The third public meeting in support of the movement for obtaining a thorough and searching reform in the management and administration of all our public depart ments was held yesterday evening at Drury-lane Theatre, when the crowded ktate of thp building, and the earnest and enthusiastic demonstrations of the meeting indicated the rapid rate at which the question is gaining on public opinion. The chair was taken by Samuel,Morley, Eaq., asd uponthe platform we also observed Charles Dickens, Esq.; W. Scholefield, M.P.; F. Mowatt, M.P.; Apsley Pellatt, M.P.; A. J. Otway, M.P.; J. P.

Inigo Jones, M. J. Higgins, Travers Buxton, B. L. Smith, Dr. Bell, Dr. Price, Rev. D. Massie, W. A. Bethune, A. Craig Gibson, T. Falvey, of Southampton, &c., The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said— Ladies and gentlemen, I am anxious not to occupy more thair a very few minutes of your time—firot, because an opportunity was afforded to me on the last occasion of expressing my deep convictions on this subject ; and, secondly, because there are other gentlemen entitled to address you who will occupy every minute of our allotted time. (Hear, hear.) I am anxio - Pie — Teliiie I say a word or two on the general question, to make a remark on some matters of a purely personal nature. It will be seen that some statements which were made at the former meeting have been seriously and hotly con troverted by more than one member of Parliament. I am anxious to do justice to myself with respect to these • statements without doing injustice to Mr. Lindsay, who you may depend upon it will set himself right in the pro per place—viz., the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Mr. Lindsay feels as we all feel that as his statements have been controverted in the House of Commons, it is in the House of Commons they must be met, and I merely mention it here, because the charge forms part of a gene ral accusation against the accuracy of our statements.. Now, we assert of ourselves that we are men who are incapable of making a false stateinent, if we know it. (Cheers.) We are quite sure that a bad cause cannot be permanently bolstered up by false statements, and we feel that a good cause, such as ours, requires no such support. (Hear, hear.) The term " leaders" has been applied to certain gentlemen connected with this association, but as far as it refers to any one connected with this association, the epithet is a misnomer. We are merely a committee associated for the furtherance of a cause in which we all take a deep interest, and in no case looking to leadership for A, B, or C, or any other person whatever. (Hear, hear.) Something has been said respecting our having packed this building by . means of tickets. The fact is that we meet here because we could find no other place large enough to hold us, and so great has been the desire of the public to hear what we have to say, and to give force and momentum by their attendance to our object, that of getting rid of existing abominations in the public offices, that we found it ne cessary to issue tickets in order to insure comfort and regularity for those who attended. (Hear.) We know the name of every one present, and I am prepared to say that never was there a more authentic representation of thinking men—and I am glad to say of ladies also—as sembled on any occasion, or in furtherance of any public object, than that by which I see myself surrounded on the present occasion. (Cheers.) A goof deal has also been said about the publication of the names of certain members of Parliament in connection with our last meet ing. I was much startled to see the letters in the Times on the subject ; and on inquiry from the secretary I found that tickets were sent to every member of Par- : liainent, and as they were marked "not transferable," d as all came in, the secretary concluded that the in vited parties had come. Seeing that Col. Freestun's— who has made so much of this circumstance—card had come in, it was not wonderful that the secretary should imagine that he and some of the other colonels might be skulking about the boxes. (Cheers.) All that can be • said is, that they were put down because their tickets came in. (Hear.) If I were asked why I am here to night I should say that it is because I love my country, and because I tremble at the probability of ill recur rence of such a year as that which has just passed away. (Hear.) I feel that as Englishmen we have received a great affront at the hands of those on whom we conferred great responsibility and power ; but I am told by some that we should not disturb the question until the war is over. My conviction is that if we don't get a change in the state of affairs the war will never be over—(cheers) — and that our countrymen will continue to be murdered in thousands through the sheer, absolute neglect and incapa city of the men who have utterly failed us in the hour of our need. (Loud cheering.) Further, I believe that no thing short of the most unmistakeable manifestation of public opinion, or perhaps absolute revolution, will alter the state of things of which we all complain. (Hear, hear.) I am a firm believer in the doctrine that there are limits to the endurance of a people ; and no doubt revolutions have done wonders at times ; but we Eng lishmen know how to manage these things without revo lutions. We shall convey so unmistakeable an opinion to Lord Palmerston, who now only knows public opinion through the House of Commons, that if he does not con cede our just demands, his plaee and power will not be worth a month's purchase. Let but such an idea get into his lordship's mind, depend upon it we shall get our own terms. There' has been a debate in the House of Commons on the motion of Mr.Layard ; on the first night of which time Government mustered up courage to threaten resignation, but on the next Lord Palmerston, with won derful dexterity, which has been the theme of admiration in all official circles ever since, adopted the amendment of Sir B. Lytton, and at half-past one in the morning that amendment was carried. almost without a remark. I must confess that the result of that discussion gave me an im pression of the insincerity of Government, and con vinced me that if we for a moment relax our efforts we shall get little substantial in the way of administrative reform. (Hear.) Let it be understood that I am not making an attack on the mere subordinates, the clerks in the public offices. No doubt there is abundance of evidence on this score, respecting gentlemen who go to office leading bull dogs in a string. (Cheers and laughter.) We hear a great deal of conversation about the state of education among the working classes ; these facts show what is the state of education among those who have no thing to do. (Cheers.) The fact is that these young men sometimes come to office so miserably deficient that the head of the office is frequently obliged to give them a