A MONTH IN NORWAY. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] (Second Notice. ) Norway is a large country, and the maps of it published in England will, I fear, scarcely enable your readers to follow my route. The Norwgian maps are costly (Wali,gorski's costs 95., Munch's 365.), and none but Norsk travellers will be likely to possess them. However, I will endeavour, by avoiding too great minuteness, to render the rest of my journey intelligible. The reader who looks at any map of Norway will see that the whole of the west is indented by fjords. It is these which form the most characteristic feature of Norsk scenery and Norsk travel. They give beauty to the first ; they give variety to the second. To-day you travel over a highland surrounded by snow mountains ; to morrow you are in a steamboat on the level of the sea. Our route lay from Hellesylt to Faleidet. That is, we went south from the Storfjord to the Nordfjord. And a beautiful drive it was. For some miles you ascend through a country ever growing wilder and more desolate, until you reach a point whence the streams flow in both directions, and you know that your highest level is attained. Far above this, especially on the right, are snow-clad mountains, one especially is almost as sharp a pinnacle as the Matterhorn. It has been ascended by Mr. Temple. Descending, you pass through a scene of exquisite fertility, where the dark firs and the white-barked birch fringe the borders of a most charming lake, Horningdal's Vand. Then a steep ascent through woods, and then a very rapid descent to Faleidet. Here is a very charmingly situated inn, but the bill is less satisfactory than the view, and I would advise travellers wishing to explore the Opstruen Vand, as we did, or the Brixdal glaciers, to go on to Taaning. At this point of our journey the fine weather suddenly broke up, and we had to encounter days of wet and storm, fortunately few in number, but somewhat inconvenient, not to say exciting. For instance, crossing to Udvig—a distance of seven English miles—took us little less than three hours. So fiercely blew the wind, that at one time we actually went hjsckwards, in spite of all the efforts of our rowers. Safely landed, we had to make the ascent of the steepest road in Norway. There is nothing lil:e it, even in Devonshire. The horses would pull for three minutes, and then stop for five. As we neared the top, the country became desolate to the last degree. We noticed huge posts along the roadside, land marks to shew the path when buried by the winter snow. On the south side of the hill the view was very grand, and more thoroughly Alpine than anything we had seen in Norway. Glaciers lay on our left, and beyond them moun tains of every shape—one a perfect cone, one a huge table, with sides frightfully precipitous. Far below us a roaring stream ran through the narrow valley, and all around us were clouds and tempest, with the sun shining through rifts, and producing very fine effects. Arrived at Reed on the Bredheim Vand, we had to take to boat again. But this was easier said than done. The boatmen absolutely refused to go, so tempestuous was the weather. This was not pleasant news. The station at Reed is a cottage of the humblest kind, and to pass the night there was scarcely what one would choose. But there was no alternative. W e asked for bread, there was none ; for butter, there was none ; for milk, there was none ; for meat, there was none. Sowe made a meal off potatoes and coarse bacon, and went to our bed of hay covered with a sheet. Up at four in the morning, we found a sunrise drenched with rain. But the wind had subsided, and eight oars took us with great difficulty across the lake in three hours. We passed station after station, all worse than the one we had left ; and we made our first mealthat day atsix p.m., after fourteen hours of travel in torrents of rain. The next day was somewhat better; the showers still soaked you through and through, but they were intermittent, and allowed you time to dry. We reached the Sogne Fjord at Vadheim. The steamer did not arrive till near midnight. Every berth was taken, and we had to sit up all night. We were well repaid the next morning. The fjord scenery as we approached Bergen was extraor dinary. Every few minutes we found ourselves in a lake, not larger than is to be found in many an English park, with no outlet that we could see. Then, as we were wondering how we were to get out, some narrow strait would reveal itself, and we would thread it, passing and almost touching the rocks on either side. And all this while we were within a few miles of the North Sea, though, so far as we could tell, we were in the centre of Europe. The pilot knew better, and many a narrow escape he has had by reason of the fierce currents which rush through these straits, and which no fewer than three times had carried the steamer in which we were backward upon a rock. Bergen is a most picturesque town. But it is always raining there, and the climate is very relaxing. Though considerably to the north of Christiania, the winter is far less severe in the old capital than in the new. The Gulf Stream runs up the west side of Norway, and so, while Christiania Fjord is a sheet of solid ice, even among the Loffoden Isles the sea will remain unfrozen. Bergen is surrounded by hills about two thousand feet high, whence there is a glorious view of the fjord, with a glimpse of the open sea. There are not many lions, fortunately. The museum is worth seeing for the sake of its stuffed animals. The Art Union, both here and at Christiania, is very poor. Art does not flourish in Norway, and Tidemand, who should be the pride of the country, finds so little patronage that he lives in Dusseldorf. Ole Bull, the violinist, resides near Bergen, and had just come home from a tour in the United States, which, I am glad to • say, has brought him a handsome income. Bergen, usually a quiet and orderly place, was the scene of a very serious disturbance a day or two after we left it. There was a popular riot, so formidable that the military had to be called out, and blood was shed. The cause of the disturbance was—potatoes. The price of this, the almost only vegetable in Norway, has been so high this summer, owing, I presume, to the drought, that the Bergen gamins thought that by rising they would make it fall. It was necessary to get this idea out of their heads by the logic of the bayonet —a mode of argu ment very rarely resorted to in peaceful, order•loving Norway. Two days in Bergen passed somewhat heavily away, amid rain out of doors and fleas within. Then we gladly turned our backs upon both, and set our faces towards the Hardanger, prince of all the fjords. Words fail me to describe the beauty of this district. It was not only all beautiful, but beautiful in such a variety of ways. At one time you would be in a vast lake, with snow-clad moun tains seen far off in the horizon ; at another, you would be steaming through a defile of rocks, sometimes utterly barren, sometimes clothed with fir and birch. Narrower and narrower grows the fjord as you reach the upper end of it. At Odde you are surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Norway. To the west is the famous Folge- Fond, an enormous ice-field, twenty by fifty