LIBERAL BANQUET AT LEEDS.

LEEDS, TOBSDAT NIOAT.

In celebration cf the peening of the Reform Bill,
a banquet, under the ;auspices of the Yorkshire depart-
ment of the Reform League, was held here to-night, in
the Queen's Hotel, and was attended by about 300 persons.
Mr. A. ILLINGWORTH, of Bradford, occupied the chair, and
there were present Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. E. A. Leatham,
Mr. Alderman Carter, an ,1 Dr. Lets,
Mr. LEATHLM proposed " The Howes of Parliament."
Mr. BAINLS responded, and, whilst =erasing hie con-
fidence in the new electors enfranchised by the Reform
Bill, advocated the adoption of the ballot as a preventive
Ito bribery and intimidation. He also expressed the hope
that several working men would be returned to the new
parliament, not, however, baying the invidious title of
representatives of labour, but on an equal footing with all
the other members of the legislature.
1 The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the
proceedings.

BRADFORD ELECTION.

THE POLL.
BRADFORD, TCEFIDAT EVENING.

The poll to supply the vacancy in the represent-
ation of this borough took piece to-sky. The town has
been in • state of great excitement dating the entire
day. The streets, especially Bridge-street, where are
situate the central committee rooms of the respective can-
didates, were crowded by persons anxious to learn the
state of the poll. The crowd was frequently noisy, but
good-humoured. Mr. Miall took the lead in the poll and
kept it till 10 o'clock. At half-past 10 the poll showed
that Mr. Thompson had 1,279 votes against 1,241 re-
corded for Mr. Miall. From this hour Mr. Thompson
took the lead of Mr. Miall, and slightly distanced him
almost at every half hour ; and ultimately obtained a
majority of about 300. In the evening great excitement
prevailed in the town, and some disturbances took place.

CLERIiMi WELL

John Ileimphries,aged 51, a ace ve;ger, was charged on
remand before Mr. Barker with committing • serious
assault on George Barley, at Southgate-road, Islington.
The evidence showed that the parties had some words
together, the defendant's grievance being, as he stated,that
the complainant owed him money. The defendant wanted
the complainant to fight, end because he would not do so
the defendant hit him violently on the head and knocked
him down. So badly was the complainant injured that
he was kept to his bed for some days, and was still suffer-
ing, and would do so for some days to oorne.
In reply to the charge.
The defendant said that what he did was done in self-
defence, and because the complainant owed him money.
Mr. Barker said it was plain that a very violent assault
had been committed, and ordered the defendant to pay •
tine of V. and If. costs, or in default of payment two
calendar months' hard labour in the House of Correction.

The defendant, who Bald he had no money, was locked
up in default.
61111d4 Smith, a prostitute, residing at 9, Brighton.street,
St. Pancras, was charged with being drunk, disorderly,
and making nee of obscene language.
Police-constable Taylor, i.SI N, said that on Monday
night, between ten and eleven o'clock, Le saw the de-
fendant, who was much the worse for liquor, outside a
music Lail. She was making use of most dir,i,,usting lan-
guage, and when asked to go away she refused. She said
she had Leen in the music hall, and would go again. Find-
ing that she caused a great disturbance ho locked her up.
She bad been several times in custody as a disorderly pros
titute. _ _

The defendant said she was very sorry for what she had
done. She bad been to the mum ball with some friends,
and bad unfortunately got a drop too much to drink. If
she was let go this time she would take care never to offend
any more.
Mr. Barker said that drunkenness was no excuse for such
conduct, and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of :is., or
in default of payment she would have to go to the House
of Correction for seven days.
The has was paid.

