Wels ford, mayor of this borough, convened a meeting of the inhabitants and visitors at the Guildhall yesterday for the purpose of taking steps to co-operate with the London committee in raising funds for the relief of the destitute sufferers by the mutiny in- India. His worship presided, and was sup ported by Mr. B. J. ,B. Campbell, one of the mem bers and by many of the clergy and principal inhabitants of the town. _ _ Mr. ELIOT, a" county magistrate, proposed the first resolution, 'which was as follows : " That this meeting desires to express its sympathy with the many helpless sufferers who are reduced to a stale of destitution by the late mutinies in India, and feels called upon to record its detestation of the unheard of atrocities of the rebel army, and its cruelty to help less females, children, and our unarmed Christian fellow iubj cts, and trusts that the efforts now being made for the punishment of the guilty'may, by the Divine bless ing, be crowned with the earliest success:" Captain PROWSE, R.N. , seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The Rev. R. J. LYON proposed the next reso lution : " That, in consideration of the survivors of these un heard-of brutalities being now dependent on others for clothing, food, and slater, in addition to their cruel lose of husbands and parents, this meeting anxiously entreats the benevolent contributions of its fellow-townsmen and visitors to relieve in some measure the want and suffer ing of the afflicted." He urged that it was the duty of all 'Christians and lovers of their country. not only to do all in their power to relieve the sufferers by this wide spread mutiny, but to do more than that. Never, perhaps in the history of any heathen nation were such atrocities heard of as were now perpetrated in India, and that under the pretext of religion, for he feared that it was a Mahomedau feeling which moved those wretches, as he might well call them, to the perpetration of outrages which could not be exceeded by a nation of savages. The Rev. G. JACKSON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. CAMPBELL, M.P., proposed,— " That subscription lists be opened at eaoh of the banks and libraries of this town, and that the amounts as collected be forwarded to the L ird Mayor and the London committee to be added to the general fund for carrying out the objects of the meeting." The hon. member, with the permission of the Mayor, added the following rider : "That this meeting, feeling satisfied that the appeal made on behalf of their fellow-countrymen in India must be liberally responded to in this country and throughout our vast possessions abroad, would urge upon the central committee in London the creation of a fund having for its object the formation of schools in the healthy hill stations of India, for the education and maintenance of the children of European soldiers, this fund to be created out of the surplus contributions received, after satisfying the pressing wants of the sufferers by the mutinies." He then observed that he was sure a gallant and distinguished general whom he saw in the room (General Huish), and who had been some time in India, would bear tt-stimony to the advantages which would erise from the establishment of such schools. They would not only improve the morality of the army and raise a barrier against the encroach , ment of the native influence, but would be likely to promote coleniiation in our Indian possessions. Mr. ANDERSON, in seconding the. resolution, re mark that the establishment of schools in the hill districts was no new idea, as tbe subject had been taken in hand by the late Sir H. Lawrence. Mr. S. C. HALL supported the resolution. The resolution, with the rider, was then carried unanimously. A committee was appointed to carry out the resolution, and a vote of thanks to the chairman was agreed to. It is intended to make a house-to-house collec tion in the curse of a few days ; but the Mayor announced, during the above proceedings, that several gentlemen had a2ready put their names down for sums which amounted to upwards of 551., including 201. from Mr. Campbell, M.P. THE GOOD OLD ELECTION , TIDIES. 1 1 Our present County and Borough elections are very tame affairs compared with the glorious sattnei nalia which used to be celebrated before the Reform Bill. Those old elections were indeed grand, olds fashioned affairs. We go back to 'them With a sort of pride even now. To be sure, they will not bear examination, but no more would the feasts of the godson Olympus or the suppers of the .Wat halla. Twenty-one days of uninterrupted drinking, riot, shouting, 'bands playing; colours flying, crowds marching backwards and forwards througls the streets, all business at a standstill, all cage flung aside, a free vent given to everybody's pug nacity of fist, leg, or tongue—one universal holy day row—this was a glotions seen in its way. The ancients attributed a sort of divinity and in spisation to these scenes of extravagant aband on, where human nature broke loose from the restraints of cold reason and gave way entirely to wild impulses and, humours, to unbounded riot and genialitye—that