About 30 persons only were present, and of those a number were landlords, and some belonged to the city." Mr. Watts, a. tenant-farmer, volunteered an expla nation, and he said, "I am sorry that our club is continuing to fall off, and that the attendance at our meetings has been so small. But, gentlemen, I told you last year the reason of this, namely, the unwil lingness of many landlords to help their tenantry in -these times - of difficulty and distress." He then w emit on to.say—" I am aware that many land surveyors will advise their employers not to grant leases. The reason is obvious; instead of these men being called upon once in seven years, they perhaps will not be called upon to value the same farm more than once in twenty-one years.—(Laughter.) I hope the time is not far distant when every good farmer will be pro tected by a fair lease, and at such a rent as the prices of produce,_permanently reduced as they undoubtedly are, will enable him to pay."—(Heaf, hear.) So that it seemed, after all, when the farmer wanted relief, he did not look to rent. He knew there was a margin there that could be borrowed upon. They had been told—he dared say Mr. Cobden had been frequently told—" If you were to abolish rents altogether, the farmers could not afford to farm their lands under a re peal of the corn:laws..7.The.y.did not say so at this meet--tmg of whiCh he was reading. 'They had not said a wor d about "special burdens' either. Here was no t a word said about the poor-rate, nor about the seasons, nor about any other difficulties whatever.--(Cheers.) The only remark made by this tenant-farmer was, that he wanted a lease, and that he wanted it at a fair rent.—(Hear, hear.) And that was the whole ques tion. Now, what was it the farmers were afraid of at 'the present moment from a repeal of the corn laws ? Was it low prices ? Why, they had the low prices now; prices were low. They said they wanted a lowering of rent. But he asked them would they ever get that lowering of rent until the corn-law was abolished ?—(No, no.) Would there ever be a general adjustment of rent between the landlord and his tenant throughout the kingdom until there was a total abolition of protection ? Never. As a proof that he was not speaking without authority when he said this, what did Lord Liverpool say when the corn-law was passed ? He said—" If you do not pass this corn-law, there will be a general aajustment of re n t s between landlords and tenants all over the kingdom, and the farmer, will start afresh upon a new basis."— (Applause.) That would be the state of things now if the corn-laws were repealed.—(Hear, hear.) The League proposed to do all in its power to accomplish what these farmers were asking for, and therefore he would say that the League was emphatically the farmer's friend. There never would be a more favourable time for repealing the corn-laws than this. We were often told by the present State physician, Sir Robert Peel, " Your proposition may be very reasonable in principle; but this is not the time."—(Laughter.) Now he defied them, if ever they meant to repeal the corn-laws, to point to any future time which could be more favourable. Prices were already moderate, there would be no change in the position of the far mer in that respect. Labourers were not now thrown out of employment because prices were reduced, but there was growing up from various causes a greatly increased demand for labour.—(Hear.) But what a nonsensical argument it was about throwing labourers out of employment by the repeal of the corn-laws. Labourers could only be thrown out of employment, and he supposed they meant by the term thrown out of bread, by the land going out of cultivation. Now, he would take the most extreme case that could possibly be imagined, that of a great number of acres of land being thrown out of culti vation, and, as they said, a great number of labourers being thrown out of employment. Why, there would only be three labourers employed on one acre of land ; and did any human being who was fit to be at large mean to assert that these three men could not, by their own industry, live out of these 100 acres of land which it is alleged would be thrown out of cultivation, whether the corn-laws were re pealed or not ?—(Loud cheers.) He held in his hand a book that had just been published in London, namely, a report of an association for " Promoting the relief of Destitution in the Metropolis, and for improving the condition of the Poor by means of i parochial c e an a d nd dis d tr i i r c e t visiting, u etionor the the eßishop supeanr d clergy." Now, this was a report of the Lord Bishop of London, and they were entitled to have a little conversation with the Bishop of London on the corn-laws, not because he was a bishop, but because as a legislator he was an assenting party to their existence. In this report he said, "In the course of this investigation it soon appeared, that whatever might be she severity of the immediate pres sure, a still greater and more alarming evil existed in its cause. It was found, on investigation, that the condition of the labouring classes in too many in stances exhibited a downward tendency, arising from pauperism. Whether this tendency might be ascribed to the competition in trade, the manifold interruptions to which so vast a traffic as that of Great Britain is unavoidably exposed, and the consequent fluctuations in wages and uncertainty of employment, or whether, in particular districts, it might be traced to circum stances affecting the immediate locality alone, the fact remained the same." Now, the Bishop said a more alarming evil existed in the cause of all these disasters. A very sensible remark.—(Applause and laughter.) Perhaps it might be thought wrong to say that the Bishop himself was a cause.—(Laughter.) But unless we were totally wrong in all our conclusions, the Bishop of London, by not testifying his disapprobation of the corn-laws in the House of Lords—unless we That the rate of Exchange at which they will receive Cash for Rills on Bengal and Madras will, from tho present date and until fur ther notice, be IS. 9d. the Company's Rupee ; and for Bills on Bom bay, Is. 91d. the Company's Rupee.

