LOIVDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1868 Mr. BRIGHT was last night in one of his happiest moods, and the House of Commons evidently ap preciated his efforts, for his speech was cheered throughout, and the latter part more especially so. This was as it shoul I be, for the hon. member for Birmingham approached his subject in the right spirit, and seemed anxious to express himself with moderation. His shortcomings and errors on many subjects have been great, and on this particular topic of Ireland be has often spoken with a vehemence that defeated its own ends ; but yester day he took a better view of the case, and this was shown most unmistakeably by the impression he produced in the House. The House of Commons can never be influenced by threats; and the most practised orator will fail, the most powerful states man not attain his purpose if he overreach himself. This was shown very forcibly a year or two ago when Mr. GLADSTONE adopted so arbitrary a tone, and attempted to dictate to the House. Mr. BRIGHT expressed his own convictions, and explained his meaning in language at once eloquent and earnest, and those he did not convince he must at least have made certain of the force of his own impressions. He quoted Mr. DISRAELI'S own definition of the state of things in Ireland--" An absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church ;" and then, having fully ad mitted the grievances, he set about thinking of the remedies. As might have been expected, lie pre- ferred his own plan to that of Lord MAYO'S, and argued that, instead of lending money to tenants for improvements, it would be much better to lend them the sum for buying land. Towards the latter portion of his speech Mr. BRIGHT turned upon the religious question, and declared that the proposal to establish a Catholic University would not answer the end desired. The hon. member pro ceeded to illustrate his own proposition, and announcee that the voluntary principle was the only one to establish. As for Lord RUSSELL'S Taunted pamphlet, he disposed of that very sum marily, by declaring it was forty years too late. The scheme of Mr. BRIGHT, if successful, might answer the end in view—the pacification of Ireland; but the difficulty is whether those most immediately concerned would agree. In the first place, he would dis-establish and dis-endow all churches of whatever denomination theymay be, and at the same time preserve the life-interests of the Catholic priests, the Protestant bishops, and the Presbyterian ministers. At first sight no doubt many would exclaim that the whole idea of such a change is quite erroneous, and that the working of it would be im practicable ; but after a time they may perceive that it has its advantages to recommend it. It is bold and straightforward at any rate, and it shows no prejudice or partiality for any one side or sect. No one can deny that the general definitions which the hon. member gave of the condition of things was correct, and that the spirit in which al: reforms must be conducted was well declared to be imperatively that of " mutual and reasonable con cession." Mr. DISRAELI, he admitted, might not be strong enough to deal with the question practi cally in all its bearings, but Mr. BRIGHT declared that he would be most willing to co-operate with him, if possible, in:order to secure the much-sought for object of rendering justice to Ireland, and removing all causes of discontent and irritation. lle would recommend all who would have to deal with this subject now or hereafter, partially or completely. to follow in the spirit, if not in the letter, the advice here tendered to them by Mr. BRIGHT at the close of his remarks. How true it is that we should all seek to get rid of passion in discussing religion, although it is a subject that in all ages and in all countries has created and given rise to the feeling.

