The justices, although disagreeing with recommendations to which the amendment would refer, expressed their anxious wish to carry out such new duties as might be im posed upon them. _ The Earl of CARNARVON then rose to move the following resolution, of which he had given notice at the Christmas sessions :—" That this Court do agree ; with the committee on prison discipline in the recommendations contained' in their report, and that a . committee, to consist of the several justices of the county prison, be appointed—that the, said report be referred to them for their guidance, any' that they do' frorii time to time report to the. ( 1 ^ ' progress made in carrying the same into OF: -end the. earl said it _ was his 'anxious le: - .-" ..:ect." The' noble justices, and to smooth " ':' ...en to' Meet the visiting which might Q'' - ' _ away any :points of antagonism Weeny- - • , -.et. His noble friend had adopted a very . eerent and very unusual mode of proceeding in framing his amendments on. th a MOt ion, send retaining them 'until the last moment, when it was impossible to give them full consideration:Oh that ground, • and also - on the pound that he had not- had time to consult manygentlemen who had served on the select committee by whom thereport had been prepared, he should be justified in declining to accept the amendments, but he must go a step further and say, that, having glanced at the amendments which had been handed to him, he could not accept them, because, their, adoption would practically put an end to the recOmmende ' -Cons containedin the report. ' The committee had been appointed to consider the whole subject,' and - Thad 'framed what he considered a satisfactory scheme, - Another com mittee suggested certain alterations in that scheme. Now he thought it was not too much to ask that the system which had been recommended should have a fair trial, and in the event of its failure he Should be perfectly ready to co-ope rate with his noble friend 'in 'obtaining - enlarged powers for the visiting-justices, or in procuring a modification of any of the principles laid down in the report. If -the amend ments were iew and trifling, as his noble frierd appeared to consider them, then they were.. superatteus.; but if they materially affected the substance of the report he trusted the Court would consider him right in pressing his motion to a division. Before proceeding further he Should be glad' to hear what his noble friend had to say in support of hit atnendments, and would'then endeavour to reply to him. (Hear.)_ He might, however, be permitted to state that lie had receiveda letter from Lord Shaftesbury, who was pre vented by indisposition from taking part in the proceedings, in which letter his noble friend ,expressed his anxiety to support the views - embodied in the report from the convic tions which he had arrived at clur:ng a long and arduous attention to the CVidence given before the committee of the House of Lords.. (Hear, hear.)-- • .. , , , • .. , The motion haring been seconded and put from the chair, Lord H. CHOLMONDELEY rose to propose his amend ments, the adoption of which he denied would be fatal to the report. They were as follows :—" That this Court do agree with.the committee on prison discipline in , the recom mendations• contained in their report, with the following amendments thereto :-1. That in special eases, to be re ported by chaplain to visiting justices and approved of by them, secular books be all Owed to Prisoners in the Ist and 2d classes. 2. That the visiting justices be instructed to make such arrangements of the prisoners' time as may in their opinion be desirable for carrying out the hard-labour scale, and also to fix the hours for school instruction ; but that they be recommended . te sonsicler,_ when making such arrangements, whether the whole. or any portion of such school instruction may not be advantageously given in the evening. 3. That as the introduction of guard or plank beds must be considered simply as an experiment, the visiting justices-be instructed-to order only a limited number of such , beds, not in the first instance to exceed 20, and thatsuch beds be used with or without mattresses, at the discretion of the visiting justices, but that they be directed to report froni time to time to the court, stating whether, in their opinion, it will be desirable to increase the number of beds, and to adopt fielly the suggestions of 'the select comtnittee with regard to the first and second classes of prisoners. 4. That, in the opinion of the Court, it is not desirable at present to take any steps for the restoration of the stalls in the 'chapel, but that the visiting justices he requested to mal4e such arrangements as they may judge expedient for preVenting more effectually all communication, but that no. alteration 'be made in the daily attendance 'of pri soners. 5. 'That the table in the appendix be re-arranged, in order to meet the alterations .now adopted by the Court. With respect to the first resolution, the . visiting justices were of opinion that there were prisoners to whom it was really necessary to give secular books, and all the justices required was that they might have the power to grant such books in special cases reported to them by the chaplain. If.the Court adopted that suggestion he could assure them that the indulgence would not be abused. With respect to the second amendment he was really-at a loss to understand how his noble friend could consider it fatal to the report. The object in, view was, that the hours of instruction should be fixed ; but that would be taking out of the hands of the justices a power which they ought to be allowed to retain, He would not say whether it was good or bad to let instructionbe given in the evening—but in his opinion the arrangements ought to be left in the hands of , the justices. The third amendment referred to the experiment which ought, lathe first instance, to be tried on a small scale — and he thought it would be extremely unwise to order 50 or 60 plank beds to begin with. All that tine justices to . quired was to be allowed to try the 'experiment -on a smaller scale than that recommended by his noble friend . . With regard to the fourth amendment he felt very. strongly, and was of opinion that the justices ought to be allowed to make such arrangements as they deemed expe dient for preventing more effectually the communication of prisoners with each other. Whatever the Court might de termine upon the justices would endeavour to carry out to the best of their ability. 