English miles. We made the ascent, and found it a very stiff climb indeed. There is an hour and a half's ascent over the snow, and - as the mountain here is like the roof of a house, the difficulty may be imagined. In our case it was in creased by a thunderstorm which had taken place during the previous night. The rain had fallen on the snow and frozen hard. Ludicrous, and even painful, were our efforts to obtain a hold on a slope so steep, that we had to walk on the sides of our feet. Coming down was rapid work. We " glissaded " and descended in about ten minutes ground that had taken us an hour to ascend. lam bound to say that this expedition scarcely repaid us. The view is extensive (we saw a mountain eighty-five miles off), but too barren to be beautiful, too monotonous to be grand. Far better worth under taking is the Skjwggedal Foss, the great waterfall of Norway, of which " Murray " apparently is totally ignorant. There is some scrambling here, and though we were warned by a member of the Alpine Club that it was inaccessible for ladies, my wife found it an easy ascent, and compared with the Folge-Fond mere child's play. The fall is very grand. You approach it by a lake which takes an hour to pull up. All around you are cruel preci pices, ink black, and from the top of these descends this awful torrent, drowning all other sounds by its terrific roar. From its foot rises a great cloud, seemingly of steam from some huge boiler. For yards and yards around the mist and spray soak the soil and you too, if you venture near. Then, having made its headlong descent, the torrent rushes, a foaming cataract, into the lake. A few days later we had a climb to the Wring Foss, another of the chief falls of Norway. This is really finer than the other; but you cannot see it so well. You have to look down, and as jutting rocks interpose and partly intercept the view, even when, as we did, you crawl on bands and knees to the edge of the precipice, you do not take in the full grandeur of this magnificent fall, where the river takes 800 feet at one leap. To these expeditions there was a comic side. For about a fort night we were travelling with a Prussian general, who commanded the engineers at Sadowa, and had three sons officers in that battle. Our hero amused us infinitely by going about the country in full uniform, to the great amazement of the Norsk peasants. I think they believed that he was commissioned to inspect the country previous to its invasion. The national honour made the General think it incumbent upon him to take the lead in mountaineering. Unfortunately, the hero of Sadowa was by no means surefooted, and every few minutes there would be a sudden halt along the line, and the signal would be passed, "The General is down again." Somewhere about the twelfth fall one of the heels of his boots came off, and a little later the other heel followed suit. The falls now became fast and furious, but still the General led the van, and at each backsliding would exclaim " Ach, Wunder- EclIn!" as though he wer: sitting down to admire the s , ; ', 2 , t ry. The intfwe vanity of tho man prevented Win trout ban 44aloik...DuilLwbuinawbitilhis6 when we saw him walking the streets of Christiania in the full glOry of hill dress uniform and eagle•crested helmet, that our hem appeared most sublime. We then scarcely ventured to think how we had laughed at the mountain misadventures of this magnificent soldier. Odde is Cie centre of a large number of excursions. Not so Vik, otherwise Eidfjord. From the latter place you see the Voringfoss, and that is all. At the station fleas are as abundant as the frogs in Egypt temp. Moses. We were very glad to get away, and left the place early one morning in a small boat forEide. Themorning was sultry, and not a breath of air moved the surface of the water. After pulling some five hours there sprang up a sudden storm. We saw in the distance crests of foam, and soon we were dancing about in fine style. A little later and the sea was dashing into our boat, and it was a case of sauve qui pent. We ran for shelter behind a promontory of rock, and the boatmen, climbing it, returned shaking their heads and talking of going back. We persuaded them to wait a little, and presently the pitch-black clouds began to break, the sea to quiet itself, and we sallied forth once more. After ten hours we reached Eide, and but just in time. Even while we landed the heavens became covered with a dense canopy of dun cloud, streaked with falling rain. The sea, which had become like a mirror, in five minutes came rolling to the shore in great breakers, and then the clouds were rent bylightning, and the thunder played grandly among the mountains. Itwas well we were on shore, and suffering nothing more than a through-and-through wetting, such as I think only Anglo-Indians have expe rienced. We had still a long journey before us over a very rough road. Night was coming on, and I fairly fell asleep in the saddle. Vossevangen was as good a harbour of refuge as could be found in all Norway. It is, indeed the prince of "stations," and it is situated in the midst of the choicest scenery. A journey to Norway would be well repaid by a drive from Eide on the Hardanger, to Gudvan gen on the Sogne Fjord. There can scarcely be in all Europe a fifty miles' journey to compare with this for combined beauty and sublimity. Beyond Gudvangen is the Sogne Fjord, concerning which tourists and guide-books are silent for want of words to express their admiration. I must be silent for another reason. Our steamer was three hours late, and the passage was made at midnight through drenching rain, so that we could see nothing, and on landing at Lrerclalsoren in the small hours, had to feel our way to the station. The choicest part of our journey was now over. But the ascent, and still more the descent from the Fillefjeld is very fine. At Nystuen, on the summit of the Fjeld, we passed a night, and found the thermometer down to about 45. Then came a drive of thirteen hours in soaking rain, through very grand mountain scenery to Fagernns. Still descending, the country became fertile and more thickly peopled than any other district we had seen, but the scenery was comparatively tame. What we had seen spoilt us for all that we were to see, even the famous Ringeriget district. We reached Christiania again exactly four weeks after leaving it. Two days later we renewed our acquaintance with the Argo, and were soon to witness her behaviour in as nasty a sea as the best sailor could desire. A lurid sunset on the Friday—black clouds fringed with gold, and spaces of green sky between—made our captain foretell a north-west gale. It came not that night nor the next morning, and we were beginning to think that he had happily proved a false prophet, when, as we were off the Naze, the wind rose and the sea with it, and soon it was a case of holding on to your seats with both hands, and very thankful if you were not, in spite of your grip, sent rolling to the other side. There was but a small dinner party that day. The few who were bold enough to sit down bad little chance of eating amid the general over throw of viands and smash of crockery. For fifteen hours the gale lasted, and for nearly fifteen I slept. All this time the Argo ploughed on her way