CROYDON STEEPLECHASES.—AVtDxzsDAY.
This meeting, so intensely popular with the Cockneys-
s,
vas concluded to-day under exceedinglyly favourable ea
y/nes. The fog, which was intense in London this morn-
was hardly visible at Croydon, avd the afternoon was
thoroughly enjoyable. In point of attendance the meeting
was highly successful, and far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of the promoters, whose coffers must have
been considerably augmented by the immense number of
shillings paid at the entrance. The fences which in some
dues yesterday gave slight dissatisfaction had been this
morning considerably lowered, but the " drop" and water
jwere simp not altered, although some gorse had been
ome-
scat-
u oin" red in the vicinage of the last-named place. In c
junco of the clayey uature of the graund the "gg
was somewhat heavy. The card to-day contained six
awes, two of which were matches, and created but passing
ieteresa Speculation on the great event was carried on
bristly prior to the start, and several of the competitors were
backed for a good deal of money, Globule finishing at
Sto 1. Hornet, however, held " the pride of place,"
leaving off at sto 1. Of the others the most fancied were
Astrolabe, Clansman, Meanwood, Patience, and %e.
Little need be said of the race, as Globule made most of
the running, and woo very easily by three lengths. This
/morning Mr. C. H. Carew, the owner of Redwing, who ran
second in the Selling Steeplechase yesterday, objected to
the race on the ground that the competitors went onlywo
a
mile and a quarter instead of the proper distance, t
miles and a half.
This afternoon the stewards heard evident), upon the
point, the Duke of Hamilton adjudicating for Mr. Heath-
mate, who had some beta on the race. They decided as
follows: " We consider that the steeplechase won by
Hungerfotd is no race, owing to the horses having run
smile and a quarter instead of the proper distance.-

Rickards was enabled to catch the favourite at the bottom
tern, where both refused ,• but being got over at the
second attempt, Scandal led to the water jump at the
fence, passing which Spitfire refused. At the fence out of
the turnip field she again refused, and Scandal was up-
wards of a distance ahead, when Rickards inducted Spitfire
to go on, but refusing again a couple of fences further,
afair eight attempts, ahe was cantered home, and Scandal

hied, and, bolting into the next field, was not further

site the stand was a long way in the rear. Going along

rapidly made up the lost ground, joined St. Maximum,
and the quartette took close order and entered the straight

ensued, ending in favour of Flyfisher by a length, Pine

DENAE FOCI TN LlVERPO,L.—Yesterday MOM-
iag, about half-past eight o'clock. one of the densest fogs
ever oinerved in Liverpool suddenly enveloped the town
with a haze as dark as midnight. At this time, the street ,
Imps having been extinguished, locomotion in the more
crowded streets was almost inipcssihic, and as the fog kept
ibieltening in dark waves, the tr.dlic was for about ball an
IhroUr all but suspended. A Scotch mist appeared to be
tailing during this time and to absorb all tau away par-
ticles in the air. It is singular that the fog was the moat
Lam in the higher parts of the town. Fortunately no
aseidents of any consequence occurred. London was also
Melted by fog durWg the day, but it was not of so dense a
iseceipaion as described arose.