month's leave to learn to write. (Laughter.) The prin ciple upon which these appointments are made is as bad as can be. What we want is a true sense of responsibility in official people. Any one who has read the report of the Sebastopol Committee must feel that the great ob ject with every witness was as much as possible to shirk responsibility. (Hear, hear.) Nobody would admit that everything had been his fault, and what we want to do i 3 to get every one into a position in which he shall be responsible. (Hear.) I should like to see business ma naged as it is in our large commercial towns, where transactions are carried on quite as large as those with which Government have to deal, but where you will find that the head of each department is not a man who has been placed there because he had an influential brother or cousin, or some private friend, but because he had served the firm faithfully through a long series of years, had gone creditably through every grade, and bad made himself thoroughly acquainted, not only with the prin ciples, but with all the details of the department at the head of which he was placed. (Hear.) Such a man is held responsible for everything that takes place in his de partment, and if all the appointments are not made at his direct recommendation, no one would be allowed to hold a situation a moment under his displeasure. Now, I hold that it is a system like this that we ought to have established in the Government departments. We not only want men who have proved themselves compe tent in the three " R.s" as they are popularly called, but who have proved themselves generally capable, and of whom, we have a conviction that they will faithfully per form their duty. We want to hold out to the faithful servants who have honestly done the public work for years that they shall not be overtopped in the race for promotion by successful lawyers or soldiers, who now build their success upon making glib speeches in Puha. ment. There are thousands of able men in the various public departments who now have no chance, and who look with beating hearts to the progress of this move ment, and to them we look as fellow-labourers in the prosecution of the good work. Our object in short is to put an end to all promotion by favour. We propose to as certain the state of the army, navy, diplomatic, and civil service, by careful p revious investigation, and by the ensuing session of Parliament we hope to be prepared to place before the house such a case as we trust will lead to a reform in these various branches, and then it will only remain for the constituencies of the country to do their duty. (Hear.) I was lately favoured with one of those curiosities of literature, a letter to a member of Parliament, to one of his constituents,in which the latter stated his wish to get a place in the Customs for his son, adding that his family bad polled five votes for the mem ber at the last election, and that arrangements were being made to secure seven or eight, if this little matter only could be settled. (Cheers and laughter.) I am prepared to express great sympathy with this anxious father, who takes such care of his progeny, but at the same time I feel that such practices are degrading to electors, are em barraiising to members, and I believe are confessedly a nuisance to Government. (Hear.) We want to close all these back doors, and to open abroad and wide gatein the front at which all who have the proper requisites may come in without favour or affection. We want to have the public service of England open to the whole world of England, and that no one who aspires to it should fail solely be cause he has not powerful aristocratic connexions to back his pretensions. (Hear.) Then we want to get a new class of men in the douse of Commons, for depend upon it, until you get men there who do not care about being Slack-balled by the clubs, and who are indifferent about admittance into West-end drawing-rooms, we shall never get what we want from th/i Legislature. (Hear.) Let us have, say; a hundred such-men and then we may have some hope of effecti ng beneficial alterations. (Cheers.) -Look at the list of members at the prtient •Moment: First,,there are the placemen, of course anxi ous to sunport the presentteeitne ; then the naval and military officers, a t leo' Willind:to Y e t thi n gs remain as they are ; and then thei lawyers,Whii—without meaning any disrespect, to such as may .be p?esent—l may say know. well the•value of a little snbserviency, and how a slash. ing speech in favour of a,. Government often leads to re corderships, or perhaps the post 'of Attorney-General. Add to •these 220 sous and brothers'-of peers, and the marvel is that matters are not worse than oven they are at present. We mean to hhve all this altbred. We cannot hope to do it through:theagency of the e boroughs where the family interests prevail, but we shall appeal to the large . chnstituencies, and if they do not send the proper men to Parliament there will be no use seeking for ad ministrative reforin. 4 'We therefore pet4ievere in the hope that the constituencies will be found faithful in the day of trial. (Laud cheers.) Mr. C. Droings next presented himself to the meet ' ing, and was received with loud and protracted cheering. He said he could not better express his sense of the kind reception thht tad been awarded 'to hith by that great assemblage, than by promising to compress what he should address to it within the closest possible limits. It was 'more than eighteen hundred years since therq was a set of men who thought that they should be he4r4 for much speaking: As they had Tprqfittid by. the privilege very much since that time, and, .as lie observed, they flourished at the present moment to a surprising extent about Vestminster, he would do his .best to avoid adding to the number of that prolific race. The noble lord at the head of the Government, when he wondered in Parliament, about a week ago, that Mr. Layard did not blush for having stated in that place what the whole .country knew perfectly well to be true—(cheers)—and what no one could by possi bility better know to be true than those distinguished supporters of the noble lord who had the advantage of hearing him and cheering him night after night when he first became premier, namely, that he did constantly joke at es time when this country was plunged in deep dis tress and disgrace—when the noble lord wondered so much that the man of this age who had, by his earnest and adventurous spint, done the most to distinguish himself and it, did not blush for the tremendous auda city of having so come " between the wind and his nobility," his lordship finished c%ith an airy period about the private theatricals at Drury-lane Theatre. He (Mr. Dickens) had some slight acquaintance with theatricals, both private and public, and be would accept the figure of the noble . lord. He would not, spy that if he wanted to form a company of