in fine style. The next day the sea went down in a marvellous manner, and long before we reached the Humber we were in water as smooth as that of a river. Landing in England I found that the July autumn had, under the influence of refreshing rain, given place to a September summer; and this somewhat reconciled me to the irksome return to hats and collars and the Irish Church. One word by way of practical application. If any of your readers, weary of meeting their fellow-countrymen at every turn in Switzerland and Italy, want a thorough change, they will find it in Norway. The scenery is unique, travelling is easy and cheap, the people honest and simple. You will have, perhaps, to feed on salmon rather more often than you like, and the fleas will certainly feed on you as much as they like. But the superabundance of fish and insect is compensated many times over by the glorious freedom and unconven tionality of a country which combines every charm of nature, unspoilt by the roguery and avarice of man. Mr. Charles Dickens has just entered into an engagement for a series of a hundred farewell readings in England for the sum of V,OOO. The Scotsman draws attention to the fact that harvest is all but completed in the upland districts. This will be one of the earliest harvests on record. The death is announced of a once celebrated Birmingham Loser—Tom Lane, brother of the renowned "Hammer." Amongst the persons objected to as electors for Westminster, iu the parish of St. Mary-le-Strand, is Sir S. M. Peto, Bart., whose qualification is described as " The Morning Post Office, Wellington-street." A Belfast telegram rays that a bottle containing a paper was found on the beach at Silver Stream, near Carrick fergus. The bottle contained a paper, on which was writ ten :—"North-west of Ireland, 3d July. Good ship Annie, 150 miles N.W. off Troy. Going down. Capt. Jerome. God save us." A Congress of German workmen has assembled at Nuremberg. Its programme and object is similar to that of the International Working Men's Association. There hae been a quarrel amongst the delegates as to the platform to be adopted, and a large minority has withdrawn to hold a meeting of their own. The Irish Government have offered a reward of £lOO to any one who will give such information as will lead to the apprehension of the persons who attacked two of the constabulary near Cloughjordan, county Tipperary, some days ago, and so maltreated them that constable Toole's life is still in great danger. A public meeting to promote the erection of a monument in memory of the late Mr. W. J. Fox, who for many years was one of the members for Oldham, was held on Wednesday, in the Town Ilan in that town. There was a large attendance, and Mr. John Platt, M.P., occupied the chair. A committee was appointed to carry out the object in view. At the Edinburgh police-court on Wednesday, Mr. E. 13. Lockyer, one of the Liberal candidates for the representa. tion of the Northern burghs, was charged with having illegally obtained possession of a letter addressed to Miss Sinclair, 6, Frederick-street, Edinburgh. Georgo Wilkie Holmes, a postman, was at the same time charged with being concerned in the offence. Tho case was remitted to a higher court. The Attorney-General has granted his fiat for the issuing of a writ of error in order to quash the indictment which was preferred against several stone-masons at Leeds, three of whom were found guilty and sentenced to four months' imprisonment, the ground for the issuing of the fiat being that a verdict of guilty was entered on the record upon all the grounds in the indictment, whereas one at least of the grounds was bad in substance. Some men were engaged blasting in the Dorking Greystone Limo Company's quarries at Betchwork a few days ago, and bad retired to shelter themselves behind a truck while the fuse went off. The man who lighted the fuse bad a small piece left in his band ; this he threw away, and unfortunately it fell into a barrel of gunpowder which was standing close by. A tremendous explosion followed, and the men who were in close proximity to the barrel were fearfully burnt, two very dangerously, and ono man had his eye blown out. They were speedily removed to their re spective houses, where they received medical attention. The Sheffield Independent states that for something like ono hundred years a fire has been burning in the dis used workings of the Bank Pit Colliery, at Parkgate, and on more than one occasion it has threatened to break through into the workings of the collieries belonging to Earl FitzwEram. About 20 years ago this danger was imminent, and a thick bank wall was erected to avert it. During the re cent dry weather the ground in the neighbourhod has cracked to a very considerable extent, and it is supposed a current of air his found its way into the workings, causing the fire to apical. The danger of its breakin b , through into the Earl's collieries has again presented itself, and under the direction of Mr. Cooper, the manager, steps are being taken to prevent it. The fire is believed to extend over many acres of workings. Several disastrous fires have occurred within the last few days in the North of England, which there is too much rias;ei to fear were the work of incendiaries. The perhaps the most serious of these, was a con flagrat!on which began late on Monday night at Earsdon, near North Shields, and resulted in the entire destruc tion oi twenty-one stacks of wheat, oats, and hay, the pro p rtY (' Mr.G. f W a tson and Mr. J. Stewart. Six of the snepected incendiaries were subsequently apprehended. Th .y are Irish labourers who have been at work in the eons , ruction of a colliery tramway in the neighbourhood.

IHE MEMBERS FOR OXFORDSHIRE AT BICTSTEI?. BIOESTER, Tuesday. The ninth anniversary of the Agricultural So ciety for this district was celebrated this afternoon by a public dinner at the Corn Exchange, under the presidency of the Earl of Jersey. There were also present the Earl of Effingham, Mr. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, M.P., Colonel Fane, M.P., Sir 11. Dashwood, Dr. Marsham, the Hon. W. North, the Hon. Mr. Villiers, the Rev. Mr. Blom field, and a large number of the leading agricultu rists of the neighbourhood. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were given and received with due honours. Colonel NORTH, in responding on behalf of the army, said that since be last had the honour of acknowledging the toast in Bicester the British army had entered upon and completed one of the most arduous campaigns that any army in the world had ever been called upon to perform. It was a campaign in which there was no hard fight- ing, but whenever fighting occurred our army showed that gallantry and endurance for which it was so justly celebrated. (Cheers.) Although there was not much fighting, the army displayed those virtues which were most important to the soldier—namely, the strict discipline and endurance which were so essential to the success of a cam- paign. (Cheers.) Our countrymen might look back with gratification and pride on the perform ances of that array, when they recollected that during the whole campaign there was not a single case of insubordination or of ill-treatment of the inhabitants of the country through which they marched, and that they returned safely to this country to receive those thanks and honours to which they were so justly entitled. (Cheers.) Captain DEWAR responded on behalf of the Volunteers. The Earl of EFFINGHAM proposed "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." The Rev. Mr. BLomFIELD, in acknowledging the toast, observed that the Church of this country was a Divine institution, and did not depend on State aid or ou rich endowments. He who was the head of the Church would defend his right and preserve his cause, and if the Church was but faithful to the trust committed to her charge God would prosper and bless her, but if she proved unfaithful Ile would blot her out from the face of the earth. Whatever changes might be in store for her, if her members strove to promote the real end which she ought to have in view, their efforts would by God's provi dence tend to the good of the Church and of the nation at large. In conclusion, he begged to pro pose, " The Lord-Lieutenant and the Magistrates of the County." Dr. MARSHA:NI (Warden of Alerton) responded. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The Members for the County," intimating that probably one of them would not probably have many other opportu nities of acknowledging the toast in that capacity. The toast was drunk with all the honours. Mr. HENLEY, who on rising was greeted with loud cheers, returned thanks for the kind manlier iu which the toast was received. At these social gatherings every topic that might create differences of opinion was very properly excluded. Assembling as they did for a special purpose, it would ill be come those who addressed a company including men of all opinions and all shades of opinion to disturb the unanimity and good feeling which ought to prevail. (Hear, hear.) He would not at tempt to avail himself of those means which were very of ten used for introducing particular subjects. If such a precaution was necessary to ordinary times, it was especially necessary o❑ the present occasion ; because, if he might be allowed to say so, the whole ground was now covered with gunpowder, and every man who let an incautious spark fall upon it might cause a blaze which no one could stop. (Bear, hear, and laughter.) There .. fore he would make no remarks that could have any such tendency ; but he might be allowed to say that, holding a public position connected with the county, he felt deeply grateful for the kind manner in which he had been received by men holding different opinions, knowing as he did that Englishmen, whether they agreed with a man or differed from him, always gave him credit for acting honestly, and trying to do his duty to the best of his power and ability when they met him on social occasions. The labour, and difficulty, and anxiety attending some public situations were only known to those who occupied them, but he could honestly say that the best re ward which they received was that feeling of kind ness which was evinced by all classes of their fellow countrymen when they presented themselves on ac casions like the present. (Cheers.) He might just be allowed to refer to the subject of the cattle plague, from which the country was now happily free, and from which he hoped it would continue to remain free. (Cheers.) Although some alarm had been created, and he was afraid there would still be alarms, and even more tha❑ alarms, from the other side of the water, yet he should hope that the vigilance of those to whom such matters were in trusted, to whatever school of politics they might belong, would be sufficiently alive to the danger of being liable to the infliction to which the country was subject a few years ago. (Cheers.) No doubt there were some things which no human projects could stop, but he believed that if proper vigilance was exercised that great curse would to a consider able extent, if ❑ot entirely, be prevented from com ing among us. (Cheers.) A gap of a hundred years had occurred before the last visitation, and he honed another hundred years would elapse before we should be again afflicted with another visitation of that calamity. (Cheers.) Col. NORTH, who was also received with great cordiality, observed that the greatest reward a public man could receive was the approbation of those he had the honour of representing. Reference bad been made to his services with regard to the army. No one was more anxious than himself that the country should be put to no unreasonable ex pense, and every one must admit that during the last year or two there had been a great increase in the comfort and happiness of the soldier, and he believed there was no one who did nut approve the addi tional outlay %hid' had been made. (Cheers.) Not only had there been an increase in the efficiency of the army, but the change which had occurred had been the means of inducing men of a superior class to enter the ranks of the army. (Cheers.) That was a source of great pleasure and satisfaction to all classes. His right hon. colleague had referred to the custom of excluding all political and religious topics from gatherings like the present, and he was suite sure that a wiser rule could not exist. Meet ings like the present included men of all shades of political opinion and men of all religions, and it was a source of pleasure to all to meet on neutral ground without any feeling of anxiety respecting differences of opinion. (Cheers.) Colonel FANE, who was loudly cheered, observed that the noble chairman had been pleased to say, without any foundation, at least so far as he (Colonel Fane) was concerned, that this might be one of the last occasions on which he would have the opportunity of speaking as one of the repre sentatives of the country. He thanked his friends for the very flattering manner in which he had been received, which was a proof that during the short time he bad been in Parliament he had acted up to the principles which he had always• professed to the best of his power and ability. (Cheers.) H e did not think any man had yet heard him say that he meant to re sign. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) What be had seen in the newspapers had struck him with astonishment. Ile had observed a paragraph in the Standard to the effect that Colonel Fane was about to resign in favour of Mr. Cartwright, and that three-fourths of the county were delighted at it. He perhaps might be going to resign, but still he would app,.al to all present whether three-fourths of the county would be glad of his retirement. (Cries of "N0,n0.") He should be exceedingly sorry to disturb the peace of the county, and put his friends to any inconvenience, by standing in the hope of getting in at the sacrifice of one of the present members. It was far from his intention to do so. He thanked all present for the manner in which they had supported him, and he thanked those who hadnot done so for the kindness th at they had invariably shown him. (Cheers.) But when his lordship made the remark to which he h ad referred he was not quite correct, that this was . fthe last time he would have the honour of returning thanks as their repre sentative. He denied that . (Cheers.) He gave way with the greatest respc ct to the majority of the county, but should any accident happen, or any vacancy occur, they would find him at his post, and most likely in an assembly like the present his health would be drunk again as one of the members for the county. (Loud c'tteers.) Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to. ELECHOIv INTELLIGENCE. CHESHIRE (MID). —The Hon. J. Leicester War ren, son of Lord de Tabley, the Liberal candidate for this new electoral district, delivered his first address to the constituency on Tuesday, at Al trincham. Ile supports Mr. Gladstone on the Irish Church, is in favour of amending the laws relating :o land in Ireland, and is prepared to aid in re- casting the Reform Act, especially in regard to the ratepaying clauses and the redistribution of seats, while he has no objection to compulsory education if all other means failed. CHICHESTER.—A meeting of the working men of this city was held on Tuesday for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. George Potter on the Irish Church and other political questions of the day, which he concluded with an earuest appeal to the electors to return the Liberal candidate, Mr. John Abel Smith, which was heartily responded to. A Liberal association of working men is about to be formed in the borough CORK (CITY). —Mr. Macarthy Downing, solici tor, Skibbereen, has issued an address offering to contest the county of Cork at the next general elec tion as a supporter of Mr. Bright's policy regarding Ireland. HULL.--In the course of their canvass, Mr. Bax ter and Mr. Atkinson, the Conservate candidates for this borough, addressed a speci:►l meeting of the members of the various branches of the civil service at this port. Mr. Atkinson is stated to have a spe :jai claim on this new class of voters, as having . . been the first person to sign a petition from Hull praying for the bestowal of the franchise on the civil service. NORFOLK (NORTH). —The Liberal candidates for this division, Mr. R. I'. Gurdon and Mr. Wode house, have been pursuing an active canvass during the past week. On Tuesday evening they addressed a meeting at Great Yarmouth, at which Mr. W. T. M'Cullagh- forrens, NI.P. for Finsbury, also spoke. NOTTINGIIAM.—At a meeting of the Liberal party, recently held, a resolution was passed expressing regret at the retirement of Lord Amberley from the representation of the borough• The noble lord has returned a reply, and expressed his sincere satisfac tion at receiving such a mark of good feeling and sympathy. His only claim to the thanks of the meeting tendered to him for his slight services to the constituency in Parliament is that he had been earnestly desirous of acting with a single and conscientious regard for their interests and for those of the country at large. Engaged as he is in an arduous struggle for Liberal prin- ciples in a district where they have long been under a cloud, and having unusual difficulties to encoun ter and unscrupulous efforts to overwhelm him by calumnious accusations, such a declaration is pecu liarly grateful to him. It is understood that Mr. Bernal Osborne will shortly begin a personal can- vass in the town. SUFFOLK (WEST). —The Liberals are endeavour ing to start a candidate in opposition to Major Wind. or Parker and Lord A. Hervey. The name of the candidate selected has not, however, been yet announced. SURREY (MID). —A formal address to the consti tueney of this district has been published by Mr. Charles Henry Rubartes, in which he states that the immediate issue before the country is whether Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone shall direct the na tional counsels, and he declares for the hearty sup port of Mr. Gladstone, inspirel as he is by personal respect and political sympathy. In a full exposi tion of his opinions he shows himself to be unequi vocally in accordance with that right hon. gentle man. He is opposed to the income tax as a con tinuous impost, so long as, in its adjustment, no distinction is made between precarious and perma nent incomes ; and he is in favour of Mr. Locke King's plan for assimilating the devolution of real and personal property in cases of intestacy. Ano therßsareretire, as his object was Liberal candidate—Mr. Marsh Nelson—has f or mally addressed the constituency. There was a very full meeting of th e Liberal committee at the T erm inus Hotel, Cannon•street, yesterday, to meet Mr. Robar tes. Mr. Marsh Nelson was pre sent, and expla ined ; hi s reasons for issuing his address. The commit tee decided unanimously to support as the second Liberal Goldsmid. It is thought candidatet that . tt ‘ r. with I Marsh r Mr.Ne : n b Julian Nelson s will to aid Mr. Goldsmid, and he now clearly under stands that his coming forward is not so received by that gentleman and his friends.

Mr. Harriman took the chair, and briefly introduced the Conservative candidates —the Hon. W. Brodrick and Mr. Peek — to the meeting. The former gentleman he com mended to them on account of the long residence of himself and his forefathers not far from the spot. The Chairman i nformed th e meeting that Mr. Peck haa given n shape awaya great d ea l o f mone y i n Mid Sur rey in the of subscriptions. The two candi dates addressed the meeting in full. TIVERTON.—Mr. Denman, one of the present mem bers for the boro u gh, and who seeks re-elec tion, is engaged i n a p er sonal canvass of the con stituency, and addressed a large meeting from a window of the Palmerston Hall. He entered with great minuteness into his political opinions, which may be described as being strongly Gladstonian. The proceedings terminated with hearty cheers for Mr. Denman, Mr. Amory, the other Liberal candi date, and Mr. Gladstone. WIGAN. —Yesterday the Liberal candidates for Wigan, llenry Wools (one of the sitting members) and John Lancaster, Esqs., issued their addresses to the electors. Mr. Woods, in asking re-election, states that he shall vote with the Liberal party for the disestablishment of the Irish Church, as he does not believe that the majority of his countrymen are in favour of the endowment by the State of several religious denominations in Ireland. After advocating the improvement and enlargement of the opportunities for primary education, Mr. Woods states, that to each one of the following questions submitted to him for his' consideration by the public meeting of working men, viz. :—That for the protection of the electors from intimidation and other unlawful influences voting ought to be by ballot ; that the Irish Church ought to cease as an establishment ; that Parliament ought so to legislate as to protect workmen of all trades from preventible dangers while working in their calling; that the laws relating to masters and workmen should be so amended as to place both on an equality before the law ; that there should be legal protection for the funds of trades unions ; that the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Bill of 18 67 oug ht to be re pealed ; that provision ough t to be made for the education of all the people ; that Mr. Glad stone ought to be supported as the leader of the Liberal party—he has already by letter to their chairman, and in hi§ spoken addresses, given his hearty assent ; and if any means more satis factory than the present can be found for the set tlement of questions between employers and work men, he will bring to its consideration a sincere desire for its success. Mr. Lancaster declares for disestablishment in Ireland, vote by ballot, the repeal of the ratepaying clauses, reduction of ex penditure, &c. YoßE.