The Maldon Conservative Club celebrated its
anniversary dinner on Tuesday night, under the presi-
dency of Dir. C. Du CANI ILL'., one of the junior Lords
of the Admiralty. On the right and left of the chairman
sat Mr. G. M. W. Sandford, h1.1'., and Mr. Earle,
M.
and there was also present Lord Eustece Cecil, M.P.
for South Essex.
After the usual loyal touts,
The CHAIRMAN gave " The Army, Navy, Militia, and
Volunteers." (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman said there
never was a time in the history of this country when the
maintenance of an efficient army and navy was of such
vital importance to its internal prosperity, and when •
deeper responsibility rested upon those who presided over
our military and naval administration. As far as the
tinny was concerned, he thought that the name of General
Peel was one which inspired confidence throughout the
country ; and saking for the Board of Admiralty, of
which he (Mr. Cane) had the honour to be a humble
member, he could only say that that board was deeply im-
pressed with a sense of the responsibility which devolved
upon it. (Hear, hear.)
Captain ISHERWOOD responded for the army, and Lieu-
tenant HEIIPHILITS for the volunteers.
The CH antmatt, in giving the " Conservative Members for
Maldon, Mr. Sandford and Mr. Earle," said that although
the political future was shrouded to a certain extent in un-
certainty he could not help thinking that the events of last
session, and the language held on certain platfunus during
the past autumn, had done much to strengthen that dislike
organic constitutiocal changes which had mainly led to the
instalment of the conservatives in office. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SaNueow, M.P., in responding, said he did not
know what course her Majesty's government might pursue
upon the question of reform, although there were two
oracles present from whom something might perhaps be
extracted—(laughterbut he could not help poiuting out
that in all previous reform bills some injustice had been
mated out to Maldon. Mahlon, with its 900 electors was
placed in schedule 1) as if it were a town with a population
of some 6,0)0 or 7,000 persons • but one-half the electors
of hlaldon were derived from' 42 square miles of country
round the town, and surely home allowance ought to be
made for the population of these 42 square miles. If that
population were taken into account the borough of Malden
would figure with between 11,000 and 12,0u0 attachol to
is ; at all events, it would be in such a position that it
would certainly not be touched by any reform
tail. (He
of
,
hear.) He did not wish now to go into the subject
grouping. He retained his original objection to any
grouping, because he was sufficiently selfish not to wish to
nave any further trouble or expense entailed upon hen
(laugh en—but in the interests of his constituents
dot
he was
not sure whether a fair system of grouping wou
have at least one advantage. If the electors
of Meld= were grouped with some other place so
as to make up a constituency of at least
10,000 or 15,000, instead of being shut out on any future
reform bill, they would be placed in a position to last cer-
tainly as long as the BMW' constitution. When he spoke
of the principle of grouping he limited himself to existing
constituencies, because then, at all events, it was known
who your bedfellows were to be—ilaughter)—and respect
was shown to prescriptive rights and traditional interests.
There was another system of grouping which found favour
with certain parties, and which consisted in tacking on to
Malden places like Coggeshsll
and Braintree. Such •
system might suit the parties to whom he had referred,
but he did not think it would suit those present ; and if
such a system were proposed he should give it, from what-
ever quarter it might conic, the most determined opposi-
tion. (Hear, bear.) He had a word to add upon the sub-
l in-
ject of our foreign relations. We possessed no offa
formation upon the subject, but what he bad read in the
public journals as to the tone of a recent despatch from
Mr. Seward had given him pain. He found that, referring
to certain Fenian, condemned in Canada, and taken
red-banded in as piratical an invasion of a peaceful
country as history ever recorded, Mr. Seward, in language
of menace and defiance, demanded a commutation of their
sentence, and be was sorry to add that rumour said that
her Majesty's government were inclined to comply with the
request. Far be i' from him (Mr. Sandford) to dispute the
possession by her Majesty of the attributes of clemency
and mercy, which were amongst the highest as they were
amongst the most sacred of the prerogatives of Majesty ;
but they were prerogatives which should be exercised by
our sovereign of her own free will, and not at the dic-
tation of the minister of a foreign power. (Hear, hear.)
He sincerely trotted that her Majesty's responsible
adviser% had given no such counsel to her Majesty as
rumour attributed to them upon the present occasion. He
thought he might venture to add that the presence in the
cabinet of one whom above all he respected—he meant
Lord Cranhorne—was a pledge and a guarantee of a con-
trary policy ; and he confidently hoped and relied that
when the papers relating to the subject were rlaced upon
the tablejof the house, a very different complexion would be
given to the whole transaction. If on the other band it
should appearthat thebonourof Englendhadbeentamished,
and that humiliating concessions had been made at the
dictation of a minister of a foreign state, then so far as
his humble. vote was concerned, if he were called upon to
choose between t'o cries of party and the cries of patriot-
ism, he would neither hesitate nor palter in his choice,
nor would he allow even his desire to retain a conservative
government in office to weigh for a single instant in the
balance agaimit the honour and dignity of his country.
(Cheers.)
Mr. EARLE, M.P., also replied. When he heard the
question of parliamentary reform discussed he owned that
lie felt much more anxious to ascertain what would be the
probable effects of parliamentary refonn, than inquisitive
as to the particular year in which a reform bill might be
carried. It appeared to him that in all the discussions
which arose upon that subject there was, sometimes upon
one side and sometimes upon the other, a certain amount
of exaggeration. In the case of a reformed parliament, he
believed the direction given to its first efforts would mainly
depend upon the individual influences to which it might
be subjected, just as in the case of a ship its course de-
pended upon the man at the helm. In discussing the
question of refonn he bad no doubt that the members of
the club would endeavour, while seeking perhaps for
greater vigour, still to preserve the stability which they
now enjoyed. If they discussed the question with that
v:ew. he thought they would agree with him that it must
be considered in a very different spirit from that in which
it had been treated on certain platforms since the proro-
gation of parliament. He hoped that in dealing with this
great question we should combine vigour with stability,
end that we should not be induced to take • ticket in the
lottery of revolution unless we saw ocr way clearly to
drawing a prize. (Cheers.)
Mr. W. M. Tv rexr.t.t. proposed the "Conservative
Members pr sent."
Lord E. Cia•ta, 31. P., acknowledged the compliment,
and, in speaking of the reform question, said, although
thew had been enough of abuse and vituporation in the
di:lib:Miens of the Reform League, he was afraid that
there hail been very little common sense or wisdom in
their councils. All the vials of the great agitator's wrath
had beau poured out upon the devoted beads, not only of
the conservative party, but of every respect ible person in
the connnunity. The great Birmingham prophet bail, like
the seer of old, been taken by the Reform League, not
from mountain to mountain, but from town to town ; hut
instead of cursing his enemies he (Lord E. Cecil) ventured
to Lay that in the opinion of every unprejudiced person
ho had seven times blessed them. (Laughter.) A little
incident took place in the House of Commons last year
which excited some attention at the time--the hon. mem-
ber for North Warwick called Mr. Whalley a Jeenit in
ilisgni,e, for the manner in which he advocated protestant
interests in parliament. (Laughter.) Well,when he (Lord
E. Cecil) remembered the speeches of a certain other
great F.r .on tge he wondered that some rather suspicious
tuera'.er of the Reform League did not get up and call him
a conservative in disguise, for the manner in which he
advocated the reform question. But, apart from the
strong langusge contained in the celebrated but unhappy
speeches of Mr. Bright, it seemed to him (Lord E. Cecil)
Eli It there were one or two fallacies underlying the hon.
gentleman's tervid declamation. The first of these fallacies
was that the artizans of the large towns, however much
we might wish to see them admitted to the franchise, con-
stituted the people of England ; and the second was that
everything good came from the large towns, and every-
thine bad aud corrupt from the small boroughs and the
counties. Cu every occasion, too, the great agricultural
interest was persistently vilified, and was constantly held
up as being numerically inferior and politically of len
importance. Now gentlemen who talkedin this way
entirely forgot that the population of the counties com-
prised 11,000,000, and that of the boroughs 9,000,000,
and yet the counties only returned something like
I.io members, while the boroughs returned over
330 members. Notwithstanding these facts and
figures, the cry was constantly raised that the repre-
sentation of the agricultural interest was too great in the
present parliament. As to nothing good coming from
small boroughs, he thought he had only to point in reply
to the excellent speeches with which they had been fa-
voured by two borough member. that evening ; and as to
Lave ci.nstituesicies being a safeguard against bribery,
without going into the question of hi ibery or the revela-
tions which we had lately had at Totues, Yarmouth, and
Lancaster, he would call attention to a few deductions
which he had made from a parliamentary return just
lamed with reference to the expenses of candidates at the
last general election. Aooonling to the published return
—and he only dealt with legitimate and published expen-
diture—(a laugh)—it was stetal that at Bristol the
average exnenditnre of each cendida•e was 2,(1371. ; at
Manchester, 1,6511.; at Glaygow, 2,817/. ; at Dublin,
4,567/. ; in the City of London, 2,410. ; in Marylebone,
2,031/. ; and at Westminster—which was always held up
as the blue riband of representation, although be
thought there was a good deal of gold tinsel mixed up
with the blue riband-4,0111. Now, at Malden, which
he did not suppose was the least expensive of the
boroughs of England, the average expenditure of each
candidate at the last general election was only 6431., or
just one-fourth of the expenditure of each candidate at
Glasgow, and one-sixth of the average expenditure in-
curred be each candidate at Westminster. These facts
showed that the tendency of large constituencies was
rather to increase than to diminish the expenditure of can-
didates, and that before any bill passed which would re-
present all classes there were many other points to be con-
shlere'l beslilet a lowering of thelranchise. Looking into the
political horizon, it seemed to him there were several
other questions quite as important as reform which de-
an attentive and clue imasidention. There was