her Majesty's servants, he thought he should know where to lay hi s h an d on the " comic old gentleman"—(loud laughter)—. or that if he wanted to get up a pantomime efficiently, he should know to what establishment to go for tricks ,and changes, as also for a c D nsid era bl e troop of superaumeraries, to trip up another in that con tention with which many of them were familiar, on those and other boards, and in which the principal mat ters thrown about were loaves and fishes—(loud laughter) —but he would endeavour to give the noble lord some reasons for these private theatricals, and why, however ardently his lordship might desire to " ring the curtain down," there was not the faintest chance of these per formances coming to a conclusion. (Cheerg.) The rea ... son was that the public theatricals which the noble lord was so condescending as to manage, were so intolerably bad, the machinery was so cumbrous, the parts so ill distributed, the company so full of " walking gentle men," the manager had such a large family and was so bent on putting that family into what was theatrically called " first business," not because of their aptitude, but because they were his family; it was for these rea sons that they felt obliged to organise an opposi tion. (Hear, hear.) They had seen the " Comedy of Errors" played so dismally like a tragedy that they really cou'd not bear it, and therefore had felt themselves obliged, in their own defence, to get uo "The School of Reform"--r-hoping before the play was over to improve the noble lord considerably. If he objected that they had no right to improve him without his license, they ventured to claim that right in virtue of his lordship's orchestra, consisting of a vary powerful piper, whom they always paid. (Laughter.) A s thi s was the first political meeting at which he (Kr. Dickens) had at tended, and as kis trade and calling was not associated with politics, perhaps it might be useful in him to show how he came to be there, since the reasons that had in fluenced him might be still. balancing in the minds of other men. He wanted at all times and places sincerely to do his duty by his countrymen. If he felt an attach went towards then], there was nolung disinterested or rnerit.vious in that, fur never could he sufficiently ac knowledge the confidonce and friendship which they had long placed in him. (Loud cheers.) But he had a sphere of action which he could never change, nor overstep fur ther, nor for a longer period than that night; fur whoever devoted themselves to literature must be con- tent to do the public service by literature, for he could not effectually serve two master& Within his sphere of action, he had, however, endeavoured to understand our • social grievances, and to help to set them right. When the Times proved its then almost incredible case, in re ference to the costly absurdities of that great labyrinth of misplaced men and misplaced things which had made England unable to find on the face of the earth an enemy one-twentieth part so potent for misery and ruin as in some things she had been to herself, he believed that the gloomy silence into which the country fell was by far the darkest aspect in which a great people had been exhibited for many years, with shame and indignation lowering amongst all classes of society, with little adequate expe rience i,f the general mind, or apparent understanding of it in Parliament, with the machinery of government and legislation going round and round, and the people falling from it, and standing aloof as if they left it to its last re maining function of destroying itself, when it had se cured the destruction of 83 much that was dear to them. When he said this he did believe, and he believed still, that the only wholesome turn a state of affairs so mourn- ful could possibly take was in the wakening up of the people, the outspeaking of the people, the writing of the people in patriotism and loyalty to effect those constitu tional changes which were necessary in the administra tion of their own affairs. (Cheers.) At such a crisis the Administrative Reform Association arose, and at such a crisis he (Mr. Dickens) joined it. He bad heard three main objections advanced by the opponents of the move ment. The first was that the association proposed to exert its influence thrcugh the constituencies over the House of Commons. (Hear.) He admitted that it was so. He had no hesitation in saying that he had not the small est possible amount of faith in the House of Commons as it at present existed ; and he considered, therefore, that the exercise of such influence was highly necessary for the welfare and honour of the empire. (Hear, hear.) Two hundred years ago, Pepys, writing of the political abuses then prevailing in the House of Commons, said, " Roger Pepys tells me that it is matter of the greatest grief to him in the world that he should have been put on this trust of being a Parliament man, because he says nothing is done, that he can see, out of any truth or sin cerity, but all out of mere envy and design." Now, how it came to pass that after 200 years—and especially so many years after the passing of the Reform Bill—tlae House of Commons had so little changed, he would not stop to inquire. He would not ask how it happened that bills that cramped and worried the people, and re stricted their enjoyments—(loud cries of "Hear, bear") —passed so easily, and that measures conducive to their interests were so very difficult to get through Parliament. (Cheers) He would not attempt to analyse the confined air of the lobby, and reduce to their_pritnitive gases that deadening influence which there operated upon the me mory of the hon. gentleman who was so short time ago a candidate for "our vote and interest," or ask who was that secratorial figure ever flitting about them, and whose blandishments were always so irresistible ; or how it always happened that those personal altercations, which involved all the movements and modifications of Shakepere's Touchstone—" the quip modest, the retort courteous, the reply churlish, the repro o f valiant, the countercheck quarrelsome, the lie circumstantial, and the lie direct." (Laughter.) He would not stop to ask how it was that such altercations always commanded immea surably greater interest in the House of Commons than matters involving the health, the education, and the taxa tion of the whole peeple. He would not attempt to pene trate the mysteries of that secret chamber in which the political Blnebeard strangled public questions, strictly charging his last bride not to open the door, lest she should too soon discover what would be her own probable fate. He would not inquire into any of these matters, but would merely put it to the practical experience, recent and remote, of every one present whether the House of Com mons was not occasionally a little hard of hearing, a little dim of sight, and somewhat slow of understanding; in