—The Liberal party of this city, by an almost unanimous vote, have declared themselves in favour of Ur. Brown-Westhead (who formerly represented the city) and Mr. J. H. Gladstone, as the candidates to be supported by them at the next election. The name of Mr. Merry Weather Turner, of London, was also submitted to the meeting, and that gentleman stated that if its opinion Was ad verse to his candidature he should retire. 7 HE L /NE iTIPLOYED POOR. Last night an open-air meeting, convened by the " Unemployed Poor League," was held at the side of the Ironmongers' Arms, Millwall, for the pur pose of bearing a deputation from the league ex- plain its principles and objects. Mr. COOKE, who was called to the chair, said the question upon which they had met was one which the league had deeply at heart, in common with their unemployed brethren. As a body they de sired to help their neighbours with good example and good advice. That meeting would not be the last held this winter, in other places as well as upon that spot, with the view of creating a public opinion in favour of the measures advocated by the league. lie personally knew what it was to have an empty cupboard with a wife and children looking up to him and crying for the bread which he could not give them, and he knew in thousands of cases tears had been wrung from manly eyes by the sufferings they could not alleviate. What the working men wanted was honest work, in order that they might be independent men and live by their own labour. (Hear, hear.) He knew that the working classes in that district had had to encounter many troubles, and that there were per sons who would have helped them with alms, but said that they were not worthy of them. (Cries of "We don't want charity.") As a test of the cha- racter of that meeting he asked all those who were unemployed to hold up one hand. (A. large majo rity of the meeting responded to this appeal by holding up their hands.) What he wanted, and what they ought to insist upon was, not charity, but justice ; and how that could be obtained would be explained by the speakers who would address ;hem. Mr. RIDDLE moved the first resolution, which was to the effect, that it is the duty of the State to provide casual or temporary employment for those having no visible means of lawful subsist- ence other than by their labour, on such terms and conlitio - ns al might be found practical. In supporting thi; resolution, the speaker said they. had come together with one grand object.. namely, how to support the unemployed poor, not of Lon- don only, but of the whole country. Many of them, he knew, preferred to starve rather than wear the hated garb of a pauper. After 300 years of boasted freedom and an Established Church, with institu tions which were boasted of as the most perfect in the world, we had a million of paupers in work houses and three or four millions out. He asked whether it was Christianity to rob men of their natural right to the soil and to reduce millions to the position of paupers who wanted to earn an honest living ? (Hear, hear.) Such things were a scandal to Christianity and to our boasted civilisation. How did it happen that in a land where there were millions of acres of land that had never had a spade put into them there were at the same time millions of men out of work and in want of the sustenance of life ? There was a cause for this, and he would tell them what it was. For 300 years the Church and the State had been twin robbers of the people. The land had been taken from them and given to an overgorged aristocracy and an overgorged Church. Our government had been misgovernment. (Cheers.) He was horror struck at the spectacles produced in this so-called Christian country. It was high time that some thing should be done. This state of things could not continue much longer. They did not want a revolution, but a wholesome reform, based not upon expediency, but upon truth—a reformation based upon the principle that land was God-created for a God-created people. (Cheers.) God did not create paupers. It was the Church and the aristo cracy who bad created paupers, by robbing them of their natural and inherent right in the soil, and then trying to bolster up the injustice by soup kit chens and charitable doles. Between 1760 and 1834 Parliament had passed no less than 3,742 en closure acts, by which 6,840,500 acres 'of common land had been taken from the people. It had been computed that three acres of land, well cultivated, would support eight persons in comfort ; and thus the land taken from the commons would, if pro perly cultivated, have supported a population of 18,240,106 persons. In the face of that fact, why should there be a single pauper in the country instead of millions ? While the landlords had been receiving millions in the shape of rent, the people of England had been paying hundreds of millions in the shape of poor rates ; and all for what ? To support a robbing aristocracy. Why should so many acres be kept as covers for partridges and hares, while men with bodies and souls were starving ? ([rear.) Time did not sanctify the original injustice. If a man robbed him of his watch and kept it in his pocket for six years, he was no less a robber at the end of that time than when the robbery was committed, and the three hundred years which had elapsed since- the landlords and the Church robbed the people did not give them a better claim than when the robbery took place. (Cheers.) If the people h Id the land they would become a self supporting and educated people, and all other re forms were but shams. Until this great reform was accomplished there could be no secure basis for peace, prosperity, and contentment. (Cheers.) Mr. BLIGH seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. MOTE moved and Mr. WEsToN seconded the next resolution :—" That fully believing that the realisation of the closing suggestions containd in Canon Girdlestone's able and truthful p iper, re cently real by him before the disapproving and protesting members of the Association for the Pro motion of Science, would not only promote the wel fare of the agricuttural labourer, but also by their beneficial operation conduce to the advancement of the wages and other important interests of the artisan and all other ',classes of labourers in both town and country districts, as well as speedily empty the unions and poorhouses, reduce ratepayers' burdens, and generally ele vate working men from a state of poverty and dependence to that of a comfortable subsistence, and con•parative and honourable in lependence, and lastly, tend to bring about a more satisfactory ad justment of the social scale, this meeting, composed of the unemployed poor at Millwall and its neigh bourhood, and other persons sympathising with them, strongly and earnestly recommends the next reformed Parliament to embody those suggestions in a legislative enactment." On the motion of Mr. TAYLOR, it was resolved— " That the most hearty thanks of this meeting are given to Canon Girdlestone for his outspoken, truthful, and able paper ; and this meeting also ex presses their sincere hope that the noble canon may be enabled to pursue the same honest, straightfor ward course through life, and thus benefit the many despite the opposition of the few." A vote of thanks to the deputation closed the Iroceedings.

