ISABELLA has money enough to do great mischief of a secondary nature, for in reality she can never effect a lasting altera tion ; but the experience of a short time will doubt less show that all attempts to make a change will be fruitless, and thus gradually the idea will be given up. The nations of Europe have had quite enough of the BOURBONS, and although this is not a very flattering lesson for those most immediately concerned to learn, the sooner they do so the better for their own self-respect, and the preservation of whatever remains to them of reputation. It is rare to see the representatives of an ancient house only coming before the public to meet with scorn and indignation. Yesterday afternoon the concluding meeting of the Social Science Association was held at the Midland Institute at Birmingham, under the presi dency of the :Earl of CARNARVON. 'I he President took a brief review of the proceedings, and summed up the results accomplished in the several sections. In the Health Department, he observed, a question of considerable interest had been discussed—the constitution and administration of hospitals. The department was favourable to supervision, but dis approved of any extensive abolition of existing privileges. Some persons, it will be remembered, dislike the mixed system of partly free and partly privileged admissions. This is a difficult matter to deal with, and it is necessary to proceed with great caution, lest by indiscreet or meddlesome interfer ence the springs of private benevolence should be dried up, and institutions which on the whole have worked well and steadily should suffer. After Lord CARNARVON had discussed this subject in its vari ous aspects, he proceeded to the Jurisprudence De partment, in which some very important topics had been brought forward. In the repressiofi of crime section, the general opinion was strongly in favour of increased supervision by the police over those who are well known to be habitual criminals. The act passed some years ago for the supervision of the ticket-of-leave convicts has, on the whole, worked well. Numerous objections were raised to it at the time, but these have proved for the most part groundless, although the system is in some respects incomplete. Lord CARNARVON, for his part, thinks that it has proved eminently successful alike in the interest of the public and of the crimi nal. In Liverpool it has proved especially so ; a department of police has been devoted exclusively to that purpose, and in many instances Lord CARNARVON tell§ us the police have assisted the ticket holder to obtain employment. In the Repression of Crime Section it was proposed that a central department should be established in London in connection with the various police de partments throughout the country, and also that the supervision should be extended from the ticket of-leave man to the whole criminal class ; that is to say, those who have come under the cognisance of the police for some breach of the law, and are known to be living in the practice of crime, though they evade detection. So far these suggestions are va luable and practicable enough, but it is an evidence of the difficulty of reconciling theory with practice that a proposition should have been made to extend the supervision of the police over the whole class of roughs in great towns and over the destitute classes. Such a scheme is obviously impracticable, and the police would themselves be the first to de nounce it. Our police rates would be enormously increased, and a perfect system of espionage adopted which would prove speedily intolerable to all par ties, if indeed it could ever be got to work at all. It is doubtful how far it would be possible to main tain anything like an efficient supervision of the whole criminal class, though more might no doubt be done than is now effected, but if to these we add the roughs and the destitute we shall have a third of the community in leading strings ! The association with roughs and criminals is unfair to the classes unconvicted cf crime, and the excessive legislation proposed would be likely to do a great doll more harm than the present negligence. The condition of Indian rrisons was another im portant topic discussed in this section, and Miss CARPENTER contributed some valuable information respecting the recent improvements. Much has already been done to improve our Indian prisons, although there are still, unfortunately, too many drawbacks and deficiencies. Still we must be satis fied to proceed slowly, if surely, remembering, as Lord CARNARVON observed to his hearers, that the financial demands on India are very heavy, and if we would obtain what we desire, the reform of the Indian prisons, we must bring our demands strictly within reasonable compass. In taking a retrospect of the papers in the Educa tion Department, the President commented upon the proposal to establish a ladies' college in some kind of connection with the University of Cam bridge. This college is intended for the pur pose of teaching rather than examining, and is meant to combine the double function of training governesses and of instructing those who desire a more ambitious edu cation than is usually accessible to females. Lord CARNARVON'S views on the subject are moderate and sensible. He highly approves of the scheme so far as the training of qualified teachers is concerned, and thinks it would be valuable in opening up addi tional employment to women, but he evidently looks with a little suspicion on the visionary " girl graduates," who are to learn " all that men are taught" for the mere sake of learning. We may hope that whatever extremes some theorists may rush into in this as in most other matters the common sense of the community will eventually carry the day, and that we shall see the education of women consolidated and extended, without its carrying them in any de gree beyond their own proper sphere. Looking back over the week's work, the Presi dent of the Association professed himself well satis fied with it, and we may thank the members of the several sections for having thrown fresh light on many interesting topics apt to be overlooked in the pressure of the day. LONDON, 7HURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1868. General Pnur has had a magnificent entry into Spain, and nothing could possibly have surpassed the excitement and enthusiasm which were displayed on the occasion. On this point unanimity appears to have prevailed, and the result must have been highly satisfactory to the illustrious individual con cerned. It is said that the " frantic state of the population almost defied description, and the con course was so great that it took four hours for the procession to pass through the streets." Deputations came from all parts, and the General was escorted by them in concert with the troops, sailors, and civic bodies. All traffic was stopped, and, unfor tunately, the crush was so great that several men and women were crushed to death, in front of General Plum's hotel. French, Italian, and Swiss deputations joined the march, which wanted nothing to give it eclat. The Junta of Madrid has issued a decree, which is published in the Official Gazette, and declares that a reduction shall be made in the Customs Duties in the pro vinces, as well as Madrid, of one-third, in confor mity with the regulations made by the Junta of Cadiz, Santander, and other places. In many re spects progress has been made, and all seems to in dicate that the new order of things will be a step in the right direction. There is none of that hasty, ill-considered action which too often spoils the cha racter and interferes with the course of the Revolu tions which begin under promising auspices. On the contrary, the present condition of affairs in the Peninsula gives good hope that a definite object is in view, and that before long we may hear of a change which will carry into effect the much-desired requirements of the nation. Nothing but goodwill and hard work can possibly put Spain on a level with the other countries of Europe, and it must be a work of time, for the intolerance of ages and the prejudice of perverted rulers have conspired to produce a state of things that calls for great caution. Don JUAN has abdicated his right to the Crown in favour of his son Don CARLOS. The act of re nunciation is dated last week, and declares that his only " ambition" is the happiness of the Spaniards and the internal prosperity of the country and its prestige abroad ; and believing it to be his duty to abdicate he gives his rights to his son, DON CARLOS. In all probability this will not make much difference in the matter, for the nation do not seem much disposed at pre sent to entertain the idea of a ruler to supply the place of the QUEEN. The greatest inattention is paid to the suggestions that have been put forward on various occasions of the chances of the claimants to the Crown, and there is no reason to suppose that a change will now occur in the affair. A Provisional Government appears the most adapted to Spain in this emergency, and those who have taken charge of the Government are not likely to be influenced by any but the gravest considerations. All that can be now hoped for is that the exiled QUEEN and those who aspire to fill her vacant place may have sufficient 1 Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE seems to have had work of it in his election, and he has addressed himself to the task with spirit and determination. The numerous interruptions he meets with only serve to increase his energy, without provoking him into that impatience which too often mars the chances of success in politicians. Yesterday the right hon. baronet addressed a numerous body of electors in Tiverton. He expressed a confident hope that the Liberals among the electors desired to give their opponents a patient hearing ; and as to the confusion at Crediton, he debtored it to the account of some noisy boys rather than to the electors themselves. Very likely this is often the case, and when misguided persons think that they discern a favourable illustration of politi cal feeling, they may be all the time pluming them selves on the result of the exertions of a few " roughs." As for Mr. ACLAND, Sir S. NORTHCOTE declared that he and Mr. WALROND regretted to be in opposition to him, but on these occasions they must make up their mind to such annoyances and 4 , ; ;lat for the vindication of the right principles, as TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1868. they believed . them to be. He represented what is doubtless the state of feeling among many candidates just now, when he said that it would be a great deal pleasanter to amuse himself in other ways than in running about making speeches in all directions, right and left ; but it was necessary, in the interests of their party, that they should do so. In referring to the ma jority that it was always desirable for Ministers to have, the right hon. baronet very truly said that it did not always matter for it to be very large, as witness the late Government, who started with sixty or seventy, and then the first thing that they did was to tumble to pieces. Whatthe present Minis try is aiming at is a good working majority which will let them carry their measures through Parlia ment. Only very prejudiced critics will gainsay the remark here made by Sir STAFFORD on the manner in which he and his colleagues have done their duty in their respective departments, and his speech throughout was couched in a strain at once spirited and independent, while it rendered fair play to his opponents. LATEST INTELL IGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. PARIS, OCt. 8. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the fol lowing news from Madrid of yesterday's date : General Prim made a speech to the people from the balcony of the office of the Ministry, and laid stress upon the intimate unity existing between Marshal Serrano and himself, and urged the neces sity for the Liberals of all shades, for the people, and for the army to preserve concord. "lhe vic tory of revolution," he said, " was due to the joint action of the fleet, Marshal Serrano, and the exiled generals." At the conclusion of the speech General Prim embraced Serrano, saying out aloud, " Down with the Bourbons." This was received by all the people with unanimous applause. In the evening Madrid was magnificently illuminated. Admiral Topete has arrived at the capital. SPAIN AND THE COLONIES. PARIS, Oct. 8. A private telegram received from Madrid states that Cuba and Porto Rico have declared their in dependence, that great agitation prevails in Madrid, and that the fleet would be sent to Cuba. No official confirmation of this news has yet been re ceived. HUNGARY. PESTH, Oct. 7. The Government will lay before the Hungarian and Croatian Diets a bill for the final settlement of the question as to the free seaport town of Fiume, the possession of which is claimed both by Hun gary and Croatia. Prince Karageorgievich has again applied for a postponement of his removal to the fortress of Semlin. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, OCt. 8.