'The most important part of the proposition of his noble friend was that relating to hard labour, and that the justices were fully prepared to carry out. He doubted whether it would have the effect desired by his noble - friend, but if that should prove to be the case he'would be one :of the first to congratulate him on the alteration. He doubted whether the change proPotied would have the effect of reducing the number of prisoners ; for on looking over the Lords' report it was somewhat remarkable that in,those, prisons where the labour was most severe there were the largest number of re-commitments. (Hear.) The aniendments were seconded' by Mr. CHUTE. , . Lord SOMERTON objebted to the'aniendrnerits, which, he said, struck 'at the root of the 'whole :matter, particularly those rela'tiig to ‘school instruction and separation in the ~chapel.,.,. Those, gentlemen, _ who supported the amendments ought to consider what the result of their op.. p e ' s itime might be. The minima embodied in the report ware not only the opinions, of the e nobleeerl and his corn 'mttee, but the opinions ofithe conenxittee .of , the lickuae of _Lords, the opinions of the Royal commission on penal servi tude, and the opinions of many of the judges of the land, aridespecially' of the - toid_ChielJuitice, '(bear' hear.) lie ' had heard' some objections stated ea 'to the niim'ber'abinits ploposed-for labour. The number proposed was ten. Some persons had vete au far as to say thaitt,auch an amount of labour would have a senous.effeat on the m4lll'ol the.-Pn- sorters, but in the rerne orthe House of Lords' committee it appeared that in,some cases, exclusive of other labour, prisoners were employed nearly nine hours on the treadimill. He, therefore, thought the proposition of the noble earl ex . tremely moderate. (Hear, hear.) Mr ESDAILE said the only desire of the Court was to show a proper feeling ,of respect to the committee which had pre sented midi an able report, and to visiting justices, who had always so ably discharged their. duty,. (14eakehear.) He would suggf st that the 'Court should express their thanks to the committee for the report which they had presented, . . and refer that report to the visiting justices to carry it out in their descretion from time - to time as they might think fit. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BEACH, said the noble earl had invited the justices to reconsider the present system. The visiting justices had shown a desire to enter calmly into the details of the'recommendatians which, had been made, in mot of which details the, chairman of the visiting justices commit 7 tee, had acquiesced. There were several matters in which great latitude was left to the justices, The question of plank beds must be left to their discretion., and as to- instruc tion in the evenings, he thought they miglA.try whether it would 'operate beneficially, and then report to the Court The resolution did noturder them to carry out any details. They were simply. Palled upon to parry the recommenda ions contained in the report into,effect to the best, of, their ability and power; and he was sure that no one would have any reason to' cbtoplain of their want of zeal and dis cretion in carrying out these recommendations. He thought the report ought to be adopted as it stood, suacien9atttude being left to the justiceS to exercise their own discretion in the matter. (Hear, hear.) Lord .11BYTESBURY expressed his concurrence' in the views of the last speaker._ Mr. BERNARD said one of the evils complained of by the Lords' committee was' the Want of uniformity in prison dis cipline, and he tiid not tbink•that the adoption of the report would at all tend to remove amt. afficulty. If the report should be adopted in its entirety, in what situation would some of the prisons be ? PrisOners tried at' Winchester and sent to Portsmouth or Southampton would receive very different sorts of_punishpent front those imprisoned at Win cheater. If the discipline recommended by the noble earl was proper it ought to be adopted g enerally. He believed that the Secretary for the Home Department was taking some steps in the matter, for. he had directed returns to be made with respect to the diet in prisons ;; and,, under these circumstances, he would suggest the propriety of postponing, the further consideration of the matter 'for the present; Mr. CLA.TEII, BOOTH, 4.P., believed that the time had arrived for making prison discipline more stringent, and felt greatly'Obliged to the noble earl for the part which he had taken in the matter,' but felt' that great deference was dne to the opinions of the gentlemen who had had the maa nagemeut of the prison for ao many Ylara, and the Court ought no`t'to bome to a"7;ote which would place them in an unpleasant position. (Hear, hear.) He should he ilia if s h u e p f p e o l r t t. that So the Court could separate without coming to a vote.

