The last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48 per cent. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent.

Linklater, his solicitors, to the head office, in Threadneedle-street, and, after serving the adjudication of the court, entered on the premises, and took formal possession of the hank. They arrived there at 12 o'clock, and forthwith posted up the adjudication in the bank ; but it was immediately re moved by the officers of the interim manager. Mr. Wintle, one of the assistant messengers, proceeded to seize the cash bags in the hands of the clerks, but was immediately made to surrender them. The messengers were then generally confronted by the interim manager and his solicitor.. Messrs. Chilton and Burt in, and Messrs. Amoty, Travers, and Smith, who peremptorily ordered them, in the name of the Court of Chancery, to refrain from touching any of the boo'-:s or effects of the bank. The messengers o f th e C our t o f B an k rop t cy d eeme d it expedient to comply with these expostulations, but refused to retire from the premises. Mr. Harding then explicitly told them that lie refused to recognise the order of the Court of Bankruptcy, and said he would only allow them to remain so long as they con ti nue d passive. An armistice having been agreed upon, the Interim manager immediately procee led to serve copies of the order of the Court of Chancery on the Court of Bankruptcy and on the official assignee, and also pro ceeded the various branches of the bank in different parts of the metropolis, in each of which, to the surprise of the previous occupants, he found a messenger of the Court of Bankruptcy in possession, with whom he dealt as he had done with those in Threadneedle-street. Yes terday at the Strand branch, about 400 depositors came in and lodged their claims. LIABILITY OP RAILWAY COMPANIES. —At the Don caster County Court, on Monday, an action was brought by a horse dealer named Thompson, residing at Man ciester, against the Midland Railway Company, to re cover the sum of 501., reduced damages, as compensa tion for the loss sustained by him in consequence of the alleged neglect of the plaintiffs in not having forwarded, according to contract, three valuable horses from Don caster to Manchester. The facts of the case are as fol lows :--The plaintiff attended the horse fair at Doncaster in August last, and purchased there three valuable nags, which he desired to forward to Manchester. A train was advertised to leave Doncaster at 3.30 p. m ., f o r Manchester, by the Midland line, and the plaintiff's man booked the three horses to go by that tr a i n. T he plain tiff himself and his a.sistaiit also took tickets for the same train, but they were informed, just before the time of starting, that the horses could not go, as the train Was a fast one. The plaintiff; however, insisted on his right to have them sent, as they were booked, stating that be had made inquiries at the booking-officein the morn ing, and could have sent his horses by ar,other route, if he had not been told that they could go by the Midland line. Ultimately the horses were !Mowed to g 9 by the train, but at Swinton, about nine miles from Dorchester, the boxes in which they were conveyed were . detached from the t ra i n . Th e plaintiff pro ceeded on his j ourney, but did riot miss th e animals until he reached Sheffield. He got to Manchester at 7 p.m., and at 10 p.m. made ' inquiries at the station fur the horses, but they had not arrived. On the f o ll ow i ng d ay h e f ou nd that they had come in early in the morning, but he found them in such bad condition from exposure and neglect that he scarcely knew them again ; they had got cold, their legs were swollen, and th ey had ''staring coats. A vete rinary surgeon was called in, but the horses were so much deteriorated in value that the plaintiff bad been unable to sell them, and had them still upon his hands, although, before leaving Doncaster he bad been offered a profit of 151. upon one of them. For the de fence it was contended that the horses had been booked by the 3.30 p.m. train by mi s t a k e, an d that t h e plaintiff having a dealer's ticket ought to have looked after his horses himself. The judge (Mr. W. Walker) told the jury that they had to consider w h e th er a b reac h o f con tract bad been committed by the defendants--of which there could be little doubt—and to assess the damages. the plaintiff ! with 301. cla ; The aa j e u e r a y a f d ou a n . d i a o verdict coets: for ge eral rule that all agricultural meetings lately held politics should be banished, or nearly so. Now, I have taken the liberty more than once, in speak ing to you, to beg and pray of you to have meetings at which your members should talk to you about poli tics, so if you have not heard already anything I have to tell you, it is your fault, and not mine. I might very well leave the discussion