-
THE REFORM LEAGUE.—The weekly meeting 0)
the council of this League was held last evening at the
offices, No. 8, Adelphi-terrace ; Lieutenant-ColonelDickson
in the chair. A discussion took place on the subject of
the demonstration proposed to be held under the aus-
pices of the League at the opening of parliament, there
being some difference of opinion as to the advisability of
its taking place on the day immediately preceding or that
succeeding the assembling of the house. It was ultimately
resolved, after a division, that the demonstration should
take place on the Monday before the opening of parlia-
ment. It was arranged that the branches of the League
taking part in the forthcoming trade and
friendly societies' reform demonstration should
meet at the following places, viz. Clerkenwell
green, squ
are
and the Obelisk (Blackfriars-road),
Russell-square, and Sloane-square. A report recommend-
ing that a soiree and ball, in aid of the funds of the
League, should take place at St. Martin's-ball, on New
Year s-e,O-, was adopted, as also a recommendation that
a bazaar for the same purpose be held in the spring. Act-
ing on ►• suggestion contained in a communication addressed
to the secretary by Mr. J. B. Langley, the council passed a
resolution expressive of the determination of the League
to attend at Wetitminater-haff on the day following the
assembling of parliament, and on the steps to present to
parliament, through Mr. Bright, M.l'. Mr. Mill, M.P.,
and Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., 10,000 individual petitions in
favour of parliamentary reform, an understanding to t