(Heal, hear.) Mr. H. Gontioi lieliebed !that it was the wish of the Court that the report should be carried oat within the lati tude indicated by the amendment. 'Whether the object would be obtained by the adoption of the motion with that understanding, or whether it would be better to adopt .the amendments, might be a ,matter of arrangement! But if the carrying, of the amendment would be equivalent to the rejection of the report, he would vote for the original mo tion. .(Hear, hear) „ • • The Earl of CARNARVON eangratulated the, Court on the moderate tone'Which the discussioh had assumed. Various propositions had been mope With the view of bringing about woompleteSgreement, and- the Court must be satin fled if it obtained an agreement in reality, and not look too Much to teehnicalAgrefment in words. It had been sug gested that the consideratiOn Of the' report should be de layed until some' stepaTiverntakety bi central authority. It was hardly necessary to discuss that point. The Court was of opinion that some action ougnt to be taken, and if they were' to wait until th Secretary of State proposed a uniform system, they, would have to wait a very long time. (Hear, hear.) A proposition had been made that the report should be referred to the visiting justices for them to re port upon. - • • • -• Mr. ESDAILE said what he had suggested , was that the justices should take into consideration the report of the special committee, and carry out such parts of it as they should 'deem -advisable, 'and report - thereon from time to The Earl of CARNARVON—That would give the visiting lustices entire discretion to scratch out every line of the • to remain there." (Hear; 'and laughter). Now, it was not desirable that such an impression should get abroad amongst the labouring classes. Offenders ought to receive the punishment to which they were sentenced, and not be tester treated than an honest man earning Bs. a week and supporting himself and his family by his own honest industry. (Hear, hear.) Lord H. CH6LMONDELEY, after a few remarks in ex planation, withdreiv hislirstand third resolution, and the second and fourth were put to the vote, the number of the magistrates, being recorded, Lord EVERSLEY, on casting up the number, declared them to be— For Lord Carnarvon's motion For the amendment l9 Majority —2B The original motion was, therefore, carried; and, the other business having been disposed of, The Court adjourned. • The Chancellor of the Exchequer in Flintshire. BUCKS COUNTY ELECTION, report; and ho should plaCe' not only himself but the cone mittee andthe Court it &Also position it he agreed to such a proposition. (Hear, hear.) ..On the ether. hand, if the pro position of Mr. Esdaile did not go, so far, it was only assert ing, in'othef WordS;` what had' been . ass r umed. ' lie did not think that there was anything unreasonably binding's:on the justices in his resolution, and believed that itconveyed every reasonable latitude that ought to be given.. It had been stated that when the report was laid on the table a proinise was. giventhat therstibject should be brought forivard - In a string of resolutions. No such promise had been: given by him; bat he would go so far as to say that such had been hie intention, and he ihOuld 'have'dene so had the - chairman of the justices been-able to meet, and had he not been driven to the necessity of acting for himself on account of the pres sure of time. The whole point of Lord Cholmondeley's ob servations was this, that it was unwise to pledge the Court by the adoption of this report to any precise' details.- - Bat the Court were not drawing up enact of Parliament or spe• cifying every little detail ! which might be necessary for car rying out the seheme: ' (Hear, hear.) This was a matter between the Caurtand thejustiCes. If they accepted in ' a frank ,manner, she, spirit of these recommendations all petty questions of detail might, be easily and satisfactorily settled, If the justices met withdifficulties the Court might assist in removing thoief difficialties by enlarging their powers. The proposals which, had been made for agreement • were alto Fist identical with this _resolution, and if they only meant that they were etiPeiflious and worse than super fiaons, because they would thiow . suspicion du the re- ports, and imply, that ; ,there; was some secondary motive beyond that which was apparent, he ,helieved the adop. Lion; of 'the amendments would' be " injurious to the re peril. They were of two classes. The first and the thira referred to matters of detail, and they were scarcely worthY of objection;, with regard to the plank bedie he never had any intention of binding the justices clomp