of politics upon the present occasion, but I am the less inclined to do so because I have lately seen some extraordinary recommendations from certain gentlemen who are going to reform the Administration,•and to effect wonders in the House of Commons; and, among the rest, they are going to make every one of us 600 unfortunate gentlemen give our opi nions every night on every possible subject submitted to us. We live to see strange things, indeed ! Now, gen tlemen, with regard to agricultural statistics, I am of opinion that there is a vast deal of humbug in the matter. (Cheers and laughter.) I don't believe it is worth your while either to oppose them or adopt them. If anybody wants to know how many acres of wheat; or of turnips, or potatoes,. , I grow, I'll tell him ; but as to Its being of -the istrialleet nse to any living man, I don't believe one word of it. People go mad, and nations are going mad, after these statistics • and if you don't fur nish them, I'll tell you what will be the consequence. You will have fellows sent round the country to take them, and then you will have to pay for them pretty smartly. That is the point about this agitation which I dislike. I ' think the odds are that the gentlemen who will be sent round will be the barrister of seven years' standing, and this is a sort of gentleman who, I think, is getting a vast deal too much employment already. I think it is perfectly absurd to suppose that these agricultural statistics will be of the smallest use. You cannot give the requisite information directly after the crop is out of the ground, for I defy any body in the world, and no farmer is fool enough to. suppose that he can itell how his crops will turn out until they are thrashed., It is, therefore, no. thing but nonsense to pretend that any advantage what ever can arise to the farmer from the collection of agri• cultural statistics. Now, my hon. friend in the chair alluded to the tax upon ale. I believe I have advocated more than any one in the house its removal. lam not only fond of ale myself, but I positively believe it to be a national institution. I don't like the nasty, beastly black compoUnd which goes under the name of London porter. (Cheers and laughter.) And yet, although I am so fond of ale, I know, I believe, but one single house in the whole county of Surrey where good ale is to be had. (Laughter.) A little while ago we had a song about the golden days when there was ale in the cottage and ale in the hall, but I candidly confess that I have never seen ale in the cottage since I was a child. (Hear, hear.) I must, however, do Mr. Disraeli the justice to say that he was willing to take off half the malt tax. (Hear, bear.) But by whom was he prevented ? Why, by the same gentlemen who cry out, " Oh, dear me, don't tax the poor man in the articles of his consumption ; no, no, tax realised property." They were great advo cates for taxing realised property. "Well, then," thought Mr. Disraeli, " what is so much realised property as a house ? I'll put a tax upon houses." But what was the consequence ? AU London got up in arms. Every large provincial town got up in arms, and declared how shameful they were served. By what ?—by his putting a tlx upon what ? Why upon realised property. And there are people who say, " Don't drink beer." Beer, for sooth ! why there's hardly any one in the country who knows what beer is now. " If we were to shut up all the brewers in London in a room, and give them nothing but malt and hops, I don't suppose that all the malt and hops in the world would enable them to turn out that nasty black stuff they call porter. I recently got out of a friend of mine how much malt was used to a hogshead of liquor in the great London porter breweries. I dare say most of you—at all events some of you—re member the time when it was thought a point of honour never to send the great barley-rake into a field to clean it until after the labourer had been there to glean, so as to get enough to brew himself a little beer. Some of that beer I have tasted, and certainly it was not very strong. The proportion of malt put into a hogehead— I don't mean to say the labourer brewed a hogshead, or anything like it—but the proportion of malt he put in was six bushels ; the farmer brewed eight, and the gentle man 10 or 12. 