COOLIE EMIGRATION.—The Ganges left this port
some days ago for India, having on board 451 persons,
being East Indian immigrants, with their families, whose
periods of labour in this colony had expired, and who had
therefore become entitled to a free return passage to their
own country. Of this number 404 were bound for Cal-
cutta and 47 for Madras. Certain facts connected with the
departure of these people may help to defend British
Guiana from an accusation that has been made against it
of fostering a cruel and pernicious system of immigration
and labour. Coolie emigration has been denounced in
England, and is now being denounced in America, as some-
thing by which the Chinaman or East Indian is
reduced to • condition little if at all better
than that of the African was before emancipation.
Let us see whether a reference to the immigrants who left
by the Ganges will sustain or refute that view. These
people having passed their allotted time in British Guiana
now return to India free of expense ; they carry on their
persons gold and silver ornaments and coins of very irreat
value, which they have purchased out of their
They expended some money in procuring clothingesarluat
for the voyage ; several of them made remittances to India
through the banks. Exclusive of all these deductions the
immigrants lodged with the Colonial Receiver-General for
remittance to India on their account 10 2371. 14e. 2d.
Making a moderate allowance for the outla and remit-
tames mentioned above, each actual depositor (and the
number of depositors is of necessity less than the entire
number of souls on board) would have saved nearly 34/,.
during his sojourn in British Guiana. The homeward
passage being free of expense to the emigrant be will have
this sum to draw without any deduction onarriving in his
own oountry.—Tat Demerara Colonist, Sept. 23.

The bankrupt was described as of Gower-street, Bed-
fonl-upure, of no occupation. His debts amount to
2.45 W. The creditors are 75 in number ' • their claims are
principally for goods and money lent. The expenditure
as stated at 400/., and 600/. for the two years preceding the
bankruptcy.
Mr. Aldridge
The bankrupt being stated that he had some
thousands of pounds when he came of age in l 8 it ; it was
over 5,000/. He spent it in speculation ; the kat was two
years ago.
Mr. H. Stokes, bootmaker, of Probert-street, Haymars
ket, a creditor for W. 145., opposed in person. He con-
tended that the bankrupt had property, he had married
the slaughter of a rich man, Mr. Lamert. and was entitled
to a large fortune of his own. There wan no doubt he bad
plenty of money ; for though his appearance, now that ho
was before the court, was rather " shady," when going
about at the West-end he was a second Count D'Orsay.
(I.auF,hter.) He asked for an adjournment in order that
inquiry might be made as to the bankrupt's property.
Several other creditor. expressed their intention to

Mews. Emanuel a set of turquoise studs valued at
and other valuable jewellery, for which the bankrupt had
not accounted. He asked that he should furnish a goods
account.

His Honour directed the bankrupt to furnish a cub
and goods account for two years preceding the bankruptcy,

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

In the records of poetic justice, the Examiner
rye, there has seldom been a case of more curiously just
retribution than has overtaken the present cabinet. The
project of a large and comprehensive measure had to be
abandoned at the eleventh hour for a halting and incon-
sistent schema, in deference to the repugnance of four.
fifths of the holders of officio and the great body
of the party. As for this bill No. 2, it would
be rash indeed to speak of it as a thing determinate
and settled before it is a week old. Who can tell
what it will be like, after it has been vaccinated ? We
know if it does not submit to that operation it has not a
chance of living: and then let Mr. Bruce say what he will,
weakly infants do very often die in the process. 111 the
view of the Examiner there is no hope of a settlement if
both parties do not agree to a household or rate-paying
franchise. There is no more logic or reason in aN. than
in a M. test of qualification ; and as for the meagre out-
line of redistribution, unless it can be filled up in com-
mittee, and made to exclude and to include many places
for which it does not now find room, it seems impossible
to conceive that it should become permanently the political
map of England.
Among the rumours of the hour the Spertntor selects
the following ma the most probable. There is a violent
dispute within the cabinet, as within the tory party, as to
the policy to be pursued with respect to the fnuichiae•

It is absurd to think that any good can be done, or say
honour brought to the profession, by such behaviour ,n

we deem it highly discreditable to the profession, net

were the fair doctor to choose to entertain an audience in

Two petitions of creditors which had been presented for
a compulsory winding up of this company were withdrawn
this morning, as it appeared that the company was pos-

ruined by a compulsory order. The company is being
wound up voluntarily.
The Vice-Chancellor directed that all parties entitled to
appear should have their costs paid by the liquidator.
Mr. Caldecott and Mr. Eddie represented the petitioners;
and Mr. K K. Kerslake, Mr. lturtt, and Mr. J. Smith
appeared for other creditors ; the company was represented

SUPPLY.

On the motion of Mr. Hun. a aum of 56,786 f. Be. 6d.
waa voted to make good an exams of expenditure upon
civil services during the peat sear, and the house resumed.