Harry King, who succeeded Davis as Royal huntsman, and the whips, well moun t e d, were i n capital trim and eager for sport, and the hounds were also well prepared for a good season. A fine hind, caught in Windsor Great Park a week previous, was uncarted by the side of Sir William Raptor's park, and went away over Ascot Heath, passing the deer paddock at S winley ; thence round to Ascot, took a passing view of the kennels, and was safely taken at Laurel-cottage, near Winkfield, The meets for forest hunting will be on Tuesdays and Fridays, at the kennels, until the first Tuesday in Novem ber, when the turn out will be at Mr. Cantrell's farm, Salt hill, Slough. KEEPING A BOY CIIAINED.—At the Woolwich Police-court, yesterday, Daniel Callow, a hairdresser, re siding at Plumstead, was charged with chaining up his son Daniel William James Callow. The boy was led into court wearing a chain round his neck, attached to which was a heavy padlock. His shoulders and back were covered with bruises and cuts from having been beaten by his father. When sworn the boy said he was thirteen years of age. His father and mother had been divorced, and both had married again. He went to see his mother, and for doing so his father chained him up from Sunday to Tuesday ; then he managed to break the link of the chain and ran away. On the Sunday he was chained up quite naked, and his father beat him that day aid on Monday. The defendant declared that the boy had been well treated by him, but was addicted to lying and run ning away. He had bought a piece of freehold land on which to build the boy a house, and his conduct was "right down ingratitude." Since the summons had been issued he complained that his windows and door had been repeatedly broken. Witnesses were called to prove that the boy had been well treated by the father, and the case was then adjourned for a week. MR. ERNEST JONES AND THE REPRESENTATION OF CARLISLE.—The Liberals of Carlisle (says the Liverpool Courier), in their electioneering arrangements, have got into such confusion that one hardly knows whether to laugh or grieve. There is a strong democratic 'Arty there who go in for manhood suffrage, the ballot, the encouragement of trades unions, and so forth, and their belief is that they can carry the day against tha Whigs. But to the utter dismay of the extreme Radicals, the Whigs hit upon a clever dodge—they persuaded Mr. Ernest Jones to go to Carlisle and address the electors in behalf of the Whig candidature. How they managed to get Ernest Jones to bolster up Whiggism we cannot say, but the result has been a fearful outcry on the part of the Radicals, who accused Mr. Jones of having "eaten his professions" and joined hands with those whom he calls " the thief in the middle." They accordingly now cheerfully make him over to the Whigs in perpetuity, "in sure and certain confidence that he will be dear to them at any price—that the party and the apostate will punish, scourge, and bleed each Ober as long as they both live."

