CRICKET.—The anniversary dinner of the Ken-
Wait= Club took place in the pavilion at the Oval, on
Tuesday last. The chair was taken by the president of
the club, Mr. H. Burbridge, and the vioe-chair by Mr.
G. F. Davies. The company numbered nearly 50. After
the cloth was drawn, a neatly printed embossed programme
of toasts, Sc.. was circulated. They were as follows :
"The Queen," "Army, Navy,' &c., "Kennington
Cricket Club," " The President," " Vice-President and
committee," "The Hon. Secretary," "The Treasurer,"
" The Surrey Club," " The Press, " The Visitors," and
" The Host." all of which were warmly responded to.
Many songs were admirably sung. The chairman pre-
, vented the prizes as follows : —A bait to Mr. F. Caviar (the
gift of Mr. LoveU), for the highest average (-13); a hat to
Mr. Gregory, who had scored the largest number of runs
(over 2,000) during the past season; T. M. Chapman, a
bat (the gift of Mr. E. J. Page), for the most runs in
three innings; and the club presented a bat to Mr. Jones,
for the most runs (over :i0) in one innings ; a ball each to
Messrs. Absalom. Wilde, and Speed, for their excellent
bowling. Mr. Vokiugs, the secretary, stated that the
Kennington hat played 12 matches ; won eight, lost two,
and two were drawn ; that tho club bad now upwards of
50 members, whose subscriptions were all paid, a good
balance in hand, and plenty of candidates waiting for
admission.

THI FOOD RIOTq.

To the Times it appears scarcely probable that the
Exeter riots could have been connected exclusively
with the price of food, which is materially cheaper in De-
vonshire than elsewhere. The occasion is rendered more
than usually remarkable by the protest against the charges,
not only of bakers, but of butchers. Tbis is the first time
that butchers' meat has ever been regarled as an article of
such prime necessity, and the fact would appear to express
a far greater diffusion of prosperity and comfort than we
have been wont to suppose. Nor are we told that work
ha■ been slack, or that any considerable portion of the
population is out of employment. The people of Devon-
shire ought to know full well that, whatever may be the
price of the loaf in these times, it must need, be in the

CREI>ITON.

Yesterday morning it was extensively rumoured at Cre-
diton that the roughs of the town would during the even-
ing follow the example of their Exeter brethren, and
attack the bakers' houses, but up to ten o'clock last even-
ing all passed off quietly. At that boor, however. a
number of ferocious fellows made a sudden attack on Mr.
Cleave. shop, battering in his window shutters. They
then proceeded to moat of the other bakers in the East
Town and served them in a similar meaner, and as most
of the police had been draughted off to Exeter, they pur-
sued their work of devastation unchecked. But ere they
reached the West Town the l'ortreeve and his amps of
officers were ready to receive them, and the mob, thinking
disc the better pert of valour, for the present ceased
their attacks. A number of roughs in masks are still lentil-
nighti letting off fireworks. The mob was harangued by a
notorious demagogue.

ITALY.

Though the King of Italy continues to drink the cup of
humiliation to the dregs, and with the faintest show of
reluctance, the Daily Noe. thinks nevertheless that if it
is not the dream of Louis Napoleon that he can best atone
for the sacrifice of the Archduke Maximilian by making
Victor Emmanuel feel all the ignominy of dependence, be
will loss no time in withdrawing at least from Rome, and
giving Europe some trustworthy assurance that Civita
Vecchia i. not a French garrison town and seaport.
The question is not *coked by the dispersion
of Garibaldi's bands, and it is yet to be seen
that in destroying the great work of his reign
Louis Napolean is not as false to the interests of his dy-
nasty as to his principles and his prosniPeo, and to the
peace and tranquillity of Europe. Certain it is that the
difficulties and dangers of such a course of policy are but
the logical results of irresponsible power. The present
crisis is but a little cloud, "no bigger than a man's band."
But it is a cloud that may gather and spread into a tem-
pest, in which more than one dynasty may go down.

TOMQUAT.