A dark and heavy cloud hangs over one quarter of our Empire at present, but we must not despond though it extends to the feelings of those in all parts of the British dominions. " There is a solution we may all take to ourselves : an inspired king, a lord and prophet, has left us words which are not only the expression of a fact, but which we may take as the utterance of a prophecy. He says, 6 to the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.' Let us try in this matter to be upright, let us try to be just, that the cloud may be dispelled, and the change which we see will vanish, and we may perhaps have the happiness of leaving to our chil dren the heritage of an honourable citizenship in a united and prosperous empire. We fully agree with Sir STAFFORD NoRTHCOTE, that there is much to be satisfied with in this speech of Mr. BRIGHT, not only in its eloquence, but also in its earnestness. The only way to deal with a question like this of Ireland, whether it is to be treated permanently or temporarily is to be candid and sincere, and the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for India was also correct in declaring that the discussion which has taken place in the House has not been a useless one, or occupied the attention of the Legislature for nothing. It had at least brought before the House and country the several opinions of different men, and show n what all held to be the grievances of the country, and what are supposed to be the correct remedies. From the chaos of conflicting opinions order may ensue, and out of the multitude of counsellors, if we do not exactly get wisdom, we may at least approach somewhere near it. Though not agreeing with those who advocated the advisability of sweeping changes, Sir STAFFORD NORTLICOTE spoke out, and declared that:if he thought our Constitution to be a faulty one, and one calculated to militate against the prosperity of the country it belonged to, he could not uphold it. The opponents of Conservatism cannot at least say that there has been any attempt on the part of the Government to uphold things be cause they are old, and to declare that all change is hateful be cause it is change. On the contrary, we have before us the words of their representative last night, and he says most emphatically the contrary. "It is not that I shrink from anything new or anything old. I agree with the hon. member that there may be times when not only in Ireland but in England also, it is necessary to be wise and necessary to be bold, but I say that above all things it is necessary to be cautious and necessary to be prudent. We are taunted with having no policy for Ireland. I say we have a policy for Ireland, and that the first and cardinal principle of . that policy is justice." This is fair and outspoken language at least, and perhaps , the most sceptical may now be willing to believe that a better day may yet dawn for Ireland, and the most sanguine find their ex pectations not so very distant from being realised, when the House of Commons can night after night listen to the most masterly disquisitions and the most eloquent speeches from the leading spirits of the day, and when the sum and substance of all amount to this, that justice must be rendered to that country which has too long been our difficulty. It is not very often that the House of Lords divides public interest with the Commons, but last night the proceedings in the Upper House were if less ultimately important, 'more vivid, more ani moted, and more entertaining. A sharp skirmish between two or three of the principal speakers on either side is always a welcome relief to the tedium of political routine, and possibly the Duke of ARGYLL, notwithstanding his apparent acerbity, was really actuated by the most amiable motives in making his onslaught on the Edinburgh speech. It appeared to the uninitiated ;to be a little late in the day to be canvassing words and turns of phrases, to be weighing political reputations in the scales of hypercritical philo logy, and judging the personal honour of men of tried experience and public character by a chance expression or a casual epithet. If Mr. DISRAELI'S political career is not sufficiently before the Eng lish public to enable them to form a fair and accu rate judgment of his merits they are never likely to do so. Perhaps no man of our time has been more criticised, censured, and cavilled at. Every weak place in his armour has been detected by a thousand jealous spies, every mistake in generalship or error in his fencing has been promptly perceived and commented on by men to whom it is a constant affront and injury that genius and daring should be sufficient unaided to raise their possessor to the front rank of statesmanship. It is not agreeable, no doubt, to a man bore heir to a dukedom, with broad estates and ancient lineage, if he chooses to enter on the race of politics and literature, to see himself outstripped by a competitor who started with none of these advantages. Experience has proved that money and station—enough of them at least to satisfy all ordinary purposes—can be won by the way, but there are some qualities which no lack of