OfltelinAL THEATRICAL FUND.—Yeeterday a mett-

Lyceum, Mr. Worrell in the chair.—Mr. Culla:deed, the
eseretuy, reported that notwidurandiag the fund was pro-
griming still the objects of the institution were but imp'',
esown ; and that as emit sueeeeding year woald add
to the number of claimants, so greater cautious would be
necessary to obtain en increased rapport, is order to carry
out more fully the intentions of its founders. It should,
moreover, he remembered, that in this had then was no re.
Unction whatever ; that it was not alone those who had
fluid London engagements in one particular theatre, but
that performer, (being members) in every provincial seta-
blishment were objects for its relieving sympathy and can.
From the last thou el report, it appeared that the funded
capital of the institution eaeeeded 4,0001, and that the
members had been enabled to make an addition of 51. per
scam to each of the annuitants of ESL sleeted in 1846.

am—A meeting, numerously attended by many of
the mut influential gentlemen of the Ward of Hi:shop:gate,
wee smently held at the White Hart Tavern, to taco into
genelithation the best means to be adopted for the purpose of
mieurvies the ranting monopoly in the supply of gee in the
City of London. Shortly after 7 o'clock, Mr. Q. Taylor har-
bor bees called upon to preaide, in • very able addrees stated
the purpose for which the meeting had been convened.
Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the company at
emiderable length. It appears;that the City of London is
supplied by two companies, who, by amazement, partition
the ground between them; and that the commissioners of I
Wrath have always objected to theentry of any other company
hie the City, b which means a fair competition has never
bees . As long sines as the spring of 1846,
k ame to dm knowledge of gentlemen in the ward that
gay eismsom supplying it with gas, was charging • higher
prise to essmsaus in the City than it was charging without
dr beresdary ot the city. A deputation waited upon the
abuser, of the company, and, alter considerable trouble,
end a dela of 12 months, the reduction of Is. per thousand
fast was obtained. Soon after cause of complaint was again
Nivea to the citizen', it having transpired that the company
bed made a further reduction of Is. to all their customers,
amid thou within the City. Atwater application upon the
settees was then made from the ward to the Chartered Um
Company, which, not proving successful, after considerable
delay, a petition signed by 2:I0 inhabitants was presented to
the Court of Sewers, who, after hearing the petitioners, and
the Osaka of the Gas Company, decided upon not inter-
teethe be the matter. A decision so estraordinary led to

yaw op my wife, wanting • little girl to assist the house-
maid, was advised to try oue of the pupils of this establish-

age, but appeared older. She could read, and her hand- 1
writing was of a very superior character. She had been '

reallyy her prayers morning and night, and appeared
to be impressed with a sense that it was her duty to
do so. Bat she had not been taught the very simplest tasks I
of domestic management. She had not the slightest idea of
the duties of a house servant. She was inadequately sup
plied with clothes, and had no notion of personal tidiness;
sad after a year's patient trial it was found impossible to

TESTIMONIAL TOST THE RIGHT HON. E.
The presentation took place in the Atheneum at
Darby on Tuesday. Tables were laid for 2.50. At 6 o'clock
the company entered the dining-room. Mr. Strutt was re-
ceived with loud applause. Mr. H. Mosley, Ifiswo; of the
borough, occupied the chair On his right eat Mr. Streit
and the Hon. F. Lawson Gower (the late members for the
borough), the Hon. Sir H. Cavendish, M.P., Mr. W.
Evans, M.P. (members for North Derbyshire), Mr. R. 8.

rough), Mr. O. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. T. M. Gisbonte,
Y.P.
After the cloth was removed, and the Chairmen had
given the usual loyal toasts, the testimonial was introduced.
It consists—tint, of a written address, signed by a large ma
jority of the 'lnuits. This is accompanied by a duplicate

rock, and having Mr. Strutt's coat armorial in the centre et
the top border, and the borough arms in the metre of the
b Atom border. The dolicstion is alas illuminated, and the
book Is bound in the most costly manner. It is valued el