poetry of license, • disorder, and laxity which Poussin sometimes delighted to ex press on canvas. These exhibitions were indeed the last relics of the old Saxon days, with their wassails, when Christianity and bivilization had but half conquered the religion of Odin. • • But it is not only the abcptdon of "the mass, 'the riot and confusion of the crowd, which deserves notice in these past scenes ;• but, still more, the abecnclon of the great families—the blind reckless expenditure, whichshut its eyes to all consequences, and resolved to win an Election at the cost of no matter what number of broad acres, no matter what fine mansions to be demolished or sold—at the risk, in stunt, of utter ruin. This is much more wonderful, in fact, than the 21 day.' row and drinking in the lower electioneering world, because the truth is, there was no g.e.t wonder that when you gave people as much as they liked to drink they drank it, and, having drunk, wore rather disorderly ; the wonder was, that gentlemen and heads of fami lies should be willing to make that sacrifice of pro perty upon which all this riotous festivity arose. The Yorkshire elections, in which the familieS of Fitzwilliam and Lascelles enga?,ed, cost hundreds of thousands, Sir Francis Burdett's election for Middlesex was also a hundred thous•aid pounds af fair, besides the whole contents of the baronet's cellar, which yielded to the 21 days' sitting of the committee in his house in Piccarlidy. The contests in Wiltshire between the Benette Methuens, and Long Wellesley were enormously costly, as were also the Norfolk contests between Cole) and Wede house. Some of these families have never recovered from the effects of these o retests ; they are to this day crippled in means, and have to indulge in the memory of past grandeur, and refer to the ann of the family as it flourished in the days before this and that disastrous election, ss consolation to them for their present reduced fortunes. The reckless ness of electioneering expend tura on the part of the chiefs who dared to face theca ruinous results is, as a display of character, more astosi,hing a great deal than any quantity of drunkeness and fighting in the crowd. We really stare in amazement, and. say, " Is this the English character, pcp til arly con sidered so prudent, calculating, and co d?" If we saw this in professed spendthrifts and wild young twin we shouldnot wonder, but here were the most respectable men in the country, Leads of estab• lished families, men in middle life, men proud of their family position, and anxious t r maintain it and hand it down undiminished, g ambling fright fully. The prospect of a peerage, indeed, was some thing, but still one feels that our national character must have undergone a naodifizatien since those days. There was something wild and uncivilised in this enormous extravagance and reckless emptying of the family purse. Our Romeos and. Capulets used to meet in the streets and fight it out. This was fighting with the pocket instead of the sword. There is a popular heroism connected with simple expenditure. Great feats of expenditure are ad mired by the crowd, and class with conspicu• us acts of personal courage ; the wholesale sacrifice of the precious article has for them something in itself grand, brilliant, and imposing about it, and makes a "fine fellow." Cleopa`ra drinking her pearl, and sailors eating back-notes beteeen th it bread and butter are admired in the'r way, though by a different class. Compared with the old heroic electioneering ex penses, Lord Althorp's 8,0001. for the last Election in the Southern Division of Northamptonshire is almost tame and moderate. NorharaptonsLire once vied with the most extravagant electioneering counties in its outlays on these occasions, and now it makes an effort to sustain its old name—indo , d, the most valiant effort in this dire3tion that was made siroughout the whol3 of the late general election, for Lord Althorp's was, wo beLeve, most expensive of all the rec nt elections. But how feeble an effort it is ! The 8,0001. which fi;urts in the official account of the expenses probably repre sents, indeed, a larger sum really expended, 'tut still such expenditure hides its diminished Read when compared with the unbounded. carte blanche of former days. Of this 8,0001. nearly 6,0001. is about equally divided between lawyers expenses and expenses of conveyance—two very cold and ungenial items. The hotel bills amount to 740/. ! What a fall from the unchecked inagnficence of this department of expenditure, when the " old anarch," ale, was crowned and enthroned in a thousand publichouses ! How poor a sound kayo these " hotel bills !" The spirit of Sir John Fal staff rises at that word. " What is that word hotel ?' Alehouse, I suppose you mein." No ; we mean hotel. Modern elections know nothing of alehouses, they only acknowledge hot,lß, where sober clerks and respectable solicitors meet to transact business with pen and ink. All this change which has come over the spirit of elections is, lioff ever, only a sample of a general change which bas come over society at large. Our drinking squires, our assailants of watchmen, our swealing captains, are now almost a bygone generation. We here and there meet with some one who keeps up the old traditions, but the age has left him behind. — Times. