MISCELLANEOUS Toms.

The Times urges the republican party in America seri-
ously to consider how much of their programme is really
essential to the future well-being of the republic. The
equity of their proposal—that the representation of the
South should be apportioned immediately to voters
and not to inhabitants, cannot be fairly questioned ; but
the other principal clause of the constitutional amendment,
which practically ostracises all the men who in any way
took part in secession, is absolutely. unnecessaiy. With the
exclusion of certain ringleaders of recession who could be
mentioned by name, the choice of repre.ientatives might
safely be unrestricted. Could the republicans learn to be
content with such a modification of the amendment, Mr.
Johnson might join with them, the Southern States could
ratify their proposals, and the Union might once more
be fairly restored.
While regarding Fenian invaders of Canada as robbers
and murderers, and their offence as in no degree political,
the Daily !Canis glad, nevertheless, that the sentences
of capital punishment have been commuted, because the
government was bound in duty to the Canadians to con-
sider what particular treatment of those whom jus-
tice had placed in its hands would be most
likely to prevent future invasions ; and the Dail!,
News believes that the desired end will be most
effectually promoted by subjecting the offenders to a
severe and protracted imprisonment. Lynch and M'Mahon
on a scaffold dying for their country might become heroes
and martyrs, but Lynch and M'Mahon wearily picking
(Arum in a penitentiary for their folly in joining a set of
scamps in a marauding expeil,tion wall be an example and
a " caution " to those who may be tempted to imitate their
exploits. Besides Fenianisin is, after all, a product of
British rule. It is bad enough to see our fellow subjects
leaving us for the New World with their hearts full of
bitterness ; it would be worse if we were compelled to set
up the gallows and noose the halter for them there. It
may come to that yet, but it is better, if possible, to avoid
such an extremity.

SOCIETY.

NATIONAL CHORAL
This society commenced its seventh season last
night with a performance of Mendelaaohn's
Elijah
as usual, in the large room of Exeter-hall.
Scarcely anything shows so forcibly the extent
and magnitude of the London musical public as the
existence and success of two such monster institu-
tions as the Sacred Harmonic Society and the
National Choral Society—both giving their oratorio
performances at the same season and in the same
bailding ; each boading its orchestra and chorus
of " nearly seven hundred performers," and alike
attracting separate audiences of some two to three
thousand persons, drawn together by no mere-
tricious display, but to listen to the sublime
sacred music of Handel, Beethoven, Men-
debeohn, and other classical composers. Such per-
formances afford an excellent counterpoise to the
puerilities and frivolities that will always attach to
any art that appeals, in public display, to multi-
tudes of various degrees of taste and intelligence.
The National Choral Society, which has now been
in active operation for six years, owes its origin
and success to the energetic perseverance of Mr.
CI. W. Martin, the conductor and director. The
great prosperity of the older institution, the Sacred
Harmonic Society, under Mr. Costa's direction,
and the crowded attendance at its performances,
led to the natural inference that, in so vast a place
as London, there might be room for a second society
with similar objects and purposes, and the resulthas
proved that the reasoning was sound, since the con-
carte of both these institutions (although perhaps
going a little too much over the same ground in the
works selected for performance) almost invariably
attract full audiences. The high character, how-
ever of the music performed by these societies
would justify any number of repetitions, and,
indeed, the fact that the hall is filled on every
occasion is an unanswerable argument in favour of
the policy pursued by each society. Still we could
wish that both would more frequently give some
specialty that should attach a distinguishing charac-
ter to each.
Mr. Martin's society consists of members limited
to the number of a thousand; ten grand peor-
mances being given each season, weekly meetings
being also held for rehearsal or performance from
October to July. The attendance hat night, at
the first performance of the present season, was
sufficiently large to show that the society is holding
its ground with no diminution of its prosperity.
The next performance of the National Choral
Society is announced for December 20, when the
Messiah is to be given.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