The Maros. alluded to Mr. Stnitt's valuable seniesp,
and to the regret which the inhabitants of Derby felt at Icier
them. Ilis worship read letters received from mem-
bees of parliament sod other gentlemen, ell speaking in the
highest terms of Mr. Strutt as a public man, and of the in-
tegrity which has characterised his career, and cordially
sr empathising with the electors of Derby on the occasion.
The Mayor then read the address. The preeentatim then !
took place in due form, and his worship concluded by pro-
posing Mr. Strutt's health. (The company rose en masse„
and cheered for several minutes.)
Mr. STRUTS. who was received with long-continued
plata., said—Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen; Grateful sad
honoured as I must feel by this proof of your mignimeism
I sus usue you that ibis magnificent tordeeriteN maw&
necessary for the purpose of convincing ms et year Mad
feeling towards me. Mad it been the rtemews dee &dew
of Derby to allow me to retire from their maim Wilma tbia
public manifestation of their approbation, I shield haw been
weU content with the refl. ction that, through asset event-
ful period of our history, they had thought peeper to
return me as their representative to seven ounce-
sive parliaments, and that, whenever that return
had been contested, had placed me in an honour-
able position at the head of the poll ; and with these
repeated proofs of their confidence, I should have felt that,'
however imperfect my services might have been—however
my ex.:otions might have fallen short of that which I could
myself have desired, and which the electors would have de-
served—at all events those exertions had not been made in
vain, eel that, in dosiug the connexion which had so long I
subsicol between us, 1 should carry with me their kind
sympathy and good wishes. Were your address only to be
regarded as a record cf your approbation of my political
conduct, I should eosidder it no light reward to have retained
for so many years, amidst the vicissitudes of party end 'I
the changing scenes of politica, your continued good
opinion. But it is much more than a record of
your political approbation ; I receive it, I hope I may !
lay, is many cases as a tribute of private friendship.
I receive it as a testimony from the inhabitant& of my native
town of those kind feelings which have been the result of old
recollections, of comenuoity of interests and opinions, and of
long personal: intercourse and mutual good offices. Gentle-
men, there is • subject with respect to which some explana-
tion may probably be expected from me on the present occa-
sion ; I mean the circumstances under which our political
c ornexims has been diesolved. With the exception of the
fur lines contained in the address which I published imme-
diately after the decision of the election committee, I have
hitherto abstained from any public allusion to the subject,
because I thought this the most fitting coarse, so long
as any public inquiry seemed to be in contemplation, or
so twig as a new election was pending. When, after the
resentation of the election petition, I for the first time
learnt that small payments bed been made to freemen en tho
pretence of employment as messengers, and that them par.
merits, thosult made totally without the knowledge of car
co/league and myself, and contrary to our injunction, might
have the effect of rendering the election void, we deuirstimiel
that it was our duty, neither by any attempt at roommates
nor by any vexatious opposition, to seek to prevent or delay
the judicial decision of the question. It is true that we were
informed and believed, and I understand that it is a matte*
of public notoriety, that similar payments were made to free-
men by both parties, and that our friends had had recourse
to this objectionable practice solely for the purpose cf coun-
teracting the offers made by our opponents. (Hear, bear.)
But whatever, under these circumstances, we might think
of the course taken by the petitilners, we felt that our
course ought not to depend upon our opinion of their con-
duct. Their views of honour and fair dealing must no doubt
have differed most widely from ours, but we were not on that
account to bear tLe discredit of shrinking from Inquiry, or
to offer any obstacles to the investigation of the truth, or to
the due administration of the law. There was anther charge
of a more serious kind contained in the petition—a charge
direct personal corruption •rainet my colleague and myself.
(Shame.) 1 might at first hare been disposed to 00r
eider such a charge as scarcely worthy el attention ; but !
proceedings took place before the magistrates of this
borough which showed pretty clearly the means by whisk
it was intended to support such a charge—means obi*
I will not attempt now to characterise, as I believe the
magistrates of this borough and the public of this borough,
have had ample means of forming their opinion upon it.
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Under these circumstances, my
colleague and myself considered it due to our charseen, and
due to those by whom we had been returned to parliament,
to meet in the fullest possible manner any charge of this
I kind which might be brought against us, however absurd
I and frivolous it might appear, and to challenge the strictest
inquiry into our conduct. Accordingly, when our opponents
offered before the committee to withdraw this portion of the
petition, our counsel, acting upon our instructions, refused to
listen to such an offer, unless it was accompanied
by a distinct and public scknowledgment before the COlN-
mines of the utter falsehood of the charge. Their
case was, therefore. proceeded with, and the result was
that the witnesses whom they ventured to produce were con-
tradicted by the clearest and most respectable testimony, and
were disbelieved by the committee. At my last election, the
gentleman who proposed cur opponent, Mr. Haien, and who
has since been one of the petiti mere against us, disclaimed
any intention of opposing my return, and was pleased to
express mach to 9nt for my character. It certainly was
rather an extraordinary mode of showing his respect when,
within a few months after, he deliberately put his hand to a
public document, charging me with the foulest penonal cor-
ruption. With regard to my having maimed with another
candidate which we have so often beard, I would ask, had
there at any time been any doubt of the prevailing political
opinions of the electors of Derby ? The town had
been represented by liberal members for more than
half a century. The annual municipal elections had
always shown an overwhelming majority in favour
of ithe liberal party. Under such circumstances, could it
be supposed (even were it in my power), that I could
be a party. to neutralising the representation of the town,
and depriving the electors of their just weight in the legisla-
ture for no other object than the base and sordid purpose of I
securing for myself a safe and unopposed seat At the bail
election a ,compromise was more directly.
.proposed, end it
was hoped that the efforts to create a division between the
two liberal candidates, which had failed in the case of my
colleague and myself, would be more successful with our
&unseen. We all rejoice that such an offer was rejected
with the contempt which it deserved, and that an opportu-
nity was given to the electors of Derby of recording their
opinions most unequivocally, and of gaining, under disad-
vantageous circumstances, a signal triumph by the return of
two gentlemen whose election could be due only to the mica.
ciples which they profemed, and to the character and aWity
by which those principles were supported and whaled. I
coneratulste you on the result of the late awake act ow*
as a political triumph, but much more as a newt *Way.
(Cheers.)
Mr. EVANS, M.P., proposed the "Health at the Hon.
Frederick Leveson Gower,' which was teadved with loud

