cheering.) Mr. GoitsT, after warmly thanking the meeting for the kindness show❑ him, said there was no doubt they should next session have to face the question of reform. Speaking as a private person, he did not hesitate to express his opinion it was desirable the Reform be postponed. If the question were taken this session no other legislation could possibly take place. Reform would be the first and only question. lie believed there were a number of other subjects demanding immediate attention, and first among them army reform. With regard to re form, he thought public opinion was not ripe for the question yet. The party who cried out for re form and an extension of the suffrage—men like Mr. Lowe and Lord Grosvenor—as soon as they were brought face to face with a concrete bill, shrank back aghast ; so he thought it would be well if the question were hung up a little while to give them time to make up their minds as to what a Reform Bill meant. An experiment in universal suffrage was going on in Prussia and America, and it would be better to wait and see the result of that. Dr. FAWCETT proposed the health of Mr. Forsyth. Mr. FORSYTII, in his reply, said he differed some what from his friend Mr. Gorst on the subject of Reform, and he hoped the policy would not be one of inaction with regard to that question. There was an excellent opportunity to bring in a safe and satisfactory measure, and there was a noble career open to the Government if they carried it. There would then be the questions of law reform, bank ruptcy, education, and many others, to enter upon, and he hoped attention would be paid to the means of:determining some punishment for the authors of such great commercial frauds as had of late been a disgrace and a scandal to England. Ile believed that any Government that would grapple with these questions successfully would deserve and obtain the gratitude as well as a verdict of the country. Other toasts having been proposed and re sponded to, the proceedings terminated.

S. PATRICK, Upper Platte Agent," The Steamboat Springs. The special correspondent of the Detroit Free Press gives the following description of this singular phenomenon, dated from Star City, Nevada :—ln my letter of the 9th November to the free Press I promised to give you a description of our boiling springs. These springs are situated about twenty miles from Carson City, which is the capital of the State. They are called " Steamboat Springs," from the noise they make, which sounds like several steamers discharging steam. These springs cover an area of about three acres. The water is boiling hot, and the escaping steam can be seen for several miles before sunrise, and the atmosphere in the vicinity is filled with the smell of sulphur. At the springs are bath-houses, where at least 200 patients are accommodated. There are also two fine hotels. The water cures the rheumatism effectually. There are crevices in the rocks where the water can be seen boiling at a depth of thirty feet. Here is also a spring which is called the breathing spring. The spring is shaped much like a well. The water recedes to the depth of ten or twelve feet, and re mains calm for five minutes, and then commences to boil, and rises until it shoots in the air above ten feet, and in five minutes it begins to recede. I tried its operation for at least half an hour. I have no doubt but years ago the whole country was subject to volcanic eruptions, for lava can be found all around these springs. Steamboat Springs are be coming quite noted as one of the greatest curiosities of the age, and they are yearly visited by hundreds of tourists. Lady Franklin, the widow of Sir John Franklin, has written much about these springs. She visited them some five years since. There arc many other boiling springs in other portions of the State, but none of the magnitude of Steamboat Springs. The City of Star contains about 6,000 inhabi tants. It is in Star District, Humboldt County, and its main street is the overland stage road. Daily the stages pass to and fro with the mails from New York to San Francisco, and the tele graph wires give us news at all hours from every accessible point on the globe. The discovery of mines in this country caused thousands to visit us ; towns were built, mills erected, and at this early day we are now exporting from Humboldt County alone, the amount of $BOO,OOO in silver bars each month. There are at present 15 mills running at Star City, using 115 stamps. In addition to these there are now in progress of erection seven other mills, making a total of 22 mills. Scarcely a week passes in which we do not hear of the purchase of some mine by Eastern or English capitalists, who invariably take steps for the erection of a suitable mill on their mine. The Rothsehilds own largely in our mines. The Humphrey mill, of Star City, gave as their results of crushing 693 tons of ore, $159,639.65, being an average of $230.36 per ton. As an evi dence of the steady increase in the production of silver in Nevada, we submit the statistics of the yearly report ending September Ist, 1866, of the amount produced in Star District. These statis tics are obtained from the city assessment roll, amounting in round numbers to $1,168,000. The wealth of this region is almost inestimable, and the receipts of some of the mining companies put the riches of some oil wells to the blush. The mining wealth of Nevada has induced the formation of many new companies in most of your leading cities on the Atlantic coast. The State of Nevada, with a population of forty thousand inhabitants or less, took out of her mines in gold and silver bullion during the year 1861, as is shown by the statistics of exports, more than $30,000,000. The Indian Carrying Company. ~'L The report of the directors of this company states that the instructions for closing the Bombay agency were carried into effect in September last The losses there had arisen not so much from individual acts of mismanagement as from inadequate amount of business to bear the heavy standing charges, and to compensate for the high prices which the company were co m p elled to pay during the cotton mania, as well as from causes connected with the condition and unadministrationrigtheperiod in ques tion.ofh e A portion of the rolling rail ways at that Presidency d stoencck h w a d ho b s e e e n h t . n r a e n o s - f f er red direct to the Ben g al ag y , road from Agra j oined that of Bob had also been A co nsiderable number of the wa b g at Indore. w ere much wanted for sent to Madras, where they progress at Madras t h e i n creasing busin ess. The h a d been, on the whole, satisfactory. While the loss by the business in this Presidency in the year end ing the 30th of June, 1865, was nearly £2,500, the loss during the first six months of the present ac count did not exceed £4OO, and in the second six months was about £lOO only. But for the greatly increased cost of cattle food, wages, and cart and bullock hire (amounting to £4,800 over the rate for the preceding year), caused by the famine and cho lera, and the impossibility of increasing the com pany's charges in proportion, there was no reason to doubt that the Madras accounts would have shown a fair profit. The gross receipts had increased 100 per cent. during the 12 months, and amounted to nearly £50,000; on the whole working at Madras from the commencement there had been a profit. Iu the Calcutta agency the business had been much re stricted by the inability of the East India Railway Company to accommodate the great amount of traffic brought to it, and by the systematic prefe rence for some time given by its servants in the allotment of the available waggons to another and rival carrying establishment., to the great detri ment of this company and others.