13tit - what do you think the proportion of malt put in the London porter is ? Two bushels. (Loud laughter.) Now, I was telling this to a friend of mine in the House of ommons who is a capital f rawer himself, and I wanted to pump out of him bow much be put in his. (Laughter.) He wouldn't tell me that, hut he said, I'll send you a dozen as a present And he did send a dozen, and very' good it was. " But," said I, "doesn't it appear to be very strong?" " Well," be replied "I'm a good deal accustomed to go out deer stalking, shooting, and sporting in the Highlands; I always drink it, and I never find it affect me." (Laughter.) I fear that we shall never get the malt tax off for the benefit of the farmers unless there is a very strong effort made. (Cheers, and a cry of " Brave !") Now, what's the use of crying " Bravo, bravo I" unless you come up with petitions aO7l ietnonbtrances and back me in the house ? Gentlemen, I believe this question of beer presses as much upon the morals as the comforts of the people; and if by the means of removing the malt tax you can give them plenty of really good beer, you will do more to reform their mora's than by all the trumpery schemes that are now being so strongly advocated. (Cheers and laughter.) SUBAARINE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. A public dinner was given last evening, at the Albion Although November term is now close at hand there is no official, or, indeed, an ycertain announce raent of the app o i n t men t o f t h e ne w judge. This delay will undoubtedly load to considerable incon veni.2nce and confusion both to the profession and the public, as the rules and regulations of the new court, which have to be drawn up in conjunction with the Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls, should by this time have been in the hands of all parties interested. An evening paper (the Mail) hints that a judge of the common law courts (Mr. Justice Ball) is the chosen man, and that the un doubted claims of ex-Chancellor Blackburne have been set aside for the sake of patronage, inasmuch as Mr. Ball's promotion would create a vacancy in the Common Pleas— a ver y p o or consideration, it must be confessed, w h en oppose d, to the fact that the country would be a gainer to the amount of 3,0001. a-year by the saving of the pension now enjoyed by Mr. Blackburne. LORD CARLISLE IN ,VIE NORTH. The Earl of Carlisle loaves Dublin to-day on a short visit to Garron Tower, the seat of the Dowager Marchioness of Londonderry, in the county of Antrim. En route his Excellency means to be pre sent at the opening of the Cookstown Extension line, a work of great importance to a large and fiou rishing district of country, and one which is very creditable to the proprietors of the Belfast and Ballymena Railway Company ) by which it has been constructed. THE PRIESTS AND THE INCOME TAX. The following singular scene is reported by the Kilkenny Journal as having been enacted in that city on Friday last, the leading parts being taken by her Majesty's Income-tax Commissioner and the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, parish priest of Ballingarry : " Commissioner—Are you the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—Yes. " Commissioner—What may be the amount of your annual revenue- ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald —I don't know. It varies so much, being one time more and another time less. " Commissioner—Perhaps you could guess ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—No, indeed. Any conjecture of mine would be quite vague and uncertain. " Commissioner—Why ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—Because my revenue entirely depends on the voluntary offerings of the people, than which nothing can be more fluctuating. The person who gives may give on one occasion a certain sum, and on another occasion he may increase or diminish it, or with. hold it altogether. I never kept an accurate account of these offerings, and never could. " CommisiOner—But here is a paper signed by you, stating the average amount of your revenue, and sub scribe,i with your name ; is it not an accurate estimate? "Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—No. "Connui.,ioner—Then why put your name to it ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—A paper was sent me, saying that unless I gave in some return no appeal would be allowed me. I then wrote down some account—not that I consider, or could consider, it accurate, but to comply with the conditions, and that I might not be deprived of the right of appeal. " Commissioner—ls this your signature.? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—l'll not tell you. " C6minissioner—Why not? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—Because you have no right whatever to take my revenues ; whatever they may be, they are free and voluntary offerings of the peop?e. " Commissioner—lt is not we who seek to tax you, but the Queen. " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—To me it is all the same as between you. I get nothing from either of you, and owe you nothing. Yours is the only Government in Europe that gives nothing, with one trivia/ exception, to the Catholic Church. You took away what belonged to her and threw the Catholic clergy for their support on the bounty of the people, and now you are not satisfied with. out imposing on us this tax, the collection of which will cost you more than it will be worth, and render it as