REVIEWS OF BOOKS. 27e Works of Tacitus. The Oxford Translation revised. With Notes. London : Henry G. Bohn. Tim, which is the first volume of the famed historical work of the celebrated Annals of Tacitus, gives, in an agreeable English dress, the nervous and lucid narration of the great Roman historian. Commencing with a summary review of the family history of Augustus, it passes in rapid, but not less vivid recapitulation, the various incidents of Roman history, till, on closing the first volume, the reader finds himself engaged in studying the wild, rapa cious, foolish, and headstrong career of Nero, a public officer whose name is looked on as synony mous with all that is vile, selfish, extravagant, and abandoned in human nature ; a despot in whom is supposed to have been concentrated all that was odious in tyranny, shameful in sensuality, bar barous in cruelty, revolting in treachery, and imbecile in cowardly weakness. Such a combina tion, indeed, of evil passions and unbridled indul gence is popularly attributed to Nero, as to have acquired for him a notoriety as extensive and last ing as it is discreditable to our common humanity. That such a character is overdrawn may, indeed, be true ; but after making large allowance for the overcolouring, there still remains a fearful residue of uncontradicted accusation. Of his cupidity and credulous hope, as well as of his boundless and daiTerously vindictive vanity, the following illus trations, if not new, may be instructive to some of our readers, as indicating some of the PREEOGATIVES AND AMBITION WHICH BAILED IN ANCIENT BOMB. After this, Nero was made the object of fortune's sport, through his own credulity and the representations of Cesellius Ba.ssus, a Carthaginian by birth, and of a wild and irregular cast of mind ; who perverted a vision of the still night into a foundation for the most confident hopes : making a voyage to Rome, he procured access to the prince by money, and laid before him the intelligence that there had been discovered on his estate a cavern of im mense depth, containing a vast quantity of gold, not re duced to the form of coin, but in shapeless masses, as it used to be in ancient times. In fact, ingots of surprising weight were lying in one part, and in another were stand ing bars of the same metal : treasures which had lain con cealed for so long a period to augment the happiness of the present times. For the rest, to show the probability of the thing, he suggested that Dido the Phoenician, when she fled from Tyre, and founded the city of Carthage, had secreted those treasures, lest the newly-established people should run riot from superabundance of wealth ; or the kings of the Numidians, otherwise inimically disposed, should be incited to make war upon her by a desire to get possession of the gold." In consequence of this, Nero, without sufficient evidence of the veracity of the man, or the credibility of his story, and without having sent persons to ascertain whether the facts were as reported, even heightened the popular ex pectation himself, and despatched persons to convey away the wealth as though it had been spoil already acquired. Three-oared galleys and chosen mariners were employed, to facilitate despatch ; nor during those days did any other topic engage the credulity of the people, or the dis cussions of the wise. It happened also that the quinquen nial games were then celebrating, on closing the second lustrum • and the poets and orators . iftw their principal materials from this source for praisW the prince : for they said, that not only were the customary fruits pro duced, and gold mixed with other metals, but the earth gave forth her treasures with unheard-of exuberance, and the gods brought riches and laid them at his feet ; with such other degrading flatteries as men of the highest elo quence and the most abject servility could invent, well assured of the credulous facility of the prince. Meanwhile, his extravagance, encouraged by these chimerical anticipations, grew still more excessive ; and his existing treasures were wasted under the idea that fresh ones had fallen in which would supply his lavish expenditure for many years. Nay, he even now made largesses from this source, and the expectation of riches was one of the causes of the impoverishment of the state : for Ba-ssus having made excavations on his own estate, and on the surrounding lands, to a wide extent, affirming now this and then another place as the site of the pro mised mine, and attended not only by the soldiers but a throng of rustics engaged to do the work, at length came to his senses, and, wondering that his dreams should never have proved false before, and that this was the first time he had been mocked by one, he escaped from the anguish of shame and the dangers that threatened him, by a voluntary death. Some authors have stated that he was thrown into chains, and soon after released, his goods being taken from him in lieu of the royal treasure. Meanwhile, as the quinquennial games were now ap proaching, the senate, to avert the disgrace of the em peror's appearing, offered to him " the victory in song ;" and added "the crown of eloquence," to veil the indecorum of his theatrical exhibition. But Nero insisting, " that he needed not the favour and protection of the senate, and declaring that he was a match for his competitors, and would obtain the honours due to his talents by the con scientious decision of the judges," first recited a poem upon the stage ; but afterwards, the people importuning him "to give them the benefit of all his accomplish ments" (their very words), he mounted the orchestra, and complied with all the laws of the harp : not to sit down from fatigue ; not to wipe off the perspiration with any thing but the garment he wore ; and that no secretions from the mouth or nostrils should be visible. Lastly, going down upon his knee, and stretching out his hand in a supplicatory form to the persons assembled there, he awaited the voices of the judges with pretended agitation ; and the populace of the city, for their part, accustomed to encourage the gesticulations of the stage-players, ap plauded him from one end of the theatre to the other, in measured time, and according to a set form of clapping : you would have supposed that they were delighted, and possibly they were, from insensibility to the public dis grace. But those Ivho had come from remote municipal towns, and occupied that part of Italy where strictness of man ners and primitive simplicity were still preserved ; those, too, who had come from the various distant provinces in th e capacity of ambassadors, or on private business, could neither endure this sight,. nor were able to perform the t as k for their inexperienced hands soon tired, degrab -sed those who understood it , • and they embarra ssed quence of which they were o ft en struck by th ul so c klie se rs, who were stationed in different parts of the benches, that not a moment of tim e should be mi sapplied in disco rd ant applause or sluggish silence. It is certain that many knights were trampled to death in making their way through the crowded avenues and the pressing multi tude ; and that others, from being on the seats for a day and a night, without intermission, were seized with dangerous disease ; for, in truth, the they exhibition, had more serious apprehensions if they failed in attending there being many employed openly, and more secretly, to note the names and countenances, the alacrity or re luctance of the company. The consequence was, that punishment was at once inflicted on the meaner sort ; while his resentment •st persons of rank was stifled for the pre sen t , and paid off afterwards. In the above extract we have abundant evidence of that curious compound of credulous greed, ignorant profusion, boundless vanity, and rills 4tken refinement, which met in constitution of an Imperial Roman of the