RAWSON, Treasurer. The _ announcement of the balance in hand of 26,6751. _l9s. 9d. was received with loud and reiterated bursts of cheering. Mr. HrcaiN, the Secretary, then read the minutes of the preliminary special general meeting of the Council, held that afternoon, at which the report and accounts above given having - been read and approved, the fol lowing resolution was also passed :—" That this meeting of the General Council of the Anti-Corn-law League having received very full and detailed reports of the proceedings of the Executive Council in Man chester expresses its perfect satisfaction with those proceedings, its warm gratitude for the, patriotic, self denying, and most laborious exertions of the Council in the great cause of free trade, and requests them to continue their labours in directing the future ope rations of the League." The CHAIRMAN said 'Mr. Baines would now move The CHAIRMAN then called upon the Secretary to read the report of the Council and the treasurer's financial statement of accounts, of which the follow ing are copies : " The report which the Council have now to submit to their constituents extends over a period of fifteen months, om 'September 28, 1843, to the 3I st December, 1844, " In the address presented at the meeting in Covent • garden Theatre, September 28, 1643, the Council ex plained the course of action it proposed for the future, and the distinguishing feature of this plan was the de termination to make the movement essentially an elec toral one. " To give effect to the extensive operations here pro posed, the Council having a full reliance on the zeal and co-operation of their countrymen, asked for a contribu tion of one hundred thousand pounds, a sum which, whilst it would furnish evidence of the increasing in fluence of free-trade:opinionS, would be sufficient to meet the estimated expenditure of the League. " In conformity with this plan, the whole of England and Wales was divided into thirteen electoral districts. To each of these districts a competent agent was ap pointed by the Council, whose duty it Was personally and repeatedly to visit each borough hi his district, to pro mote and superintend the formation of local registra tion committees, and to give advice and render assistance in all matters relating to the registration, and, wherever practicable, to secure the appointment of an active local Agent, having a knowledge of the law and practice of the revision courts. It was also his duty to make perio• dical returns of the state of each constituency, and of the means available for increasing the strength of the free-traders on the register. "" Under this arrangement 160 boroughs in England and • Wales have been; visited during the past year. The Council have obtained a mass of information which will enable them to direct their future efforts with greater efficiency, while the returns already in their possession show an undoubted gain in 112 of the boroughs thus acted upon, and in many of these the improvement ou the register is such as to ensure the return of free traders in the place of monopolists, in the event of an election. the report ; but before he did so, perhaps the meet ing would allow him to make one explanation with respect to the fund. When they first launched the address in which they asked from the country a con tribution of 100,000/., they had it in contemplation to raise a large portion of that amount by a bazaar, to be held in Covent-garden Theatre, but that bazaar had not yet been held.—(Hear.) The amount re ceived, therefore, was quite as much as they had an ticipated. They proposed still to hold the bazaar, and he had no doubt the amount then received would carry them far beyond the sum originally expected. —(Loud cheers.) ' " EDWARD BAINES, Esq., jun., Leeds, then moved— " That the report of the procedings of the General Council of the League, which has now been read, be adopted and con fi rme d by the meeting." LAWRENCE HEYWORT/I, Esq., of Liverpool, se conded the resolution, which was carried with loud cheering. • T. M. GIBSON, Esq., M.P., then came forward, and was received with great cheering. He said it had happened to him several times, within perhaps he might say a recent period, to be asked in a sneering way by gentlemen in th e sou th o f En g l an d h ow th e Anti-Corn-law League was getting on.—(Hear, hear.) Thera was a way of asking a question which beyond the mere words conveyed a very clear mean ing. The meaning of that question was, the idea, the fond notion, that had been invented in the south of England, that the League was retrograding. and some even had gone the length of saying that the League was extinct—(Hear, hear, and laughter)— nay, more, rumour had said that a subscription was even entered into to give a very large testimonial to a writer who was supposed to have been instrumental in bringing about a dissolution of the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Renewed laughter.) He wished some of his southern friends could have been present at this great assemblage—(Loud cheers)—he thought when they heard of the large sums which had been sub scribed by the people of this country in support ofthe League, and the large balance of something like 27,000/. which P.OW remained on hand to carry on the agitation—(Loud cheers)—that they would feel assured that the Anti-Corn-law League had escaped all the dangers of infancy, and was now established in mature and robust manhood, and that it would live until it bad accomplished the object for which it was brought into existence.—(Loud cheering) It had been predicted that the League could not live, because repeal of the corn-law was only a political cry. But it was no "cry."