to any particular 'number. All he desired was that the !experiment should be tried. (Hear, hear.) But the other two; points were of great importance—the questions of evening i ns truction and - the' chapel arrangements. With regard to,the question of instruction, the proposition of the justices was this—that the whole or a portion of such in strUction c ould not be advantageously given in the evening. The proposition in the report was not to give instruction in theklay, but in the evening. Now he was at a loss to un deretand what objection could be urged to evening instruct tiori. That system was a practiCal one, It had been tried and it had succeeded. In the Irish convict prisons it 'had been the practice to limit instruction to the evenings, and every one knew that the system had answered. And he • could, from perso nal in qu ir y , bear testimony to the fact that such a system was agreeable to the prisoners. But he would' go a step further, and say that he objected to instruction be4ig given in the day. Instruction given during working hoitrs was vicious, in principle. These hours ought to be deyioted to work and nothing but work. Prisoners were corlimitted to prison not to be educated, but in the first in. sten ° ce to be punished. Punishment was the primary con sderation, Instruction ought only - to be a *secondary one. (H ar.). The Court had alwa y s shown a defere nce for the °Pi ion. of Parliament , a nd whe n , t h ey f o und. that two bo ies differently constitute d—a committee o f the House of Lo de and a Royal comm ission ,' preSided over b y Lord Gr y—had . without concert an d communicat ion come to an identical recommendation with respect to evening instruction, he thought that fact ought to have considerable weight with the Court. (Hear, hear.) 'With regai:d to the chapel the visiting justices recommended that no steps shOuld be taken. The report recommended that with a view to render communication more difficult the Court sheuld' agree to re-stall the chapel, but supposing the ex pense too heavy to be incurred at this moment they sug geested that the alternate seats should be vertical. But the recommendaton and . the alternative had both been re jected by the justices, although they admitted they present "system to be unsatisfactory. -It had been said that the car ry ng out of the report .would be attended with great ex pease, but he entertained a very different opinion, and en;ered into some statistics to show that the amount ex. pe ded in the employment of an increased number of- officers to arry out a really deterrent system would be more than "co pensated by the reductions in the number of recommit ta . To show UT lightly the present system was treated, th? noble earl mentioned an instance in which a labourer on hie release from Winchester, on being asked what he thought of the treatment, replied, " You can hardly tell how g odnatured and kind and civil they are, they weighed my fo d for me every morning ; they came every day an d asked if had anything to complain of and if I desired "a n y alte r ion to be made; and if it had not been for the desire of , sing my wife and family I should have had no objection Last evening the ` Chancellor Of the Exchequer delivered an address to the members of the.reading7 room at Buckley, Flintshire. Sir Stephen Glynue occupied the chair, and the room was well filled.: Mr. Gladstone, after referring to the in3metliate object which had called them together—the inau guration of a working man's' reading-room—said there was a striking resemblance between the na tural habits of animals and men. It was natural for the animal to divide its time between labour, food, and slaep. So it ought to be with Man ; but man ought also to give a portion of his time to in e telleetual pursuits. What were the competitors with these i institutions for the employment of the spare time of the labouring man ? There was the public-,house, and, theugh he would not speak in extz erne language of those houses, as was : the prae tics of some, they would no doubt agree with him that the public-house was not a desirable place for ee labouring man to spend that portion of his time which was not required for food or sleep, and that schools and reading-rooms were greatly preferable. Having spoken_further upon the general question Of the utility of working men's educational institu tions of the kind they were then, inaugurating, Jae dwelt upon the means which working men generally possessed for forming them. , He ob e,erved that Englishmen were_ not by far so thrifty as the inhabitants of Scotland and Wales; • •but not only , were ' Englishmen less thrifty than Scotchmemor Welshmen, but they-were less