short, that sufficientlyinvalided condition that required very close watching, and occasionally, at least, the application of the sharp stimulant of popular agitation. (Hear). He believed that, in order to preserve its real usefulness and independence, tne people must always show themselves watchful and jealous of it—to jog its memory, and keep it awake ; or when it happened to take too much of the ministerial narcotic, to shake it and move it a bout in a friendly way, for the purpose of restoring its functions to their healthy exercise. (Hear, hear.) Then it was ob jected that the tendency of this moment was to set class against class. But did it do so ° On the contrary, its tendency was to bring classes together, and to unite them in harmonious action for the common interest. He wished especially to avoid placing in opposition the two words, aristocracy and people. He could well be lieve that each bad its peculiar virtues, and perhaps its peculiar vices ; but he would elevate or depress neither at the cost of a single vested right of either. (Hear.) Instead of the terms aristocracy and people, he would use the terms the governors and the governed—but between these two bodies the association found a gulf in 11 which lay buried thousands upon thousands of the bravest and most devoted men that even England ever li . ad. (Hear.) It Ras to prevent the recurrence of in numerable similar evils of which that great calamity _to • which he now alluded was the crowning evil and the consummation, and to bring together those two classes that the association would seek to bridge over the in tervening gulf by a structure founded in justice and com mon sense. (Hear.) Setting class against class was the ' old cry which had always been advanced against every attempt no reform abuses. He might illustrate it in the present instance by the case of a gentleman who found his house'in a state of complete disorder—his serrants inactive to his interests and his wants, giving him stones when he asked for bread, serpents when lie called fish —sending dinners to the north when be ordered them to be sent to the south, and by their wastefulness, inattention, and negligence, making his , house a scene of scandal and of ruin g -and whose Iniuse steward, when told that all these things Amust be reformed=-- that the master would have his interests consulted,- his wants attended to, and that he would keep no ser vants who did not perform their duties—held up his hands in pious horror, rushed down to the servants' hall and exclaimed, "Oh. our master is setting class against class." (Cheers and laughter.) Then with regard to the third objection, " that these administrative reform fellows did not mind their own busbies;" it was because they (lid mind their own business that they were 'an as sociation at all. (CheerS.) He observed by the parlia= mentary debates—and there was this difference sug gested by those debates between the bulls of Spain and bulls of Nineveh-:. (a laugh)—that whereas in tue Spa nish case the bulls rushed at the scarlet, in the Nineveh case the scarlet rushed at the bull—(laughter)—he ob served in the parliamentary debates that by a curious analogy there had been very much of the reproof valiant and the check quarrelsome lately, shOwing conclusively, iv his mind,-thef necessity of iidininistrative reform, by whomsoever and howsoever it might be applied. (Hear, hear.) He. could add two or three instances at the 'least which he knew to be true, liut which, he bad no doubt, would be nevertheless contradioted = bnt that it would be a work of supererogation to do so ; for if the people et large were not convinced by what had taken place that a case was made out for a d m i n i s t rat i v e 're form, they never could be, and never would be con-, vinced. (Hear, hear.) There was, however, one ruling, indisputable, and well-known story which so well pointed the moral to the end which the association had in view, that at the risk of incurring the wrath of St. Stephen's he would mention it. Ages ago a mode of keeping accounts in the Exchequer by means of notched sticks was introduced. In the course of time the celebrated Cocker'vras born and died, then Walk inghame, the author of the " Tutor's Assistant," and a multitude of accountants, actuaries, and mathema ticians, who discovered and published means of ac count-keeping by ordinary arithmetic, far more ready, and which, in their every-day transactions everybody used—but official routine looked upon these notched sticks tb9 part of the constitution, and the Exche quer account still continued to be kept by these willow tallies. (A laugh.) But towards the latter end of the reign of George 111. it occurred to some innovating and revolutionary spirit to suggest the abolition of this bar barous custom, and immediately all the red tape in all the public departments turned redder at the idea of so j bold a conception, and it was not until the year 1826 that the custom of keeping these Exchequer accounts by willow tallies ceased. In 1834 it was found that a large accumulation of these tallies had grown up in course of time, and the question arose what was to be done with these old worm-eaten useless bits of wood ? They were housed at Westminster. Common sense would have sug aested that they should have been given to some of the poor miserable people who abounded in that neighbour hood for firewood ; but official routine could not endure that, and, accordingly, an order was given that they should be burned privately. They were burned in a stove in the House of Lords, but the stove being overgorged and overheated with them, set fire to the pinnelling of the room, the pannelling set fire to the House of Lords, the House of Lords set fire to the House of Commons; and the two houses were reduced to ashes. Architects and builders were called in to erect new structures, and, al though, we were now in course of expending our second million of money on the work, the national pig was not yet over the stylp i and the little old woman,. Britannia, was not home to-night. (Cheers and laughter.) He thought they might reasonably come to the conclusion that it was through the obstinate adherence to the anti . quated rubbish, that time had outlived and rendered useless, and which, if given to th e wi n ds would h a ve been harmless, that the destruction of the Houses of Parliament was to be attribute'', and in the same way, if this antiquated and useless routine in the administra- tion of the public departments were retained, the result would be a conflasmation somewhere or other. The broad ground upon which the cause of the association rested was public progress, and that in the public, as in all private establishments, merit, without reference to whether it was democratic or aristocratic, should be the sole qualification for office. This object they sought to promote, not by separating classes, but by unit int, together large numbers of all conditions