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. GOVERNMENT INQUIRY AT BELFAST. Mr. David Lynch, Q.C., Roman Catholic and Whig, and Mr. Hamilton .Smythe, Q.C., Protes tant and Conservative, the Commissioners ap pointed by the Lord-Lieutenant to inquire into the recent disgraceful outrages in Belfast, arrived there yesterday morning and formally opened the sittings of the commission at 3 o'clock in the County Court-house. Among those present as li , teners were the Protestant and Roman Catholic Bishops, the Mayor of Belfast, and several local civil authorities. Mr. A. O'Rourke appeared for the Roman Catholic 'inhabitants who had suffered by, the riots ' • Mr. John Rea for some others, and alEcrto lay his own views on the subject before the commissioners ; Mr. M‘Meehan represented the ultra-Protestant party. Subjoined is the report of the opening statement on the part of the Govern- :Went " Mr. Lynch, Q. C., in opening the commission, said — Before proceeding to discharge the duties which devolvo upon us under the warrant of the Lord Lieutenant, I wish to state the nature of the inquiry which we are di rected to make, and; that it may be understood, the course of proceeding that we intend to adopt. A memo rial extensively signed by, I am informed, most ofthe leading gentlemen of this city was forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant, and by it it was stated that the memorialists entrecth d Attention to the occurrences which have taken place ants the 12th of July. They stated that riots had occurred which lasted for seven days in succession, and called fora searching investigation into the origin of the At the time of the presentation of that memorial riot . the riots alluded to in it hid occurred ; but of course we all must regret to have to add that since that memorial was presented a state of things even something worse continued to exist in the town, and I am sorry to be ob• liged to say, from such information as has been furnished to us, that up to the present time this state of things exists. In consequence of that memorial the Lord Lieutenant directed .to Its a warrant desiring us to ,hold a court of inquiry. The terms of that warrant I shall ❑ow read. [VIr. Lynch then read the warrant directing himself and Mr. Smythe to hold a court of inquiry on the 14th of September and following days, to inquire into and investigate all matters connected with the origin and character of the riot 4 and disturbances which commenced in Belfast on the 13th of July, and continued thereafter for several successive days, and were renewed on the 6th of September, and continued for some days since, and the consequences which have resulted from such riots and disturbances ; also to inquire into the local arrangements for the ',reservation of the peace, the suppression of the riots, and the force usually available there fersuch purposes, and the adequacy of the means for the restoration of order and tranquillity.] Pursuant to this warrant we proceed to hold the inquiry. But I think it necesary fully to explain that, in conducting this inquiry, there is no view whatsoever to bring home conviction or punishment to any individual in respect to acts which have previously been committed. This com mission is not intended to be brought in aid of any prosecution to be instituted against persons for an in- fraction of the law. It is not our intention at all to fix guilt upon individuals. That matter will be for the ordinary tribunals. Our purpose is a more general and, to uc, infinittly more grateful one. It is intended to have an operation for the benefit of all, and to try and devise means for the protection of the town, which has hitherto been endangered. There is no man of right feeling who must not regret the state of things which exists and has existed here for some time. How such a state of things could have arisen in a town like this — remarkable for commerce end everything that marks refinement and progress—fills one with surprise and regret. Every man of right mind will feel it his duty and interest to do everything possible in showing how this state of things hiss originated, tracing, if possible, the origin of these proceedings. We must naturally enter, I fear, into some things we must all regret—some matters connected with politic 2, and some matters distantly connected with religion. Such inquiries are only made, not that any rankling feelings may be crated, but that such may if possible be prevented. In such a state of things between conflicting parties it is likely that, as in cases between individuals, no one party almost is wholly blameless, nor any wholly to blame. Ido hope and trust that the very fact of men coming before an impartial tribunal on both sides, and telling th.ir grievances, or fancied grievances, will in the end lead them absolutely to see that there is still in this town, as elsewhere, a ownmon ground of brotherhood for different parties