There having been a wide-spread apprehension during
yesterday that the evil-disposed might avail themselves of
the license observed during the noisy demonstration of
the sth of November to make an attack upon the provision
shops, Mr. E. Vivian and the Rev. T. A. Smile, magis-
trates, attended at the Town-hall to swear in special con-
stables. Up to seven o'clock AO tradesmen and others had
been sworn in. Many of the shops were closed soon after
six o'clock, and as early as that hour knots of labourers
and other working men were assembled at the street
corners. Some parties of boys alai obtained tar barrels,
and igniting them trundled them through the streets. Up
to eight o'clock the mob had greatly increased, and it
soon became evident that mischief was intended. About
ten o'clock attacks were made on souse of the shops in the
town, and the menaces of the crowd assumed a serious
aspect. The shop of Mr. Skinner was selected for the
first demonstration, and it was utterly sacked, the con-
tents being thrown into the street. The Riot Act was
then read, and the special constables proceeded vigoroudy
and judiciously to work to suppress the disturbance. Up
to thin hour (midnight) they had been so far successful
that no outrages of a more serious character were com-
mitted.

NEWTON.

About half-past eleven o'clock last night a Lumber of
roughs who during the early part of the evening amised
themselves with burning tar barrels and letting off fire-
works commenced breaking the glass and abutters of
Messrs. quick, Thomas, Riedon, and Way, bakers. At mid-
night the mob assembled outside Mr. Itii;don's shop, when
two men with iron bars broke open the shop, and, having
entered it, began to throw the bread amongst the crowd
outside. About sixty special constables were at once
sworn in, and at one o'clock the crowd began to disperse.
Mr. W. J. Watts, resident magistrate, accompanied by
the magistrates' clerk, made their way amongst the crowd
and entreated them to desist from violence. This advice
seemed to have a favourable impression among the rioters.
Rad they persisted in committing fu-ther damage, Mr.
Watts would have at once read the Riot Act. By two
o'clock this morning the mob had for the most pert dis-
persed.

TEIGNIIOI"TH.

The respectable inhabitants of the pretty little town of
Teignmouth have been recently somewhat alarmed at the
noisy demonstrations of the mob, whore ire has been
raised there, as well as at other towns, by the contrast be-
tween the low buying and high selling prices of meat and
breed. This, however, should in the latter place apply
more to the millers than to the bakers ; but in Teignmouth
the bakers have raised the must, if not the whole, of the re-
sentment manifested. Ou Friday there was a disturbance in
the town, which led the authorities to fear that advantage
would be taken of Guy Fawkes night for its repetition.
Having this anticipation, twelve police constables--a large
number for Teignmouth—were stationed in the town, and
several special constables were sworn in. About eight
o'clock the mob began to congregate, and in • short time
followed a company dressed in grotesque costumes and
masks, one of whom c.uvred a blazing tar barrel on his head,
in a march round the town. When one barrel was
burnt down it was thrown on the ground and a
new one substituted, and soon it was accompanied
by an effigy of • man, which was intended, the
public were informed by • placard, to represent
Mr. Arscott, baker. The crowd, who now numbered
some five hundred strong, proceeded through the town
and along the Den, halting at several houses in the
Crescent and other terraces, demanding ingress. They
accompanied their march with shouts (intended to be
songs) of " Drop the bread." On arriving at the house of
the uhnoxius Mr, Amon, in the Strand, the roughs threw
sticks and stones at the upper storey windows, breaking
• quantity of glass, but could not hurt the shop,
Mr. Arscott, in common with al the other trades-
men in the town, having put up his shutters at
an early hour. Another effigy was produced as the repre-
sentative of Mr. Middleton, baker, and was, like Mr.
Arecott'a, carried several times round the town. Both
effigies were then taken to Bank-street and there
publicly burnt. The mob here seemed to be getting
more reckless as to the safety of the general public,
for, though hitherto only " squibs" had been
thrown among the bystanders, now pieces of burn-
ing timber were carelessly thrown about, and burning
barrels were rolled rapidly along the street, driving crowds
of spectators before them. The mob remained around the
bonfire, and seemed very salamander from the ease with
which they bore the beat of the blazing tar barrels. When
there were spent and the last squib thrown away, the
mob—which, by the way, was composed principally of
young men and boys—loitered about and seemed uncertain
what to do neat. Thcy managed to occupy • short time in
breaking • window of Mr. Baker's, baker. Some of the
mob were not very kindly affectioned towards the re-
porters from Plymouth, and • fall was the result ; but

Sevtrrl papers assert that despatches have been
received here from the Spanish Minister at
Florence, announcing that the Italian squadron
had received orders to fire into any Spanish vessel
anch.,red at Civita Vecchia which, on any pretext
whatever, should attempt to land troops.
This news, it is stated. greatly excited the indig-
nation of Queen Isabella, who expressed a wish
that the Spanish Minister in the Italian capital
should immediately demand his passports. Nothing,
however, has yet been decided, and the rumour
itself is in no way authenticated.