odious as tithes were some time ago. " Commissioner—We must rule against you forlso/. " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—You may rule as you like, end m.. 57 amount that it pleases you, but 1 will appeal to another Court and take sayaritsge of every tha law affords me; if this will not avail you may then dis train and sell the means of support .giveriby the . libe rality of a faithful and devoted people to a hard-working clergy, but one penny of a tax on their voluntary offer ings you will never receive willingly from me." The Debats of yesterday presents its readers with the following useful statement of the questions now pending between Russia and the Allies, so far as they relate to the Bessarabian frontier : The deliberations and diecussions of the Paris Congrese had for their starting point the protocolsigned at Vienna on the Ist of February. With respect to the rectification of the Bessarabian frontier, that protocol declared as follows : "This fron tier, thus rectified Ina manner conformable to tbegeneral interests, shall start from the environs of Chotyin, follow the line of mountains which stretch in a south easterly direction, and shall terminate at Lake Salsyk. The boundary line shall be definitely determined by the treaty of peace, and the conceded territory shall return to the Princiealities, and to the suzerainty of the Porte." The Cengress was occepi- d with the regulation of the fronth rs during its sitting on the Bth of March. A po tion of . the sitting on the 10th of Marc)] was also devoted thereto, and the protocols contain a detailed account of what was said and done during these'two sittings. The Russian' pleaipotentiaries, denying the possibility of es tablishing a direct line between the two extreme points indicated in the preliminaries of peace, proposed a line of frontier conceived on another system, and as their project excited strong objections on the part of the French, English; and Austrian plenipotentiaries, they ended by deelaiing " that they bad no other object than to establish an agreement conformable to the topography of - the country andthe interest of its inhabitants, and that they were ready, consequently, to discuss any other proposition which might, be submitted to them." The chief French plenipotentiary propounded, on his side, a proposition fouhded en a compensation, and calculated to lead to- an agreement. "After a discussion of this amendment (we quote from the protocol respecting the sitting of March 8), in which all the pleeipotefitiaries took part, it was proposed to the Russian plenipoten tiaries to establish the frontier by means of a line which, setting out from the Prutb, between Suova and Hush, should pass to the north of Lake Salsyk,sand termi nate beyond Lake Albedies. The Russian plenipoten tiaries, necessitated, as they said, to assure themselves concerning the position under this arrangement of the Bulgarian and Russian colonies established in that part of Bessarabia, requested that the discussion might be adjourned to the next sitting, which was agreed to." In the sitting of the 10th of March the Russian plenipotentiaries required a modifi cation of the boundary line which had been pro posed. According to the protocol—" This proposition became the subject of an examination, participated in by all the plenipotentiaries, who at last agreed that the frontier line should set out from the Black Sea to the east of the Lake BOurna-Sola, rejoin perpendicularly the route of Akerman, follow the same as the Trajan Val ley, pass to the.south of Bolgrad, reascend the river Yalpuck as far as the heights of Saratzki, and thence terminate at Katamon, on the Pruth." This decision is reproduced verbatim in the 20th article of the treaty of March 30th, the last paragraph of which runs thus Delegates of the contracting powers shall fix the de tails of the new frontier The delegates of the powers have accordingly gone to work. On the greater portion of the frontier line they have found, themselves free from .much dispute, but at Bolgrad they have seriously differed. Bolgrad is a small town situated at the head of Lake Yalpuck, at a point where the river of that name discharges itself into the lake. It is a town of itself of, no importance, but its possession is not without its interest for Russia, Ix cause it is the chief town of those Bulgarian and Rus sian settlements established in, that part of Bessarabia, the condition of which occupied the attention of the Russian plenipotentiaries during the sitting of March S, and caused them to ask for an adjournment of the pro ceedings. Bolgrad is the commercial centre of those settlements, and a school and a church have been built there by the Russian Government. One may readily conceive that the Russian plenipotentiaries insisted that Bolgrad might be conserved to Russia, and that the other powers consented. But the Bolgrad of