In an article headed " Liberals in Opposition,"
the Saturday Review observes:—The lames presented to
the country a year ago were not purely political ones.
Government by Lord Palmerston had come to mean
quietism pure and simple, unaccompanied by any par-
ticular doctrines of state policy, though it wes quietism of
a moderately liberal and Inofenive tows. But a large
proportion of liberals throughout the country are not
quietists, nor can they honourably pretend to be so ; and
Lord Rummers and Mr. Gladstooe's cabinet was not de-
signed to be a mere continuation of Lord Pal-
merston's r4giuse, bat the beginning of a new sae. In office
the late government hardly knew wh►t therms driving at.
And, whatever Yr. Gladstone's future creed, it is more for
the public interest that a great party should remain out
of office, and think clearly, than they should wield the
helm of State, not knowing exactly what they think.
And nobody yet knows what liberals do think. What
does Lord Bartiogton think, or Lord Granville, or Lord

A CLERICAL PLOT PREPARING IN RODLE.
The Roman correspondent of the Debate writes
as follows :
While conciliating ideas seem to prevail in high quarters
at Rome, a busy and implacable faction, which claims to
dictate laws to the church, and to trace the con-
duct which its august head should follow, is mine
than ever striving to get him to quit Italy and
thereby render impossible any reconciliation with
a government which it regards as revolutionary.
The Pope declared in his allocution of October 29 that he
would leave Rome if necessary, that is to say, if he was
forced. The object, therefore, is to get up a popular
movement against the government so as to influence the
action of the Pope. For this purpose elements of disorder
have been assembled in the city. The brigand cb;efs of
Southern Italy and of Sicily have been collected and con-
cealed in convents where their fanaticism is excited by
priests. The national committee, which has its eye on these
plane, has shown that the bread and meat supplied to the
convents by the butchers and bakers is three or four times
more than the usual quantity. Depots of concealed arms
have also been discovered, andall the powder in the shops of
the vendors of that article has been sold in one day. It is
to be hoped that these guilty designs, which wouldof oouroe
be attributed to the Italian government, will faiL It will
be sufficient to appeal to the patriotism and moderation of
the Roman people, and this is what the committee is
doing.

RUSSIAN INTOLERANCE.

The Breslau Gazette says :
Prince Tcherkasoi has imprisoned eight ecelesiastes of
the United Greek rite in the diocese of Cholm, who will be
brought before a council of war. Their crime consists
in having protested against the violence which has
been exercised towards the United Greek Church. Au
equal number of priests of the same diocese have been con-
veyed by order of the director of police into the interior
of Russia because they passively resisted tho order to re-
place the united Greek liturgy by that of the Russian
schism."

ORIENTAL GAS COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held at noon, at the London Tavern ; Hr. W. T. Fawcerr
in the chair.
The report said that during the half-year 195 public
lights had been erected, and 1103 burners had been added
to the private lights, thereby raising the totals to 1,458
and 9,2ta respectively. About four miles of additional I
main pipes had been laid since the last report, and the
manager writes :—" This quantity would have been much
greater but for the early commencement of the rains.
I am working on throughout the season, and an
in great hopes I shall be able to complete the i
laying of mains and erection of the first contract
for lamps before the end of the cold season." a
The general revenue account shows a balance available for
dividend of 6,5951. 15s. 10d. ; out of which the directors
recommend a dividend for the six months ending 30th et
Jane hat, at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum on the paid- lo
up capital of the company, payable, free of income tax, on
the 12th day of Deoember next. St.
St.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, Bs.
said it was the most favourableone ever presented, showing, gt.
as it did, that the prospects of the company were im- se.
pros 'ng. The increase of public lights last year was very at.
large, viz., 548, while the increase of private lights
was over 2,000. Contracts had been taken for one St..,
of the Calcutta gaols, and for the town-haU. An order "g;.•
bad been received to fit up the town-hall, at an expense of st.
14,000 rupees, with 1,500 lights. The lighting np of s St.
large establishment like that was an excellent advertise-
St. St.
ment. He had no doubt that the use of gas would gra-
dually become general both in public and private r.
buildings. They had already 70 miles of mains 4:
laid down in Calcutu. The chief expense under that head gt
had now been incurred, and when new customers were at,
obtained ell they had to do, generally speaking, was to St.
tap the main pipe. There was now store *zoom- at.
modation for three days ; and 680,000 cubic feet of Si.
gas could be supplied without d'fficulty. In consequence
of the rapid Increase of business a committee of 10
three gentlemen had been formed at Calcutta, wo
and were ably representing the company. In con- IWO
elusion, he congratulated the meeting on the setting 10
aside of 1,0001. out of the profits of the year as the hula of 5!,,-
a reserve fund, and that a balance of 1,0001. was also
carried over to the wear and tear account
After some discussion the report was adopted, and a divi. as,
dead of 8 per cent. per annum declared, and the proceed- fit.