isti:
Mr. Gowan, in responding to the toast, referred to the
contrast between the guarnmanta of Pronto under Louis
Philippe and that of Belgium, as instancing the results of
true emanation and that (vice., of France) which he laid
was undeserving of the name.
The health of Mr. P. (Hoban*, who had ems from • bed
of sickness in order to do honour to Mr. Struts, was given;
and in his reply, Mr. (herons paid a high tribute to
the seal, ability. and integrity of Mr. Soutt, whew
lose was a national ens, and lectured the Haws
of Conoco= for its insincerity in not dealing man-
fully with the question of bribery. Mr. Liddell could
obtain a committee of inquiry into dog stealing in
the metropolis, and actually got a bill on the subject
peened through the House of Commons ; but the important
question of bribery was shelved. He concluded by proposing
the health of " Mr. Moffatt, and the liberal inemlas of the
Howe of Commons."
" The gumbos for the borough," " The members for
North Derbyshire," " The Chairman," and other toasts fol-
lowed, and the company did not separate until half-past ten
o'cloca. Mr. Strati left the room amidst a round of
cheering.

solicitor in this city, wu liberated yesterday from
Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Magee, one of the magis-
trates from the head-office, attended at the prison in
order to receive bail foe Mr. O'Reilly. The bailsmen
were Mr. O'Reilly's father and brother, in sureties if
60b each, and himself in 100/. It is stated that there
are several other persons to be liberated on bail during
the week. The Owk Examiner contains the fol-

lowing :
By an order in email, in which several parties are in-
cluded, Mr. Robert Lssepkia has been discharged from cus-
tody. The order, snide was dated Saturday, arrived yes-
terday to Mr. Murphy, govern:if of the city gaol ; and this
morning, all matters laving been completed at the mayor's
rffice, by the acceptance of Mr. Thomas Lyons, J P., and
Mr. James Lambkin, se securities, and Mr. Robert Leah-
kin. having personally entered into the required surety, be

order would have come down for Mr. Lane, and some, if not
all, of the other gentlemen detained in the same prison;
but, as yet, no ouzel order has been received.
The " Priest of the Archdiocese of Tumn " has again