middle period of the empire. THE LIFE-BOAT S CREW: An appeal on behalf of the wives and children of the brave men who were lost in the noble endeavour to rescue the crew of a ship in distress, during the storm on Saturday, 18th Feb., 1854, off the port of Liverpool. What noble hearts beat in the breasts Of that right manly crew; Who to their fellow creatures help. Through storm and tempest flew. Who, danger scorning, dared to brave The perils of the deep — Beneath whose roaring billows They are sleeping their last sleep! They quail'd not at the storms rude might, In majesty array'd ; The surging waves, the roaring wind, Could not make them afraid! Oh! noble deed, to save a life The boatmen volunteer; They part from wives, from children, alt They love and hold most dear! They part from home, alas! alas! To see that home no more;—'• In vain their wives and children strain Their eyes along the shore ! They come not, for the angry sea Has formed the boatmens grave : The surging waters seem to channt An anthem for the brave. flow many aching hearts revere The memory of the dead; For them how many sighs are heard, How many tears are shed. The widow and the fatherless Shall mourn and mourn in vain ; In this life they may never see Their well beloved again Say, oh ! shall the poor bereaved ones Unpitied mourn and sigh? ,Shall tears, the bitter tears of woe, Bedim the orphans eye, - Without a band held ont to help, A heart to sympathise— To smooth the rugged path of life— Soothe sorrows as they rise? Ah, no, a thrill of sympathy Will echo through the heart; Will bid you help, and pity too— Will prompt the better part. Ye cannot bring the dead to life, But ye can give the bread That would have been so hardly earned By the now honour'd dead! Yes, ye can cheer the widow's soul— Gladden the fatherless; Deeds which the God of Heaven has said That he will surely bless. Oh, hasten then—do good, do good— Heaven will sure approve; And conscience give a rich reward For every deed of love t Liverpool, Feb. 24, 1854. LITTLEQUILL. To commend the Annals of Tacitus would be now a senseless task; but to recommend perusal and study of the work, in an easily accessible English translation, to those whose want of early opportu nity has made it a sealed book in its nervous original language, is to perform a task which many will thank us for. The edition now under review is one of the series favourably known as Bohn's Classical Library, to which it forms a valuable addition. Household Medicine and Surgery, Sick-room Management, and Cookery for Invalids. Lon don and Liverpool : W. S. Orr and Co. THE above is the attractive title, under which this enterprising firm puts out its second portion of interesting Household Handbooks." The object of the one above-named, the first part only of which is now before us, is to put into the hands of general readers such a manual of the healing art as will render them intelligent observers of their own bodily functions and constitution, and as such, more readily conversant with the means of repairing breaches in its condition, and of intelligently fol lowing the prescriptions of the regular practitioner by understanding the objects at which he aims, and by having a general comprehension of the means by which he seeks to attain those objects. The various subjects, so far as we have yet seen, are treated with an easy and succinct plainness which brings them readily within reach of ordinary intelligence. This simplicity and lucidity of manner is well illustrated in the following observations on DIGESTION. `f All organic substances possess the power of taking from the external world certain solid and liquid matters, which assimilate to their own nature, and thus repair the waste they are continually undergoing. It is to this re newal of their blood from without that digestion is in strumental. If we follow the food from the month to its incorporation with the previously existing tissues of the body, the waste of which it is its office to supply, we shall gain a sufficient knowledge of the function of digestion, and see how important to the preservance of health is the integrity of its operations. _ . " The food, reduced to a pulp by the movements of the teeth and the admixture of the saliva secreted by the salivary glands, is swallowed by a somewhat complex muscular action. It is moved about in the stomach by the contraction of muscular fibres ; and, being there mixed with the gastric juice—a peculiar fluid secreted by the lining membrane of the stomach—it is called chyme : this chyme is then, in successive portions, transmitted, by muscular contraction, into the highest part of the intesti nal tube, termed the duodenum, which is a kind of second stomach, where the partially assimilated food is first mixed with the bile, and then with the secretion derived from the sweet-bread or pancreas. From this mass a whitish fluid—the chyle—for the immediate nourishment of the blood, is now extracted by the absorbent vessels, termed lacteals, the extremities of which abut on the lining membrane of the highest parts of the intestinal tube, while the residue, or excrementitious portion, is sent downwards by what is termed the peristaltic action of the tube, for evacuation. The chyle, taken up on a very wonderful plan by the lacteal tubes, is transmitted through small organs termed mesenteric glands, whence, after important changes, it is again collected by what are named the efferent lacteal tubes ; these by degrees unite together into a trunk, to form the thoraic duct, which, commencing in the abdomen, passes through the chest, and terminates at the point of junction of the internal jugular and sub clavian veins on the left side of the neck, and into which it pours its contents. The chyle, being thus mixed with the venous blood, is carried with it to the right side of the heart ; and, by the motion of the heart, is thoroughly mingled with that blood which now, reinforced by the chyle, is transmitted to the lungs, where, by exposure to the air, the venous blood is converted into arterial ; the arterial blood, so rendered fit for the nutrition of the body, being sent forth from the left side of the heart, is conveyed by the great arterial trunk and its branches, to the capil lary blood-vessels, which pervade all the sensible parts of the body. From these capillary blood-vessels the several component textures of the living frame attract the new matter, of which they stand in need ; while that which is already reduced to the state of debris, re-enters the blood of the capillary system, and returns with the blood, now become venous, to the right side of the heart. The blood, having become impure by the admixture of the debris of the tissues, and from other causes, is purified, partly by the lungs, by which a superfluity of carbon is thrown off, while, by the slow combustion which it sustains, animal heat is developed; and partly by the kidney, of which last organ the particular office plainly is to keep the blood free from the various chemical products generated during the successive decompositions which the textures and their first debris undergo. Having in this brief, but connected manner, stated the organs, functions, and processes of digestion, the author next proceeds to show the vital importance of their harmonious action in securing the enjoyment of health ; and points out the irretrievable ruin imposed upon the constitu tion by subversion of the laws which govern the operations of digestion. In treating of specific diseases, the best authorities are quoted ; and such a simplification of their views is laid before the reader as will enable any one to comprehend, in an ordinary way, the rationale of treatment inculcated. If carried out in the manner in which it has begun, this will prove indeed a valuable popular handbook. The Mercantile Marine Magazine and Nautical Record. London : W. Foster ; Liverpool : J. R.