of men, to the end that they might themselves comprehend, and, comprehending, impress upon others the common danger and the oommon duty, and by keeping a vigilant eye upon the skirniishers thrown out by the generals of party to harass and confuse, take care that they did not, in attacking the smaller defaulter, 100 sight of the greater. He wished the directors could devise some means of permitting intelligent working men to join the Association on easier terms than subscribers of larger resources. He was anxious to see a larger number of that body connected with the movement, believing that it would conduce to the common object, and the common weal. (Hear, hear.) When Lord Palmerston was asked for a day for Mr. Layard's motion, his reply was, " let him find a day for himself." (Hear, and shame.) I' the name of all the gods at once, Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, That he hath grown so great. If our chairman (continued Mr. Dickens) will excuse me, I would take the liberty of reversing the sentiment, and I would say to the First Lord of the Trea.ui y, " It is your duty, my lord, to leave no man to find a day for himself. You, who take upon yourself the responsibi. lity of governnient—you have aspired to it—who strug gled for it—who intrigued for it— and who, having got it, hold it tooth and nail ; yours is the duty to take care that no man is left to find a day for himself in this country, with its seethings, its disappointments, its hard working millions, its heavy taxes, its poverty, and its sufferings. Woe to the day when a man shall have to find a day for himself because the head of the govern ment has failed in his duty of finding for him a brighter and a better one. Find you the day, First Lord ; make the day ; work for the day beyond your own little time, my Lord Palmerston, and history may then, but not otherwise, find a day for you—a day equally associated with the contentment of the loyal, patient, willing-hearted English people, and the happiness of your royal mis• tress and her fair line of children." (Cheers.) Mr. T. M'CuLLAOII, after paying a'high compliment to Mr. Dickens's speech, observed that monopoly was growing old, its limbs were tottering, but its clutch was as firm as ever. Something, in its voice, however, told him that it felt its own weakness, and that it was con scious of its approaching end. Those who defended Monopoly declared that they themselves were becoming administrative reformers. He wished he could believe that statement, but he was compelled to doubt it. (Cheers.) The efforts of the administrative reformers were directed not against the poor clerks, but against the heads of the departments, and the civil staff of the chiefs, which they thought required reforming. One minister was called leader of the Lords, and another leader of the Commons, but he should be glad to know how in the Parliament of I 1855 they had proved themselves fit for that office ? Let ' them look at the newspaper history of the last five months in Parliament. Every one agreed as to the importance of the educational question, however they might differ as to the details, and they would feel that when Government brought forward a measure on the subject it should not be trifled with, and yet they all knew how it had been treated. The Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill had also been abandoned, and no one knew what they intended to do with the law of partnership. The bills on that subject had been prepared by the authorities of the Board of Trade, and afforded in themselves a pal pable proof of the unfitness of those authorities for their office. The head of the Board of Trade was a peer of the realm, and the vice-president a son of Lord Radnor —both very honourable men in their way, but hardly to be considered as the proper men to preside over the trade and commerce of a great country. (Hear.) The bill they had prepared was a miserable mockery of legis lation, and afforded a practical illustration of the absur dity of placing men in a certain position, merely because they belonged to the privileged orders. (Hear,) The truth was, that so long as they had men to represent them who trifled with their legislative duties, they would have a Government that did not govern. Lord Palmer ston, who bad served 40 years in the House of Commons, knew well how to bring a majority, so that without they succeeded in modifying the Legislature, there would be little chance of modifying the departments. He had been asked would he put mere traders into offices of high trust—would he give them to the men who had brought the products of all climes to their shores, and take them from those who trafficked in the taxes of the country, and traded in the privileges of the people ? (Cheers.) Having read a quotation from Lord Gren- ville's correspondence, to show how the Whigs of that day treated patronage, Mr. M'Cullagh proceeded to say —lt was urged that they should not disturb domes tic questions until the question of the war had been settled. But that was no excuse for men who had introduced measures since the commencement of the war, and now abandoned them, nobody could tell why, (Hear, hear.) Had the foreign policy of the country been properly conducted, he for one would have given the ministers plenary absolution for all their sins of minor degree, but he would ask, in the words of Lord Lyndhurst, whether the course of our foreign policy for the last two years and a half bad not been to follow a phantom ship, which led us into quick sands and shadows, and finally vanished from our sight. We had delayed our proceedings, waiting for the co operation of the despotic powers. (Question, question.) It was the question. When the people remonstrated at the delay, they were told that the administration was conducted by persons of experience and skill, and that everything might be safely left in the hands of the Go vernment. (Hear.) Ml... Gladstone had almost boasted J ~~~~~~ PRIG T, SD. ; I of the exclusive character of that Government, and h a d Idwelt on its consumm a t e a b ility ; b ut if th e mee ti n g would follow him in believing its solvency, he thought be could prove them bankrupt in.adininistrative ability. The speaker here detailed the earlier events connected with the war, showing how its evils had been enhanced by the incapacity of the Government, and contended that we had a right to complain, above all, because such con duct had the effect of exposing a free country to the charge of beini.; unable, to grapple with one great des potic power without calling in at the same time the aid aid' co-bpeiation of 'another. (Hear, hear.) But "when Lord Palmerston was asked why he made up his ministry of such exclusive materials,' he said he had se l ected his men because they were the best he could find. If those men were the best,; in heaven's name, what prospect had - the country for the future? (Hear.) There could be hardly a greater