thrifty than the French. labouring man, while the latter got alto 30 per cent. less wages than the former. It had been for many years the desire and effort of the legislature of this country to do what they could to induce -the labouring classes of this country to be'thrifty and careful, and with this ob ject they had established the Post-office Savings Banks, so 'that nothing now was wanting but the disposition to be provident, and that disposition, al though it could- not be supplied by an Ant of Pdelia ment, might be greatly encouraged by such facili tie); for imvestment h' thbse to which he had referred. They' Could not possibly confer upon *men of an independent free community like ours a greater blessing than that of enabling them to serve and help themselves. The right hon. gentleman referred at some length to the virtue of thrift, recommending it for the reasons that it enabled labouring men to put out their children to trades and businessee, and also prepared them for a rainy day. Savings banks had been in existence for nearly a quarter of a cen tury, and £40,000,000 had bleu deposited with them —that amount being almost entirelythe property of the working classei„ Post-office . savings banks had now been established, with the , object not, of rivalling any other institution, ' but of en c o ur ag i ng as much as ~ , • possible the efforts of ' the working classes to save their money and to secure for themselves a safe depository for their savings. These banks, of which there'were3,oooi'n the country, were exactly adapted to the requirements; of the, labouring population, who did not want to deposit any hut small eums, and who, having perhaps no secure placein which to keep their money, could place it there, where it would not 'be 'taken away, as it might be when temptation came if kept in ' the house. Another advantage which these banks presented was that, While there were 3,000 of them, the depositor put his money into but one bank. The Bank of England. had branches in different parts of the country into which persons might :pay . money and receive it at any other bank.. So it was with these 3,000 Post office Savings Banks. If a man put, money into any one of these 3,000 banks, he could draw it out from any other of them. When first the system was introduced it was not liked, because some people said that the Government wanted the people to take their money to the Pest-office Savings Bank, and then the Goyernment, knowing how much money the labouringolasees possessed, would impose some tax or otherwhieh did not then exist. Bat the fact was, that the Post-office authorities, although they had to receive the money, dare not tell anybody the amountedeposited. - -There was therefore no oppote Innity, for the inland revenue officer to know- he exact amount deposited; and then report it to Govern ment. Oue thipg which kept some people away from these banks was a fear that they coula not make their deposits without * the risk of their accounts being, peeped into by other people. He crad not believe the old savings banks were very particular about this, for they had not .the means of enforcing the strictest eeeresy, ,because it was desirable that the trustees and managers should be cognisant of the deposits made. : , In the . Post-effice Savings Banks the Legislature had endeavoured .to meet this difficulty as much as possible, and only one person, the postmaster, was 'authorised to see the accounts, while he was forbidden by law to disclose to any one the names of depositors. Some people did not like,Post-office Saving Banks, as he had before observed, ; because the. Government would try to ascertain through them how much more taxing the people could bear ; but he considered himself guiltless of any scheme of that kind, and if there had beeti ail' elicit intentibri on the Part of the Goyernmentethe law Would have been that the post master should make's rettiert 011ie Inland Revenue Office of the amounts deposited. Onegreat benefit in connection with the Post-office Savings Banks was, that all the peoperterof the country was liable 1 fo and ,if depositors' money, anif one, ten, twenty, or fifty 'postmasters were to run away with the money in their hands, the depositors would not be affected id 'the slightest degree: • His total would remain exactly where it was, and his mope) , ,would berePaid him, notwithstanding the default of the postmaster.. After some further remarks, the right hod. gentleman concluded amidst loud applause. • - XtEPORTED Loss OF A LARGE PASSENGER SEIII . ..AdVices were received on Saturday report .. ing the sUpposed - lossOt Was . believed, .of , a large .passenger ship in the 'vicinity 'Of the' .