and different religions. Mr. Lynch then proceeded to say that the court would be open to all parties as witnesses, and that they would take a chrono logical course, beginning with July, and coming up to the present time." The protracted nature of the inquiry may be learnt join the fact that Mr. O'Rourke stated that there were no fewer than 76 witnesses to be brought forward on the Roman Catholic side ; while those to be produced for the Protestant party were pretty nearly equal. After some preliminary skirmishing between counsel and the Court, in reply to Mr, O'Rourke, " Mr. Lynch said the commissioners would not close the inquiry upon auy particular branch until they rose. In order that every opportunity might he afforde 1 for a full investigation, evidence would be received at any stage upon any branch of the subject. " Mr. Wineahan observed that there would be a diffi culty in getting witnesses to volunteer evidence which might implicate others. " Mr. Lynch.--Our object is not to obtain evidence for the conviction of any person. We wish to learn all the facts, arid, having learnt them, to be enabled to sug gest a remedy that will be for the public good. " Mr. Rea mentioned that the inquiry differed in one material respect from that which took place in reference to the Dolly's•bree affair. There only one issue had to be tried ; here there were 50 different issues. 14 Mr. Smythe remarked that there were informations in the Dolly'e-brae case. " Mr. Rae said there were not. Lord Roden and the Meisrs. Beeres took informations against no one. They were the real offenders. The inquiry by Mr. Berwick p w r e ti ;e lu d c i ed sro t i h ml e best edf esu ro r mth lt e s. co L m e m rd is lo s l ion clen of ai t i h d e th p e ea ß e e e e , re a s n e d s an act of Parliament was passed in the nest session in reference to Orange processions, and ever since there had been no rioting in that part of the country. Ile hoped the same course would be taken in this instance, for nothing less than legislation would prevent a recur reece of the scenes which had since July last disgraced Belfast. " It was finelly arranged that the inquiry should commence this day at 12 o'clock." An independent Protestant journal (the Belfast Mercury) has the following remarks upon the sub ject of street preaching generally : " The whole origin of these riots is to be traced to the indiscretion of those of those who desired to follow street preaching on the Sabbath. Many things may be lawful but not expedient, and street preaching is one of them. The right exists in its perfect plenitude, and it is credit able to our free constitution that it should so exist ; but society is held together by a series of compromises be- tween the plenitude of individual natural rights and the public weal ; we must all content to sacrifice somewhat of our individual liberties for the general good govern ment and wellbeing of the commonwealth. It was, therefc re, highly creditable to the Episcopal Parochial Mission that when the members found their public ser vices, though not in themselves calculated to create dis turbances, had nevertheless done so by affording a pre text to evil disposed persons to violate the public peace —it was in all respects creditable to them that they at once notified their determination to refrain from exer cising their right under present circumstances. An at tempt was male to deter them from doing so by the vulgar argument that if they adopted such a prudent course they would be succumbing to mob law, and give to their Roman Catholic assailants a triumph. But they , rose superior to such mental considerations, and the re sult is that the public feeling and the public sympathy are with them. Any man whose good opinion is worth having they have, owing to the discretion and judgment and true regard for the interests of religion with which they acted. But when the episcopal clergy withdrew from the field, the howl was raised that Protestant liher tiee were to be sacrificed to Papist intolerance and pre judices, and other actors appealed on the scene whose course of action was not so much disgraceful as conge nial to themselves. They ma le the interests of Pro testantism and of religion snbercient to their own sel fish schemes and morbid vanities. • It would be impossible to imagine anything more disreputable to the character of a free and enlightened press than the con duct pursued by the party journals on bOth sides. As a gentleman remarked to another, do not wonder at the brutality and stolid iguorauce of the mobs in doing what is so des'ructive to their own interests when I look into the party organs that profess to be the guides of party opinion, arid find the brutal violence of the mob excelled by the brutal intolerance and folly of those news papers.' And such, in truth, is the disgraceful fact. The idea that any good cause can be served by such pro ceedings is shamefully ridiculous. Religion is injured, and the religious feelings of the commueity are cutrageel by the violence of bigots and hypocrites. It is to be hoped that common sense will gradually regain its sway among us, and that