An Account of the Present State of the Eccle siastical Courts of Record ; with Proporls.- for their complete Reformation. By William Downing Bruce. London : H. Adams. In this pamphlet, which is a well-timed one, and one devoted to a subject of much importance, the author reviews and exhibits, from extensive practical observation and study, the deplorably imperfect system and arrangements which pervade our ecclesiastical courts of record. After• a tren chant exposition of the defects, he submits the annexed PLAN POR THE REFORM OP PROCEEDItISOS IX ECCLESIASTICAL COIJETS. All the original wills throughout England should be deposited with the officer appointed by the crown ; they should all be printed in the form of the present Chancery proceedings, and an index of the whole should be formed. A copy should be sent to each county court. In future, all the wills should be printed at the expense of the executor, and a copy sent free to the Stamp-office. This would save the country a considerable sum per annum. One copy should be sent to the county court of the dis trict in which the person died. These wills and indexes should be placed under the care of a proper civil officer, and really for such a purpose none appears so pro per as the principal registrar of marriages, &c., for that county. Each person named is the will should have a printed notice from the principal officer of the court. The county courts might decide all eases under £5O, and in disputes of a larger amount the superior courts should have jurisdiction. All proceedings should be exercised in the name of Her Majesty, and all proceedings headed " Her Majesty's Court of P;obate." From the above extract, it will be seen that Mr. Bruce has directed his attention to a practical remedy for the evils he exposes, and of which he complains, Limited Liability Partnerships. London : Longmans. A pamphlet on the right of the public to form limited liability partnerships, and on the theory, practice, and cost of commercial charters, by Edward Wilkins Field, who claims a right to be heard on this important subject, on the ground of his being a solicitor, who has for thirty years been engaged in the construction and repair of partner ships and companies, and dealing with their remains when decayed. Of the main subject of his pamphlet we have treated more at length, but in an appendix he has given replies to objections made to granting a limited liability charter to any American screw steam-packet company, extracted from papers printed by the Ro use o f Commons. These replies are couched in such a tone of flip pancy and insolence as to be beneath contempt, and those whose cause he has attempted to espouse may well say : " Save me from my friends." Little Ferns for Fanny's Little Friends. By the author of " Fern Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio. London.: Nathaniel Cooke. IN this elegant gift-book we have presented to us a number of pleasantly told stories, in which the humanities are admirably blended with the amuse ments, and in which the teachings of experience are interestingly mixed up with the routine of youthful enjoyments , The aim of the author, and it is happily carried out, is to sweeten instruction, arouse reflection, and open up the fountains of practical generosity and kindly feeling. These objects are accomplished by the introduction of thrilling pathos, of sly humour, and of broad, stirring mirth. The volume is a most attractive one for children, embellished as it is by charmingly executed little engravings, illustrative of yet more fascinatingly instructive moral lessons. PARLIAMENTARY OATHS - BILL.- TOWN'S MEETING. DISCREDITABLE PROCEEDINGS. The Mayor at once complied with the request so gene rally and respectfully addressed, and called a meeting; to take place in the Borough Sessions-house, on Friday, at twelve o'clock. The announcement proved greatly exciting to the Radi cal and Popish party. A conjoint opposition was , at once resolved on, and the following circular was extensively distributed in the course of Thursday : TO THE FRIENDS OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. Sir,—You are requested to attend the meeting, called by the worshipful the Mayor,, at the Sessions-house, to-morrow (Friday), at twelve o'clock, and support the bill proposed by her Majesty's government for dispensing with useless and offensive oaths. Bring as many of your friends as possible. —James Aikin, W. Rathbone, W, Earle, John Yates, pin., James Crosfield, Richard Shell, J. It. Jeffery, J. B. Aspinall, T. Ltoyd, James H. Macrae. Liverpool, 23rd February, 18151. In some degree to counteract the effects of this circular, and to prevent the meeting from being packed by the opponent* of its objects, and in the belief that, as on several farmer occasions, adjourning: the meeting to the Amphitheatre, as being larger and. more commodidus, would be complied with in this instance, arrangements were made - for securing the use of the building. The Working Men's Branch of the Refonnation Society, like wise, issued the annexed circular : THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. A BILL having been introduced into the House of Com mons by Lord John Russell, for altering the oaths admi nistered to members of parliament on taking their seats ; and in the belief that this bill is a measure fraught with danger to the Protestant institutions of this country, it was resolved that the inhabitants of Liverpool should have an opportunity of expressing their disapprobation of . the proposed alteration, and of adopting a petition to the legislature against its adoption. In furtherance of this object, a requisition, addressed to the Mayor, soliciting him to convene a public meeting, for adopting measures to carry out these views, in the form of a petition against the bill being allowed to pass into a law, was presented to his worship on Tuesday last. The requisition, which was, within a few hours, signed by two hundred highly respectable and influential gentlemen, was as follows : " We, the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of Liverpool, valuing the Protestant constitution of our coun try, and the privilege of giving free expression to our sentiments on all important measures brought before the legislature ; and perceiving that a bill proposing to remove the only securities for our Protestant religion contained in the Emancipation Bill, has been read a first time in the House of Commons, and is announced for the second reading on the 27th instant, request your worship to con vene, at your earliest convenience, a public meeting, for the purpose of considering the propriety of a petition to the two Houses of Parliament, deprecating the dangerous character of the said bill, and imploring that it may not be allowed to pass into a law." which was empty a little before, but they did not do it. They relied upon the justice and truth of the cause that they advocated, and they did not resort to any trick. He moved an adjournment to the area of the Exchange. (Cries of "No, no," and great confusion.) Mr. AsruvALL.- T Make it Clayton-square. The REV. Dr. M'NEllac here made his appearance, and was greeted with alternate cheering and hooting. He said—Mr. Mayor, I rise to second the proposal Mr. Bushell has made. If fair discussion be the object, the opportunity is now given for fair-play. (Applause and uproar.) If the object be to take advantage of a mistake on the part of the public going elsewhere. (No, no, laughter, and uproar.) But I say was it not a mistake ? (No, no ; and a voice " Did not the mayor call a meeting here ?") If the object be fair discussion, why will you put it on record that, because you seem to have a majority in this room, you refuse to go to the area of the Exchange ? (No, no, and uproar). It will go all over the world that you are afraid of discussion. You have got a few hundreds of people in a small room, and you are afraid to meet the question. Liverpool— (groans.) I second the motion. (Laughter and uproar). Mr. JAMES TYRER supported the motion. He was pro ceeding to address the meeting, but was prevented by noise and uproar. The MAYOR said if they did not listen to every gentle man who wished to address them, he should take the matter into his own hands and adjourn the meeting sine dia. (Applause and uproar.) Mr. RATHBONE.