Upon the whole operations of the company at Calcutta and Niadras a balance of profit was shown of £24,522. From this £16,788 had been, from time to time, written off for losses at Bombay, the greater portion during the two latter years of the account. in consequence of the losses at Bombay no further dividend for the year, beyond the 3 per cent. already paid, could be de clared. The directors had no reason to doubt that the business in Calcutta and Madras, which had now been established for three years, would go on improving, and they expected that measures of economy could be carried out which would lead to the profits hearing an increased ratio to the gross receipts. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Friday Evening. The result of the inquest at Dungarvan you have received. There was a report that two more men had died from the effects of injuries received at the election. This report was conveyed in a telegram. supplied to the newspapers on Wednesday last. It has been contradicted by the Cork Examiner, which says that one man pursued by the Lancers has died within the last few days of fever—not of wounds. There was a meeting in the city of Waterford yesterday, attended by 200 of the most influential citizens, to adopt measures for the relief of the great distress that prevailed there at present. The Mayor presided. Resolutions were moved by Mr. W. Mal comson, Rev. P. Kent, P.P., the Dean of Water ford, and Messrs. Laler, Barron, and Grubb. The sum of £2OO was subscribed on the spot, including £lO each from the two bishops, Dr. Daley and Dr. O'Brien. There was another meeting held in Waterford for the purpose of taking measures to obtain the assist ance of Government in improving the harbour. It was a special meeting of the Harbour Commissioners. The following resolution was adopted : That the chairman, Mr. Clibborno, Mr. Denny, Mr. Kent, Mr. Slattery, Mr. Afalcomson, with our engineer Mr. A. Stephens, be appointed a deputation to wait upon the Board of Trade and Lord Derby, to press upon the Go vernment that the port of Waterford has imperial claims to an outlay for its improvement ; that this board are willing to subsidise their income so as to raise a sum not exceeding L 17,000 in part payment of the necessary outlay in renewing the bar at the entrance of this harbour ; that the city and county members be solicited to join the deputation ; and that the Harbour Commissioners of Ross be requested, by deputation or otherwise, to support this application. At Belfast on Wednesday three brothers named M'Closkey, residing in Irvine-street, were arrested by Head Constable Jacques on suspicion of being connected with the Fenian conspiracy. The persona arrested are shoemakers. The prisoners were brought before Mr. O'Donnell, R.M., at the police-office, and remanded. In the course of the day they were taken to the county gaol. _ _ _ Yesterday the seven persons arrested in that city in connection with the discovery of a large quantity of arms and ammunition were brought up before Mr. Ornie and Mr. O'Donnell, resident magistrates. After a lengthened investigation, Mr. Rea called for the discharge of the prisoners, arguing that non production of the proclamation issued by the Lord- Lieutenant vitiated the case in its inception. The four prisoners were commited for trial on the charge of having bullets in their possession, and remanded upon other charges lodged against them. Yesterday morning Denis Dowling Mulcahy was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, to hear the judgment of the Court on the writ of error which was argued before their Lordships last November. The prisoner was convicted at the recent Special Commission for the city of Dublin, under an indict ment framed under the Act 11th and 12th of Vic toria, called the Treason Felony Act. He was con veyed from Mountjoy Convict Prison in custody of two warders and one of the civil guard of Portland Convict Depot, in a police van, escorted by a detach ment of cavalry police with drawn sabres. I - Ie was in the convict dress and handcuffed i_ he was placed at the side bar, and the sister was allowed a seat near him, but was not permitted to hold any com munication with him. The case having been called, Chief Justice White side proceeded to deliver judgment. having referred to the pleadings in the case, he proceeded to give a history of the law of treason from the earliest times to the Revolution, and thence down to the Phcenix Conspiracy, in which he had himself prosecuted as Attorney-General, in 1859. He gave an exhaustive resume of the authorities upon the subject, and then, coming to the case before him, he examined the arguments of counsel for the convict on the points reserved. He said :-- On the whole the Gotta were constrained by their duty to give judgment for the Crown. They wore only to declare what the law is. If that law is to be altered it must be done by a higher tribunal. Ills lordship then proceeded to refer to the challenges (which had been overruled) by the prisoner to the array, and to the poll. The former was that the panel for the trial was taken by the Sheriff from tho jurors' book for the year 1865, and not from the jurors' book for 1866, the then current year. lie held that both challenges wero radically defective in point of form; but even were they not so, upon the construction of the law applicable to the matter he held that the panel returned at the beginning of the sittings of the Commission, Nov. 26, 1865, was the proper panel from which to select the jury fors trial taking place at an adjournment of the Commission.
