" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of p r ofessional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and excesses it wilt be found valuable and useful."—Record.

The hundred and seventh anniversary meeting and dinner of this society took place yesterday even ing at the Crystal Palace, under the presidency of the Earl of Elgin. It was attended by nearly 400 persons, including Earl Granville, Mr. W. E wart, M.P. ; Mr. Cumming Bruce, M.P. ; Mr. M. H. Marsh, M.P. ; Sir T. Phillips (president of the council), Air. Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Wink worth, Mr. John Dillon, Mr. W. Hawes, Major Ross, Capt. Porter, Mr. Leslie, the Rev. Mr. Cazlett, &c. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to give the toast of the evening, namely," Success to the Society for the En couragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce." The noble earl commenced by observing that though when first invited to take the chair he felt great re luctance to do so, on account of his own unfitness for such a position, he could not on reflection refuse the invitation of a society which had done so much for the advancement, not only of the interests of this country, but of the civilisation of the world. British industry had, he said, of late, in a spirit of chivalry, flung down the gauntlet to the whole world, and invited competition on the arena in which she had hitherto been subjected to no competition. (Cheers.) This challenge had not been given hastily or unad visedly, but after due deliberation and discussion, and in the full conviction that the designs of Pro vidence were best promoted when each country did that which it was most fitted to do in the produc tion and exhibition of its main staples. (Cheers.) The prizes of success had been extended beyond all example. Let them look at the large districts rescued from barbarism by this country ; let them look at Australia. which had consumed a larger proportion per head of articles of luxury than any other nation on the earth, and extracted from a soil which formerly contributed nothing to the hap piness of mankind sufficient to pay for those luxu ries. Then, again, in North America the progress of Canada was hardly less surprising than the pro gress of Australia. Between the years 1849 and 1855 the revenue of that country had more than quadrupled itself. In his opinion that was in a great degree attributable to the fact that they had given to their dependencies the powers of self government, put trust in their loyalty, and ab stained from meddling with their affairs. Then, again, let them observe Japan with its 40,000,000, and China with its 400,000,000 of people, brought into commercial intercourse with England. Looking at the interests of commerce and civilisation, he thought the quality of population was more import ant than the quantity, and no population was more industrious or commercially disposed than that of China and Japan. He wished, however, to guard against an error which sometimes arose from these statements. It was said, " Why not l©t trade take its own course—why frame commercial treaties with other nations ?" The reason was that Oriental na tions entertained a jealousy of foreign interference which was incomprehensible to the mind of Western populations, and that that jealousy could be ex cited in a moment; so that it was impossible to carry on trade with them unless a previous under standing was come to with the Government. At the same time it was above all things necessary for us to avoid stirring up that jealousy by violence. (Hear.) Well, then, what was the Society of Arts doing to promote international commercial inter course ? It had given the greatest assistance in in augurating those periodical exhibitions, the first of which was so magnificently successful in 1851. (Hear.) One essential condition of success in a new market was the ascertaining the actual wants of the people ; and it was important that the manufacturers of this country should have their attention drawn to the fact that a large trade in cotton fabrics might be done with China. At present he believed British manufactures were not equal to Chinese articles, but inasmuch as the latter were the manu factures of a class of people who set no value on their time, it was to be hoped that when we were enabled to render their time more valuable in the manufacture of articles for us, they would find it more profitable to take British manufactures of cotton in return. There could be no doubt that the operation of the Society of Arts was most valuable in improving our manufactures generally, and at the same time elevating the tastes of the people, and he could not speak too highly of the efforts made by Earl Granville in connection with that association. (Cheers.) The noble earl concluded by calling on Sir Thomas Phillips, as a member of the council, to respond to the toast. Sir T. PHILLIPS, in responding, adverted to an expressior. used by Earl. Granville, on a former occasion, to the effect that the Society of Arts was an aggressive association, observing that, if it were not in a certain sense aggressive, it would in reality , be useless. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by pro posing the health of her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, connecting with the toast the name of Earl Granville. _ Earl GRANTILLE, in responding, said he . was sure he spoke the sentiments of his fellow-commissioners when he said they felt great gratitude for the con fidence of the society manifested in them. They had not accepted their present office without great deliberation. Perhaps it might be thought that valuable time was wasted in consequence of th e i r hesitation ; but a hasty decision might have imperil led the ultimate success of the undertaking. (Hear.) There could be no doubt that the last exhibition was attended with the most valuable results ; but to make these exhibitions what they ought really to be, and in the words of the illust r i ous P r i nce w h o suggested the Exhibition of 1851, an exponent and indication of the progress of the world in civilisa tion, it was necessary from time to time to renew them. (Hear.) If they had rested on their oars the great Exhibition of 1851 would have been a great success in itself, but nothing mor e . It wou ld merely have indicated the actual condition of the world at that period with respect to arts and manu factures. He might also observe that if England had not determined to hold a great exhibition this year the Emperor of the French would have had one; but when his Majesty heard the decision which had been come to he at once relinquished his design. (Cheers.) It had been suggested that the proposed exhibition should not be of such an extensive cha racter as the last. It was, however, felt by the promoters, that if there was to be an exhibition at all, they should try to make it a brilliant success— (cheers)—and, indeed, he thought they were bound to do so, in justice to those who had guaranteed the funds. (Hear.) He had not gone through the re cent census returns closely enough to be able t form an exact estimate of the number of persons who within the last 10 years had become of an age to appreciate and enjoy the approaching spectacle, but he believed he was not far wrong when he said that in London alone no less than 500,000 persons had arrived at that age, while in those great centres of industry connected with the metropolis by the iron roads which now bound the country together there would probably be over 2,000,000 young persons not of an age in 1851 to appreciate the exhibition in that year, who would be in a con dition to enjoy that of 1862, From foreign countries the commissioners had received the most gratifying assurances that no efforts would be wanting on their part. (Cheers.) In Sweden, P russ i a , an d F rance commissions had been formed of most distinguished persons, including in every instance members of the Government. (Cheers.) It had been the custom of all countries to have commemorations of different descriptions. The Greeks, as they all knew, had such customs, and the name of " Isthmian Games" had been not inaptly applied to the English na tional festival of the Derby. (Cheers and laughter.) He hoped he should not lower himself in the esti mation of the present assembly if he said that there were very few events which more deeply engaged his own attention, or which he more thoroughly enjoyed, than the Derby on Epsom Downs —(cheers) —and he hoped also that he should not lower the position of the ministry of this country if he stated that several of his colleagues felt an equal interest in it; and, in fact, so great was that interest this year, that, at his request, the cabinet put off the consideration of that vexed question the Galway packet contract for two hours, in order to afford an opportunity of attending the Derby. (Loud cheers.) It might be inferred from those cheers that the majority of that assembly felt an interest in that great contest between animals which Englishmen always regarded with peouliar affection. (Hear.) What, then, ought to be their enthusiasm when the contest was not between horse and horse, but be tween man and man, and one the result of which must have an important bearing on the progress of civilisation among the human race? (Cheers.) On the whole, he was deeply convinced that the result of their exertions would be an exhibition which would be an honour to this country, and would in- dicate considerable advancement in arts and manu factures, as compared with their state in 1851. The noble earl concluded by proposing " The Health of the noble Chairman," which was received with great enthusiasm. The Earl of ELGIN briefly returned thanks. After bole other toads the company oeparged. PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. CIiURCH BATES: The most exciting event of the Session is the defeat of Sir John Trelawny's Bill yesterday, by the casting vote of the Speaker. Yachts have been known to touch as they passed the winning -point, after being separated by intervals of miles during the day's sail, and dead heats are common enough on racecourses, though the greater contests of the turf are strangely exempt from them. Even in the game of politics an equal division is no rare occurrence on some point of little interest, but an even balance of opinion between 548 members on a measure of first-rate importance in itself, and doubtless selected for a fair trial of strength at the late Conservative meeting, is little short of 'a por tent. Half the dining-tables of London will have canvassed the Speaker's conduct when the ominous fact was announced to him, and the elevation or depression of his thumb was to decide for a whole year the fortunes of English Dissenters. At such a moment the Homeric gods meet in council and deliberate 'whether they shall incline to the side of Greeks