to-day, situated on the borders of Lake Yalpuck, is not exactly the same as the Bolgrad of a former date, situated at a short distance from the lake. The ancient Bolgrad has lost its name.. It is now called Taback, or Tamack. It is but little inhabited. The life and stir of the place have concentratedelemseives at the New Bolgrad, which, by means of the Lake Yalpuck, is not absolutely deprived of all communication with the Danube. Some of the delegates contend that the new frontier should not pass to the south, but to the north of the modern Bolgrad, and to the south of the ancient Bolgrad only. These delegates, said to be those of Turkey and England, maintain that a line which should pass to the south of the now Bolgrad would be irreconcilable with the well-known intention of the contracting Powers; so much so, indeed, that if the Congress adopted it, this could only be through some misunderstanding, or through a material error, to which power of revocation is always permitted ; that the paramount object was to separate Russia tram—kixaDanube. and that this will not be_ nb tained if its frontier touches the Lake Yalpnck. There has been much debate on this matter, much written and spoken on all sides, without coming to an agreement. Now, as the Congress is summoned to in terpret its work, and to declare whether its intention has been faithfully expressed or not, in the 20th article of the treaty, we see that it is highly expedient that this question should be submitted to its consideration. In alt the discussions which have already taken place, there has been revealed a singular matter, which, though not without significance, is not referred to in the pro tocols. When the Russian Plenipotentiaries, in the sitting of the Congress on March Bth, criticised the pro ject for rectifying the frontier setinitted at Vienna on the proposition of Austria, and inscribed in the preliminaries of peace, they produced maps drawn up by their designers which gave their remarks a show of plausibility. These maps, according to the Russian Plenipotentiaries, exactly tallied with the districts represented, and an inspection of the same was sufficient to show the error which was allowed to find entrance at Vienna. When the discus sion was resumed at the next sitting, other maps, it is said, were produced from the archives of the French Minister of War. It appears that they came very near to the Russian maps, and were not without influence on the deliberations. We are informed that the Russian Plenipotentiaries now fall back on this circumstance, and defend the frontier-line adopted by the Congress, reminding us (that this line, suggested by the French documents, was unanimously proposed to them by the other Powers representest at the Congress; and that at this moment the correctness of the French maps has not been contested by any one. But Turkey and England, without denying the fact of the production of the French maps, do not assign to them the authority which is sought to be allotted to them, but reject them from any weight in determining the point under dispute. They cannot be taken into ac count, say they, unless at the time when they were pro duced they were marked with the initials of the members of the Congress present. This was not done, and there fore they maintain that these maps have not found a place in the preceding discussions in the character of official documents, but only as simple references to which no one is committed. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BRYN MALLY MINE. WR4XIIAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Since the fatal occurrence of Wednesday last the great est efforts have been made to pump out the water from the mine; but at first those exertions produced little, if any, effect. There was a slight diminution on Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday the water had increased in depth two yards above the amount ascertained by gauging at the pit's mouth immediately after the accident. The usual means of lifting were, of course, insufficient, and the cage, or large iron box used in raising the coal and in lowering and raising the men, was brought into requisition at the earliest possible moment. By this additional power, accord ing to information we obtained on the spot, they are now pumping nut 120 tons of water per hour, and it is confi dently believed that, should this be continued as it has been, night and day, and no accident occur to the machinery either to-morrow or next day at the latest persona will be able to descend to the upper workings, and ascertain the fate of the missing men. The fact of a miner in this neigh bourhood, now aged 70, having under similar circumstances some years ago, remained underground for more than a fortnight with miky horse flesh to subsist upon, and that a number of horses ware in this mine last Wednesday, gives faint—though very faint—hopes