training nor want of friendly encourage ment can keep in the background. Eclipse must win the race despite the scorn of high-bred racers, who were educated to their profession while he was drudging in unknown byeways ; and though we may probably live to see the Duke of ARGYLL filling the post of First Lord of the Treasury with credit and confidence, we shall never detect him in the com mission of those imprudences which talent carefully avoids, but of which genius is so constantly guilty. It is some proof that, despite the anxious condi tion of public business their lordships are not over worked, that they should have been able to waste an evening on 'so simple a matter. First came the Duke of ARGYLL in great concern about the incon veniences of the resuscitated compound householder, speedily deserting his client, however, to "bring to the test of fact the accuracy and candour of certain statements on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, which had been recently made by the First Minister of the Crown." The Lord Chancellor on the Woolsack listened in some per plexity as to the connection between the two, until suddenly a light dawned upon him. His legal acu men enabled him to discover that " personal rating" had a double significance, and that the compound householder whom the noble duke was " rating" was the occupant of Downing-street. " My Lords," said Lord CAIRNS, " there were two parts in the speech of the noble duke, and at first I felt some diffkulty in tracing the connection between these two things—between the law relating to the pay- meat of rates and the speech of the presen Prime Minister delivered at Edinburgh. But the term personal rating' is an equivalent one ; and I could not help thinking that in the latter and longer part of this speech of the noble duke, ho gave about as conspicuous an instance as could be imagined of that personal rating which in the first speech he so strongly de precated. But there is one most unfortunate thing about the personal rating in the present case—that the person rated happens not to be a member of your lordship's House. My lords, I undertake, without difficulty, to assure the noble lords that if he had been a member the rating would have been repaid." After Lord CAIRNS came Lord RUSSELL, who went over the whole ground again, and who in his turn was answered by Lord MALMESBURY, who very pointedly asked whether the accused was in so remote, and inaccessible a place that no one could put a question to his face ? The whole argu ment of Lord RUSSELL would seem to imply that the Conservatives are a set of dupes, who have not sense to form a judgment of their own, or shrewdness enough to detect that they are being led one way while apparently going another. We may differ from them on many points, but we can hardly to refuse to admit that Conservatives, like Liberals, are men of the world, possessed of average intelligence, and able to obtain access to the ordi nary channels of information. They are not so completely devoid of experience, of tact, or of per ceptive faculties, as not to know something of what their leaders are doing without waiting to be told that they have been deluded second-hand from the Opposition benches. They are probably as well able to judge on points of that political honour respect ing which the Duke of ARGYLL is so keenly sensitive as Lord RUSSELL, and " attempts to bamboozle Parliament and delude the people," need not wait for the " moral indignation" of the Peers to con demn them. But the Liberals, driven from their political preserve of Parliamentary Reform, appear now to have adopted the easier because less tangible domain of political honour. We should advise them, however, to bear in mind the fact, that honour, like credit, does not bear being too much talked about. A ROTIISCIIILD or a BARING is not always boasting of his solvency ; an English statesman of tried reputation need not be always in a fever about his honour. It is enough for him to know that, as he will not condescend to " the ordinary tricks of profes sional politicians," so the public will not suspect him of them. Neither Mr. DISRAELI nor Lord RUSSELL need apprehend that they will be judged by such a standard, but Lord RUSSELL may have the additional comfort of knowing that no one can possibly accuse him of having in late years " edu cated his party " to any policy whatever, " unless it be to " rest and 136 thankful." The news from the United States continues to be watched in this country with the deepest interest, and the excitement in America itself increases as the time for the trial approaches. It is a noticeable sign of the spirit which animates the Radicals that they are apprehensive of losing a moment. From the time when they decided upon proposing the Impeachment of the PRESIDENT they have urged on matters with desperate speed. It might have been imagined that in an affair of such moment, so often talked of, so often abandoned, some deliberation was necessary. The impeachment of the chief ruler of a great nation surely calls for more circumspection and caution than the mere intro duction of an ordinary measure into Con gress. But