or Trojans, of besiegers or besieged. No meaner motives than theirs, we may be sure, ani mated the Speaker, as ' fairly call the weaker n `" -• by his single voice the revenues of the Church. It has been suggested that had he voted for the third reading, and thus postponed the crisis till he had put the question " that this bill do now pass," the activity of the whippersin might have been exerted in the meantime so as to turn the scale. But although, in that case, the Lords Would not have been robbed of their sport, the effect would not have been so striking, and the loss of excitement to the general public would have been irreparable. The real wonder is, however, not that, under the circumstances, there should have been a drawn battle, but that this subject should still be within the sphere of discussion at all. Twenty years ago no one would have given it credit for having so long a term of life before it. Not one of the great questions of that period—the Corn Laws, Education, or " Ireland "—seemed likely to be solved before this. It is the survivor of a whole family of grievances proverbial for their longevity, and may still continue for a few years—thanks to yesterday's Division and the House of Lords—to astonish the world by its vitality. Of its ultimate destiny no wise man can entertain a doubt. After such blows have fallen upon any institution, espe cially if it be a tax, and such admissions have been made by its very advocates, its fate is sealed, how ever long it may linger after its death-wound. There are very few members of the House of Com mons who are not committed to some scheme of compromise, conceding the whole principle at stake, and reserving scarcely a shred of sentiment to fight for. Every variety of adjustment has been tender ed, and has failed, down to the last notable sugges tion of Mr. Sotberon Estcourt, by which the prac tice of the last five years should determine for ever the grand issue of Rates or No Rates, and the acci dental balance of parochial parties during this brief interval should thus be stereotyped by legislation and made the rule for posterity. It was hardly to be expected that the Nonconformist leaders would accept any such terms, or, indeed, any terms that have yet been offered. After the Braintreecase had decided that church rates, except when sanctioned by a majority of the ratepayers, were an instance of a legal obligation 'without a corresponding means of enforcing it, the game was theirs. It is notori ous that in many large town-parishes, and especially in the metropolis, church rates have not been paid for years, and that the voluntary system, in some form, is found adequate to supply the deficiency. With all our prejudices against uniformity, it cannot long be tolerated by common sense that a tax re presented to be essential to the very being of the church should be levied in one place, and repu diated, without any perceptible injury, in another. Nor is there less uncertainty in its appropriation than in its incidence. The repair of the fabric stands on a footing of its own ; the " necessaries " are distinguished from the " luxuries " of public worship ; the cost of surplices, books, and the sacramental elements are plac e d in a different category from that of the organ, carpets, and cushions, and nice distinctions are drawn as to the liability of congregations or parishioners for each of these items. When an impost so paltry in its aggregate amount, compared with the irritation which it produces, has to be thus apportioned to make it compatible with any theory of justice, and it is gravely proposed to abandon the old basis of "immemorial usage" for the precedent of the last five years, there is but one solution possible, how ever frequently or skilfully it may be postponed. Nothing could be less satisfactory than the view which predominated in the debate of yesterday. It was assumed by all supporters of Church-rates that no arrangement could be permanent unless it savoured of a compromise. It was not because justice lay half-way between the two parties, or because the establishment could not maintain itself without this compulsory endowment, that these speakers insisted on some bargain being concluded. It was rather as the old English way of settling differences that they recommended it, hinting, at the same time, that an unconditional surrender would be inconsistent with their honour. No one proposed to retain Church-rates in their integrity, but no one would go beyond " personal exemption." It must be admitted that Mr. Sotheron Estcourt's proposal, as explained in his speech, was " con ciliatory" enough—being, in fact, nothing less than to make Church-rates optional in practice, though compulsory in theory. Sir G. C. Lewis contrived to gild his pill still more delicately, inventing an expedient by which Churchmen might distinguish themselves from Dissenters, and thus relieve the latter of the invidious responsibility of ostensible separation. Some such half measure as these might, for aught we know, be practicable and unobjection able enough if the object were only to tide over a crisis, and not to set at rest a vexatious question which has got beyond the stage of "amicable arrangement." Before Messrs. Estcourt and Cross call upon us to adopt some new-fangled refinement on what they stoutly defend as a " common law right," they should satisfy us that Sir J. Trelawny's simpler remedy would be mis chievous or ineffective. This they