IT seems to he the present fashion to throw the
whole blame for any disturbance in the money
market op the ;oint-stock banks. The ansertion is
constantly put forward that every crisis proceeds
from over-trading, and that over-trading is the
direct con: c. -0 of the action of these specu-
lative instituthals. Perhaps some day we shall
get a little farther, and learn that a joint-stock
bank is an establishment constituted for the ex-
press purpose of wasting the money of its share-
holders and depositors among a whole mass of in-
solvent traders. It is evident that the old pre-
judice against the introduction of the new system
in bunking has by no means died out. Again, it

is exceedingly convenient to have a certain class
of the community ready at hand to hear all the
obloquy ;or the losses caused by convulsions like
that which has recently occurred. Just now joint-
stock enterprise is at a discount, and what,
therefore, can be more natural than to attack the
joint-stock bankß ? One thing may be said, that
at all event., process can do no harm, whatever':
might have been the case some months ago. But
that is not a f.tir way of looking upon the ques-
tion. Criticism is One thing, wholesale denuncia-
tion another. There is nothing so easy as to pass
a vague niul conlemnatory opinion which points
to nobody, and consequently is of no profitable
purpose in the world. We have had many ex-
amples of this sort in late years, and to admit that
they are now never cared for is no excuse for the

If we attempted to dispute that in some impor-
tant principles the management of joint-stock banks
is faulty, it would amount to a denial of what has
frequently appeared in these columns. The prac-
tice of :Chia ing interest on deposits, except at
lengthened 1..0d fixed periods, is radically bad ; the
plan of lending out large portions of the cash reserves '
at call still more so. These are two important
defects which ought to be, but we fear will not be,
corrected. Even in the latter respect the sharp lesson
taught last Mny is already beginning to bo forgotten.
As regards the other there seem to be great diffi-
culties in ee`f..eting an alteration. The managers
of the joint-stud,: banks look upon the system of
allowing interest on deposits as a peculiar feature
in their busine.:s (as it certainly is), a novelty
which constituted a marked distinction from the
old-fashioncd practice of the private bankers.
There is a greet deal to be said in favour of this
innovation. It has certainly served to utilise an
enormous amount of capital which otherwise would

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 17.
(Before the Muter of the Rolls.)
Ls RE THE COFFEE, COCOA, COTTON, AND GENERAL PRODUCE
AND FREEHOLD ESTATES COMPANY OF VENEZUELA
(LIMITED.)
In this matter a petition was presented to this branch
of the court to wind up this company ; and another with
a similar prayer to that of the Vice-Chancellor Kindersley.
The latter was part heard yesterday, and this morning his
lordship ordered the petition before him to be transferred.
Mr. Southgate, Q.C., Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Brooks-
bank, appeared in this matter.
RE THE GE-ERAL TRADING COMPANY (LIMITED).
In this matter a petition to wind up this company was
ordered to be transferred from this branch of the court to
that of the Vice-Chancellor Stuart, by oonsent of the
parties.
Mr. Baggallay, Q.C. , Mr. Brooksbank, and Mr. Alexander
appeared on the petition.
IN RE BERSHAM PAPER COMPANY (LIMITED).
In this matter Lord Romilly made a winding-up order.
Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Locock Webb appeared in
the matter.
RE THE JOINT STOCK DISCOUNT COMPANY (LIMITED).
In this case an application was now made on behalf of
six shareholders for an order to be at liberty, with an
accountant, to inspect the books and papers of the com-
pany. His lordship's chief clerk bad granted an order for
intpection ; but referred the matter into court as to the
accountant.
Mr. Southgate, Q.C., and Mr. Swanton appeared in
support of the application ; Mr. Jesse', Q.C., and Mr.
Roxburgh, for the liquidators, did not oppose an order for
inspection ; but suggested the serious inconvenience that
would arise if every shareholder, or section of shareholders,
was to be allowed a similar privilege of employing an
accountant ; and that the winding up would be impeded.
Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., for the creditors' representative, sup-
ported the view of the liquidators.
His Lordship made an order for liberty to inspect the
books by an accountant on behalf of the shareholders ;
reasonable notice being given to the liquidators as to the
books required, and the time of their inspection.