The room was well ffilti, .and Mr. Harvey was supported, as on the day of nomination, by a strong and influential body of friends. _ _ .. • The High shdriff (Mr. P. C. LOVETT) said it now became his duty to declare the result of the polling, which was ar; fOilows : Harvey 2,311 Lee • Majority for Harvey The numbers were received with loud cheering from Mr. Harvey's fritnes. The High Sheriff then deClared Mr. R. B. Harvey duly elected to represent the county of Buckingham in Parlia ment—(cheers)-7-and personally congratulated him • upon his success, wishing him health and happiness long to enjoy his honotiri. Mr. HARVEY then stepped forward to address the elec tors, and was_received with loud cheers. He said it would be base ingratitude on his part if he attempted to conceal or refrained from expiessing the pride he felt at the result of the contest. He did not look upon it as a conquest over one indiNidual, but as a decided Conservative triumph. Their predictions had been fulfilled ; the old cause was triumphant; but let them render their victory more com plete by holding their ground, and resisting any attempt for the future to wedge in a Liberal for the county. If one so young as he might presume to offer advice to his venerable opponent; it would be that for the future he left out of his addresses the statement that he had never put the candi- dates in any county to expense. (Hear.) His good friend might offer him a cheque, to which he might say, " No." (A voice, I'm sure he will.") He did not think he would, when on New Year's -moral he 6ortittalletv'ttirvateretto walk to the poll—blue and buff,ilideed they were—(laughter) —while he (Dir.llarvey), like another Levite, was obliged to pass them by. (Laughter.) As that was a time of peace and goodwill, let him hope that if any bitter feelings had been aroused in the contest they would now be all forgot- ten. (Hear, hear.) He was proud to be the member for Bucks. He went to Parliament not as the representative of one party, but as the accredited representative of all. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that whenever the time came he would be found at his post, and that the seat he had now obtained would never be sullied by defeat in future years, (Cheers.) Dr. LEE then came forward, and was received with cheers, He wished all a happy new year, and then addressed him- self to the ladies who were present. lie was the only one of all the speakers during the election who had condescended to notice the ladies. Not one of the boasting Conservatives —(laughter)—thought them worthy of notice ; but no doubt if the galleries were filled with hares and pheasants, they would have been glad to have caught hold of them and put them in their preserves. (Laughter.) He appeared be fore them in the great case of Harvey v. Lee, charged with high crimes and misdemeanours for having put his oppo nent to some expense. He could not congratulate himself norhis friends on the reault - of the election. (A laugh.) He did not regret having continued the contest, as it was done with the view of giving the Liberal electors of,Bucking hamshire an opportunity of recording their votes, and of preventing the county from'falling into the hands of parties whom they-must consider as the enemies of all true pro gress. In this contest be had no paid agencies, he had. not asked an individual for a vote ; had used no intimidation, no coercion, no persuasion. The conduct of his opponent was a complete contrast to that.- He had left no exertions untried ; no. legal practitioner unretained ; gamekeepers, smokers, drinkers, and all the o. her electioneering agen cies had been called into requisition . ; many a bottle of champagne had had its neek broken in support of his cause. (A laugh.) He (Dr. Lee) attributed his defeat to the admirable electioneering tactics of his opponent, and to tho alMost total absence of those who were gene rally styled the Liberals of the county. They had de fiertedliirq in his utmost need. (Laughter, and a Voice, "They didn't want you.") He had been asked how he dared come forward to oppose the brother-in-law of the Duke of Buckingham—it was ungentlemanly on his part to oppose ; him —he had no chance—he would put Mr. Harvey to great expense, and so forth. His answer to all that was that he calculated neither relationship nor expense, He held certain principles, and was determined to go to the poll with them. He would not b intimidated either by Whig or Tory. If he saw oppression going on in a Whig house, he would sooner vote for an honest, independent Tory than a grinding, base Whig. (Cheers and laughter) In conclu sion, he thanked those Liberals who had supported him, ex pressing his pleasure at the absence of all personal and hos tile feeling during the election, and wished his friends awl his opponents all health and happiness. Mr. HARVEY then moved , and Dr. LEE seconded, a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his just, able, and impar tial condud While iu the chair. This was carried with aoolamation, and the Him" SHERIFF briefly returned thanks. Mr. W. S. LOWNDES then called for three cheers for the ladies, which, being heartily responded to, Dr. LEE humorously moved, as an amendment, that no such honour should come trora,the Tories. The proceedings then terminated. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS, During the last three or-four days, contrary to the no tions which the previous mild state of the weather created, a sudden change took place, accompanied with a sharp and bitter frost, which in that brief period cut up entirely or spoiled the foliage of many still standing plants, and de. stroyed for a time the growth of gardeners' stock intended for the London markets, Yesterday evening the thermo meter was two degrees below freezing point. • The Royal Humane Society, anticipating from the prog nostics that the frost is likely to last with the same severity and quite as long as it did in 1813-14, have gone to the ex pense of providing a very warm, expensive, and well-ap pointed uniform for the men employed on the ice during the time they are watching the danger that may possibly befal many who are always ready to disport themselves upon the ice, regardless of the risk they run, even when the ice, as at the present time, is in a very insecure condition. Further provision for the restoration of the apparently drowned has been made by Mr. Young, the secretary, and Mr. Superintendent Williams, who have had some canvas tents made, so as to form temporary canvas hospitals, such as were used in the Crimea. These are fitted up with hot water baths and medicine chests. The society's surgeons, who usually attend difficult cases in Hyde-park, Kensing ton-gardens, and the Regent's. park, now that the tempo rary tent hospitals are erected, have signified their willing ness to do all they are able to attend upon immersed per• sons. Deputy-Superintendent Perry, an old officer of the so ciety, has been placed in charge of a number of icemen in St. James's-park, and it was fortunate they were there, for the ice, especially at the end of the lake nearest the Horse Guards, had only just formed sufficiently thick to deceive the more venturesome—but in spite of the cautions given by the society's men, a number managed to get by stealth through the trees, and the consequences were that, ' in the course of a very short time, some 25 to 30 men and boys became immersed. Fortunately they were all rescued by the Royal Humane Society's men. The Royal hound Pond, Kensington Gardens—At an early hour in the morning Mr. Superintendent Williams, by the order of Mr. Young, had three men belonging to the society placed on duty here. They were provided with ropes, drags, sledges, breaker-ladders, atd life-buoys. The reason for so doing was that this favourite place was com pletely besieged, and about 3,Q00 persons disported them selves upon the ice, which, although tolerably firm, is far from being sufficiently strong to bear so great a number at present. Several severe accidents occurred during the day by persons falling upon their heads upon the ice, but no immersion worth recording occurred. The Long Water, Kensington Gardens—A number of the!society's men have been placed on duty here, to prevent persons from venturing upon the frozen surface, which was considered to be in a very dangerous condition. On thetupper end of the Long Water, which is considered the most secure, the ice gave way in several parts, and several persons were immersed, but they were happily all rescued. The total number of sliders and skaters upon this piece of water during the day was estimated by Mr, Superintendent Williams'at 2,500. Amongst those who had a good duck ing was one of the Horse Guards, who, booted and spurred, was enjoying himself at "circuitous sliding" —a half-circle slide. The Regent's Park —Sliding and skating commenced in earnest at this park from an early hour in the morning. The broad open water was partially frozen over, but there are several pools of open water which render the place, upon the whole, far from being secure. By directions of Deputy Superintendent Parsons, the skaters and sliders were driven to the " gut" facing the society's tent, where they skated and slid away towards the entrance of Marylebone Church. Skating and sliding also went on with full vigour on the narrow waters near the suspension-bridges, but a great many fell into deep water ; they were rescued, and taken to the tent, where, under proper treatment, they recovered. The ice on the Grand Surrey Canal and the Crystal Palace lakes is about an inch and a half in thickness. The Victoria Park bad also a great number of patrons, btat nothing of a serious character occurred. REPRESENTATION OF MALDON.—Mr. H. J. Selwin, a son-in-law of the late Lord Lyndhurst, is announced as a candidate for the representation of Maldon at the next general election. At the present time the borough is represented by Mr. Peacock, a Conservative, and Mr. Western, a Liberal. Mr. Selwin is a Conservative. .tom- 7.1P tr i I SHAKSPEARE CELEBRA It is now pretty generailyknown past few mouths a movement has taken pai.l4ntai commemorate the three-hundredth birthiay of Shak speare—April 23, 1864—bylal leg the „first stone of a monument to the immortal bard in same censpi cuous part of London.