effect having been come to with those gentlemen.
secretary reported that the Irish branch of the League was
in working order.
NATIONAL REFORM UNION.—A meeting of the
executive was held at 12, Newall's-buildings, Manchester,
on Tuesday night, Mr. George Wilson in the chair. A
long list of meetings held during the past fortnight was
read over, and the agents reported that further meetings
I were arranged to be held at New Mills, Lymm, Moor-
lane, Stretford, Rawtonstall, Openshaw Hollingworth,
' Accrington, Pencllebury, Warrington, Sto'ckport, Glossop,
and several other places, the dates for winch were
not yet fixed. A numerous addition of new branches
was reported, and the work of enrolling members
was stated to be progressing favourably. On the
motion of Mr. J. B. Torr, it was unanimously resolved :
II " That the best thanks of this executive he and are
hereby given to the gentlemen who formed the banquet
1 committee, for the successful and admirable manner in
1 which they have managed the recent reform banquet."
After some conversation respecting the conference, which
I was considered a great success, not merely on account of
I the number of delegates who attended, but because of the
i great unanimity also which prevailed,
. a resolution, thank-
ing the conference committee for their labours in connex-
I ion with the conference, was passed. Thanks were also
voted to Mr. J. 1). Morton, the agent, for the energy
displayed by him in making the necessary arrangements
for the conference and banquet. The chairman reviewed
I the recent successful course pursued by the executive, and
I the various sub-committees, and re,uarked on the vast
II
work which yet remained for the union to perform. The

adjourned meeting of the Demoristration Committee was
held last night at the Brougham-hall, Fleet-street ; Mr.
IG. Potter in the chair. The Chairman reported that the
I arrangements with Lord Itanclagli had been concluded
I that morning, and that his lordship lend placed not only
I the grounds hut the house at the disposal of the corn-
' roittee, and arrangements hail been made with the pro-
' prietor of the canteen of the South Middlesex Ride Corps
for the supply of refreshments. The adjutant and officers
of the corps Wel also met the committee in the most liberal
manner, and had promised, notwithstanding their diffe-
rence in political opinions, to afford every facility for the
arrangeniefits 1 f tfie day. (Cheers.) Seven platforms
would be erected im the grounds, from which the assembled
people would be addressed, and at dusk the grounds
would be illuminated with the magnesium light at
four different points. It had also been arranged
that the grounds should be cleared at six o'clock.
The secretary reported that since the place of meeting
bad been fixed, several trades and other societies who had
hitherto held aloof had notified their intention of taking
part in the proceedings of the d iy, and letters hail been
received during the day announcing the intention of the
Reform .Associations in a large number of the provin-
cial towns to send up deputations. A considerable num-
ber of the employers in the building and other trades
bad already consented to class their workshops on Mon-
day next, and there appeared every reason to believe that
in the great majority of the principal firms in all branches
of industry there would be an almost entire cessation fi on:
labour on that day. The secretary was instructed toengage
a private room in the neichhourhood of St. James's Pa!ace
in which the various provincial deputations (mold as-
semble, and to make arrangements for a public breakfast
to the deputations and the delegates on the Tuesday morn-
ing. A sub-committee was appointed to prepare the reso-
lutions, and appoint the various chairmen and speakers
to be selected from the delegates of the societies. After
trim smiting some routine business the committee adjourned
to the next general delegate meeting, on Friday evening
next. A preliminary programme was issued last evening,
and a final one will be ready by Saturday morning.
The bannereta of the various societies will be placed in
position in the Mall of St. J.unes's-park at half-past 9
o'clock on Monday morning. Local and district processions
must arrive at the place of meeting not later than 11