incentive than such a declaration to make some provision for a new race of statesmen. He had.been a member of another association that succeeded —he meant that for the liberation of foreign commerce ; and he perfectly remembered the first 'meeting held at Manchester in a room not one-fourth the size of that theatre, and how the originators of the movement ex ulted in such a sign of success as the room being full. In the course of a conversation which took place at that tone between the late Lord Melbourne and another he was asked by rme whom he would be unlikely to deceive, what would be the great harm if the movement should succeed ? His answer was, "The moment you crry a total repeal of the corn laws, you take the Queen's crown from her head." (A. laugh.) The corn laws had been repealed, and the Crown was more firmly Fist on the head of the sovereign than ever. (Loud cheers.) Some years before Lord Liverpool declared that if the dissenters' chains were knocked off and the catholic liberated, the church would be in danger ; but religious liberty had since been granted, and the steeples still • stood tolerably firm. • (Hear.) So it would be with the present movement ; at first it would he called democratic and -mischievous but ultimately-it watild•succeed; and itssinc - cess would be lound-perfect:y - cOmpatible with the integrity of the constitution. When bad "men conspired, good men were bound to unite. They shot Id not only strike when the iron was hot, but strike it until it be came hot, and he thought there was something in the temperature of the place that might be taken assn omen that that time was not far distant when that consumma tion might be expected. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BENNOCH next addressed the meeting, and ex pressed the pleasure he felt at the sympathy which had been shown on behalf of the association, not only in every part of England, but in Canada and the United States—where the public newspapers bad devoted pages to the reports of the meetings of the Administrative Reform Association, and columns to editorial comments upon them. There was only one spot, he believed, in the United Kingdom, where the principles of the asso- ciation were not welcome, and that was in St. Stephens. It was not true that the association was endeavouring to set class against class ; on the contrary, they sought to unite all classes in destroying improper patronage in Government appointments, aboli,hing family influence in the government of the country, and eradicating, that prejudice in the minds of men in power which led them to suppose that certain names wore necessary as a qua lification to govern the country. Tn Virginia they had a sort of zigzag fence, which when the pigs, a pecu liarly long-legged and agile race, sought to leap, it caught them in the angles, so that they always remained nn the same side. So it was with the Whi.s—one Government might be ousted and another take its place—but the - zig-zag fence of prejudice and family influence always kept the same old and coo- stitutional Whig familier in power as had governed the country any time these 50 years. The object of this movement was to destroy that system, and to take care that instead of the cards being merely shuffled there should be an entire new pack. Those sticklers for things as they were blamed the administrative reformers for agitating the country, but agitation was as necessary in the political as it was in the physical atmosphere. Reli gious liberty, emancipation, political rights, and free trade, were all due to agitation, and by God's blessing agitation should yet give them men in power who would nut jest at the sufferings of the people. It had been said that this movement wanted the influential names which hai lent their influence to, and conducted to success, other great political movements. But men who agitated for any one great political object rarely entered into a second,political agitation. The great agitators for re form m Parliament were not the movers in the poor-law repeal agitation ; nor were those who were the great movers in favour of Catholic emancipation the chief agi tors for slave emancipation. But to refer to practical matter?. He would take in the first instance that sink of iniquity, as it was formerly, the Ordnance. Under the old re,gime that department was managed by old soldiers, who knew nothing about mechnical construction or scientific power. to these every man who made any improvement in artillery or the weapons of war was re ferred, and the consequence of their ignorance and wig management wait that many-a reran who had perfected a valuable invention and submitted it to the Ordnance de- partwent was disgusted with the neglect with which he was treated, and that when the war broke out our muni- tions of war were in the same state as at the close of the war in 1815. Public discussion had already done some thing towards reforming the Ordnance branch of the pub lic service, and when Lord Hardinge came into power, to his credit be it said, he caused a oomplete examination tt) be made into the condition of the Artillery, and find ing how defective it was he with some difficulty per suaded the Government to adopt his advice, and thus to a certain extent placed our army in a position to cope with Russia. Our enemy had taken a very different course from that we had adopted. She had availed her self of every improvement, and no sooner was a valuable _ . invention brought forward here than she imported it into her service, and invited the inventor to her service. To this was owing the fact that our army found their artillery unequal to cope either in weight of metal or range with that of the enemy when the siege of Sebas topol first commenced. After referring, as profs of the incapacity of the governing departments, to the suffer in 4 0 of the army in the Crimea, from want of provisions, ambulances, hospital accommodation and roads, and the advantage of civil interference to right the errors mili tary and official routine had caused, he spoke of the towns where he said there were stores of all kinds, but there did not appear to be anything like what we found in every private business - establishment—a a regular periodical stock-taking. It appeared that it was a practice of this department to send off bales marked with their own mysterious hieroglyphics, but not numbered, and the consequence was that the persons to whom they were sent might find mop-heads where they sought sheets, serge gowns where they re quired rugs, and for trousers they were sometimes obliged to put up with washing-tubs. (A. laugh.) These were errors in matters of detail, which, if committed in a merchant's office would cause the offending parties to b e dismissed immediately. (Question, question.) He was quite in the hands of the meeting, but he thought a knowledge of a few of those blunders importaut. They all knew that a consolidation of the Ordnance