of some one or two of the unfortunate 13 victims being yet rescued from a frightful ' death. Eight married men having large families, four single men, and a boy, are unaccounted for, and the cit eutesta.nce that they were working, at the time of the in undation, in a level beyond the spot from which the four persons Who last emerged escaped in so precarious a manner, by means of crawling on their bellies more than a mile up the air shaft, raises the strong presumption that they were overtaken by the advancing volume ere they could seize even the small chance of safety which such an outlet pre sented. At the time of the accident, nearly the whole of the 200 miners employed were engaged in the ordinary oc-. cupations underground, and the escape of such a large ma jority under circumstances perilous in the extreme is en tirely attributable to the presence of mind and the real. heroism of a boy named Edwards. He was the first to dis cover the bursting in of the water, and to spread the alarm , through the workings. The men hastened to the pit's eye, and Edwards, not finding his father among them, set off in another direction with the praiseworthy desire of saving his parent's life. In this he happily succeeded. When retreat was rendered impossible by the a 'vane ing water, he bethought him of an air shaft known neither to his father nor to his father's two mates; he conducted them to it, and in the manner above described the four reached an upp©r working, whence they were dragged to the surface in an exhausted condition. The inundation was in no way owing to late rains, but to an accumulation of water in an adjoining mine, known as Sparrow's mine, which had not been worked for more than 50 years. The Bryn Melly mine belongs to Messrs. Clay ton arid Darling, a well-known firm iu connection with the coal trade of Lancashire, and is one of the largest in North Wales. This sad event, though occasioning less sensation in a mining district, where loss of life seems ever to be contemplated as a contingency inseparable from the nature of the occupation, has created unusual regret, and that regret is painted in the faces of groups of men, wistfully regarding every lift of the enormous ' cage, and express ' ing by their looks in a manner not to be mistaken anxious apecnlations upon the probable fate of comrades whose accustomed voices they will never hear again. It is surely crying defect of law that when an un used mine is known, as ,this Sparrow's mine was known, to be fully charged with water, no 'steps are 'or can be taken to preclude the possibility of casualties such as we have here to record. THE INDICTMENT AGAINST JAMBS SA.DLEIR. The °Emmet coirespondost of the Dublin, Even ing Mail, writing last night : communicates the following information respecting the fugitive mem ber for Tipperary : "It is currently reported that a writ of ce tioncri has issued from the Court of Queen's Bench for the removal of all the proceedings connected with the indictment found against James Sadleir at last assizes into that court before the first day of November term. Rumour further has it that is the intention of the above-named gentleman to surrender himself for trial upon said in dictment before a Dublin jury next month. The indict. went is only for amisdemeanour (conspiracy to defraud)." Yesterday a large portion of James Sadleir's fur niture was sold by auction in Dublin, and the sale is to be continued this day. Curiosity attracted a .vast crowd of purchasers, and as the articles were, as might be expected, of the ,most costly descrip tion, the highest prices were realised for every thing. At present it is difficult to form an opinion as to the exact amount likely to be obtained by the sale, but it is anticipated that the account, when made up, will show that a considerable sum out of the auction will be at the disposal of the official manager for the benefit of the creditors of the Tipperary Bank.

Brother Starkey and Brother Thomas, the shining lights dale Agapemone, held forth in the Assembly. rooms on Friday night. The rooms were densely crowded. After the' usual farrago of blamberny and non. sense, Mr. HeHard ; ironmonger, asked, It the door of mercy was shut, what was the use of being there ?" Another person denounced the proceedings as sheer humbug, to gull the public. Mr. TIELLARD wished to know whether the door was shut. Let the gentleman answer that. (Cheers, and a voice—" He can't.") How long has the door of mercy been shut—making so bold ? The scene of confusion at this moment was really ave ful, the hisses, oat-calls, screeches, and expressions of disapprobation being wholly indescribable. It was, in tact, &perfect Babel of indignant voices. At length, Mr. THOMAS, who had been going through hie decla matory movements on the platform, held up his finger in a remonstrating attitude, and said :—lf you have any intention of hearing what I