the decencies of the Sabbath wiel no longer be outraged by such flaerants acts of violence. In abstaining from exercising the right of preaching in the public thoroughfares there is no 'abandonment of principle whatever—no surrender of any Gospel privi lege ; acal those who fancy there is are very grievously mistaken. Let not the Roman Catholic rabt le imagine, for one moment, that any c mcession has been made to their eenseless prejudices and inveterate bigotries. They must be made to understand and to feel that this is a free country—that whsle they are protected in the free exercise of their own religion the like protection extends to others. The genius of the age looks upon all mem bers of the State as entitled to equal Civil and religion rights and privileges—equality for e.ll'in the eye of the law, but ascendancy to none, is the constitutional maxim that now prevails." • CHELTENHAM. A large and influential meeting of the inhabitants of Cheltenham took place at the Assembly-rooms yesterday for the purpose of raising subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers in India. Between three and four hundred ladies and gen tlemen ware present, among whom were J. Agg Gardner (Lord of the Manor), Sir A. Ramsay, M.P., Rev. E. Walker (Incumbent of Chelten ham), Col. Kennedy, Col. Wood, Col. Decluzocu, Col. Willats, General Laurie, General Brett, Mr. G. Russell (high bailiff), Rtv. A. Boyd, Rev. J. Maynard, Col. Harding, Col. Kirwan, Capt. Ire dell, Mr. James Webster, General Conran, Mr. C. J. Bird (Madras Civil Service), Mr. George 13;rd, Mr, Thomas Fortescue, Col. Douglas, Dr. Keir, Col. Warner Higgins, Capt. Frobisher, &c. Mr. J. AGG GARDNER having been voted to the chair, opened the proceedings by calling on Gen. Conran to move the first resolution, whicli was to the following effect " That the inhabitants of Cheltenham, while record ing their indignation at the atrocities inflicted on their countrymen and countrywomen in India, desire to ex press their earnest sympathy with the numerous families who have in consequence been plunged into affliction and distress, and resolve that a sub , oription be imme diately opened for the purpose of affording relief to the sufferers." The Rev. A. BoyD, incmbent of Christ Church, in seconding this resolution, described the fearful atrocities which had taken placa in India, express ing his opinion that the causes of the outbreak were mainly to be attributed to the desire of the fol lowers of Mahornet to regain their long-lost sway over the Eastern empire, and were not in any way connected with the unfolding of the Gospel of Christ in that country, and concluded by an elo quent appeal to the meeting for support, on the threefold ground of humanity, justice, and sym pathy for their fellow-countrymen and country= women in the East. The resolution was carried with acclamalion. Sir A. Ramsly, M.P. for Rochdale, proposed the second resolution "That books bo opened at the various banks and ' libraries in Cheltenham for the purpose of receiving sub- Fcription-,, and that Mr. James Webster and Mr. James Agg Gardner be requested to act as treasurers to the fund, and Mr. Henry Davis as honorary secretary." _ _ He (Sir A. Rams;y) was of opinion that the dis graceful mutinies of the Bengal Sepoys would soon be overcome, and that we should then be able to place the British power in India on a firmer basis than before, and add greater lustre to what we might still call the brightest jewel in the British Crown ; for, whether we looked at our possessions in India as a record of the brilliant prowess of our armies, or as a monument to show the nations of the world what English enterprise and energy can do, we must look upon the conquest of India as a grand achievement, and he trusted that when the Bri tish Legislature remsembled they would lay aside for a time all minor subjects, and defoto their whole energy to the consideration of the restoration of British power in India. But in the meantime there ninst be many near and dear friends in that far-off land whose distresses and calamities needed our sympathies and support. Mr. C. HOGG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the 1 proceedings. Before leaving the room upwards of 2001. was subscribed. IPSWICH. Yesterday (Tuesday) the Mayor of Ipswich issued the following appeal to the inhabitants : " The Mayor desires to announce to the residents of Ipswich and its surrounding vicinity that he will be happy to receive and forward to the Lord Mayor such subscriptions as they may desire to contribute in aid of our suffering fellow-countryme n and countrywomen in India. The Mayor is quite sure the ex , .:itement of a public meeting is not needed to induce in this very pain ful emergency the deope,t iutereA and the prompt and benevolent aid of the people of Ipswich and its neigh bourhood ; they have ever been ready to contribute for x the relief of the suffering and di stresse d , an d sure l y t h ere pressing or imperative call than bene volence. The Mayor cr , nfidently hopes this appeal will meet a cheerful and very general response " has the present never a r for arisen t na e moreer of their sy m p a thy an d cige THE CATTLE MIIRRAIN.