—Mr. Mayor, I wish to move an amendment. (Cries of " Vote, vote," " The foxes," &c.) The MAYOR said that the amendment was in order. Mr. RATHBONE.—I ask any man of common sense whether we, upon this grave question—and an important question it is—l ask anybody' whether a discussion in the open air or on the Exchange would be of such a character as so grave a question requires ? I say it would not ; and therefore I move, as an amendment, that the mayor remain here, and that the discussion goes on here. (Ap plause, uproar, and cries of " Adjourn.") Mr. MAXWELI. seconded the amendment. _ After some discussion, in which Mr. CHARLES Tu'Rwau contended that it was not a proper amendment, inasmuch as it was only a negative, Mr. Taos. BOLTON' said he had attended there puthr tually. The building was not full, and he never knew an , adjournment under such circumstances. (Cries of " Vote, vote.") The Tows-ciamx then read over the resolution and amendment, when the latter was put and carried by a very small majority, followed by cries of "oh, oh," and loud applause. _ _ TheMs.ron then announcettthat the Rev. Mr. PoLLocs bad a resolution to submit. Mr. Pollocls stood forward, and. was received with mingled, applause and disappro bobien. • Mr:. Thos. BOLD would move• that the meeting be ad journed till twelve o'clock on the morrow at the Amphi theatre: ("No, no," and laughter:) Mn- kruru then stood forward s -when the Mayor said that Mn. Bold was in possession of the - chair.. Mr. Boom said his reason for the . motion was). that he did not think that either party was. prepared. to enter into the discussion in the way that they shonldi (Laughter.) They had better adjourn till next day at twelve; and. then there would-be no charge of packing. (Laughter.) Mr. JAmus , TYREE believed, with Mr. Bold s that it would not give -satisfaction to the town: or the country to have a packediplace any way. He was against any peek ing at the Amphitheatre ; but let a public building• be selected by his worship, and have fair play, on , to.morrow, or some other day. Could that meeting,. he should ask the Mayor, possibly show the feeling of thelown.? A protracted altercation took place in reference to Mr.. Bold's motion, which was participated in by - Mr. J. Aikini. Mr. J. R. Jeffery r and others. The MAYOR decided that Mr. Bold's amendment was in order, and put k; to the meeting ; but it was-lost by a , large majority. The declaration of this result was the - signal for renewed cheering, hissing, and uproar. • The Rev. W. PonLoca then rose, and said,—lt , is not, in my humble judgment, upon any trifling oirlight occa sion that the chief magistrate of this borouglvshould be called upon to convene a public meeting of the inha bitants of this town ; and especially if, as appears to have taken place already, the: subject under discussion, is likely to elicit or provoke any-division of the public mind— And I am most willing to admit that, at a moment like the • present, the true friends-of the country ought net to .be easily induced to array themselves on any question in open opposition to the responsible advisers of the crows;.. (Rear, bear.) Never ministry needed more than they at the.pre- - sent crisis the blessing: of God, from above and below, the cordial support of a united nation. But, sir„--- Litt this juncture, the-numbers who had hitherto been patiently waiting at the Ampitheatre, having hef=e4 that the proceedings had commenced, rushed into the-room, and for some minutes amsiderable confusion enstted. The comparitively small , . room. was spedily filled, the passages and various approaches being crowded. by struggling crowds, who stamped upon the floors and battered at the walls almost, unceasingly, producing_the greatest uproar. Order having been partially restored.] The Rev. W. PoLtocx. resumed his address.. But there were occasions in which it was forbidden them to take council with inaction and inexpediency, or eve= with their own earnest longings lifter unanimity and peace; and he, for one, believed that such an occsasion hadorisen —an occasion which justifiedi them in imposing e,.u. the public the burden of the present meeting, and whichcalled also for their prompt and „peremptory resistance-- to a measure now in progress tt rough the Lower House of Par liament. Mr. Mayor, (said he,) I shall endeavour, asbriefly as• possible, and in justice -to. nay own feelings, and.m. manner as little painful as- possible to the feelings of others for I utterly disclaim a desire to wean & the J ; of any man ; and, if I do wound any man's feelings, I wound my °malty doing so—l shall endeavour in this way to state as briefly, and, I trust, as fairly as possible the facts of the case , ,. (Hear, hear.) There-have been hitherto oaths imposed, upon all members ofparlia ment, upon their admission:A° seats in the house.. Someof these oaths are of very ancient date, and they are, and always have been, imposed arpon the Protestant members of the house. One of these is of a more recent origin, having been enacted for the first time, so lately as 1.829; as part of the Roman Catholic Emancipation It is now proposed by Lord John Russell, and, therefore,. by Her Majesty's Government, to abolish all the - oaths at present in existence, and-to, substitute for them. one new oath to be taken by alt... members of the house. Now,. sir, we believe—we who-.have signed this requisition — believe in our consciences,that the most serious.objectiens are to be taken to the.emeasure in question, and we are here to state them. I think I should best ds. so.by con sidering the oaths of which I have spoken separately : first, the oaths which. , have hitherto been. taken by Protestant members of the legislature, and afterward, the oath which has been. taken since 1829, hy.-the Roman Catholic members of the house. By the Protestant oaths the members were bound to true and faithful e.liegionce to the crown ; they were further bound to acknowledge the right and lawful succession of the sovereigns of this country; they were bound to declare that thesovtreigns of this country ware supreme over all estates of men therein, both ecclesiastical and civil; they were farther bound to the denialthat the subjects of these sovereigns might be absolved, by the Pope from their alkgiance• ! ah ! and greet groaning.) That was,the• oath at all events. (Cheering) They were bound; to deny that princes excommunicated by the Pope might be lawfully deposed or murde,red ; and, in addition, they were bound to acknowledge .in every thing the entire supremacy of I the crown. [The interruption by which Mr. Perock had been met throughout hi-s-addreas here became so,loud and incessant, that the rev. gentleman was forced to .desist from speak ing, his observations being entirely. drowned in the tumult, loud cries for adjournment forming a considerable portion of the-interruption. In the- body of the hall an individual raised upon the shoulders-of those surrounding him endeavoured to say something,hut he entirely failed in being heard, the cries for adjournment becoming still more loudand more urgent than before.] The MAXOR said that as the. meeting had already.- decided on the question of adjournment, he could only: regret that the parties who now, demanded it had not : attended when the meeting commenced. [The• clamour, instead of diminishing,. if possible became still greater, the people outside batter ing the doors com l . municating from the magistrates' room, which, like-the. pass Ages, was crammed with b4unan beings.] The MAYOR announced that he had sent for the Town-- clerk, in order that he might consult with him as to, the ccurse best for adoption. Mr. J2tstas AMID, who said he rose to a point otorder, was heard amid the deafening noises, to assert that the disturbance arose entirely from the supporters of the requi,-. sitionists. (Cheers and <vies of "Question.") Mr. PoLioc*.—That is not .a point of order. The MAYou.