haste has been the predominant motive with the Republican party. The Senate has voted the suspension of all other business, and we now learn that the Court has ordered President JouNsoN to file an answer to the Articles of Im peachment on or before the 23d inst., the Ccurt meanwhile adjourning to that date. It is a clear case of prejudging a prisoner, of a jury who would willingly, if they might, not only convict but hang the accused without giving him the opportunity to defend himself. We know what impartiality to expect from one at least of the jurors, who openly declared his conviction some time since that the sooner the PRESIDENT was got rid of the better. Senator. SUMNER is not alone in this feeling, for there are other members of the Upper House of Congress who, if more reticent, are not more un prejudiced. The most important item of news brought by the Cable yesterday is the resig nation of the Attorney-General for the pur pose of defending the PRESIDENT at the trial. In Mr. STANBERRY Mr. JOHNSON will have not only an able advocate and cordial sup porter, but one who is well versed in constitutional law, and can, so far as words go, turn the tables upon his accusers, by showing how completely the whole tenour of recent Radical legislation is opposed to the spirit and the letter of the Constitution of the Republic. Attorney-General STANBERRY, too, is familiar with Cabinet secrets ; he is acquainted with the whole of the transactions respecting the War-office and General GRANT, and can at once disprove the assumptions of the PRESIDENT'S accusers. The Attorney- General has already appeared as a witness for Mr. JOHNSON, as have also Judges NELSON and BLACK, and Generals CURTIS and EWART. It will need little evidence and little logic to disprove the reck less and vindictive charges dictated by personal animosity and political ambition ; but owing to the constitution of the Senate Court the American people have little security that the cause of their PRESIDENT will be fairly and fully judged. But after all, whatever the foregone conclusions of Mr. SUMNER and his associates are, it is with the people themselves that the verdict of acquittal or condemnation must rest, and on the justice and clear-sightedness of this supreme court of appeal President JOHNSON may confidently rely. SPEAKER'S LEVEES.—The Speaker will hold his levees on the evenings of Wednesday next, March 18, and following Wednesday, March 25, at ten o'clock p.m. Full dress. FIRE AT TRURO.—TRURO, Saturday, 1 30 a.m. —A destructive fire has been raging in the central and most important part of Truro for the last three hours. Three large warehouses and their valuable contents have been totally destroyed —one belonging to a grocer, an other to a draper, and a third to an ironmonger, all carry ing on wholesale and retail businesses. The fire is spread ing rapidly to shops and dwelling houses, and the damage already amounts to several thousand pounds. The two local engines are of scarcely any use. Other engines have been telegraphed for, and groat excitement prevails. The wind is rather high.

Liddell, M.P. for the southern division of Northumberland, has had a very severe fall in the hunting field, in Northamptonshire. Happily the reports of his condition are very favourable, and it is hoped that in the course of a week or ten days the hon. gentleman will be able to resume his Parliamentary duties. We understand that the paragraph which we quoted from the Pall Mall Gazette, stating that a reconci liation had taken place between Lord Chelmsford and Mr. Disraeli, was incorrect. The ex-Lord Chancellor still considers himself aggrieved by the Premier's treatment ; and the report of his having shaken hands with Mr. Dis raeli is untrue. lie has not seen the Primo Minister since the day he went to Osborne to resign the Grout Seal.— ..Miming Post.

PARIS, FRIDAY, Maitch The debate oh the Public Meetings Bill began yesterdo: Gamier Pagbs made a speech strongly denouncing 04 bill. He declared that it was a retrogressive measure, and was intended as a snare to catch candidates at the sp• preaching elections. He warned the Imperial Government how it followed the example set by the Government of Louis Philippe, and bade it remember that it was through attempting to prevent a public meeting that the last King of France fell. The speech was constantly interrupted, and there was considerable excitement. When the speaker sat down the debate was adjourned until to-day. The disturbances at Toulouse turn out to have been very much more serious than the Government papers described. They were renewed in the morning, and in one place the people attempted to raise barricades, but were prevented by the troops. It is rumoured that the soldiers had to use their sabres, and that one of them was killed by the people ; this requires confirmation. It was that an eineute would have taken place at Lyons and one or two other important places . ; but up to the time I write no news of any such event has been received. The Situation having spoken of the present Legislative Body in very uncomplimentary terms, declaring that it is powerless to pass laws, and will