His Grace the Lord Primate of Ireland (the Archbishop of Armagh), in his charge at the trien nial visitation of his diocese, delivered in Armagh Cathedral, on Tuesday, said the dangers which now threaten that branch of the Church of Christ which had, by the grace of God, for 300 years been established in this part of the United Kingdom, were neither unforeseen nor unsuspected. After alluding to the position of the Church of England as intermediate between that of Rome and the Dis- senting bodies, and to that hostility of many of the other Churches to her, his Grace said that many persons, relying on the fact that the great majority of the people of the empire profess the principles of the Refounation, and also on the faith of England being pledged in the Articles of Union to the maintenance of the Irish Church, believed that the danger from that hostility was still remote. In order to satisfy the public mind, which otherwise might be shocked at the infliction of unde,:erved wrong, plausible grounds had been put forward to justify a course of action predetermined upon from other motives. It might be well to consider the pleas assigned in vindication of the doom pronounced by a large political party upon the Protestant Esta blished Church in this country. We are told that it is unjust on the part of the State to maintain in connexion with itself the Church of the minority, and that this injustice can only be removed by the disestablishment of the Irish branch of the United Church. Some weight might be given to this objec- tion if Ireland were in itself a separate kingdom, and if the State there maintained the religion of the minority as a separate and independent institution. But this is not the case. 'lreland is but the part of a great kingdom, the religion of whose State is the reli- pion•—when the whole nation is considered—of the great majority of the people. The members of the Church resident in Ireland are part of that National Church which extends over the whole kingdom ; and the National Church when viewed in relation to the whole kingdom, is the Church of the majority. So long, then, as Great Britain and Ireland are one united kingdom, under one Sovereign, one law, one Parliament—and so long as the National Church remains the Church of the majority, so long will it be impossible t.) prove that the Irish members of that Church belong to a minority. If this view is adopted, the Union is, in fact, dissolved, and a se parate State is constituted of Ireland. Ever con sidering the question solely with regard to Ireland, it is to be observed that the Roman Catholics them selves cannot be connected by au Establishment with the State, for the Sovereign, by a fundamental law of the Constitution, must be a Protestant, and is supreme, according to the law of England, in all causes, ecclesiastical as well as civil. The Roman Catholic Church claims supremacy for a foreign potentate, and never has submitted, and never will submit, to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Crown. This renders the case of Ireland ex- tremely peculiar, even if we were to consider Ire land solely by itself. The result is that the Ro man Catholics, refusing to have any alliance with the State, demand that all connexion between religion and the State should be dissolved in Ireland,. and the Government constituted upon a new foun- dation, ignoring religion altogether in the country, and proceeding in total independence of any reli gious body. This cannot be regarded in,any other light than as a revolution subversive of all the prin ciples hitherto considered essential to good govern ment, and leading to consequences fatal to the peace of society. The Roman Catholics themselves can- ' not enter into union with a State essentially Protes tant ; yet they call upon Government to eject from that union their fellow-subjects who enjoy it in right of a prescription of three centuries. The State in Ireland is to become, as a religion, without form and void. In England and Scotland the ssme State is to remain Christian and Protestant. If a State has adopted an established religion because it is true, and therefore most adapted for the good of the people and the glory of God, it is surely bound to protect its ministers and respect its endowments. This is to be the rule in England, but to cease to govern the conduct of the nation in Ireland. With respect to the argument derived from a majority of the people being of a different persuasion, it is very questionable if at any pe►iod the Church in Ireland, which was in con nection with the Church in England, ever em- braced a majority of the inhabitants. llis grace gave an historical review of the position of the Church of Ireland relative to the Church of Eng- land anterior to the Reformation, commencing with the Council of Cashel, at which the jurisdiction of the Pope and of England were first conceded. Dr. Lanignan, the Roman Catholic historian, had stated that after that council the clergy and people still followed their own ecclesiastical rules, as if that council had never existed. In fact, there were be fore the Reformation two Churches in Ireland—one, the Church of the Parliament and the English party ; and the other, the Church of the Irish clergy and the people. Of these two Churches, or parties in the Church, that which adhered to Eng land was the less numerous. If, after the length ened possession which the Protestant Church had enjoyed of its endowments, and the confirmation of it by the Treaty of Union and repeated acts of Parliament, the clergy were now to he deprived of their property, it was impossible to avoid the infe rence that the right to any property would be re ' duced to a mere possession subject to the capricious exigencies of party interests. One of the leaders of the opposition to the Church had referred to the proposition of uniting benefices where there was a small number of Protestants to gether, and had alleged that the plan was to take the ministers from those parishes and apply the revenues to the use of clergymen in Dublin and Belfast. That statement manifestly referred to a proposition made by the Irish prelates, through himself, to Lord Palmerston's Government, and was founded on an entirely erroneous view of the nature of that proposition. That proposition was to enable the bishops, by an improvement of the law, to unite small benefices together, and thus duly to apportion emoluments to labour. Others had joined in an opposition against the Church from a belief that otherwise we must choose between two alternatives—the endowment of the Roman Ca tholic Church concurrently with the Protestant, or the disestablishment of the Protestant Church. These persons, sooner than see a religion they con demn aided and acknowledged by the State, would destroy the means of support appertaining to a re ligion of which they approve and to which they be long. Whether that were a right principle or not need not now be discussed, as it seemed to be taken for granted that no Government is able to induce the House of Commons to make such