--Gentlomen, Mr. Pollock is ready to pro. eeed if you will listen to; him. Mr. POLLOCIL—WiII you let me speak or not ?- (Cries of " Yes, yes," and "-no, no.") The further oath to which he was alluding, bound them to declare " that no foreign prince, prelate, person, state, or potentate, had or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority,. pre-Eminence, or anything ecclesiastical, or spiritual within, this realm." (" So you say I" from a man of formidable pretensions, with a huge patch on the nose, who was reared upon one of the witness-boxes.) A VOICE.---" He's a freeman 1" (Cheers, confusion, and laughter.) POLiocs.—Come, now, keen your temper my good fellow, I am trying to keep mine. This is what the oath says. It is, I say to all you Englishmen, what, at the present moment, the British constitution says by the oath ; and upon the face of them these oaths, whether rightly or wrongly, were distinctly directed against the assumptions, the pretensions and the dogmas of the papacy. Rightly or wrongly, (the speaker continued,) this was the law ; and in almost every one of its provisions some accredited dogma of the papacy was impugned and attacked, and, in one instance, the Pope was mentioned by name. ( A Roman Catholic : " They might let him" alone then.") Prom all this it distinctly followed that, rightly or wrongly, from the day of the Reformation up to the pre sent moment, it had been considered wise on the part of the British legislature to maintain a firm protest against the See of Rome, and to throw the defences to which he had alluded around the cherished protestantism of the British nation. (Hear, hear, loud cheering, and groans.) He begged further to draw attention to the fact that the protest contained in this declaration was as strong as it possibly could be. It did not deny the civil or temporal power that the pope might assume or usurp, but it went to the root of the matter—it denied that he had any supe riority, pre-eminence, jurisdiction, or power, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. This was the language of the oath. By such a declaration, the whole power of the pope was absolutely denied by the British legislature— rightly or wrongly, it mattered not for his present purpose; because when it was declared that " within this realm he had no spiritual or ecclesiastical authority," this was a dis tinct protest upon the part of the country against his claims to be acknowledged as the head of the universal church, and therefore the protest contained in these oaths struck at the very root of the whole pretensions of the papacy, and of the faith of the Church of Rome. (Cheers and violent interrup tions from the Roman Catholic with the patch on his nose.) This being the clear design and force of the oaths until now imposed upon the protestant members of parliament, he put it to any fair, honest, and candid man—of whatever party —whether the abolition of these oaths did not involve a dis tinct and deliberate retirement from the position taken by their forefathers, and by the lotion, ever since the reforma tion—(hear, hear, cheers, 'and oppos . ition from the Roman CAtholico)—whether it did int tblituntly Wyche the eon fession that until now they had been in error in this matter, and they were either ashamed or afraid to legislate any longer in the distinctive character and attitude of a Protestant nation. (Great cheering and opposition.) It was upon these grounds that, in the first instance, he should have the honour to submit the following resolution, which, as far as he understood the case, and could enter into the minds of others, he could not see that any man in that meeting ought to oppose. The resolution was— " That in the opinion of this meeting the measure pro posed by Lord J. Russell for the abolition of the oaths at present taken by members of parliament, and for the substitution of a new oath instead thereof, involved a serious invasion of the Protestant character of the con stitution." (Groans,"„hisses, and cheers—the former pre ponderating.) And here he wished to advert to the arguments which were brought forward in favour of the . present measure by Lord John Russell, and by his sup porters. It had been said—and he should endeavour to state those arguments as fairly as possible—that the oaths in question were only safeguards ; that they were adopted from time to time, as occasion seemed to arise : but that the dangers which they were intended to meet had passed away, and the oaths themselves had passed away also. Who believed that, in the present day, the Pope had the power of absolving subjects from their allegiance ? Who believed that a king could be murdered ? (Groans and hisses.) Was not the last scion of the house of Stuart, whose pretensions were denied in the oath of abjuration, gathered to the !deep of his fathers ? (Laugh ter.) Then, again, was there any man who would any longer, in the face of this Protestant nation, stand up and advocate mental reservation or equivocation as a right and moral thing ? (Laughter.) Then, again, it had been said that it was quite enough to oppose and to deny the temporal power of the Pope ; but as• to denying his spi ritual power, it was doing so in the very teeth of the facts of the ease, whether they liked It or not. On all these grounds men were in favour of the measure which was sought to be introduced. And they said, once for all, our liberties and faith were to be entrusted to some other safeguards than oaths, for if men were otherwise disposed to be faithless to their vows of allegiance, and their duty to their country and their sovereign; a sworn oath would never bind them. That was the argument fairly stated, as far as his knowledge knew it. What was the sensible and comprehensive reply to it all ? (A voice: "' The Town's-clerk's here now." A second voice :. "We don't want him.") It wae that there was a false impression abroad on this matter The oaths in question were not mere safeguards, end newer were intended to be reeeh. They were more than this ethey were —and he had shown: it —they were protests also. (Cheers, laughter, and hisses.) They were not merely intended to be defences against invasion from without, but for'what he, for one, considered% a thoneand times more knporeant, to be testimonies from within to the Protestantisne of the nation. (Cheers.) Aye, and they were the only remaining traces of the Protestantism which once belonged to the British legis lature. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)' It was on these grounds that he protested that these oaths should not be sur rendered.- (Cheers and hisses.)' If he regarded those oaths in the light of mere safeguards, then his regard for them would be very light indeed. He had been com pelled, by a-very painful and very humiliating experience, to come to• the conclusion that oaths however strong, would never - be binding' on disloyal he a rts. (Hear, hear.) But, regarding the declarations in the light of protests, he placed upon them the very highest value; and he trusted that they would not be allowed/ tee be withdrawn, for he believed that if they were, they would so far stultify the past,. and also become disloyal to the cove nant which exlvted between God and thiS country, and , they would lost. accordingly. (Cheers' and laughter.) It was said by some,, after all, that the doctrines and practices allude& to in the oaths were utterly bygones, and so entirely obsolete, that surely it' was nothing short of folly stilt to declaim against them: (Hear, hear.) He wanted some indisputable authority for the teeth of the statement that these doctrines •and practices were entirely out of date. He wanted Lordelohn Russell, or any other man who. agreed with him, to-show him, on stelicient authority, that the opinions, practioes, dogmas, and pretensions of the- Church of Rome, whieh-veere com plained of and deielaineed in these declarations, were absolutely out of date: He should like ton know when ae single pretension; of the Papacy had been , abated, or one dogma changed: (A voice, " Ex actlye. infallible ; 'Lord John Russell does not believe that, but I do, you. know.