probably drag on its miserable and ricketty existence until July, an application has been made in the Chamber to prosecute that journal, and also the Figaro, which has been guilty of a like offence. The matter was referred to a secret committee, which granted the neces sary authorisation. Surely the Chamber cannot now with any show of decency refuse the demand which has been made by the journalists against M. Kerv6guen. If the Chamber does not like to be slandered en bloc by jour nalists, still less do journalists like to be slandered per sonally by deputies. If redress is given to the one it should be given to the other. The newspapers, in spite of all the restrictions under which they labour, do certainly contrive to keep them selves well before the public. Thus we are told that imme diately after M. Peyrat left his prison in the P6lagie, it was occupied by M. Jules Vall'es, another journalist. General Failly, whose celebrated eulogium upon the miraculous achievements of the chassepot at Mentana you will remember, has just been raised to the dignity of senator. It remains to be seen if he will " do wonders" in his new capacity. I am almost weary of referring to Prince Napoleon's tour. I mention it again only because it is now affirmed that after his Imperial Highness has returned to Paris he will set out on his travels afresh, and visit Vienna, Bucha rest, and Constantinople. Clearly, Plon-Plon is taking upon him a new part—that of the olive-bearing dove. It is to be hoped that he will succeed better in this capacity than he did in that of the war-eagle. By the way, the Prince is going to pay a visit to Krupp's great gunworks, in order, I suppose, to prove the pacific character of his mission. The accounts from Algeria are "horrible, heartrending,' as Lord Russell said of your army in the Crimea. The people in their distress have turned cannibals. The Government has now despatched two vessels laden with wheat —one to Algiers and another to Oran. But what these among so many starving people ? There is a serious agitation going on in Nova Scotia against the Confederation. It will be remembered that when the scheme was in progress the Nova Scotians en treated that the matter might be postponed until after it had been referred to the people at the then impending elections. This request was denied, it being well umlerstood that the vote would be hostile ; and the new dominion was constituted against the wishes of the great majority in this particular colony. The colonists are now very sore. They say that they have to bear all the onerous taxation of a large empire without deriving any advantage. They urge that if they are not relieved they will seek to be joined to the United States, and that if they once entered the Union, Halifax would become the most prosperous port in the world. This is a serious matter. We cannot afford to give up Halifax unless we are prepared to give up Canada also. The port is the key to the whole of our Ncrth American possessions, and it would be to place ourselves at the mercy of the United States if we were to surrender to them that indispensable position. " Viator " writes to the Spectator a most interesting account of the state of Orissa. He says that along the high roads every trace of the great calamity has nearly dis appeared. The lands are all cultivated, the people and the cattle in good case, and but for the absence of old people it would be difficult to believe that so stupendous a calamity as the great famine had taken place less than two years ago. In a very few places the fields are still whitened with the skulls of those who lay down to die. Among them the bones of very young children and of aged people are predominant. In the north of Orissa there are new crops on nearly every field where crops grew before the famine. In most districts food is now so abundant and cheap, that it is believed the province will in three years entirely recover as regards its agri cultural products. The works of the East Indian Irrigation Company are magnificent, and when completed will render famine in Orissa impossible. As regards the communizations, there is very little improvement except so far as the canal is concerned. The Uriyas are intensely bigoted, and have suffered severely thereby. When the embankments gave way during the great floods of 1866, not a single inhabitant could be induced by any amount of wages to assist iu repairing the breaches and saving his own property from destruction. One curious result of the famine is, that the women who were aban doned by their husbands during the famine, and who obtained work and food from the relief centres, have now waxed so fat that they kick against their spouses, and will have nothing to do with these indolent drones. Mr. Hepworth Dixon will be glad to hear that the principles of " free love" have found their way into Orissa. Theso women are singularly grateful for all the kindness which was shewn to them during the famine by the Europeans. There is one young civilian whom they almost worship, and they have done him the greatest honour which can everbe done to a single person by a race of People—they have made his