--The Bridgwater Times says : ii W e are sorry to report the appearance of this .‘ttal complaint among the cattle of the marshes of this neighbourhood. Though at present to a small x i, en t, yet several cases of ' pleura-pneumonia,' or, r.s it is variously named, " lung distemper,' or ' pulmonary murrain,' have most unmistakably appeared, and proved fatal in the rich marsh lands east.vard of Bridgwater, of sufficient frequency to excite alarm, and justify the most cautious watching and atteution on the part of the far mer ; for should the disease become prevalent in this ' iistrict, the consequences would be most serious." 'lbis disease has also been imported froml Ireland into the county of Worcester. 1 THE REGISTRATIONS. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. Yesterday, Mr. Launcelot Sliadwell, the bar rister appointed to revise the list of voters for the metropolitan county, opened his court at the White Horse, Uxbridge. Mr. Harper. from the office of the clerk of the peace, attended, and handed in the lists from the numerous places included in the county. The liberal interests on this occasif , n were re presented by Mr. Humphreys - (of the firm of Humphreys and Knight), of Spiral-square and Pall-mall, who appeared for the Middlesex Re form Association ; Mr. Tiros. Alley Jones, of Clifford's-inn, appearing for the Conservatives. The day's revision comprised the districts of Cowley, Harefield, Hayes, Hillingdon, Ickenham, Norwood, Ruislip, Uxbridge, and West Drayton. In neither of tkese places was there one objec tion taken by either conservative or liberals, and the objections made by overseers were simply in cases of deaths or removals. On the Ickenham overseers being called upon to produce their new list, it was stated that there was only one new claimant, whereupon Mr. Jones observed that ho held in his hand a very long list purporting to contain the names of new claimants. Mr. Humphreys, after examining the docu ment, said that he presumed Oaf, the overseers of the quiet district of Ickenham must be partial, and have much time to devote to the caligraphic art, as the list produced was an extact copy of the register, with the heading " New Claimants." Mr. Jones—With ono exception ; and I submit that this one claimant should not lose his vote through the bungling of the overseer. The Revising Barrister said that he would be. most unwilling to deprive any freeholder of his vote, but he could not admit the list before him ; it was most irregular. Could the oveimeer pro duce the original claim ? Overseer—Yes, your Honour ; here it is. (Pro ducing a document.) Mr. Jones contended that the claim having been placed on the church doors, in accorlauce with t;he provis'ons of the Act of Parliament, all that the barrister had to do was to strike out all the names already on the register, erroneously copied by the overseer, and retain only the name of the one new claimant. The Revising Barrister —By adopting such a s course a very bad example would b e shown ; besi e the registration would occupy doullo the ordinary time. Mr. Humphreys—ln addit ion to the coge hreoaw sons given by the . Court, I am .preparedarc to d os that the document purp ortin g to be the original claim is signed by the overseer, and not by the claimant at all. . The Revising Barrister—That being the case, which is not denied by the overseer,! and the claimant not being present to substantiate his right to vote, the claim must be disallowed, Claim disallowed. The Barrister, in order to rank his dm' approba- ) r }- Yl‘z z 2 411111 ` [PRICE 4D. TAMPED tion of the manlier in which the overseers of this district had performed their duty, disallowed the customary expenseF. I the other districts, no case of the least public interest arose. It is intimated that in several of the more populous districts the liberals have taken an unusual number of objections, in consequence of information during the recent election, of deaths and removals of persons whose names still appear upon the register. The next court will be held at Bedfont, on Thurs day. EAST SURREY. Sir Walter Buchanan Riddell, Bart., the barrister appointed to revise the lists of voters for the Eastern Division of Surrey, held his first court yesterday, at the Vestry Hall, Kennington-green, and 13: , ! an with those of the 'parishes of Clapham, Lambeth, and Streatham. Mr. George R. Corner, solicitor, Mr. Thomas Jeans, secretary to the East. Surrey Reform Regis tration Society, and Mr. Winghara, appeared for the liberals ; and Mr. Colombo, from the office of Mr: Edward Mcymott, attended to the conservative interest. The revision commenced with the lists of the parishes of Clapham and Streatham, in which the overseers have very properly objected to the_name.s_ of many persons, mostly on the grounds of deaths, removal from the parishes, and by reason Of re claims, and thereby saved the time of the court, ua left but little to the agents to do. On opening the lists for the parish of Lambeth, Mr. Maker proved the servica of notice of objec tion, through the postmaster, to the name of Mr. Robert