—(Hear, hear.) A cry was a different thing; it meant the watchword of a party, without any real intention of carrying the object into effect.—(Hear, hear.) It was a " cry" to talk of " our young Queen, and our old Constitution— (Laughter) —and " the wooden walls of old Eng land."—(Cheers.) These were political cries. But the distinction between the watchword or word of union of this great Association and those political cries was this, that the one was real, and the other was merely used as a means of binding men together in a sort of livery, which was known by the cry, as it were, which they uttered, though there was no real intention of carrying any political movement into effect.—(Cheers.) But this was not so in the Anti- Corn-law League. Politicians were beginning to find that something was really meant, and that this cry of free trade was not meant merely to bring po litical partisans into power, but was intended to place in the hands of the great body of the middle and working classes their full rights, which consisted in having the free use of their power, and the full enjoyment of the fruits of their industry.—(Cheers.) The reason they were wrong in predicting the fai lure of this movement when times were good was, that they never knew its reality, that they never understood as they ought that it was not a Isere im pulse, but was based upon an intelligent conviction. —(Loud cheers.) It was not based upon the mere contingency of whether times were good or bad, but upon the immutable principles of justice, which would never change.—(Loud cheers.) They had placed before them by the League, a plain, intelli gible, broad, and clear idea, and what was this idea ? Th a t merc h an t s an d manufacturers are something in the land, as well as landowners and farmers (t oud cheers) —that commerce was as lawful and legitimate a pursuit, and as advan tageous to the country, as agriculture.—(Hear.) They now understood that commerce was as much a productive power as agriculture, and that the one produce was as much entitled - to the protection of the Legislature as the other.—(Cheers.) They were too well informed upon this subject to render it necessary to argue as to the bearing of this question upon com merce. But with regard to the farmers :—The farmers were assembling together, and grumblers though they were reputed to be, their grumbling was somewhat more remarkable than usual. And he thought shey had good reason to grumble.—(Hear, hear.) No class of men had been worse treated. It was pretended that the Legislature had the benefit of farmeis in view before they repealed the taxes upon land. It was said what a saving the farmer had had by the alteration consequent upon the New Peer-law ; "the poor-rate is much less than it used to be, the, poor farmer,will get a better return by his occupa tion."—(Hear, hear.) But all that the farmer saved in poor-rates went to rent.—(Cheers.) There never was'a greater mistake than to suppose that the Legis lature, when proposing to benefit the farmer, was not really putting more money into the pockets of th e . . landowners. Cheers.) 'the landowner was the object of favour; the farmer was merely held up as a mask to their intentions. Now they had said this in the League all along—it had been constantly stated that the corn-law was a question of rent — (Hear, hear)—that the corn-law was never in tended to compensate the farmer for the different charges pressing upon the land, for all these charges were calculated upon when the farmer took his land, and allowed for in the rent.—(hear, hear.) As a proof that farmers themselves, compelled by the pressure of the times—having made their con tract for their present rents under the notion that prices would be higher than they now were—were beginning to speak out upon the question, he take the liberty of reading them one or two remark from the speeches of tenant-farrners, at a mee t . ing which took place in Gloucester, and which appeared in the Times newspaper of Tuesday. If the tenants at-will dared speak out, there would be at the present indignation on their moment a very general ety:of part at the way in which their credulity had been practised upon by the Legislature, and a . t the . way they had been induced . to rely upon their faithless patrons for protection.— (Cheers.) , The article was headed " The Farmers Difficulties. It set out by • " Simultaneously with those electoral movements, the communications between the Council of the League and every portion of the kingdom have, by means of corres pondence and deputations, been not only maintained, but greatly increased during the past year. More than 200 meetings, attended by a deputation from the Conn oil, have been held in England and Scotland since Octo ber, 1843. Of these meetings, more than 150 have been held in Parliamentary boroughs, and the increased num bers by which they have been in all cases attended, and the zeal and enthusiasm manifested, prove the extent and the depth of the public conviction in favour of free trade. Besides these , the great meetings held in Covent garden Theatre, London, and in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, show that the qUestion has lost none of its hold ou the public mind in the metropolis, or in this town, the birth•place of the League. " The lecturers of the League have visited and' lec ttired in 36 out of 40 counties of England, and in nearly all the Welsh counties. The demand for this mode of instruction has been much greater than the Council have been able to supply, the desire for lecturers having been especially manifested in the agricultural districts. " More than 2,000,000 of stamped and other publica tions have been distributed. In addition to these, there has been an average weekly publication of 20,000 copies of the League p a p er, 15,000 to subscr ib ers to t h e L eague Fund, besides a sa l e of 5,000 copies week l y, in 67 weeks to 1.340 . 