name a synonym for all that is kind and benevolent. Any European who shows more than usual consideration for them is now, in honour of this young man, called a " Kirkwood." A short time ago he visited Cuttack, the scene of his philanthropic labours, and the b eo ple surrounded his palanq u i n , took it away from the earers, threw open the door that they might look at him, and shouting in triumph, carried him off to their bunga low. This may not seem very extraordinary to us Englishmen accustomed to the political enthusiasm of the lower classes, but it is nothing less than miraculous when we remember the timid retiring character of the women of Orissa. The Italian papers mention that there has just died at Naples a man named Carlo Felice, who was 103 years old, and the father of twenty sons, of whom the eldest was 83. Carlo preserved his faculties, both mental and bodily, until the last. A montjs ago he joined a merry party ill a visit to Vesuvius. We suspect that Sir George Lewis would have rejected this story. As the debate of Friday night almost exclusively monopolises the columns of the papers, so the respective speakers get their share of criticism in the steal e of leading articles. There is a general concurrence in saying a good word for the speech of Mr. Bright. The Times calls it one of the most effective addresses which the hon. member for Birmingham has ever delivered. It does not, however, approve his land scheme. Although more moderate than Mr. Mill's, it is open to the same objec tion—that it makes the State, that is, the English Government, the creditor of a large class of Irish men, and thus gives them a direct inducement to evade their liabilities by sedition or political intrigre. The Herald, too, praises the speech as one of great elo quence and power. It admits that no element of confis cation enters into his scheme. It is ecommically unsound, but it certainly is not unjust, except so far as English tax payers may complain of the assumption of liabilities for such a purpose. With regard to the Church, Mr. Bright was, of course, very decided and dogmatic, but there was not in his proposal that "malevolent injustice which cha racterises Mr. Mill's schemes." The debate is expected to be brought to a close on Tuesday night. The Times founds a leader on the passage of arms which took place on Friday night between the Duke of Argyll and the Lord Chancellor. Lord Cairns seems to have enjoyed the idea of giving a brother peer a "personal rating," quite as much as did Eldon and Brougham more than a generation ago. Still, lively as the episode un- doubtedly was, the Times trusts there will be no more mangling of the slain. It hopes that the hatchet will now be buried, that no one will be tempted by letter or speech to revive the pa6sions of Friday, and that Vie atmosphere of the House of Lords will, before Monday, be restored to its accustomed serenity. Some days ago the Scotsman foreshadowed the probabi lity that a motion of want of confidence in the Govern .ient would be the consequence of their failure to meet expectations and necessities in framing their Irish policy. The impression now is that the motion of want of confi dence will actually be proposed on Tuesday, or on an early day thereafter ; but of course, so long as the Irish debate is unfinished, and Mr. Disraeli has not spoken, it is possible that something may occur to modify, postpone, or dissi. pate the intention. Lord Cranborne's influence over his younger brother appears to have prevailed, and Lord Eustace Cecil has de clined the Secretaryship to the Poor•law Board. The post has been accepted by Sir Michael Hicks Beach, M.P. for East Gloucestershire. The hon. baronet, who is about 30 years of age, has been in Parliament since July 1864. The oalary attached to the office is £l,OOO a year, THE MONO. SIR R. PEEL. The arguments upon the motion of the Charity Com missioners to commit Sir Robert Peel, M.P., to White cross-street Prison, for refusing to furnish them with accounts of the property of the Tamworth School, were concluded before Vice : Chancellor Malins yesterday. Mr. Kekewich, who appeared with Mr. Cotton, Q.C., for Sir Robert Peel, went at length into the authorities, to shew that it was not within the power of the court to commit a member of Parliament for such an offence as was alleged against the hon. baronet ; and argued that the pro visions of the first Sir Robert's will were such that the Charity Commissioners had no control over the fund applied to the support of the Tamworth School. Mr. Whitbread having been heard in reply, The Vice-Chancellor stated that he had no doubt what ever that upon the authorities the court had not the jurisdiction to commit a member of Parliament for such an offence as was charged against Sir Robert Peel. The application of the commissioners was clearly wrong in form. He was further of opinion that it was also wrong in substance. The will of the first Sir Robert gave the fund employed in support of the Tamworth School into the hands of his successor in such a way that he could deal with it abso lutely as he pleased. This therefore deprived the Com missioners of any right to require an account, which they could only do when a fund was specifically devoted to a charity. Remarking that he considered the application of the Commissioners misconceived and ill-advised, his Honour dismissed the motion with costs. 