William Alabaster, and on handing a copy of it to the Revising Barrister, Sir Walter asked for a copy of the notice given to the overseers. Mr. Baker said he gave a notice to the overseers, but did not keep a copy of it. Sir Walter Riddell replied—l think your notice won't dn. Mr. Corner submitted that the objecf - or had done all that the Act of Parliament required by giving notice to the overseers, who have adopted the ►.otices, and published the list. A copy of it was before the court, and in the hands of the clerk of the peace. The objection was allowed. The court was adjoured. until 11 o'clock this morning to the Workhouse Committee Room, Ber mondsey, when it will proceed with the revision of the lists of the polling district of Bf,rtnondse3,-.. STATE 01± TRADE. MANCHE )TER, SEPT. 15. The d. , :mand for Germany and for Russia still continu-s, an 1 under the influence of competition, chiefly from these sources, the price of yarn fully keeps pace with that of cotton. All kinds of twist suited to these markets have advanced, and are re ported at fully id. per lb. over our last Tuesday's prices. The home trade consumers of yarn are com pelled to give a similar advance, and have come into the market with tolerable freedom for what they require; but their requirements grow : less, and are likely to decline more sensibly under the influence of a competition which is driving up prices so alarmingly in the present bareness of cotton sup ply. The orders for yam on Russian account are said to be very large, and are r2p3rted to have been teleg , a,plied to agents here for this week past, with out limit as t) price. In such a sta'e of the market .he position of the manufacturer becomes daily more embarrassMg, from inablity to obtain remu nerative rates for manufactured goods. The makers of heavy cloths are pretty well supplied with orders, hut the light fabrics for India awl some other mar• kets ent rely fail to command rates proportioned to the increased and increasing cost of yarn, and the policy of many of our millowners at present, seems 10 be to stop their looms as much as pissibli, and throw the produce of the spindle into the mar ket to mike the best of the large foreign demand for yarn. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " The market for goods is in much the same position as repotted on Tuesday last, the only difference being that the features are more strongly marked. Cotton and yarns continue their upward course, and, as it is impossible to realise a corresponding advance on goods, the manufacturers of heavy fabrics, who are pretty generally under contract, decline to engage themselves deeper ; and the makers of light goods are rapidly diminishing their production, and refuse to sell unless at a considerable advance on the prices lately current. The market, therefore, for nearly all kinds of goods is quiet but excsedingly firm at our quotations." Messrs. Fraser, Son, and Co. report " The market is moderately firm, but with less busi ness in cl)th and yarns. Prices are about the. same a 9 last week." LE EDS, SEPT. 15. Some improvement was noticeable in the cloth markets to day, and more business was done than on last Tuesday. The demand has rather increased for the home trade, while several of the export houses are sending off fair orders. The aspect of the woollen trade, in spite of the mutiny in India and some other unpropitious circumstances, is a satisfactory one for the winter months, the only drawback being the high price of the raw Materials used in the manufacture of the best cloth. HUDDERSFIELD, SEPT. 15. There has been a good attendance of buyers this morning, and the market has shown some anima tion. For middle class unions there has been a good demand, as there also has for the better style f waistcoatings. Low goods, particularly cheap plays, have sold. well, and altogether the market has been rather brisk. Wools still high and firm in price, but scarcely so much doing. PERFUMES AND THEIR MANUFACTURE, (From Fraser's Magazine.) The most novel and remarkable feature of the present manufacture of perfumes is the establish ment of flower farms. Flowers indeed have taken the place of ambergris, musk, civet, and the olori &rens gums, which are now only used to give sta bility to the more evanescent scents. There are flower farms in Europe and Asia, and 'another is likely to be started in Australia, for the cultivation of the wattle, a plant of the acacia geniis, and re sembling in odour very powerful violets. Practical men bear in mind the cheapness of mitten fat (a very necessary consideration, the preparation of suet being an important branch of the perfumery business), and anticipate success. England has her* flower farm at Mitcham, iu Surrey, where lavender and peppermint flourish nnrivalled. Roses are also cultivated there, but only for the purpose of making rose-water. The French rose-water, however, is far superior ; and for otto of roses we are depend ant upon India and Turkey. The otto obtained from roses grown at Gbazepore, in India, gained the prize at the Great Exhibition, in 1851. In Turkey, the cultivation is chiefly attended