Sca disturbance. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, LTROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) PARIS. WEDNESDAY, Octobert Next to Spanish affairs, which are, however, relapsing into the dull stage, the address of the King of Denmark is the most prominent topic of the day. The remarks of King Christian on the execution of the 6th Article of the Treaty of Prague were certainly not exaggerated, nor unnatural; for he could hardly pass over the most impor tant question of Danish foreign policy, and he could scacerly express himself more guardedly than he did. But the North German Gazette takes exception to his Majesty's speech, and insists again on the guarantees which must be given in respect of the Germans who inhabit those portions of Schleswig which may afterwards be given up. The journals here are angry with the German paper. They declare that the precau tions which it mentions are merely a plea for delay in the execution of the treaty. France has constituted her self the special guardian of the Treaty of Prague, and this position is supported by most of the Paris journals, and is not distasteful, I believe, to the people. They do not like to see the prestige of their country pass away all at once. Hence Prussia, though she does not fulfil the Treaty of Prague, in so far as regards the giving up of the portion of Schleswig allotted to Denmark, is very cautious in her refusals. The talk of the North German Gazette respecting guarantees and the like is a specimen of this. Various royal personages are suffering from bad health just now. A letter from Brussels, in the Patric, says that the King of the Belgians is indisposed at the Palace of Laeken. He has grown very thin, and is lame in the right foot ; his countenance also betrays his suffering state. His illness is, however, kept secret, in order not to alarm the public, and because it does not present any immediate danger. On the other hand, the correspondent confirms the improvement which has taken place in the condition of the young prince. The colour is returning to his cheeks ; he is recovering his appetite, and his digestive organs work regularly. He is now driven out every day. The condition of the Empress Charlotte is again the subject of dispute. The same correspondent says the virulence of the malady from which she suffers has been greatly exaggerated. She passes her time in reading, writing, and in excursions in the neighbourhood. It is only on certain days that she refuses to get up and partake of food. The report that his Holiness the Pope had advised Queen Isabella to abdicate in favour of Charles VII., is unfounded. The old topic of the evacuation of Rome by the Frencn troops again gives signs of re-animation. It is said that the Commander Barbolani, is about to set out from Florence to Paris, charged with a mission relative to the occupation. The Grand Duchy of Baden is faithful to its patron in all things. Prussia has adjourned its conscription for three months ; Baden has immediately followed the example. The termination of the works connected with the laying of a submarine cable between Copenhagen and St. Peters burg is shortly expected. England will then have direct telegraphic communication with Russia. A curious letter of Napoleon I. to the Empress Marie Louisa is published in the twenty-fifth volume of his " Correspondence." It is as follows :—" Madame et elthre amie, I have received a letter by which you inform me that you have received the Arch-Chancellor whilst in bed. My desire is that you do not receive anyone, whoever they may be, whilst in bed. That is only allowed to those who have passed their thirtieth year." THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS ,DAY.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. UTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.—COMMITTAL FOR WIL FUL DAMAGE.—George Woodward, or Warner, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully breaking eight squares of glass, of the value of £2O, the property of Mr. Thomas Raftery, landlord of the White Lion tavern, Hemmings row. Mr. Raftery said that shortly after his house was closed that morning, while the prisoner, who was his potman, was taking his supper on the counter, he complained to the prisoner that he had been neglecting his duty for two hours, and leaving another servant to attend to it. The prisoner set to abusing him, threatened him, and put his hand into his face. lie went to the door to look for a policeman. and his wife followed to the door for the same purpose, and while she was standing there with her hand on the door post the prisoner slammed the door ton, severely hurting two of his wife's fingers, and shutting both him (prosecutor) and his wife into the street. The prisoner then broke eight panes of glass, of the value of £2O, using a great besom for the purpose, and aimed a measure at a looking-glass of the value of £2O, but fortu nately he did not succeed in smashing it. I❑ answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that his wife was unable to attend that morning, and he believed she would lose two of her nails. Mrs. Margaret Gowdy, a visitor to the prosecu tor, said she saw the prisoner jam Mrs. Raftery's fingers in the door while she was looking to see whether a constable was coming, and then take up a quart pot and smash eight panes of glass, one after the other. Police-constable Braning, 106 C, was called to the prosecutor's, and found eight panes of glass destroyed, and on taking the prisoner into custody he made use of very violent language towards the prosecutor. The prisoner said that all he had got to say was that he was drunk and aggravated by the prosecu tor speaking to him. He did not hurt Mrs. Raftery's fingers intentionally. The prisoner was committed for trial. REMARKS, Ile atmospherical pressures over these islands