entirely fail to do. Mr. Estcourt upholds the machinery of Church-rates because, forsooth, it perpetuates a venerable mode of local self-government —as if taxation were an end in itself, and as if vestries were really a school of political education. We can not see that there is anything ennobling in the right of a majority to tax an unwilling minority, even of fellow-Churchmen ; and as for the right to tax themselves, it would remain unimpaired, not to say invigorated, under a voluntary system. The experience of all Dissenting sects proves that it is possible to maintain plates of worship, and minis ters to boot, by spontaneous efforts, even after con tributing to the expenses of another communion ; and the experience of our own Church during the last 50 years is still more encouraging. It would be a great mistake to suppose that, be cause the majority for the abolition of church rates has for once sunk to zero, the question is now finally shelved. It is impossible that a question like this should not ultimately triumph, whatever its tem porary fluctuations. Some years ago the Liberation Society and its emissaries had all the advantages of the attacking party, and seemed on the point of victory, A slight reaction has since ensued, partly due to the untiring efforts which the clergy have made at the recommendation of Mr. Disraeli, and partly to the number of persons, in and out of Par liament, who have some pet nostrum to recommend, Even Mr. Bright has a scheme for keeping up the existing machinery, " only abolishing the sum mons, the magistrate, and the bailiff,' and with them, of course, the compulsory character of the rate. Every practitioner likes to try his hand on a case of this kind, and so the wound must be kept open till the whims of all have been gratified. But there is a third and more powerful cause which has delayed and prejudiced the abolition of church rates, and this is the ulterior aims avowed by t tor; of its own champions. It is the height tfPult of to introduce a measure as a m oro man be changes of undefined magnitude and tionable policy. How can any timid as "Vestry eted to deal with church ra tes,ospc w hen he is 'n Ireland, Cass" was dealt with sa moat ques gtrathrye openly told that by clomp; tithes hise is directlyba tpa c v e i n n f and the downfall way for the extinction o „ of Church "supremacy legisla tion to the tentative c haracter of all Engl ish b der and m ore down principles broader to lay equired to cover the case in swee p ing than a re required enough question. It wi ll to discuss Tithes when a scheme for their extinction is before Parlia ment, es pecially as the principle involved in them is radically different from that of Sir John Tre lawny's Bill. Meanwhile, much as we regret the continued agitation of this subject, we have no fault to find with the Speaker's discretion in pre venting such a Bill being sent up to the House of Fords by the vote of 0. bare majority.—Times, The Archbishop of CautErbary piesided in the Upper House. The Ven. Archdeacon Bickersteth, the aeiii:g prolocutor of the Lower House, brought up the report of the committee of the Lower House ap pointed to consider the volume, entitled " Essays and Reviews," and received the permission of their lordships to act upon it. Leave was also given for the appointment of a committee to consider an in crease of the episcopate. A proposal was also made that: the discussion on the 29th canon should be postponed until the sitting of Convocation in Feb. next, in consequence of the differences which existed between the two houses on the subjeet. A long discussion on this subject took place, which resulted in its being rrsolyed, on the motion of the Bishop of Oxford, that it appeared to their lordships inexpe dient to defer to a distant session the consideration of the 29th canon, and that the president be re quested to direct the Lower House to bring up any difficulties they might have, so that the two houses might confer together on the matter. The Bishop of OXFORD, referring to a notice re ceived from the Lower House on the subject of ir regular marriages, moved that the Upper House acknowledge the receipt of the representation on the projected alterations in the law of marriage. The Bishop of OXFORD, in noticing a memorial on the subject of poor incumbencies f rom the Lower imp ortant c c o h u u l r d ch b t e h m an or the e i mprove mtlioeotnuhtseeoN, f vse i a t li s ld- N p vt o oh o ra r kt i i nn n go c u toh m fi nt b hg e e n cies, notwithstanding the awakened liberality of the church. There was a difficulty too in the matter, because the property of The church had been dealt with by Parliament and • with it they could. It was very doing thehbe Ecclesiastical est Commissioners, ho were im portant that the church should have brought before it in an authorised manner, without its being con sidered the voice of any party in the church, whether the poor incumbencies might be augmented or supported by voluntary offerings of the people. There was a suspicion in some quarters that the offertory savoured of certain views of doctrine and points of practice. It was a great misfortune that this great question, owing to the unwisdom of some, the suspicion of others, and the accidents of the times—that this only remaining way of obtaining the funds necessary to meet the greatly increasing population should be open to such misconception. His lordship, after some discussion, moved a resolu