to by the Chris tiansio the district of the Balkan. From that neigh bourhood are obtainel every year, on an average, 40,000 ounces of the otto. Some idea may bo gained of the extent of the rose plantations from the fact that 2,000 rose-blooms yield but one drachm of otto. Patchouli, another Eastern plant, is said to have been introduced into Europe in the following manner :—lt was observed by the purchasers and sellers in Paris of Indian shawls that they possessed a peculiar fragrance. It was useless to attempt to pass off home-spun; !: goods for the genuine article ; however admirable was the imitation, the fraud was immediately detected by the absence of the true smell. At last the .haberdashers discovered the sa cret ; the scent was owing to patchouli, and the plant, which was then first imported to aid the de ceptions of trade, soon became a fashionable per fume. We may be said to be indebted to all parts of the globe for our perfumery : but the real garden of the perfumer is the south o f Euro p e.' Grasse and Nice, owing to their po sition, are the principal seats of the art. The violet blooms most happily beneath the cold shelter of the Alps ; while 'the more tender plants, as mignonette and orange trees, are cherished by the soft breezes of the southern coast. It would be useless to enumerate the long list of plants whose sweetness is introduced into our scent-bottles and pomades. It is an easier task to mention a few of those that we only enjoy in their sale the n ative fres l tness: hone y suckle, sweet- p e a, mag nolia, sweetbrier , cl o ve p ink, and wall - flower, are he most fttniliar.

Heliotrope, vanilla, orange blossom, and almond, form what has been called ona octave of odours ; patchouli, vitivert, and san dal-wool form another.

BERLIN, Sm. 12. The members of the Evangelical conference were summoned to attend the King yesterday afternoon. Nearly the whole of them were collected by three o'clock at the terminus of the railway to Potsdam, whence three express trains conveyed them to the Wildpark station. The number so conveyed was estimated at something more than a thousand. From Wildpark station they all went on foot in a body to the New Palace, where lun cheon was laid out in the spacious saloons. After luncheon the guests adjourned from the landing place of the palace to the garden side, where they ranged themselves accord. ing to their several nationalities, and so as to completely occupy the right landing place. His Majesty arrived in a carriage at half-past five o'clock, accompanied by her Majesty the Queen, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Hessen-Philippsthal, from the Castle of Sans-Souci, and entered for a few moments the apartments of the Palace. His Majesty then made his appearance on the open fight of steps, facing and over looking the assembly. Near him stood the General Field. Marshal Count von Dohna and General Count von der Glee' en. The King wag received with a loud hurrah by all present. The Pastor Kuntze, in the name of the meeting, delivered an address, to which his Majesty replied in a few short but heartfelt sentences. All the members of the committee, and the chiefs of the foreign deputations, were then pre. sented, with all of whom he conversed for a considerable time. At 7jo'elock his Majesty took h:s leave, whereupon the members sang with uncovered heads and in the open air, the first verse of the hymn " Our God is a et- ong tower," and Pastor Krummaoher delivered the prayer for the health of their Majesties the King and Queen. From the report published in the New Prussian Gazette we perceive that Chevalier Bunsen was present on the occasion, and was greeted by several of the English and other distinguished persons. The following is the address which Pastor Kuntze, the president, delivered to the King : " In the name of the principal and local committees, the duty devolves on me to lay at the feet of your Ma jesty our deep thanks for the great favour conferred on us this day. The happiness we experience is great, that your Majesty should have first conceived in your heart the idea of causing the faithful children of God to assemble from all parts of the earth. Your Majesty has already seen many armies—here likewise is an army, and though not clad in military attire, yet still armed with the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, and the sword of the spirit—an army which serves the King of Kings, but which is also devoted to your Ma- . jesty in the deepest humility. May your Majesty re. ceive the shout, that has just been given, as one pro. our lied ed p ai eof perceived with this at d rce ceeding from the bottom of sincere and u p ri g ht h not earts, and may God bless your M a j est y and y royal home." His Majesty was visibly m uch affected, and answered nearly as follows : meet ingfirst" I feel myself deeply a ffected and sur p rised b y the .wgaorn words T e t r a i dhec h t ssi eap e ts y y afo m fto le I su p ohandc a uth.h great y f u t e s n a . t a r y I thatthhea v joy tilt a blessed beg innin g has been made.

The lest phrase made evidently a deep impression on the whole assembly.