had lately been attempted, in carrying out which the Government had cancelled the patents of all the officers, but not baying taken proper precautions for their renewal, there was not at the present moment a single man at the Ordnance who could legally fill a 'contract. (Hear.) They must not, however, think that all the departments were equally bad, at lea,t he for one bad made up his mind to believe nothing without careful examination. Of the necessity of this he would give them an in stance. A. gentleman wrote to him from Glasgow, stating that a regiment had been ordered from thence to the Crimea. The vessel which was to to take them was in the harbour, but the troops were ordered to march to Liverpool, while the vessel sailed round to meet them. That no doubt appeared strange and absurd enough, but he bad made inquiries and 104 discovered that it was necessary for the public peace that some troops should march to Preston, and the regiment in question being the only one available was sent there, and remained for two weeks previous to embarkation. Again, having made inquiries about the public offices, he found that in some of them a system of examination was adopted after nomination. In one of them the head examined every new candidate, and the latter if found incompetent was rejected. In that office, with 180 clerks, where the letters were 1,000 a day and the postage enormous, the organi sation was so complete that any return asked for could be obtained in 48 hours. (" Time.") The CIIAIRISIAN appealed to the meeting to give Mr. Ben noch a fair hearing. Mr. BENNOCEI proceeded, amid some interruption, to review the public conduct of 1.-3irJ.Graham, whose name was received with a storm of hisses, and contended that a predilection for secresy in anything rendered the right hon. baronet a dangerous public servant. Secresy had, in fact, been the curse of England for the last five years. (The cries of " Layard" here becauie so loud and continuous that Mr. Bennoch resumed his seat.) Mr. LAYARD came forward, and received a most en thusiastic reception. He observed that at the last meet ing the chairman laid down a most excellent rule, which was that no man should address the meeting whose name had not been previously announoed. He quite concurred in the propriety of that arrangement, and in obedience to the general call of the meeting he should say a few words. (Hear.) He was also rejoiced to find that on that evening they bad limited the speakers to gentlemen not connected with Parliament, because ho thought it right that Parliament should know the feeling, as they were too apt to think that all the wisdom of the country was confined within their own four walls. (Hear, hear.) When be had last the honour of addressing them from that platform, he ventured to make a few remarks as to the manner in which Lord Palmer ston treated great public questions, questions upon which there was great public anxiety and public grief. (Hear. ; Lord Palmerston, as they were aware, had since alluded to that statement, and bad expressed his astonishment that he (Mr. Layard) did not blush when making it, and at the same time, as if to confirm its truth, went of into a comic description of what he called their private thea tricals, amid shouts of laughter. Lord Palmerston called their proceedings theatrical, but he thought the image injudicious. If he knew anything of theatricals, the r PE . ) -'' ' 7. ::-.• SaiOrS munled ecm4 purl 7 - ' which arm forciplo *tit . .

He would endeavour to explain the reason. In the first place, to his astonishment, he saw on the evening of debate, a sort of vising amongst all parties as to who should have the initiative in Administrative Reform—their being scarce'y a leader who did not claim it as his own. ' (A laugh.) Mr. Disraeli said he had invented the term, and he (Hr. Layard) • was for the moment led to believe that the House of Commons was that which waA ar dently desired by the people, and that instead of being at the head he was at the tail of the movement. He be tiered that a few members voted for Sir B. Lytt6n's amendment because they did not wish to be in a mi nority ; but there were others who said the motion might have been entertained by the people during our disasters, but now there were euccesses and they would not listen to it. Let the country be warned, and not allow itself to be led away by these temporary successes. The present war was a greet one, a war of principle and unless we carried it on on principle, a disgraceful andelangeraus failure would be inevitable. He entreated the •country and those who were assembled at that meeting to reflect that they were yet but at the begin nwiinthg _o h f o t u h u e u r w t a o r, t and m a t e h l v a t e e i f a t u h d e ya. due wished reg a t o r d g t e o t t o h u o t i o n f t e i t . req s of the country they must pursue the movement which had been commenced, and insist upon a complete change in our whole administrative system. (Hear.) He had been frequently asked what especial object the asso ciation had in view. They had gained one object already, and if any share he bad taken in the movement had led to that result he was satisfied, and would be content to leave the rest'of the work to better hands. A short time ago, immediately efter the battle of Inkerthan, :General Evans —a man whose name was illustrious, not more because of his great military talents than that he was the true friend of the soldier—in a report of the conduct of his division at that - battle, mentioned the name of a sergeant ; but when Lord Raglan's general despatch was forwarded to the Government, the 'ser geant's name was omitted. (Lord cries of shame.) Yes, it was a shame ; but the shame was not se witch with Lord Raglan as with the system which had hitherto excluded the natne of any man who distinguished himself in a battle unless h e was of a cer- tsin rank. In the recent attack on the Bth of June - on the enemy's outworks at SebaStopol, the administrative reformers found that they had at least obtained ew e afa •-' jeet for iihich they had been agitatin g ; -1 - „ s in the de- ' spatch giving the names of the officers who Sistingaieh al themselves, the name of a corporal—Corporal Quit, was mentioned. (Loud cheers) That alone was, he thought, an ample reward for the exertions which the administrative reformers had made, fe , r it, would act as an encouragement to the whole armya:fand•convinee them that the people at home were net. forgetful ef what they.were doing for their country abroad. (Cheers.) Again, according to military routine, no. honours for distinguished services could be conferred upah effictra under a certain rank. Let that - regula ion he abolished, and the association would receive the thanks of the.eiraly generally. He was glad to find teat the association was about to direct their attention to the army, the navy, and the civil service, each of which de partments required reform. Let