an endowment out of the public funds ; and even if it were, the Roman Catholic clergy had pronounced against the scheme. His Grace referred to the declaration of the Roman Catholic prelates against endowment, and to the reasons both of policy and interest which probably induced them to make that declaration. Statements had been made in Parliament as to the very large means received by the Church of Rome from voluntary contributions. One person, who had not been contradicted, and whose authority he had no reason to doubt, had estimated the yearly revenues at not less than £700,000 a year—a re venue so large that they could scarcely be expected to exchange it to become dependent on a Protestant Government. Another topic urged against the Church was, that its property had been unjustly seized from the Roman Catholic Church and trans ferred to the Protestant. When the history of the Irish Church was examined- such statements would be found not t) be correct. No such transfer, in the sense in which the expression was used, took place. Property belonging to one corporate body can be handed over to another only by Act of Parliament. There is no statute declaring that the property should he taken from the one Church and given to the other. It was the owners of it—the clergy themselves—who, retain ing their property, reformed their creed. In the reign of Henry VIII. the great nobles acknow ledged the Royal supremacy ; and in the reign of Elizabeth, all the bishops, except two, on oath ac cepted the supremacy of the Crowu. How for they did this in sincerity and truth, and how many of the clergy really embraced the cause of the Re- formation, it was useless to inquire, and impossible to ascertain. They did what was required of them, and the people repaired to the parish churches. To use the words of the Roman Catholic Bishop Her rington, the great body of the clergy conformed exteriorly to the law. There was no break even in the possession, so as to admit of a transfer. The corporation continued ; maintained its rights un questioned ; and has maintained them to the pre sent time. The Church property of the kingdom belongs neither to the Pope nor to Caesar—neither to the Church of Rome nor to the State of England. It is property devoted to God, consecrated for the maintenance of the ministers of the national religion. When that reli• gion was purified at the Reformation, the clergy, by adopting a creed mare consonant to the Scriptures , did not lose their rights as ministers and members of that National Church. The State, in relation t° that property, is a trustee for the National Church' Another topic urged against the Church was that it had failed in its mission to the majority of tb° people. But the fact was that the greater propor tion of th) educated classes belonged to tha t Church. '1 he historic names connected with the country were from amongst its members ; and tb° majority of the learned professions, mercantile classes, and skilled artisans were members of it. I t had not failed in implanting in them the principles of industry, order, and loyalty ; and as long as it had not he did not understand how it could b e said to have failed in its mission. The truth wa g that 6he Church had to encounter great difficultie s, and had little aid from the State. The State bad given no assistance in bringing the knowledge of the Scriptures to the people through their own language. Archbishops Ussher and Xing and the pious Bishop Bedel found themselves thwarted in their exertions to benefit the poptils . tion by bringing them to a knowledge of the truth. The success, therefore, of the Church becam e bounded by the line that separated education from ignorance, and its limit was prescribed by the knowledge of the English language. His gra ce referred to other difficulties in the way of th e Church from the troubled periods which had oe' curred in the history of this country. It was 11(3t until after the revolution of 1688 that either pea ce or security was provided for the Church. Ravi referred in detail to other causes which had thwa rted the success of the clergy in their efforts to spread the knowledge of a pure religion amongst the 113 ‘ tives of this country, his grace adverted to the pr e; sent prospects of the Church, and stated his belie that if the views of those who are opposed tothc; Establishment were to prevail, having r e g ar to the great extent of the country, and to t'4s mode in which the Protestant population ago spread over the entire surface of it, it would not ' o possible for them to maintain a ministry adecitl red in number or education to meet what was req ue for their spiritual welfare. He had no doubt eve l exertion would be made both by the clergy s° , people ; but when he considered the great te rritory to be provided with ministerial care, and the nail. ; ber of inhabitants, and the pecuniary circurnstanc', ' of the resident people, he feared that disend own3ea would, as regarded a great part of the country, r si suit in nothing short of a withdrawal of sp iritti ministrations. It had been said that in the p ro P es ' pa b ° spoliation the life interests of the clergy "iv° l he ft respected. This might save individuals and heir families from personal suffering, and relieve t it authors of the scheme from some reproach, bt i o f would afford no compensation to the Protestants Ireland for the violation of their dearest rig io , to and the deprivation of their most cherished „to stitutions. The effect of these measures Wftbo be that ultimately the means of existence '3' !art, m e clergy would be totally taken away. Over sea; tracts of the country the churches would be el ° ,o and in those parts of the country, the paateso'ela population being the minority, their faith svt became virtually proscribed. He felt also their, sense of insecurity would greatly impede anY tions of the members of the Church to create be N ull tentation fund for the clergy. Who would boo to subscribe to an endowment which might , Iv a On e party interest required it, be swept away• 9 fe el the rights of property are invaded no man CaO fleet secure as to what may happen. We cannot °lto the Roman Catholics to bear all their t ritlul Pro' meekly ; nor is it to be expected that the op g testants will endure what they cgnsider 3 p: to without, at least, angry feelings. lt l ur e!!, be feared that the disestablishment of the I'LL tiny without conferring any benefit whatever LlP oll Wbo le member of the community, will array the o i. population in two hostile camps, revive ancient mosaics, as well as create new causes of Con te blighting the prospect of national union , and gOOV ing more hopeless than ever that which 31l oleo men have ever desired and laboured for---tbe_ i o te of different classes, and the blending o f them tole• one society, in which goodwill and muttl ration shall minister to a permanent peao°Sboeld Grace then referred to the course whicbof tbo be pursued by the clergy and mem bers to t he Church in the event of the opposition cot' • f a rly P 0 1 Establishment being successful, partien he fi,of ing out the necessity of adhering to the 100 Supeemacy and to a permanent an' An d re; uniou with the Church of Englan d, ao d t b , marking that in that union lay the duty re safety of the Irish clergy.