will tell you, I will proceed, but it not, I call Heaven to witness that on you and you alone rests the rejection of my warning. In refusing to bear the message from God through "Brother Prince," your blood be upon your own heads. If you will not listen to the word which I declare to you is sent for your deliverance from the power and kingdom of the devil, that is entirely a question between you and your God. We come here in all honesty and sincerity of heart ; we ask you not for anything ; all we look for is gentlemanly conduct. We want nothing of you ; we come to testify what God has done—what we have seen, and it is for you to reconcile your refusal to hear it with God aid your consciences. (Uproar.) The Rev. W. T. REDFERN, incumbent of Taunton St. James, rose in the body of the meeting, and said :—Will you allow me to say one word ? (Cheers.) It would save the time of the meeting if, sir, instead of giving us those doctrines which we all liedr in our respective churches, you would bring us to what I may call the distinctive character of your teaching. (" Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. BARNICOTT—WiII the first speaker, Mr. Starkey, be kind enough to answer the question of Mr., Hellard 7, We want that question answered before we go any fur ther. I mean Mr. Starkey's saying first that the door of mercy was closed, and then offering salvation to all of us here. If the question is not answered now we shall not stand a chance of getting it answered at all. We are met hero as men. of common sense, and we just want a common-sense answer to a plain question. We hope Mr. Starkey i 3 come lore to enlighten our minds—will he do so by answering the question ? (Cheers.) Mr. Starkey, though thus appealed to, still continued sitting in 'abstract mood, and the calls being loudly continued, Mr. THOMAS said—lf you really are to bear anything at all , you will hear what I have to say. (" No, no," and great uproar.) • The speaker here placed his overcoat over his arm, took up his hat, as it to depart, and said —" Hearken, hearken, to my words. (Hisses, and cries of" Starkey.") This is your condernnatioa, if you refuse to hear me-- (" Humbug," and disapprobation)—this is your condem nation ; men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. (Uproar.) qu A e l st - rioni! EL(l6AhlteDer-s—aWnde only s want you to ans wer th e e s Mr. LEE, the lessee of the assembly-room, then an nounced that the meeting was dissolved, and the two speakers calmly left the platform, amid the shouts of derision and jeers of the crowd, one of whom, as Messrs. Starkey and Thomas made their exit, exclaimed, "Pretty fellows ! I wonder the blush of shame doesn't mantle your cheeks." The Bev. W. T. REDFERN was then asked to take the chair, which he declined, The rev. gentleman, however, said—l was rather anxious that the last speaker should have been heard as to what was the distinctive character of their teaching. The first speaker certainly left us quite in darkness, and . perhaps the second might have enlightened us. (" He couldn't.") We have, however, heard sufficient to show that what these persons call the Gospel. iu our opinion, diametrically opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ . . (Cheers.) They emphatically bestate that the dispensation of Christ is cloied, and that Jesus Christ is now coming again to offer a fresh salvation. I heard him say, in the first place He is coming to judge the world, and then he said, Jesus Christ is coining tii offer WI a second salvation through "Brother Prince." Now I cannot understand or re concile that. (Applause.) I should be very sorry, for the, character of our town, for us to allow this meeting to cheer without coming to a resolution de claring our opinion of the character of the teaching of these men ; and as such resolutions have bean passed in other towns, I beg to move—" That the opinions that I have been expressed here this evening, by the speakers from the Agapetnone, are, in the 'opinion of this meeting, blasphemous towards ;Gm} L teaching of Jesus Christ, and ent i re ly •opposed to the d egra di n g to humanity. The resolution was aarriecrainid loud cheers, and the • meeting terminated.