theta not believe a word urged against the movement by those who were lute re,ted in keeping things as they were. According to the statements of those persons, we should be the most immaculate people in the world --there would be no fa vouritism in the army—no promotion from family or political influence—merit being the only standard. There might be mistakes here wet there, but the country well knew that such a stat e o f thi ngs did exist, and they were determined it should exist no longer. (Hear.) His friend Mr. Dickens, whose speech he had listened to with pleasure and admiration, bad said that lie had not been hitherto engaged in pol l ti ca l quest i ons. In that respect he diff ere d from him. True, his friend Mr. Dickens had tot been engaged in politics in the seise in which the term was gener dy understood. Bat he'had devoted his briliant literary talents to the sole object of teaching the governing classes what they owed to the governors. (dear.) He had endeavoured to unite all - easses together in the bands of common interest and common feeling, and his pea had never put to paper an immoral or an uu-English sentiment. (Chews.) A man who had done this had done great service to his country, and might be said to have been engaged in that which in the true and highest sense of the word might be termed politics. (Loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in concluding► the business of the meeting, stated that to enable the committee to carry out the scheme of the association to its full extent, and to engage, as they proposed to do, the services of emi nent cute to advocate the cause in various parts, addi tional funds would be necessary, anti he appealed to the meeting for aid in that direction. The meeting then separated. ACCOUNTS OF CORPORATION AND GRESHAM FUNDS, AND OF THE LONDON-BRIDGE ROUSE ESTATES. The following is the report of the auditors of the chamberlain's accounts : " That the account of receipts and/expenditure of the Corporation of the City of London, laid before us to audit, was the 10th account of Anthony Brown, Esq., and first acc,amt of Sir John Key, Bart., Chamber lains 01 the City of London, from the Ist of January tho-2144 of miownb er , 1853, both i nc l us i ve , which accounts we have carefully and thoroughly examined iu detail, and find that the balance of cash upon the preceding account was 32,3601. 17s. Bd. That the receipts of the year 1853 (including the sum of 50,0001. raised towards the formation of the New Metropolitan Cattle Market, and 9,8871. 10s., the pro duce of the sale of stock for providing lodging-houses for the labouring poor), were 286,1001. 13s. Bfd. That the expenditure in the said year, as appealed by the several vouchers laid before us by the cham berlain (including the sum of 18,4031. 14s. 4d. applied in the purchase of securities, and 10,3401 advanCed to the Billing-gate -market tolls' ac count), was 253,7961. 55. sid. ; leaving a balance of cash upon the account on the 31st December, 1853, of 64,665/. ss. 10Id. A brief statement of the several heeds of receipt and expenditure we thereto append. In the further prosecution of the examination referred to us, we find that certai n d e b ts, arrears of rents, dues, and interest on Government securities were due, and belonging to the mayor, and commonalty, aLd citizens, on the 31st December, 1853, and that they were at the same period answerable for debt, claims for interest, charges in respect of public improve. ments, pensions, police, &c. We have therefore directed a balance statement of such assets and liabilities to be also annexed hereto, by which it will be seen that there was at that period a cash balance in favour of the cor poration of 10,5361. ls. 111 d., after providing fer all claims and demands, without including the value the freehold and leasehold estates of the corporation. The Gresham account laid before us to audit was the second account of Sir J. Key, Bart., chamberlain being the produce and expenditure of the City's moiety of the estate held under the will of Sir Thomas Gresham, Knight, from the 10th October, 1853, to the 10th October, 1854 ; which we also examined, and find that the balance of cash due by the chamberlain, at the commencement of the account, was 6471. 18s. Bd.; that the receipts for the same period were 6,1511. 11s. ad.; that the expenditure for the same period was 5,6521, 13s. 9d.; leaving a balance of cash in the bands of the chamberlain, on the account ending 10th October 1854, of 1,1461. 16s. 2d. We further find that the City's moiety of the Gresham estate is in debt various sums, advanced by the ceiToration and others ; and that there are owing to the said estate, besides the balance in the bands of the chamberlain above-men tioned, certain arrears of rents, leaving a cash balance against the estate on the 10th of October, 1854, of 109,8691. 124. 7d., without taking into account the value of the Gresham estates and public buildings. . The account of the Bridge-house estates laid before us to audit was the account of David Gibbs and George Ledger, the Bridge -masters or wardens, from the tat January to the 31st December, 1853, which we have also carefully examined, and find that the balance of cash in hand on the 31st December, 1852, was 7181. 12s. 9d. That the rents of the said estate, and other receipts, of the year 1853, were 33,4481. 6s. 7d. That the disburse ments during the said year were (ins stling the sum of 27,0221. 4s. 11d. paid under the Acts 7th G eo . IV., c. 40, and 4th Will. IV., e. 118, in respect of rebuilding London-bridge, and repairing Blackfriar's-bridge) 33,5941. 10s. 3d. ' leaving a balance in hand on 31st D ecem b er 1853, 0f5701. 94. ld. In addition to the said balance of cash in hand, we found that there was due to the Re count on 31st December, 1853, 13,0441. ls. 114 d. ; also cash, stock, and securities standing to the cre dit o the Bridge-house estates, as under-mentioned :- 6,8001. 3s. 7d. Consols, and 11,1261. 10s. 2d. Reduced 3 per Cent. Annuities, standing in the name of the Accountant. General of the Court of Chancery ; 9001. Exchequer bills, in the hands of the said Accountant-General, upon which he had received interest remaining unap propriated amounting to 961. 19s. sd. ; also, 3101. 9s. 7d. Reduced 3 per Cents., standing in the name of the bridge-masters. The charges upon the Bridge-house estates at the same period consisted of certain termin able annuities payable to the Government, amount mg to 21,5501. per annum, in respect of re b uilding London-bridge ; also a d e bt of 77,000/. remaining of loan raised for the repairs of Blackfriar's-bridge. We ,have great pleasure in stating, in concluding this our report, that the gentlemen officially C onnected with the vicious accounts afforded us all th e i nformation and assistanoio we required respecting the same, and that we considerth• accounts to be carefully kept, and in a clear and satisfac tory manner. ~ W.