Mr. WALPOLE, in moving for leave to bring in a bill
for the extension of the Factory Acts, explained that it
would affect six different kinds of trades, and that it
would extend to them the provisions of the Factory Acts
with regard to ventilation and cleanliness, security and
health, hours of employment, and compulsory attendance
of children at schools. It also provided that no women or
children should be employed at nightwork except in par-
ticular trades, hut it allowed young persons to be em-
ployed in certain cases at night on condition that they
should not be employed in factory labour during the
preceding or sumeding day, or more than a certain
number of nights in a fortnight. He also proposed to
bring in another bill to regulate the hours of labour for
children, young persons, and women employed -in work-
shops. If passed in :o law it would protect those who
could not protect themselves, and would affect upwards
of 11,000 of that clams. provided that no children
under eight years of age should be employed ; it would
regulate the hours of labour for children over that age,
and for women employed in lace manufactories, hosiery,
and other industrial pursuits.
Mr. H. BRUCE expressed his warm approval of the
bill, and his hope that eventually children employed in
agriculture would also be brought under the protection of
the legislature.
Mr. E. POTTER was gratified to think that the bill was
I likely to receive support from both sides of the house, and

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
_ .

William Hopkinson, 30, was brought up for judgment.
The defendant was convicted at the November sessions
of We court of having made a false affidavit in the Bank-
ruptcy Court, with reference to the amount of his debts,
and the subsequent inquiries that were made left no douht
that there had been some very irregular proceedings carried
on by a person named Welshman and another man, who
had acted as clerks to an attorney named George. It was
represented that a deed had been concocted by which it
was made to appear that a r.ertain number of Hopkinson's
creditors had given their convent to a certain proposition,
under which Hopkinson would have obtained his dis-
charge, and judgment was respited in order to obtain pos-
session of this deed, with a view to further legal proceed-
ings being instituted upon it. Mr. George had been called
upon to produce this deed, but he did not do so, and at
the hat sessions it was stated that the deed had been de-
stroyed, and there appeared to he no doubt that this was
the fact.

Mr. Commissioner Kerr, having referred to these facts,
expressed his opinion that it would be useless to put the
prosecutors to any further trouble in the matter, espe-
cially as there wan no power under the Bankruptcy Act to
allow the expenses. He had received a oommunication
from one of the officers of the Bankruptcy Court to the
effect that a large number of deeds of the character repre-
@ented had been impounded in that court within a very
short period, and that many of them were believed to be
of the most fraudulent description. He then expressed
his opinion that it was of the greatest importance that a
public prosecutor should be appointed, and said it ap-
peared to him that until this was dose no effectual check
could be put to such practims as appeared to have been
resorted to in the present instance.
The defendant was then sentenced to eight months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(110TI8'8 TZLIONAIIB.I
GREEK ARMAMENTS.
ATHENS, JAN. 28.

The government have brought forward a bill in
the Chambers raising the Greek army to 31,000
men, 14,000 of whom will constitute the standing
army, and the remainder an auxiliary force.
The Minister of War justifies this measure by
the armaments and the threatening notes of
Turkey, and the imminent rising in her Christian
provinces. Greece, he says, offers provocation to
none. She desires peace, but without humiliation.
Intelligence received here from Candia, dated
21st inst., states that the insurrection in the eastern
provinces is not yet quelled. The Sphakiotes had
again rejected propositions made to them by Mus-
tapha Paella, who was in possession of the sea-
board.

representing the Left of the Lower House with-
drew their resolution, not wishing to discuss the
propositions of the Committee of Fifteen, but de-
siring that they should be laid before the Diet in
the shape of a government bill. The majority re-
solved upon discussing the report of the Committee
of Fifteen, which was adopted in principle after a
short debate.

Tho committee then entered upon the general
discussion of the report, in the course of which
clauses 1 and 2 were passed.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

Comparpd with Monday there was no alteration of imp
portance in thP grain trade. The receipts of wheal
from Ease: and Kent, both by ship and land carnage , were
very moderate, and in but middhng condition. *With.
standing the small quantity offered, no improvement wee
apparent in the demand, and business was only concluded
at llonday's fall in prices.
Much the same may be said of foreign wheat, the allow
of which was tolerably good. For all descriptions the
trail., was in an unhealthy state, at the late reduction in
value.

off Falmouth and Queenstown, barley and maize
were scarce, and were generally firmly held. Wheat, how-
ever, as well as other descriptions of produce, attest, were
difficult to sell, and prices had a drooping tendency.
Very little English barley was offered, but there was a
fair supply of foreign produce. The inquiry was heavy, at
Monday's quotations.
In malt very little was doing, at late currencies.
Oats were in fair supply and limited request at the
recent decline.
In beans, nothing of interest transpired, and peas were
without alteration from our previous report.