tion nominating a committee to consider the suNect in detail, consisting of the Bishops of London, Win chester, Oxford, St. Asaph, Lincoln, Llandaff, Glou cester and Bristol, :and Rochester, and requesting the Lower House to nominate nine of its members to act with their lordships. The Bishop of St. ASAPII seconded the motion. The Bishop of LONDON said it appeared to him that the Lower House had brought before them a very wide question, and that the whole question with regard to small endowments should be taken into grave consideration. As the discussion had turned upon the offertory, he felt bound to say that there was an absurd and false prejudice which at tended the gathering of money on the Lord's day. There was a law by which churchwardens and the clergymen and the churchwardens might agree as to the dizposal of the money, and care must be taken that there should be no infringement of those old parochial rights. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Their lordships, after receiving further communi cations from the Lower House, adjourned. The members of the Lower House assembled at the Jerusalem Chamber—the Yen. Archdeacon Bickersteth presided. The Rev. J. FENDALL submitted a resolution to the effect that the Lower House of Convocation should appeal to his Grace the President, and the bishops of the Upper House to ask for leave to frame a canon to express the opinion of the church with regard to the ornaments and vestments to be used with service of the church. After a lengthened discussion the motion was, by leave, withdrawn. The amendments of the Upper House on the 20th canon were in the main agreed to and reported. The Rev. Dr. BRISCOE moved that a representa tion be made to the Upper House that in the opi - nion of that house (the Lower) it is desirable that some means should be provided by which, after the apostolic custom, letters commendatory may be given by the bishops or clergy to such members o their respective flocks as may have occasion to migrate to other parts whether at home or abroad. The resolution was agreed to. Just before the rising of the Lower House of Con vocation the decision of the House of Commons on. Sir John Trelawny's Church Rate Bill was an nounced. The declaration was received with the greatest possible enthusiasm by the assembled mem bers, who showed their gratification by clapping of hands. The house adjourned shortly before six o'clock. THE MEETING AT LORD DERBY'S. _ . The great event of the day was, of course, the meeting of the Conservative party at Lord Derby's residence. The Government were in a state of painful anxiety with regard to the course which might be determined upon, and the lobbies in the afternoon were thronged with Ministerial members anxious to learn the decision so nearly touching their interests and position, and so keenly exciting their hopes and fears. As various rumours, more or less consistent with the truth, will necessarily be afloat, I thind it right to let you know what actually occurred. The muster considerably ex ceeded 200 members of the House of Commons, and was even more important from the fact that letters were received from a large number of habitual sup porters of Lord Derby, whose absence from town prevented them from attending in person. The ostensible object of the gathering was to consider the course which ought to be pursued with regard to the Church-rates Bill of Sir John Trelawny, but it was well known that the real interest of the pro ceedings lay in the reference which could not jail to be made to the recent division on the Paper Duties' question. The noble Earl, at the commence ment of his observations, said he could not refrain from expressing his surprise and satisfaction at the numerous attendance of gentlemen who had honored him by responding to his invitation —regard being had to the lateness of the session and to the very short notice which he had been able to give. Passing to the immediate object of the meeting he stated that the bill which Mr. S. Estcourt had pro posed, in the spirit of conciliation, was put forward. on his own responsibility ; but it showed conclu sively that the desire for conciliation was all on the side of the Conservative members. The best way of inspiring respect in an opponent was to beat him with his own weapons; and, consequently, the only way of inducing the opponents of church rates to agree to an amicable settlement was by re jecting triumphantly the abolition scheme of Sir I. Trelawny. Adverting to the position of the present Government, his lordship said it had been supposed. by some that a vote of want of confidence ought to be proposed; and, undoubtedly, if such a motion were brought forward, there could be no doubt that it would succeed. But then came the question, was it aesirable to do so? In the present Cabinet two parties were represented—the one Conservative, and the other Eadiml, if not revolutionary. Lord Palmerston, who was the avowed head of the for mer, maintained his supremacy, not altogether by his own position and influence, but by being a ble to appeal to the formidable ranks of the Opposi tion, tion by relying on whom he could at any o l ' w n u quell his own insubordinate following. t, 1 4 as Lord Palmerston acted in such asp their work, the best thing which id happen to COu at the head the country was that he should remain growing in and aid of affairs, while Conservatism u in fluence and in strength, and direction of a ff airs.