REM ARKS.

Fresh northwest winds have succeeded the vtormy weather
which has prevailed at Intervals during the lost few days allover
the British islet 0:i the northern coasts mom snow has
and the temperature Ls low. Barometers are now rising. hut
the alternation of pressure and temperature have been sodden
and e.monderable. lurtber unsettled weather may therefore be
expected shortly.

It is related of the late Dom Miguel that, after
his resignation of the crown, he went to Rome, where he
exhibited feats of strength and endurance in the Cam-
papa, and often performed, to the amazement of a circle
of friends in his box at the Opera, the trick of bending a
copper baioeco between his thumb and finger. In 1!451,
just as his age bordered on 50, he contracted marriage
with a young lady of 20, the Princess Adelaide of Lowen-
stein-Wertheim-llochefort and Rosenberg, and became the
father of six daughters, and one son. This once renowned
prince, whom the world seems to have so utterly forgotten,
continued, however, to rouse something like a grim inte-
rest among the simple population of that Main region
by the care be took to have his children born and chris-
, tend on " Portuguese ground," strewing the floor under
the nuptial bed and cradle which first received them, and
the pavement under the font at the chapel, with earth
conveyed from Portugal, the same handful of mould being
regularly produced and carefully treasured up on each suc-
cessive occasion.

THE LAST VESTIOE OP TIEMRH POSTER TO RE
EPT FROM THE EARTH.—ISMANAPOLIFL SIONDAT, Nov.
s.—At the Fenian mass meeting lust night, resolutions
were adopted declaring that the Fenians of America de-
fiantly assert the conviction of Col. Lynch and Rev. Mr.
Dl'llaben will be made the bugle-note which will lead our
army of Irishmen; that will drive the last vestige of
British power from the American continent ; and if further
convictions and sentence of Fccians now held by Canadian
authorities be continued, we pledge our lives, liberties,
and sacred honour to avenge them, not alone upon the
valiant Queen's Own, nut to die or see the last vestige of
tyrannous English power swept hole the earth.—New York

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.--(THIS DAY.)

The quantityof English wheal on sale here this morn-
ing was limited. Notwithstanding the changeable state
of the weather, millers purchased slowly, at pima about
equal to Monday. We were well supplied with foreign
wheat, for whi.l the inquiry was in • sluggish state, on
former terms. _ . .

Floating cargoes of grain riled about stationary. I ji
There was rather more inquiry for barley, and the quo- gi
Cations were well supported. 81
Malt changed hands slowly. Full prices were, however, ti
realised for all descriptions.
Rather large quantities of oats found buyers at quite :
last week's currency. 11
Beans were scarce, and in moderate request, at late es

rates.
The few peas on the stands met a Blow sale, yet the
quotations were supported.
Both English and foreign flour was vary inactive.
Linseed and rapeseed were firm. In other seeds very
little was doing. Cakes were heavy.

TIM HEALTH OF THE EARL OF HAFTERBFRY.
The Tim's, referring to a rather alarming paragraph re-
specting Lord Shaftesbury, says:—" We have much plea-
sure in being able to contradict it. Lord Shaftesbury has,
indeed, suffered from a sharp attack of a choleraic cha-
racter, but is going on as well as possible."

THE CHOLERA.

Captain VIITLiN called attention to an application
reported that morning which bad been made by Mr. Willes,
the health offloer of St. Botolph's, to Mr. Paget for an
order to destroy certain clothing and bedding in a room
where there had been three virulent cares of cholera, two
of which had proved fatal ; and asked the Home Secretary
whether he could issue an order is aid of the magistrate
who bad stated that he was powerless to enforce the direc-
tions of the Privy Council.
Mr. WALPOLE said that if he could do so he would ; but
he was afraid that he could not interfere in the matter. A
bill would, however, shortly come before the house which
would give the authorities much greater powers than they
now possessed.
London, England, 1866-08-03

THE METRICAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND
MEASURE 3.

Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether he was aware there was a bill before the
Congress of the United St: tes of America to adopt the
metrical system 0: weights and measures ; and, seeing that
the metrical ',idea was in use in France, Belgium, Hol-
land, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Italy, and that
Russia bad intimated her intention ciao to adopt it if Eng-
land adopted it, whether, with the view to facilitate the
growing intercourse between the nations of the world, the
noble lord would take the opportunity of returning peace
in Europe to invite a congress of nations to consider the
practicability of adopting an international system of
moneys, weights, and measures.
Lord STANLEY said he understood there was a bill of
the kind referred to before Congress, but whether it had
been passe) or rejected, or was still in suspense, he did
not know. With regard to the second part of the gum-
tion, he (Lord Stanley) had long been ui favour of the
adoption of the metrical system, which he believed to be
thslaest and moat convenient; but he could not be blind
to the fact that immense difficulty existed in the way of
introducing such a system into a country like this. He
thought it would be very long before the hon. gentleman
would find that system accepted in England. It was ob-
vious until we were prepared to adopt such a system our-
selves, that it would be utterly useless to call a congress
with a view to press upon other countries the adoption of
this system.

THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS.

Mr. MILL presented the petition adopted at the meeting
in the Agricultural-hall, complaining of the exclusion of
the public from Hyde-park on Monday week, and praying
the house to institute an Inquiry into the conduct of the
Chief Commissioner of Police, and of the police generally.
Colonel 8. KNOX begged to ask the hon. gentleman
whether a letter which appeared in that mornings paper
from Mr. Beale' was genuine ; and if so, whether he Gould
inform the house who the " public leaden" mentioned in
it were.

Mr. hIILL—I am not in the least degree authorised to
make any communication t) the house on behalf of the
Reform League, of which I am not even a member ; and I
beg to refer the hon. gentleman to those who are members,
and particularly to Mr. Beales himself. (Cheers and
laughter.)

ment itself did so, he would next :session ask leave to

THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the mission of Mr. Remain to the
Emperor of Abyrtinia had not at present only resulted in
the detention of himself and two other gentlemen who
accompanied him, Lieutenant Prideaux, of the Indian
army, and Dr. Blanc, without obtaining the final liberation
of the other prisoners. And whether in dealing with the
ease of Mr. Flail, who had been allowed to come over under
hostage to return, endeavours would be made to offer some
adequate inducement to the Emperor Theodore, which
should take effect only when the prisoners should be de-
livered into safe custody at Massowah or elsewhere.
Lord STANLEY said it was unfortunately true that Mr.
Bassam and the other two gentlemen named in the Rues-
tion just put were still detained by the King of Abvsnnia.
By the latest accounts he understood that the 7 were not
kept in confinement, although they were detained in the
country and not allowed to leave it. The other day the
hon. member had put a question which was not now upon
the paper, relative to the alleged illtreatment of the
prisoners. On this subject, he (Lord Stanley) might say
that according to the latest accounts that bad been received
the government had no knowledgeof implode acts; it would
rather appar that so far es was compatible with their de-
tention the prisoners had personally been well treated.
Mr. Flail had come over to this country, having his
family behind. He (Lord Stanley) bad seen Mr. Fled and
another gentleman who was well acquainted with the
country, and they had endeavoured to arrenge for semis
such inducement as the ben. patina= referred to, te be
offered to the Kingof Abyssinia to procure the final release
of the prisoners. Kr. Flad would return as 800 Q as the
darts allowed, but se the rainy meow was about to net

THE REFORMATORY SCHOOLS BILL

On the order for the third r.zding of this
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
was an understanding that the Habeas Corpus Bill should
commence the business of this evening, but he regretted
that owing to the very great pressure of business the
government had not been able to fulfil that engagement.
The hon. member for Cork had, in the most obliging
manner, allowed them to go on with the Pubho Health
Bill, under the impression that it would not take up much
time, but now that that bill was disposed of
he would move, if the hon. gentleman wished it, that the
orders 2,3, and 4 be postponed until a later hour in the
evening. At the same time he would remind the hon.
gentleman that it would be very convenient to advance
those bills a stage at once. (Cries of " Bear, hear," and
" Go on" and amongst the voices was that of Mr. Maguire.)
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL

The amendments to this b'll were considered and aimed
to, and the bill was afterwards read a third time and
pulsed.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND BILL

The house went into committee on this bill.
The various clauses were agreed to, and the bin se
amended reported to the house.