have increased generally and almost uniformly, during the last 24 hburs, and read ings are now high at southern stations —at Brest the reading is 0.5 inch higher than at Nairn. Temperature on the western coast has risen a little. A fresh north-westerly wind was prevalent yesterday on the Irish coast ; elsewhere winds were moderate and more westerly. Light winds were general this morning, with calms in the S.W. of England. Some rain has fallen in south-western districts, where the weather is cloudy. On our E. coasts the weather is fine. The Liberty adds fuel to the fire of excitement which has been kindled by the news from the north-west frontier of India. It says that whilst the British are assembling troops and making preparations, the Rus sian Government has hastily recalled General Kauffmann. the military commander in Turkestan, to St. Petersburg, without doubt to give him instructions in case of an attack, direct or indirect, by the English, on the north frontier of A ffghanistan. The Persian Government is arming. " A terrible collision in Central Asia is to be feared." A letter from New Zealand, dated July the 12th, says : "Four men have just been murdered by Maories on the west coast, one of them devoured wholly, except his legs ; and the heads of all of them taken, and, it is presumed, devoured too, f6r it is a characteristic of the Maori race to eat the brains of those whom they kill. On the east coast nearly all the roads are closed by the natives, and they flatly refuse to give up the land confiscated by the Government during the late war." The colony owes about seven millions sterling at 6 per cent., which, as the writer remarks, is a large sum for 300,000 people to be burdened with. The brother of this writer comments strongly on the suicidal policy of favouritism to the Maoris, adopted by the New Zealand authorities in all disputes. This, he says, has proved the surest and speediest road to rebellion and bloodshed. the news from Brazil seems to prove that the last hopes of the Paraguayans are vanishing. Their vanguard has been defeated, and the "fortified position to the left of the Tebiquary" has been captured. It is be presumed that this means the stronghold to which Lopez retired after the fall of Humaita, for it is added that the President, with a small escort, had returned to the neighbourhood of Asuncion. If the information be correct, the Paraguayans have lost all, and the war must be near its termination. There was previously some fear in the allied camp that Lopez would escape to an impregnable position near Asuncion, but we hear nothing more of this. In spite of some semi-official contradictions, there can now no no doubt that a plot of some kind has been discovered at Constantinople. The independent French papers and some Vienna journals agree that, though there may be some exaggeration in the details, it is certain that nume rous arrests have been made, especially among the Mus• sulman clergy. It was affirmed that Mustapha Pasha was implicated ; but this is denied. The North East Corre spondence says that in all twenty-six persons were arrested. The Government in vain tried to hush up the affair by spreading a report that these persons had been appre hended for issuing false money. The position of the parties and the gravity of the revelations had made secrecy impossible. The prisoners are treated with great severity. The inquiry into the plot has commenced, but the result is not yet known. The struggle on behalf of progress in Austria is one a the most interesting constitutional studies of the time. Fresh problems in social and political philosophy are continually arising to confront the statesmen of Francis Joseph. When it was resolved to prosecute several of the Bohemian bishops for their manifestoes rela tive to the new law on public marriage, which they had refused to obey, a difficulty arose as to the tribunal by which they could be judged. Were they responsible to the ordinary courts, or could they, as in France, claim an exceptional tribunal? The Minister of Justice has submitted this question to the best authorities, and it has been decided that the bishops shall be brought before the ordinary courts, subject always to their declaring them selves incompetent. This, however, is another blow at the Concordat, which reserved to the Church itself the right of deciding all matters relating to the Church. The Constitution of 1867 furnishes the plea for the present judgment, by an article which declares all citizens equal before the law. The tribunal of Olmtitz has already decided in favour of its own competence. It has fined the Archbishop of Olratits 5,000 florins (nearly MO) far in:a ing his clergy to refuse to perform the ntiorriage mammy under the new law. The tribunal of Prague has, on the other hand, decided that a prosecution cannot be main tained. This judgment, it is thought, 1040 the Sliti_rSlSlPPWlthn of 019V.411.01APJ WESTMINSTER. A CHILD OF THIRTEEN CHARGED WITH DRUNKEN NESS.—EIiza Gilling, a child 13 years of age, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Arnold, struck with the appearance and youth of the accused, observed, " What, this child charged with drunkenness ? Are her parents or friends here?" Sergeant Mason, B division—Her mother is here, Police-constable Edward Stanley, 13 division, said —I was called at a quarter to one o'clock yesterday afternoon to the Vauxhall-bridge-road, and saw the prisoner down an area there. She was too drunk to get out, and with assistance I removed her and got her to the station. Mr. Arnold—How came you to get drunk, child Defendant—Mrs. Perkins gave me the drink. Mr. Arnold (to the child's mother) —Do you know anything of this disgraceful affair? The Mother—l don't know anything of it. I know that this is a steady, hard working girl. When she was locked up we went to Mrs. Perkins, and she told us she gave the child drink, but did not know it would take such effect. Mr : Arnold—What did you have, child ? Defendant—Ale; and what besides I do no know. Mother—When the child first went there in the morning to clean her slops she sent her for gin. Mr. Arnold—lt was a most improper thing for Mrs. Perkins to give this child drink. Mother—lt was. Ido not think much of her. Mr. Arnold (to the mother)—You must bring your daughter here again next Tuesday. Take a summons against Mrs. Perkins to appear then. I should like to see her. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Rebecca Hartley, an im pudent, bloated woman, who owned to being 30 years of age, but looked much older, was brought before Mr. Benson on remand charged with stealing two pairs of boots in the shop of Mr. William Nathan, pawnbroker and salesman, of Nos. 76 and 78, Three-colt-street, Limehouse. The pihoner and a man whom she called her brother entered the shop of Mr. Nathan a few days ago, and the brother said he wanted to purchase a pair of boots. He tried on a great many pairs, and said that none of them would fit him. At last he put on a good strong pair of boots and shoes, and said he thought they would do. Mr. Alfred Page, the prosecutor's as sistant, offered to assist him in putting them on, but the " brother " refused, and said his sister would give all the necessary aid he required. " Brother " and " sister " then pulled and hauled at the boots for some time, and at length said they would ,not fit. They made an apology to Mr. Page, said they were sorry none of the boots would fit, and left the shop without making a purchase. Directly afterwards Mr. Page missed two pairs of boots worth 19s. He went after the couple and followed them into a public-house, where he found them both seated. He charged them with stealing two pairs of boots. The woman ex claimed, " Oh my, here they are ; and took them from her apron." She delivered them to Mr. Page, who gave her int) custody. Her " brother" said, " Don't make a noise, they are your boots. They were taken by mistake." The fellow made his escape. Mr. Benson said it was a pity the prisoner's " brother" had escaped. _ _ The prisoner, in defence, said the man who was in her company had taken the boots and given them to her. She knew nothing of him. He was a stranger to her. She lived in Union-street, South wark, and was a hard-working sober, woman, with one child, which was in court. A woman held up a child and said,r Here it is." A Police-constable—l don't believe it is her child, but a borrowed one to excite sympathy. I can't find out where the prisoner lives. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had now been in custody several days, and no information could be obtained about her. He believed she was a regular professional thief, and that her companion, her pretended brother, was the same. He would accept the prisoner's plea of guilty, and convict her of lar ceny, and sentence her to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. ROBBERY OF OIL AT A WHARF..---A merchant applied this day,for a warrant against, a wharfinger and store keeper on the banks of the river Lee for plundering oil in store and setting up an excuse that the casks containing oil had leaked. Mr. Benson said before granting a warrant he would consult an inspector of police as to the cha racter and reputation of the party complained of, and then decide whether it was necessary to grant a warrant or order the accused party into custody without one. The robberies were alleged to be of a very extensive nature. Mr. Benson was in earnest conversation with the party complaining and an inspector of police when our report was dispatched.

HAYDN'S INDEX OF BIOGRAPHY. ----~-- An extraordinary book is now announced, under the above title, by the Messrs. Moxon and Co., as preparing for immediate publication. It le . "" judging from the specimen pages that have fallen into our hands—so precisely the very kind of re ference .book we have for years been vainly longing for, that we eagerly welcome an 1 here gladly one the announcement of its speedy appearance. Ae* cording to its editor's prefatory explanation as to its origin, the root-idea of it appears to be traceable to his finding among the papers of the late Joseph Haydn a plan for a Dictionary of Biographh to all appearance intended by that labori ous and industrious lexicographer to be re' garded as a companion volume to his great stall' dard book of reference, The Dictionary of Dates• " Long prior to the discovery of this design," says the Editor, Mr. J. Bertrand Payne, " I had formed a strong wish to compile such a work, because , during some years experience as a journalist, I had keenly felt its need." Hence the enormous labour he must, thereupon, have resolutely undertaken. For, otherwise—without a conscientious determi nation to shirk no toil iu this herculean ta3k of compiling an Universal Index of Biography worthy of being regarded as a companion to Haydn s Dictionary of Dates—no book of the kind could ever by any possibility have been produced. If only- - as we take for granted, they must be, emanating s° they do from a house of the high repute of the Messrs. Moxon and Company—if only the specimen pages already issued may be regarded as fair and average exemplars of the manner in which th e work has been done throughout, the subscribers t° • it are not merely secured from all risk of disaP' pointment, but may even now by anticipation be heartily congratulated. The Thirteenth Edition of the far-famed " Dictionary of Dates"-' an edition which has only just now bee° issued from the press, and to which we ab° l/ take the earliest possible opportunity of directing attention—affords at once a favourable idea of wha t is likely to be the general appearance and character of the Index of Biography now announced as forth' coming.

THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND TE, S NEW MEAT AND POUL2ItY MARKET'S. Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon a deputatio n of licensed victuallers, residing in Smithfield, Long' lane, Smithfield-bars, Charterhouse-square, Sr e '' consisting of Mr. W. S. Richardson, Mr. Breretonf Messrs. Kerschner, Woodcock, Palmer, Hobbs: Peacock, Hammond, Mayo, Porter, Darter, and several others, attended by Mr. J. Lardner, the Chairman of the Smithfield Markets Appropriatio n Committee, waited upon the members of the Mar" kets Improvement Committee of the Corporation , at the Guildhall, for the purpose of laying before them a memorial relative to the injury likely to h e sustained by them by the proposed letting of th e four towers of the new market as houses for the sal e of spirituous liquors as well as refreshments. The names of the licensed victuallers presen t having been called over as signed to their memo' rial, and answered to by them, HENRY L. TAYLOR, Esq. (the Chaircsan of th e Committee), desired the memorial to be read, which was done. Mr. JOSEPII LARDNER then said that the meroc:, rialists had heard b u t th ree wee k s previously tit tit it was the intention of the Corporation Committee for Markets Improvements to let the four corne r towers of the New Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Markets as licensed hotels for the sale of spirits a ° well as refreshments, which would be a great injury to them in their business, as well as restricting the limits of the site for shops, &c. They had no ob • jection to such hotels being opened as beer-house s ' nor to their being used as places for refreshment te parties attending the m ar k e t ; b ut they felt to °t acutely that after they had been subjected to the long and serious expense of waiting for twelve o r thirteen years for the opening of the market-planeet for the improvement of the neighbourhood, and CI an increase of tr a d e i n consequence, in some sru a ho degree, to recoup th em f or such losses, diet t opening of the hotels, to be used as licensed howl would be to them a source o f d eep and permaneli injury, and mos t gr i evous to the prospects of the ir respective families and trades. They hoped, there' fore, that the Committee would take their case iut ° consideration, and revoke any such deci s i on if suet bad already been come to by them. The Chairman of the Committee (Mr. 11. TAYLOR) said that he, in common with the othe r members thereof, felt deeply for the position i t/ which the memorialists were placed. Neverthele ss it should be stated that they, as the members of the Markets Improvement Committee of the Corpora tion, were simply desirous of carrying out the it" tentions of the Legislature in the Smithfield Mar ket Act of 1860, which, in its ninth clause, P l 9; vided that the Mayor, Aldermen, and Comlll° l3 were not only authorised to erect a market-hou se and market-place, but that they should also O' struct "such houses, shops, stalls, standings, shea g ; buildings, works, and conveni ences f or th e pur poses of the said markets and the accommodation of Pe r sons resorting thereto, as they the Mayor, Alde r , - men, and Commons may think necessary, all whic h said market-houses and market-places shall b deemed public markets." He wish e d to k l3 ° ig if any of the gentlemen present had anything furthe r to say. Mr. RICHARDSON wished to ask the Committ ee whether, in the event of such hotels or house s being licensed, the occupiers of them would be Per mitted to dispose of their li cense d ar t ic l es a ft e r th e market was closed for the transaction of the bust ness of the day ? The CHAIRMAN..--Certainly not; the houses 11 have . , - to, close when the market is closed. Mr. IticHAßDsoN.—That, sir, is a grand point' and the answer is very satisfactory. he The CHAIRMAN was g l a d t o h ear th a t , a s t no Corporation did not lik e th e id ea o f l os i ng 12,0' a year income. The memorialists then thanked the Chairl and the Committee for their courtesy, and retired' Mr. THOMAS RUDKIN, the chairman of the g 3, ./ .; kets Committee, was ex officio present during the proceedings.