11'01?KlIOUSE REFORM. A meeting, consisting chiefly of members of the Legis lature, has been held at the residence of Mr. E. Hart, in Wimpole-street, to consider various questions connected with the expected reform in the administration of relief to the sick poor in country workhouses. Sir John Simeon, M.P., presided. The meeting was called under the auspices of the Workhouse Infirmaries Association, and Mr. Ernest Hart, one of the hon. secretaries, drk w the attention of the meeting to the disclosures made in the reports of poor-law inspectors in a blue-book just issued by the authority of Parliament. The facts brought to light in the report, Mr. Hart proceeded to say, shewed the necessity of a change being made in the present form of inspecting these large hospitals, and he urged that it was time to adopt means for strengthening the hands of the President of the Poor-law Board if he should bring forward any good measure of reform, or for the purpose of indicating to him the direction in which changes were required. The speaker concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the general principles which he drew up for the London infirmaries, and which were in the main adopted in Mr. Hardy's Act, should be submitted to the President of the Poor-law Board, as applicable to country workhouse in firmaries, and that the Poor-law Board should be pressed to bring in a measure giving technically skilled inspectors for the country workhouses. A long conversational dis cussion followed, and the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Percy Wyndham, was adopted unani mously., and a committee was formed to draw up the suggestions to be submitted to Lord Devon. It was moved and carried " That this association learns with regret that the Poor-law Board have required Dr. Joseph Rogers to resign his situation as medical officer of the Strand Union Workhouse ; and that, without prejudging the truth or falsehood of the charges brought by the guar dians against Dr. Rogers, the association regrets the refusal of the Poor-law Board to give so old and faithful a public servant the advantage of an open inquiry and cross-examination of witnesses, which had been demanded not only by himself, but by a respectable minority of his own board of guardians." On the motion of Mr. Percy Wyndham, M.P., it was also resolved that a question should be asked in the House concerning the same case. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to Sir John for presiding. THE ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. -4- - DEPUTATION TO LORD STANLEY AND THE DUKE OF RICHMOND. A deputation from the Associated Chambers of Com merce had an interview yesterday with Lord Stanley and the Duke of Richmond, at Downing-street. Lord STANLEY said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have been present, but unfortunately he had been summoned to attend the funeral of a relative. Mr. Norwood, M.P, introduced the deputation, which consisted of Sir J. Ogilvy, M.P., Colonel Akroyd, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Pease, M.P., Mr. Price, M.P., Mr. Monk, M.P., Mr. Bristow, Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr. Clark, Mr. Sampson Lloyd, and 1% r . The subjects to be discussed were the treaty of corn• merce between this country and Spain and Portugal, and the desirability of the Government granting loans to harbour authorities. A memorial was also presented in favour of a decimal system of weights and measures, trade marks, &c. Colonel AKROYD, M,P. (Halifax Chamber), introduced the subject of the treaty of commerce with Spain and Portugal, in accordance with the terms of the resolution passed at the meeting of the Chambers of Commerce last week. Mr. Pease, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., and several other members of the deputation having spoken, Lord STANLEY replied. He said that he very much regretted the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, because, though he (Lord Stanley) had Leard the arguments which the deputation had adduced, he could not help feeling that the question was a financial one ; as the diffi culties which had arisen hitherto in regard to it had been on the part of the Treasury, and not on that of the Foreign Office or the Board of Trade. He thought that Col. Akroyd had made much lighter of the question of distillation than he and his colleagues were disposed to do. It was now nearly a year since he attended in that room, together with the Chancellor of the . Exchequer, now the Prime Minister of this country, a meeting of the officers of Excise and Customs, and when this question was raised it was anticipated that very serious losses would accrue to the revenue. He knew that Mr. Disraeli was then very anxious —indeed he himself was equally anxious—that some arrangement should be come to with regard to a reduction of the duty on wines coming in from Spain and