fur the clergy, he thus further deals with the argu-
ments against the measure as laid down in the late
manifesto of the " Lion of the fold of Judah : "
Is it not • matter of notoriety that bishops and priests are
at this moment the recipients of a state provision in the
British colonic', and is it not equally notorious that religion
is foot progressing in those very places ? But why leave
home to look for examples when salaries ari• received from
the poor houses, gaols, and barracks of our own country by
catholic clergymen, without any remonstrance Wog called
forth from the lawful superior? Is not the money re-
ceived under such circumstances, obtained from the govern-
ment, and why is it not refused as a " poisonous boon "
With such facts staring us in the face, I tell you sir, that it
is mast improper for any man, no matter how high his posi
tion la the church, to designate as " the pensioners of the
crown," "the slaves of the minister," and " insolent oppres-
sors," in fact, "as 'hireling and stipedidary priesthood," honest,
laborious, hard-working clergymen, who, on account of their
s'raitened circumstances, and in times like there, would con.
sine to accept the pension. It must be borne in mind that
I do not advocate the pension in every possible stave in
which it might be offered. I would indignantly reject it, if
the offer were accompanied by any conditions derogatory to
the right- of the ordinary, or subversive of the discipline of I
the church. I am certain there is scarcely one amass ,
the 3,009 priests of Ireland who would accept it upon say
'
ether terms. It is, therefore, by no means complimentary
to the clergy to suppose any other f ,raz of acdowment.
But it is part and parcel of the dictatorial besting which
witted the parsing of the fourth re.olution of the prelates
without consulting those who are the principal sufferers—a
resolution which they had not the prudence to qualify. by
sayieg that " they mould not sanction a state provision,
unless it was given on fair and equitable terms... " Oh,"
but says Dr. Mllale, " as for our parts, our course
is determined, oar naives are fixed. Ws are determined
not to be seen to rise in worilly prosperity whilst the
nation is sinking, or to insult, by the offensive parade
of weal'', and splendour, the starvation of en op-
pressed people." Indeed, to do his grace but com-
mon justice, it is a long time since he arrived at that
determination. Surely he was never known to disedify the
neighbour by " a parade of splendour," or any species of ex.
travagance. Ever since his ingress to this diocese (and
many who then hailed his coming perhaps now feel much
disappointed) he did not s.•nd one-half his annual income.
The provident foresight with which he consulted for the
future enables him now to be very determined on this occa-
sion. He might, if he willed, never again trouble his clergy
fur dues of any kind. The interest ot his money would sup-
port him henceforward in the style which he hitherto main-
tained, and if he wes enxious " not to be seen to riae," Sc.,
ho might manage the matter privately Fineness himself and
his bankers. I do not mean to say that the hoardings of past
years are the result of an avaricious propensity ; I am sure
they are not. He certainly must have intended them for
some good purpose, such as that contemplated in the rescript
of kis Holmes, else he would not have used the follow-
ing observation: " We shall joyfully, like the Baptist, Dr
content with such humble food and raiment as the desert of
our country can supply, rather than forego the duty of, &c."
The allusion to the Bsptist appears to me to be both inap-
propriate end inapplicable. St. John retired into the desert,
not from necessity, but from choice ; not from constraint,
but from a spirit of mortification. If the Johns of the pre-
sent day possess the same spirit, why welt till necessity
compelled them to be content " with the food and raiment
of the desert ? D senor BP Hale has, I fear, been guilty of very
great b reverence. The Saviour' in attestationjof the Bap-
tist's extraordinary sanctity, in the most emphatic mamier
has declared, " that there bath not risen among them that
are born of women a greater than Jobn the Baptist," and
yet his, grace would seem to say, that every one of the 3,000
priests are capable of equally heroic and virtuous atlas.
There was also another virtue for which St. John
was highly distinguished—kis humility ; In his own
estimation, he was but "the voice of one crying
in the wilderness," itc. I do not see the probability that
he will have many imitators in this more than his other
virtues though I know full well he oaght. In the tallness
of his humility, John the Baptist cried aloud, "Ego vox
clematis in desert° ;" but another may exclaim with equal
truth, though not with the same humility, " Vox et prieterea
nihiL" During my life I never read a passage containing se
much of metaphorical bombast as that in which reference
is made to the Baptist. Whst is sew by the "desert of
our country," or " the food and raiment" winch It can sup.
ply ? In the name of common sense, let men talk seriously.
I tell you again, dr, I don't like nonsensical antics. I will
candidly confess that I entertain one objection, an objection
of a financial nature against the pension. If the programme
ot its details which I have been in the newspapers has been
duly authorised, I have no hesitation in saying that the loon-
don on such terms cannot be satisfactory to the great Wily
of the clergy. It is not alone that " the labourer is worthy
of his hire," but the reward should be proportioned to the
labour, and, as regards the clergy, the zeal with which they
" -hsete their duty.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, Nov. 7.
The chartist trials fixed for to-day have been post-
poned till Thursday. The judges on the bench were
the Lord Justice Clerk, Lard Medwyn, and Lord
Mackenzie. The court was crowded to excess, and
the greatest interest was manifested by those present.
The proceedings having commenced by James Cum-
ming being place 3 at the bar, his counsel raised an
objection, which has been deemed of such importance
as to be laid before the whole bench of judges, who
are to assemble on Thursday to hear the pleadings
and decide upon them. The general import of the
objection is, that while the major proposition of the
' • t charges the prisoner Cumming with con-
travention of the Government Security Bill, sedition,
and conspiracy, the facts set forth in the minor pro-
position amount to the crime of high treason.
The cholera is no longer restricted to Edin-
burgh : it has broken out at Portobello,
Museelbargh, Dalkeith, Lasswade. and Loanhead,
all small towns and villages within six miles
of Edinburgh, and lying to the east and
south-east. The disease has been peculiarly virulent
in Loanhead, which is an inland village, situated on
an eminence, and naturally in a healthy position; but
it is generally inhabited by colliers and others of the
poorer classes, and is most probably defective in drain-
age. A young man from Glasgow, who had been at-
tending a funeral in Loanhead, returned to the former
place on Sunday, and was shortly after seized, and
died after a short illness.
The apathy with which cholera has been received
in Edinburgh is remarkable. Had it made its first
appearance in seine remote part of the empire, and
then approached by slow stages, the excitement would
have been mach greater; but haring come at once to
the capital, there has scarcely been time for alarm.
When we were threatened with chartist outbreaks,
the utmost extent of which would have been a few