(Great laughter and cheering.) I wish toknow from Lon:Wan Russell and his friends how it 763-we are• to know that ultra-montanism has been utterly given up• in all its dbotrines in the. present day, and that it ut terly out of slate ; and I. would suggest that he- should; give us some explanation of 'tile statements of the Uriivii-& in France, and of Mr. Lucas and Dr. Cahill amongst our selves. (Renewed cheering and uproar.) Ageene if I am told that - the Queen's.- supremacy is acknowledged• by all classes of the community, I should like to know-how it is that at many public (linnets in this country, andl be lieve in this town, the health, of the Pope has been drunk before the , health of the • Queen. (Cries of " Question," "question," laughter, cheers, and a voice —" Why not ?") Now, sir, if any person 'can show me that these things are out of date; are obsolete, upon sufficient authority; and' not upon his own indiViduat statement, I for one do , say that the time %roue protest upon this matter has , gone- by; but as long-ns I am able to , read these things upon the page of history; as lonwaathe Roman canon law exists- • as long asthe Church ofßome boasts that server ead#4. is her motto ; so .long Be by her law of infallibility she has cut herself off from: all possibility of reformation, or of change;: so long,l maintain that those who conscien tiously differ from )ier in this matter, are bound to main tain their- protest. against her, and to deal with- her. as history deals with her—as the disturber of that -peace of nations.. One word, more upon this part of* the -subject. I am ruse every person will readily see thatethere is a great difference-between the supposition that , we. might be called ?npoin to legislate for the first time- in this matters. and' the• fact that we are not called upon to legislate for the first time ; but, on the ether - hand,, to sweepuway enactments which have been long-found upon the statute books- of this country. (A voice, " high time!" and cheers:) If we were a new country, and had for the -first time to constitute a new house of parliament, I don't say that I am prepared to go so fir A* to •maintain that - , we ought Wing these protests into .the declarations of members of parliament ; but, seeing that they have ex isted for now 30Cr years, I do say some good and sufficient cause shouldbe‘shosvn why we are to sweep them all away. (Cheers, and continued uproar.) Whore as that sufficient caw ? (Cheers and confusion.) Have- the protestants complained upon the one hand, or the Roman Catholics upon the other? They have not. The -Roman Catholic body came forward, very much to their cxedit, before the passing of the Emancipation Bill, midi declared that they were willing to take the oaths. I don't mean to say they were willing to take the very protestant oath which I have read, but another ; the only difference, however, being the denial of civil instead of spiritual power. (Cheers and eaueasiona But where is the necessity. for this change ? There is no call for it in the country. (Renewed cheering.) It has come about in a very shabby and discreditable way. Lord John Russell, being defeated in all other efforts, he has made for a given purpose, and having solemnly pledged himself, as I believe, in 1852; that he would not do, the very thing he is now doing, at length proposed— (" Question, question")—Lord- John Russell, in violation of his distinct pledge, now oomes forward and proposes to .1 abolish these oaths, not that he has any objection to them in themselves, or their' protestant character, but simply that he may do what he said: he not do—bring in, by a side wind, the Jews into, parliament. (Great cheering, with hooting from the Roman Catholics, and other radicals.) Upon the, question. of the admission of the: Jews to parliament, I am not going to say a single word„ except that it is a matter which ought to be brouglne forward on its own merits, and not attempted to be foisted upon the nation by a side wind. (Cheering.) And I say moreiet is too great a price to pay for it, even if it is as desirable a measure as some may think, that we should utterly obliterate, , for its sake, the Protestantism of the English nation . (Renewed cheering and groans from the opposition.) And now, sir, I come to consider the oath, imposed by the legislature upon Roman Catholic members on their admission into parliament, by the bill of 1829. It is notorious—and I defy any man to contradict me — that that oath was owed—rightly or wrongly, wisely or unwisely—offered by the promoters of the emancipation bill as a, security for the protection and maintenance of the Protestant religion, the Protestant Church, and the Protestant government of this country. (Loud cheers.) I say, accordingly, that upon the very face- of the thing, if you withdraw that oath, you make a most important change in the constitution of both houses of parliament. I will read to you the words :—" And li do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate hath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre eminence, or authority, temporal or civil, within this realm. And I do solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege to which I am or may become en, titled, to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion of the Protestant government of the United Kingdom ; and I do solemnly, and in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare, that I do make this declaration in the plain and common-sense words of this oath, without . any mental reservation or equivocation whatsoever." My position (the speaker continued) is this, that Roman Catholics were not admitted—whatever you may say about it — upon equal terms into the House of Commons. They were permitted in all other matters to enjoy and share the common privileges of the Protestant members ; but there were restrictions laid on them with regard to a cer tain number of questions, which were intended to bind their hands. They were bound by an oath ; and he would put it to any man—would the Duke of Wellington or Sir Robert Peel have supported the bill, and would any member of the opposition have gone over to the side of the supporters, unless the oath had been proposed to be taken by the Catholics as a guarantee not to weaken or disturb , the Protestant government of this country, and not to subvert the church as it was established ? (Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) He would not stay to inquire whether that oath was good for the per formance of the bond. He stood by the simple fact that Roman Catholics never had - sat on equal terms in either houses of parliament. (Hear, hear.) And when they were called upon to abolish the existing oath, it was a call most distinctly to commit a serious invasion on the Protestant constitution of England.

A PECULIAR EXPRESSION.—When Moore was getting his portrait painted by Newton, Sydney Smith (who ac companied the poet) said to the artist, " Couldn't you contrive to throw into his face somewhat of a stronger expression of hostility to the Church establishment ?"