0 00 copies, mak i ng t h e tota l distri bution of publicati ons near l y 3} millions. amounting " The correspondence, since the last report, has mere than doubled, the number of letters received at the League offices in London and Manchester, being about 25,600, while the numbers dispatched from the two offices have been about 300,000. " Until recently, w i t h the exception of Lancashire and Middlesex, the Council had not directed their attention to the county registration. In South Lancashire, having the data furnished by the late contested election, they proceeded at once to a thorough examination of the re gister, and the result of the last registration in this divi sion of the county was a gain of 1,750 votes to the free traders. In North L ancas hi re t h ere was a ga i n of more than 500 votes, and in Middl esex an accession of strength was also secured. " Hitherto the county registration has been almost en tirely neglected by the commercial, trading, and indus trious classes, and the Council resolved to invite their friends everywhere to acquire that political influence to which they are so justly entitled, by taking up their en franchisement for the counties. The appeal has been received and acted upon with a promptitude and en en thusiasm surpassing their most sanguine expectations. The Council have reason to believe that, within the last three months, a sufficient number of persons have pur chased freehold qualifications in North Cheshire, South Lancashire, and the West Riding of York, to secure to those important constituences a flee trade majority ; whilst a large addition to our ranks has been made in Middlesex, North Lancashire, and several other populous counties. were completely deceived in all our notions of cheap food being a source of happiness to the community— he said that there was nothing so very extreme in the remark that the Bishop of London himself might be considered as one of the causes of the evils which he deplored.—(Loud cheers.) " Why," the Bishop might say, " prices are low now, what would ou have ? The corn-laws have not prevented you from having abundance of food ?" Yes, but the answer was that the corn-laws answered no purpose at all, unless it were to raise the price of food. It did effect that sometimes. and therefore by not opposing that law, as far as in him lay, the Bishop of London did all he could to keep up the price of corn.—(Cheers.) Surely it could never be necessary with the Church to discuss the question of whether plenty is an evil, or whether scarcity is a blessing. The very prayer so often referred to as used in our churches assumed that cheapness and plenty were blessings. He asked, therefore, why this body, with the Bishop at its head, did not come forward and help them to repeal the corn-laws ?—(Cheers.) Mr. Gib son went on to express his conviction that the day was not far distant when this law would be erased from " The Council view this as but the encouraging com mencement of a movement to which they will devote their primary attention during the ensuing year. Th e Government of this country is at present in the hands of a class, solely through the instrumentality of the Chan dos clause, which places the county representation at the mercy of the landlords, through the votes of less than 200,000 tenants-at-will in England anti \Vales. From calculations carefully made, tho Council are convinced that it will be practicable, in a short time, to induce such a number of the friend:: of free trade to purchase freehold qualifications, as will neutralise those dependent voters at the poll, and give to the intelligent middle and industrious classes their due influence in the Government of this commercial country. :he statute-book and consigned, as many other bar- harisms have been before it, to everlasting oblivion. J. BRIGHT, Esq., M.P., was the next speaker, and was very cordially received. He said two things had struck him in connection with this subject; one was the certainty of the tendency of all corn-law legisla tion to plunder the industry of the country by creating an artificial famine, and thereby to enrich the great proprietors of the soil, and those who called themselves the nobility.—(Cheers.) The corn-law of 1815 aimed to fix wheat at 80s. a quarter, a famine price, which had only been attained in two years since, 1817 and 1818, which were years of distress, discontent,. and menaced insurrection in all the densely-peopled, districts of the kingdom. But the object of that law and its powers was to keep as near the famine price as it might be safe to go, even though some few were starved in the experiment. This law had no mercy in it, and its framers had none. It was not of its mercy that they were not now plunged into utter desolation, but a bene ficent power, far above the powers and potentates that sat in the halls of human legislation, had bailed the in tentions of the framers of this law, and had given plenty and comfort to the millions of this kingdom.—(Hear.) It should never be forgotten that this law was passed by military force alone. The Ikuses of Parliament were garrisoned for the purpose. The very police and m ilit a ry, who 'wore sustained by taxes on the people, were employed to rivet on the necks of the people that which was once the mark of their servitude and the penalty of their subjugation.—(Cheers.)

SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE THAMES.-011 Wednes day Mr. Carter held an inquest at the York Arms, Waterloo-bridge-road, on the body of George Gregory, aged t we nty, s on o f a widow keeping a greengrocer's shop at 119, Lower-marsh, Lambeth. The evidence taken by the coroner proved that deceased was of weak mind and so passionate, if jeered at or reprehended for his conduct, that he was dangerous to himself and others. Indeed, six months since, he had nearly drowned in a water-butt a female relative who scolded him. In November and December last his mother, the only per son that could. govern him, became bed-ridden, and then he gave himself up to intemperance, which increased the natural defects of his temper. On the 18th ult., having come home tipsy, a younger sister reprimanded him. He struck he r an d t h en ran out of the•hotise. In the even ing he was seen weeping in the New-cnt, and, in reply to an acquaintance, said he had been "kicked and cuffed at home, would return there no more, but go and drown himself." Having said this, he ran off like a madman, and was seen no more alive. Verdict, "]Found drowned." /~~~ //: j / _ - z,--/-1-1-- -- e--1 0."- - - . ---.--- - - - - ' i heaven.—(Hear, he, was held, which realised 10, than was ever before received ler great and noble were —(Loud cheers.) In 1843 , .ey Lao a subscription of 50,0001., with the greatest ease.—(Cheers.) In 1844 the subscription of 100,0001. was asked for, of which 82,0001. or 83,0001. had been received, though one of the great means of its collection had not yet been employed. In 1845, not yet a month old,. the free traders of Lancashire, West Yorkshire, and North Cheshire had, on the recommendation of the Council of the League, expended nearly a quarter of a million of money in qualifying as county voters.—(Cheers.) When, more than twelve months ago, a few despised manufacturers met and put down their Lames fur upwards of 12,0001., the Times had called it "a great tact." He should like to know what descriptive of fact was this-e—the investment of nearly 250,000/. to augment tl.e free -trade register in the three counties he ehad named ?—(Loud cheers.) After this brief description of their progress, he would ask, could this movement fail ?—(No, never.) Let the monopolists and the members of the Government answer this. It was a miserable delusion that the. improvement in trade would stop this agitation ; it was now marching on with firmer and faster steps than ever.—(Hear, hear.) This movement • had arisen from a deep con viction' which had b ecome a f a i th, and that faith was 'strengthened by the experience of every year. From 1838 to 1842 the average price ef wheat had been 645. 81. per quarter; now it was 45e., within 4'l. of 20s. difference.—(Hear, hear). Supposiug that the people of this country consume,l twenty millions of quarters annually, they were now saving twenty millions sterling a-year, an amount which the land lords had formerly absorbed from the industrious classes, without rendering for it one-atom of good, or near so much food as they now gave at a lower price. —(Applause.) This twenty millions now circulated in a thousand channels, fertilizing every district of the country, drying up nothing but tears, and spread ing smiles and happiness around.—(Applause). It was said to be a good thing that the China market had been opened; but how much better 'a thing was it that the English market had been opened. This alteration in the price of .food was tantamount to the opening of markets half as e x t ens i ve aga i n as t h e whole of .the British colonies, and equal in extent to the annul eti of Germany, Holland, France, Italy and the Italian islands, Russia, Belgium, and Brazil in 1842. —(Applause). The present prosperity enjoined on them to continue this agitation, and if it did not, agricultural misery impomatively demanded it. Thirty years protection had left 800,000 or 900,000 agricul tural labourers for the most: part paupers, hopeless, and reckless. This was the very population who, it was said, supported the Lome trade and the revenue ; and it was now found on inquiry that they bought almost no clothing, and consumed few exciseable articles.