—Slierbortto Journal. TUE MISEULES OF A LIBIZO. .;" • oinngerrands, a hero. In reply to some newspaper strictures, Lieut. lir ast . e y writes : pe i n ` n S y ir . , a•li T ne o r u s d a o rr n es o t t y k o n u o r w se t r ls va e n m ts i s a e s r e o y f g b o e and ask where you were born, where you were brought up, who was your grandfather, and who was your schoolmas ter ; and some day you see a hideous biographical carica ture of yourself. A daguerreotypist seizes on you —an artist, pencil in hand, waylays you—an engraver puts your identity upon proof—invitations to public banquets .ccune_inupon you, on cards as large as dinnler-plateS— young ladies, in prettily-folded notes, solicit your ante graph. You receive an overwhelming supply of tracts from ladies of a graver age—imaginary poets harass you with cioggrel verses—authors of bad books send you copies of their tiresome wo:ks—you are stared at in the street — when your carriage stops, your horse is provokingly patted on the neck—you are shouted at in the theatres. In fact, comfort and privacy are at an end. Now, all this is very well for a strong, able, idle Crimean her o w h o lik es th e thing, and who has health and strength to bear it. But it is a very different thing, if by chance the unhappy victim; after six months lying on his back in one position in a Crimean hut, should return home, and wish to enjoy quiet, and to have time to nurse a leg some two or three inches shorter, and much feebler than its fellow—to think over tbo precautions necessary to preserve weak lungs in the moist climate of an Irish coming winter, and should have occasion two or three times a week to endure a very ugly ceremony—viz., the insertion of a probe some eight or ten inches into an open wound. " For my part, I give everybody notice, that I am by no means the man to make a hero of, and that those that made me so should at once repent. Much better may easily be had. The crop is as plentiful as blackberries. Crimeans are everything now, are everywhere, and though wild-looking and hirsute animals, are easily caught. Ido not at all answer the description. I have not a single hair on any upper or lower lip. I do not wear a Turkish cap when I travel. I never smoke tobacco. Therefore, where others may be had for the asking, I beg to be allowed to abdicate the honours of heroship, and to remain in quiet. But if there is one thing worse than to be a full-blown hero, it is to become a doubtful or disputed hero—in fact, to be Cardiganised ; to have one side swear you are'the won der of the age, and the other as stoutly aver that you a re no better than a sham and a deception, both probably being perfectly wrong. Lest I should go into this miser able predicament, once for all, I beg my friends to spare me. I must be allowed to be the best judge of my own case ; and now beforehand, and in order to prevent con troversy, I give that case against my friends, and declare their opponents must be perfectly right—not when they distort my words and acts, b ut when they say lam no hero." lIR SERJEANT SHER, M.P.-AN OPINION ON " THE HOUSE." Mr. Serjeant Shee was lately present.sat a local dinner, given at Buckie (a thriving seaport on the north-es i st ooast of Scotland), on the occasion of laying the coping-stone at the point of the western pier of the new harbour. • Mr. Serjeant Shee who is connected with the district by marriage, in reply to the toast of his health at the din ner, said :—" When I came into the House of Cominons, I confess that my impression was very dif f erent from. that which has lately been promulgated in Scotland.• I found it, composed of orators who would have held, if not the first rank, at least a place amongst the first in the earlie-t annals of our parliamentary history—of statesinen not only familiar with the interests of their own country. but with the power and the resources of all the empires and countries of the world—of lawyers of the first emi nence —of eminent merchants, manufacturers, and . bankers, whose mere signature would be the key to trea sures of wealth in every city in the known world—of a landed aristocracy who would bear comparison in intelli gence, patriotism, and independence with the aristocracy ofany colintrY9u_the face of the earth. My opinion of that house, I confess, was very different indeed - from that which younger men have lately expressed of it. 'I found that every man who had anything to the purpose to say— every man who had taken the trouble to prepare himself, and exhibited that reasonable diffidence which all well bred men will exhibit when they address an assembly com posed of persons of education, is sure of en attentive audi ence, that a fairer assembly does not exist in the known wuild than the House of Commons. For the presumptu ous and self•sulbcient, the loquacious without information —with nothing to attract attention about them but their presumption and their ignorance —there is no toleration, nor ought there to be ; but to every man who has any thing to say to the purpose, who knows what he is talking about, every encouragement is given by the House of Com mons. I have observed that the oldest members, and the most distinguished members of that house, are those who would be least likely to find fault with the well-meant in dustrious efforts of younger members to serve their con stituents and do good service to their country. They are not the men to sneer at persons members who have hobbies to ride upon ;' they are not the men to talk of persons in terms of disrespect who do their best for the service of their country."