WATER IN BREAD.—The quantity of water which well-baked wheaten bread contains amounts on an average to about forty-five per cent. The bread we eat, therefore, is nearly one-half water ; it is, in fact, both meat and drink together. The flour of wheat and of other kinds of grain contains water naturally, bat it absorbs much more during the process of conversion into bread. One hundred pounds of fine wheaten flour take up fifty pounds, or half their weight of water, and give 150 pounds of bread. One of the reasons why bread retains so much water is, that during the baking a portion of the starch is converted into gum, which holds water more strongly than starch does. A second is, that the gluten of flour, when once thoroughly wet, is very difficult to dry again, and that it forms a tenacious coating round every little hollow cell in the bread. which coating does not readily allow the gas contained in the cell to escape, or the water to dry up and pass off in vapour ;• and a third reason is, that the dry crust which forms round the bread in baking is nearly impervious to water, and, like the skin of a potato which we bake in the oven or in the hot cinders, prevents the moisture within from escaping. The pro portions of water, gluten, and starch or gum in well baked wheaten bread are nearly as follow :--Water, 45 ; gluten, 0 ; starch, sugar, and guns, 40'; total s 103.

CIRCASSIAN AVERSION• TO' RUSSIA.—A few years-ago a slave-ship sprang a leak out at sea, just as a Russian steamer passed in the distance. The Turkish slave , dealer, who preferred even, the chill blasts of Siberia ton.grave even in deep water; made signals of distress, and the steamer came up in time to rescue the ship and its living cargo from destruction, But sodeeply is hatred of Russia implanted in every Circassian' heart, that the spirit of the. girls revolted at the thought of . becoming the helilmates , of grey-coated soldiers, instead of sharing the sumptuous couch of a Turkish Pasha. They had bid adieu to their • native mountains-with little emotion; but as the Russian, ship approached they set. up terrible and despairing screams. Some sprang headlong- into the sea ; others drove their knives into their hearts;. to these heroines. death was preferable to the bridal bed of a detested Muscovite.

THE DEATH Or LOUIS THE FIPTEENTH.--ACCESSION\ Or Levis THE SIXTEENTH, AND MAJOR ANTOINETTE.— Louis XV. died at Versailles on the4Oth of May, 1774,, while the dauphin, the dauphiness, the royal family, the. court, and the gentlemen of the household were silently; awaiting his last sigh, in the ante-chambers of the royal; apartment. In their uncertainty ofthe moment when the , old monarch might cease to exist, when etiquette required that the new king • should .quit the , palace of the defunck one, it had been concerted with the chiefs of the royal stables—whose duty it was to bring forward the carriages —that a wax taper, which was, burning in a window.of the royal bedchamber, should be extinguished at- the moment when the dying monarch had breathed his-last, and that this should be the silent signal for the entrance of the equipages into the courts of the palace. At the moment the taper was extinguished, the dauphin, whohad retired with the dauphiness into their apartment,heard a sound like a rumbling peal' of thunder in the interior of the palace. He arose, disturbed at the appreaek of so unusual a noise. It was occasioned by the hurried foot steps of hundreds of courtiers and officers of the-crown, who were rushing from the ante-chambers of the-late king to precipitate themselves into those of the future-monarch. At such a sound—which tumultuously announced from the very' first moment a. reign of noise and agitation—the youthful king and queen instinctively fell uponttheir knees, and elevating their hands together, exclaimed, as with one voice, "May God protect us ! we are too young to reign !" The king was scarcely twenty, the queen: not nineteen ; and the kingdom, worn out with the vices of the last reign, would have.required, to raise and , consolidate it, the eagle-eye of genius,. the heart of heroism, and the maturity of a sage.—Langertine's History of the Constituent Assembly. GHOST Sroirns.—Left Holland House• in time to get to Rogers's, . where Sir W. Scott waa to call for us. Called at three to take us to dine with his son, Major Scott, at Hampton. Scott very agreeable on the way. Told him our conversation at Holland House• about ghosts, which brought on the same topic. His own strong persuasion,. one night, that he saw the figure of Lord Byron. Had: been either talking of or reading him ; and on going into, the next room, was startled to, see through the dusk what he could have sworn was Byron, stand, as he used to, do. when alive. On returning into the drawing-room, he said to his daughter "If you wish to see Lord Byron go into that room." It was the effect of either the moonlight or twilight upon some drapery that was hanging up, which to his imagination, just then full of Byron, presented this appearance. Rogers's story of the young couple at Berlin in their opera-box, between whom, at a distance, there always appeared to be a person sitting, though on going into their box, it was found that there was nobody there but themselves. From all parts of the house this super natural intruder could be seen; but people differed as to its appearance, some saying it was a fair man, others a dark ; some maintaining that he was old, others that he was young. It should be mentioned, that there was some guilty mystery hanging over the connexion between these young people; and as, at last, no one ventured to visit their box, they disappeared from Berlin. This anecdote Lord Wriothesley Russell brought with him from abroad. Scott (who evidently did not like the circumstance being left unexplained) proceeded to tell a story of Mrs. Hook, the wife of Dr. Hook, who wrote the Roman History; "it being well," he said, "to have some real person to fit one's story on." Mrs. Hook becoming acquainted and intimate with a foreign lady, a widow, at Bath ; their resolving to live together on their return to London. Mrs. Hook, on coming down stairs one day at this lady's lodgings, meeting a foreign officer on the stairs, said to her friend next day, " You had a visitor yesterday ?" the other answering, "No; she had seen no one since Mrs. Hook left her." Mrs. H., thinking this odd, going another day into her friend's dressing-room by mistake, and seeing the same officer there alone stretched on the sofa. Being now sure there was something not right, determined to mention it to the lady; who, at first, said it was impossi ble, but hearing a description of how the officer was dressed, fainted. Mrs. Hook, convinced it was some im proper liaison she was carrying on, determined gradually to give up her acquaintance. The foreign lady soon after was preparing to go to London ; and Mrs. Hook, being in the room when her maid was packing (the lady herself not being present), saw a miniature case fall out of the portmanteau; and taking it up and opening it, saw the portrait of the very person whom she had met on the stairs. " That," said the maid, "is the picture of my mistress's husband." " Her husband ?" "Yes," an swered the Maid; "he died a short time before we left Germany?'

At the hour of meeting, it was easily perceptible that the circular sent out. by the Radical party had'been effec tive in its object, and that a majority or those in the Sessions-house were adverse to the purpose for - which the meeting had been called.