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers were just about as helpless. Though 99 out of every 100 were against the game-law, they dared not meet to de nounce it in the face of their landlords. This was the battle of trade against lordly plunder, of honest industry against dishonest idleness. (Applause.) After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman alluded, in conclusion, to the movement of the League for securing the county representation, and said that it would do wond ers f or the trade and ' commerce of the country. Looking back over the ground they had trod—over the dangers and perils they had challenged there was enough to stimulate them for the future. —(Applause.) Ile felt that every step they took they trod on firmer and firmer ground— on every hand the foe was retreating. From the contents of the report, from the support they had received that day from va rious parts of the country, and from all he saw around he augured that they were approaching the end of this conflict; and then, after the toils, and perils, and sacrifices of warfare, they should have the reward and the enjoyments of a long and perpetual peace. On the motion of Mr. J. BeooKs, seconded by Mr. ECKROYD, of Utley, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the four gentlemen who had delivered addresses, and the proceedings terminated.

FALMOUTH, JAN. '2o.—The Netherlands galliot Willern Cornelis, of Amsterdam, Reincke, master, from Alicata, laden with sulphur, whilst working out of port yesterday morning, for Rotterdam, the wind strong at S.S.W., missed stays near the lighthouse on the eastern entrance, St. Anthony's Point, and after casting anchor, which unfortunately did not hold, she drove on the racks, and, notwithstanding prompt assistance was rendered by boats and men from the Dutch man-of-war steamer Vesuvius, lying in the roads, bound to Batavia, and also from the shore, she could not be got off that tide; the wind having then considerably freshened from the west ward and W.N. W. ; in the meantime, the galliot having struck heavily, beat off her rudder and became very leaky, and little or no hopes existed of saving her, though every means were resorted to ; when, on a sudden, in a shift of wind at three A.m., she was got oft the rocks, and speedily anchored in comparative saiety. The wind soon afterwards increased to a violent gale at N.N.W. ; at noon, however, the Vesuvius having got up her steam, weighed anchor, ran down to leeward, speedily took the galliot iu tow, and in an hour succeeded in bringing her into the inner harbour. This is another proof of the valuable aid which can be afforded by steam power under circumstances of emergency, and .Where sailing vessels can afford little or no assistance ; whilst to Captain Tulleken, of the Vesuvius, it must be 'very gratifying that his incidental visit to this port enabled him to render most opportune and timely aid to a vessel of his•own nation. .Suspicious DEATH AT WOLVERHAWTON.--OR night last informantaioulnedwsaasrarleßeiavrettimat, wasthe lying dead a th n a e t m a pt l y vo h nl o a u n se in Farmer's-fold, who, the neighbours had reason to suppose, had died from the effects of her husband's ill-treatment. At about eleven o'clock on- that evening Colonel Ilogg, with Mr. De hane, surgeon, proceeded to the house, and found the corpse locked up in it, without a particle of clothes or covering, except an old sheet thrown over the body. Owing to several suspiciouS circumstances attending the case, notice was given to T. M. Phillips, Esq., coroner, who on Tuesday evening commenced an inquest at the Hop-pole Inn. The husband, John Bartlaui, was taken into custody by the police on Sunday. The inquest, after some preliminary inquiries, was adjourned till the following Friday, and a post worteni- examination.is to be made iu the interim.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. THE P ROJECTED REBUILDING OF BALIOL COLLEGR. —lt is not, perhaps, generally known that the rebuilding of Baliol College has been suspended, in consequence of the refusal of the Fellows of that Society to accept any plan not supplied by Mr. Pugin, the Catholic architect. Mr. Basevi had supplied a plan, which was approva l ; but the merits of Mr. Pugin, in having written a bitter philippic against the Reformation, as well as his claims on the private friendship of the Fellows of the College, occasioned the setting aside the plans of Mr. Basevi for a subsequent one of Mr. Pugin's.—Oafo d Chronicle.