The general committee, already numbering upwards of 400 members, in cludes names the most eminent in literature, art, science, law, the church, diplomacy, and cotrmerce. Up to the present the meetings of the committee have been strictly of a private character. Yester day afternoon the members met at the rocms of the Society of Arts, Adelphi. Amongst thole present were the secretaries and some 50 members . of the general committee. On the' motion of W. HEPWORTH D:xoN, Esq., Mr. Braoebridge, of Stratfordeupon-Avov, was voted to the chair. FRED. HAINES, Esq., read the minutes of the meeting of Dec. 7. Part of the proceedings of this meeting was a motion , for inviting the late Mi. Thackeray to become one of the vice-presidents ; which motion, on a mere matter of form, was op posed and negatived by a vote of 22 to 9. On the motion that these minutes be confirmed, Mr: VIZITELLY apposed it on the ground that the numbers had been inaccurately recorded, as more than 9 had been in favour of the proposition to in vite Mr. Thackeray to become one of the vice-presi dents. His amendment, however, was not seconded. W. HEPWORTH DIXON, Esq,, said before the minutes were confirmed he would submit a Sugges tion which the meeting might or might not adopt. He for one should infinitely egret that there should remain on the records of a committee like theirs any such entry as that to which reference had been made. (Hear.) That proposition, he believed, was made in haste. It was said, on one side, that there was a misapprehension with regard to the character of it. He was perfectly certain that under the circum stances all regretted that it had been made. (Hear, hear.) He expressed an individual opinion when he said that he never thought of contesting Mr. Thackeray's high claims or his right to any. place on that .committee. to which_ they thought pro per to appoint him. He believed the whole thing had arisen in a misapprehension about the form in which the invitation should be sent. He would therefore propose that the •ehair man be authorised to erase that entry from the minntes before confirming 'them, so that the book which would certainly some day be deposited in the British Museum, and remain as a permanent record of the committee, should not bear on the face of it an entry which was the result of haste, and which was certainly a matter of very profound regret. 'Hear, hear.) 11Ir. GEORGE CRUIKSHANK seconded the resolu- A lengthened discussion took place on this propo sition, in which Mr. Bell, Mr. Ottley, Mr. Theodore Martin, Mr. Vizitelly, Mr. Gruneisen, Mr. Tomlins, and Mr. Stirling Coyne took part. The deepest regret was expressed on all hands that such an entry should under the lamentable cir cumstances of Mr. Thackeray's death, have been 'made, and there was a general concur rence in the statement of Mr. Dixon, that it had occurred on a mere question of form as to whether Mr. Thackeray should be invited to become a vice president before it was known whether he would be willing to accept. It was thought that the case should be met by a declaratory resolution, and not by an erasure of the minutes. In this view the minutes were first confirmed by the meeting, and then C. L. Grnneisen, Esq., submitted the following resolution, which being duly seconded, was, after considerable discussion, eventually carried ; " That the general committee deeply deplore the premature decease of Mr. Thackeray, and regret that circum stances should have occurred to prevent the enrol ment of his name in the list of vice-presidents. W. HEPWORTH DIxoN, Esq., then announced the following additions to the committee since the last meeting:—To the list of vice-presidents—Earl Granville, KG., and the Lord Mayor. To the Com mittee—The Right Hon. the Lord Provost of Bain burgh, the Mayor of Arundel, the Mayor of Bolton, the Mayor of Chichester, the Recorder of Durham, the Mayor of Kendal, the Mayor of Northumber land, the Sheriff of Mid-Lothian, the Provost of Stirling, Sir Robert Phillimore, Q.C. D.C.L., ,Queen's Advocate; the Hon. the Chief Justice of British Guiana, Sir Richard Hill, K.C.8., Col. de Bathe, Sir F. Madden, K.H., F.R.S., J. B. Davis, Esq., M.D., F.S.A., H. G.

Martin, Esq., Alfred Mellon, Esq., H. A. Wright, Dq . ., James Anderson, Esq., Rev. Thomas Corser, George Petrie, Esq., LL.D., James Spence, Esq., Liverpool, George King, Esq. He said he had also to submit to them a report on the general state of the committee, an exposition of its ideas and of its organisation, with a view to making the first public statement which they had ever yet attempted up to the present time. All their meetings had been private, and nothing had been allowed to transpire except through the accredited secretaries, who had been appointed to ref ort such official formal facts as they were instructed to do. The question of publicity had to a great extent, however, been taken out of their hands, as some of the members had made matter of public report the common transactions of this private committee. It had becnm e absolutely necessary, therefore, for the committee itself to assume publicity. It was pro posed that a public statement should be Inede of their ideas and organisation, wh ich statement he would submit to them for their ultimate adoption. The hon. gentleman then read an address, setting forth the ideas and organisation of the commi ttee, as at present existing, a resume of their opera,,rons, and a classified list of the mo st emiuen u t bl lll " em Another long discussion o f no icbein,, re p. int er est took place on this report., resulting in its ferred back to the execntivo t lowing resolution :—" That t the draft t t p h u e t f f o o r l : ward on behalf of the c t o o m e m a printed, and a copy sent icthteemeb,mebeforr of the in j g o e u n r e o r e a d i cooomtiimitt3oene,dasyn d ue t h x a t ttot D m si e d e e t t i n t g h e s t b a a n: t l i e a . d- Th e meeting therev.pon adjourned. i 47 74 k.; tr-1 t 14.7 ■ .9 lS 0 i 9 0 19 0 19 0 20 0 IS 0 , Collo ~ e 9~ 012 ire, asav