Portugal. When the question came before the Treasury it was met by the supposition that there would be great loss on the duty on spirits and other alcoholic drinks, and that consequently the revenue of the country would very materially suffer. The question, he apprehended, after all, was not what would be lost directly by a reduction of the duty on wine, as they all knew that increased consumption would most likely make up for temporary loss in that respect ; but it was for their consideration whether this country would gain, in the way of trade with Spain and Portugal, advantages which would be equivalent to the loss of the £300,000 that Colonel Akroyd had spoken of. It was a question, moreover, whether, by introducing these strong wines of Spain and Portugal, they would not be consumed by the people instead of spirits. He was sure that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would enter into the matter most fully, and with an unprejudiced mind ; and if anything could be done to meet the views of the Associated Chambers in this respect, it would receive every attention at his hands. The subject of the Harbour Loan was introduced by Mr. PEASE, M.P., and spoken to by Mr. NORWOOD, M.P., Mr. LLOYD, and others. The Duke of RICHMOND .and Lord STANLEY again regretted the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as this subject was one, they said, which had been under his especial consideration, and they would take care that the views of the deputation were correctly placed before the right hon. gentleman. The subjects of the treaty with Tientsin, quarantine, and trade marks were then discussed. Upon the latter a memorial embodying the resolution framed at the meeting last week was presented. The Duke of RICHMOND, on receiving it, remarked that ale subject was one that had attracted the serious atten tion of the Board of Trade, and that he was about to prepare and introduce into Parliament a bill upon the subject. COMPULSORY VACCINATION. —The Poor-law lsoara has just issued an order to unions and parishes, repeating the old regulations as to contracts with medical officers for vaccination. A meeting of metropolitan commanding officers has been held at the office of the National Rifle Associa tion, Lord Elcho in the chair, when it was resolved to re quest the Secretary of State for War to receive a deputa tion on the subject of the capitation grant. The Illustrated London News states that the late Miss Ann Lockwood, of Bletchworth, Surrey, whose will has just been proved in London under £40,000, has left to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge the sum of £28,000 in funded property. Tho Marquis of Donegan has expressed his approval of the rules drawn up for the guidance of the " Irish team" of twenty, which is to compete in the rifle contest at Wimbledon. The noble marquis mentions that he intends to present the champion of the twenty with a badge, as " Champion of Ireland." EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—A gentleman m Tichfield-terrace, Regent's Park, whilst in the act of open ing his dining-room window, had his hands jammed by the sudden giving way of the sash line. The chair on which he stood slipped from him, and he was suspended full length. His cries quickly brought assistance, but it was not until a crowbar was procured that he could be released. It is feared that many, if not all,-of his fingers will require aipPVt.PA9Pt . Tau art tfirailar s HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, March 13.

The House of Representatives had adopted twelve articles of impeachment, charging President John son with high crimes and misdemeanours in vio lating the Tenure-of-Office Law, byattempting the removal of Mr. Stanton from the War-office, and the appointment of General Thomas, without the advice and consent of the Senate ; in conspiring forcibly to seize the public property in the War Department; in violating the Army Bill by trying to induce General Emory to obey orders not sent through General Grant ; in denying the legality of Congress in attempting to devise means to defeat the execution of the Re construction Laws; in denouncing Congress in pub 4 lic speeches in terms unbecoming the Chief Magis trate ; and in generally violating the:Constitution by not enforcing laws specified. The House has elected Messrs. Stevens, Bontwell, Wilson, Williams, Logan, and General Butler, permanent managers of the impeachment on behalf of the house. The Democratic members did not vote. The House has refused to receive a protest from the Democratic members, declaring that the majority acted with tyranny in limiting the debate upon the articles of im peachment, and with indecent haste in pressing the impeachment under a strict party vote, and denouncing the impeachment as a partisan attempt to break down a co-ordinate branch of the Government. A bill has been referred to the House Committee of Ways and Means, to prohibit further issues of securities, except 5-20's, to absorb the 7-30's and 3 per Cent. Certificates, and to absorb the com pound interest notes. A bill has been introduced into the Senate to abolish the office of Adjutant-General.