The Matron requested the- Town-clerk to read the re.- quisition; which he accordingly did, and stated that two hundred' names were appended to it. The MAYOR said he considered that when a requisKera was presented to the Mayor, by a respectable portion? of the 'inhabitants, it was his duty to call a meeting of the inhabitants -if he thought it was not that which might bia considered detrimental to the-interests of the town; audit upon that - ground, to take the- chair, simply for the pus. , pose of keeping order in the meeting, and to use his hest' endeavour-that all those who wished to address it might' ,receive andlave a hearing fairly and impartially. It was' not the Mayor's duty to take part in the discussion, Mix! simply to , preside over, and to , request or enforce orders: (Hear, hear).. Therefore, the same course which he had! pursued on• receiving a requisititai to call a meeting cm the subject of decimal coinage, and in calling the towns- meeting- OR • juvenile delinquency, had actuated him in calling the present meeting, the 'requisition on behalf cf which was , more numerously signed than for either of the other two, After these observations, of course, it woukL be for those who had arranged to take part in the discus sion to at once proceed with the , business for which they! had!been-called together. Mr. Busuxia, said he .was ./Not going to take any part in , the proceedings by way of making a speech : but he wished to suggest to the mayor, that that was not the meeting 'a:ntended to be held by those who signed the re- , quisitiou. Those who promotathe meeting were not of opinion: that the riliblic feeling which existed on this, questimt could be represented in, a building like that, and were aware that, on former occasions, an adjournment had taken place to the Amphitheatre, the building ordi:k narily used on those occasions, and which was at that mod. ment vite full of people, supposing that an adjournment wouldtake place, and that the meeting there had only, been summoned formally. Therefore he suggested that the •mayor should kindly adjourn that meeting, which didt not represent in any degree the feeling on the questiouL=• (Cries of "No, no," and " Yes ) yes.") Mr: W. RATHBONE pretested against that. (Bean,. hear.). The Sessions-house was esteemed as the Mayorls room , The meeting had been called there, and he treated, thatmo mayor of Liverpool•would condescend to bedk tate& to by a Protestant Association. (Laughter- and ILPPlivuo. in. 4-) Mr. Lk .uonosoN rowan& attempted to speak. Mr. RATIIBOICE continued. He would just say that the•plaeard summoning-themeeting to the Amphitheatre- was in the name of the- iotestant Association, and not ot* the mayor. Mr. D. ilonusox trusted. the mayor would not be die. Wed to—(uproar)—in, the , exercise of his discretienand sound judgement. He: was perfectly sure he , would take care that the meeting. which he called shotaltr-igive. large expression to the opinions of the town of Liverpool. They knew the gentleman who had risen up opposite— they knew his zeal—they knew his party spirit. (voice, " Where's yours ?") He , did not deny that he was,not em bued with Mr. Rathbone!s spirit—he was a Conservatiee in his principles. (Cries " Question.") He should anove, if necessary, an adjoarment, but he considered that that was the mayor's sole privilege, and that nobody bad:a right to do more than offer an opinion. Mr. W. EARLE • who was received with applause and laughter, said,-- Gentlemen, is this a meeting of the in habitants of Liverpool, or of the Protestant,Aeaociation The fact is, sir, the , foxes have been outwitted on this occasion. (Lcaidllaughter.) This is nothing-but a party movement, andzthe Amphitheatre is packed, I dare say, with eloquent men, and there they are al. cooked," and I hope you will let them remain. (Loudllaughter..) Mr. A. HODGSON hoped that, as had beenexpressed by the gentleman near him, the mayor wculd not be dictated to by any party. (Hear, hear). He for one mould not have been a party, to ask the mayor to call any meeting to carry any certain measure whatever, The , question was the repealof certain oaths. There never had been in his time any statesman (cries of " Question, question ;" " Vote, vote"). Mr. Hodgson said he was. speaking strictly to the question.(uproar). TheMaxoa.—Allow Mr. A. ilodgFen, and when he is done I' will say a word as to what I think the proper course.. _ _ _ Mr. ilonGaox said he had meant to, say that the meet ing:was called for discussion ; and when they were for ap plyitig•to. the legislature on a point open for discussion, it was.right that a great town like Liverpool should meet nob in• an angry spirit (a voice." Meet where? the meeting to:packed"); but meet for calm and rational discussion,. (Uproar.) The MAYOR said, he felt that he was blameable for allowing the discussion that had taken place. He must now call upon some gentleman to bring a substantive motion before the meeting, which there was not yet. When that was sec,onded, he• thought a discussion might take place solely on what that motion might be ; and he must ask gentlemen to confine themselves to it. (Applause). If Mr. Bushell should move that the meeting be adkpurned, and some one would second it, he should then be• in a po sition to keep gentlemen to the motions before them. It had always been the practice that an adjournment had taken place upon a motion carried by the meeting. Mr. Busuw. said he had hesitated to move the ad journment of the meeting, because he did not in the least wish to interfere with the mayor's functions. He had hoped that the mere statement that those who desired to attend that meeting on both sides believed the building was totally incompetent in size to hold the numbers that would attend, and who had naturally and rationally gone to the building used on such occasions. He (Mr. Bushell) had thought it would not be necessary to put such a motion. _ _ _ The MAYOR asked the town-clerk what had taken place on former occasions. The TOWN-CLERIC said that the last occasion on which there was an adjournment was in Sir John Bent's mayoralty. A motion was put and carried, and an ad journment took place accordingly. Mr. G. MAXWELL said,—l want to ask you, Mr. Mayor, one question, that is, whether, in the course of the discus sion that has arisen between you and the requisitionists, you, as the chief magistrate of the town of Liverpool, had made provision for the inadequacy of this hall ; and whe ther the Amphitheatre had been engaged by you in that capacity ? The MA.YOE.—I distinctly answer Mr. Maxwell's ques tion, and state that my mind was a perfect blank as to the adjournment before I came to this meeting. Mr. Asrixe.L.L.—That is not an answer to the question. The MAYOR.--Mr. Maxwell asked me whether I had engaged the Amphitheatre. I have not engaged the Amphitheatre, and will take care that the Corporation money does not pay for it. (Loud applause.) Mr. EARLS.- - The gentlemen behind me are in a quan dary—(laughter)---but I can tell you all the secret worth knowing. (Laughter, applause, and hisses.) The Amphi theatre was engaged at noon, yesterday, conditionally. (Hear, hear, and cries of " Vote vote," and "Adjourn.") The MAYOR again rose, and said—l tell you, it is my duty to you, gentlemen, and myself, whose time is as pre cious as your own, to ask that a motion should be pro posed, or else I will not permit any of these discussions to take plat, Mr, BusnELL then moved the adjournment of the meeting.