Flour ruled quiet, on former JAI UM
The seed market generally ruled quiet, at late rates.
Cakes realised full prices.

TUE BETHNAL-GREEN CASE.

... . .
The "following letter has been addressed to ,
the chairman of the board of guardians by the
Rev. Septiaine Hansard, rector of Bethnal-green :
Dear Sir, —I regret my inability to attend the board this
afternoon. The doctor will not allow me to leave my
room. ' I will therefore ask you to read this letter to the
board. At the recent investigation, held by the board. ei
the alleged neglect of a patient by one of their medical
officer., two very important statements were elicited in
cross-examination from Kr. Massingham, which I do not
think the guardians should pass over without notice.
whatever be the decision of the Poor-law Bean! with
respect_ to the special charge brought against that o&osr.
The statements to which I allude are as follows • —ln
reply to a question put to Mr. Masidngham, be most dis-
tinctly said that he considered that in a case of childbirth
be would be adequately discharging his duty towards the
patient if he visited her twenty-four hours after the birth
of the child. The case which he chose as • typicm in-
stance of his practice in this respect was certainly an un-
fortunate one. as the poor woman had received no aid
either from midwife or surgeon in giving birth to her child.
The second statement was.. that as he had sent to attend
this patient, not ids assistant medical man, but a young
man not legally qualified, so be should certainly do the .
same in other mats. And I beg to remind the board that •
he repeated this statement with considerable emphasis,
evidently manifesting thereby his sincere conviction
that he was both legally and morally right in saying so.
Now. whatever be the decision of the Poor-law Board in the
present instance, and whatever respect is due generally to
the decisions of that board (a respect which you will all
grant I have never failed to manifest when their comma-
nicatioos have been read to you), 1 cannot but think that
it is the duty of the guardians of the poor toaasee=gr
the Poor-law Board in plain terms whether Mr.
ham is right or wrong in making these statemeals. If the
matter remains where it is, and no official no** Is Want
of Mr. Masaingham's statement*, then you will have no
security that poor women in their utmost need will be
attended within 24 hours of childbirth by *properly quali-
fied surgeon,
I must respectfully beg that the board will not allow
the occasion to pain without requiring from the Poor-law
Board special instructions on so important a matter. —I
beg to remain, your obedient servant,
Jan. 2't. tsarinas HANSARD.

With reference to the crop of cotton in America,
the following is from the Circular of Messrs. Neill
Brothers and Co., dated New York, the 15th inst.:
The crop accounts continue of precisely the same cha-
racter as of late. There can be no doubt that the yield in
picking out and in ginning has generally been considerably
abort of what the planter themselves expected from the
appearance of their crops in the held. As it will be
admitted that they generally take too gloomy rather than
too cheerful a view of their prospects, our friends will
not be surprised that we gave them credit for not exag-
gerating in the latter direction in our early estimates.
A considerable allowance must now of mums be made
for the disappointing yield, but still we are very far
from adopting the now pretty general estimate of 1,300,000
bales. Liberal allowance must still be made for the
tendency which exists on the part of holders to under.
estimate the crop, and nearly every one at the South in
a holder.

Since these accounts were made up, a dividend at the ram of
8 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bank, and
an extra dividend of 16s. per share, together £2 a share, have
been declared on the 60,400 shares which constitute the Com-
pany's capital and the same are now payable at the Bead.nMce

now payable for the half-year ending 31st December, 1866, amount
together to 4106,000.
The Merton desire to state that the decrease In the profits of
the past half-year is chiefly due to the fact that they deemed It
prudent, In face of an extremely exceptional state of public
credit, to maintain huger actual cash reserves than were deemed
requisite In former years, and which were necessarily wholly
unposinetive,
Another circumstance must be noticed as affecting the amount
of meta. The return of commercial and finantial ease In Great
Britain had scarcely been felt, before the Fenian excitement a
secoad time manifested itself in Ireland, In consequence of
whht, prudence again dictated to the Directors to send extra re-
mittances of specie to their depots, at a considerable expense and
loss of interest.
The Directors, however, are gratified to state that before the
elms or the leer the excitement had completely passed sway,
and gold has commenced and continues to flow back steadily.