. . _ .

This was the sixth day of the heating of this ease.
Mr. EdwardJames,Q.C., Mr. Field, Q.C., Mr. Matthews,
and Mr. Cleave appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge,
Q.C., Mr. Giffard, Q.C. and Mr. H. Jame' for the de-
fendant ; and Mr. Archibald watched the case on behalf of
the trustees under the will.

Witnesses were again called for the defendant, and a
great deal of discussion took place between the bench and
the bar as to the rejection of some evidence on a former
day, and in the end his lordship adhered to a decision ar-
rived at on the first day of the trial, that Mrs. Hemp
should not be allowed to give evidence as to her course of
life whilst she was living separate from her husband be-
tween lssB and 1863.

Mrs. Elizabeth Williams was called to explain that Mr.
John flamp, during August, 1861, stayed for a fortnight
at Oswestry in the house of her husband, who was a con-
nection by marriage of Mr. Hamp. The object of this
evidenoe was to account for Mr. John Hemp during tho
time that he was known to have been away from Ross in
August ; and also to show that during this time he could
not have been in Birmingham, as had been stated by wit-
neses for the plaintiff.
. . . .

A Dumber of witnesses were also examine,' to show that
Mr. Hemp wu at Ross or elsewhere than Birmingham and
Shirley on particular days between the let March and the
30th June, 1861. The object of the whole of the evidence
given under tide head was to show that Mr. John Hemp
could ~ot have had access to his wife during those months
and therefore could not be the father of the plaintiff,
who was born on the 17th January, 11462.

The Paris-Lyons Mediterranesa line have lost
their suit in the case of Madame Griesvilliers. This lady,
a widow at the time, was travelling by the night train
along this line, when, as the train approached Joigny, a
piece of burning coal flew into the compartment in which
she w.is alone, and set fire to it. With great presence of
mind Madame contrived to open the door of the carriage
and atind on the step, hoping to be able to remain there
till the next station was retched. However, the progress
of the dames was so rapid that she was compelled to throw
herself off the step, and in the fall she broke her ann .and
dislocated her shoulder and wrist, yet in this state she
contrived, with the help of a railway en+f✓nv( who hap_
pened to be on the line, to walk as far as Joigny, a dis-
tance of three miles. The lady has since married a gene-
ral officer, and sued the company for 32,000 fr. as co:open.

has sentenced the company to pay Madame 20,000 fr.
(4001.), besides the fees due to the physicians who attended
her, and the cost of the trial.

A singular accident occurred three days back in
the theatre of Perpignan (Pyren6es-Orieutales) during the
representation of the Cosoriers de la Scisr. At the end of
the first act, when a number of the performers had entered
a haat and arc supposed to be about to start for liougival,
the men in the slips, who were to haul them across the
stage, jerked the rope so violently, that the actors and
actresses were thrown down in a heap, and one of the
latter, 31.111 e. Leontine, had her arm broken in the fall.

A Melbourne letter says :—" Our Christmas is
the usual Australian one, with its sunshine, its pic-nics
races, cricket, and boating out of noon, and its panto:
mimes and oratorios within. Tho New South Widen are
victorious this year, both in rifle shooting and in cricket
(in the latter in one ienings) over the Victorians. In
cricket we have bad a great novelty this week. An old
Etonian, and one of the best bats in the colony, has been
carefully drilling an aboriginal eleven, of whose quickness
of eye and band he had great hopes against our own
countrymen. Something more, however, than quickne.s
of eye and hand is necessary even for cricket. The black
men, although playing well in spurts, were nervous amid
a large concourse of people, and were impatient, confused,
and unsteady under disaster ; and they were beaten, poor
fellows, but by no means disgracefully."

THE CHESTER "FIMIA2JB."

The Times fully believes that Chester has escaped from
serious calamity, and that a deliberate conspiracy of the
Fenian. had been concocted against it. If it had not been
for the inevitable traitor, there is too much reason to fear
they would have had at least • partial success. The
yeomanry and Lord Grosvenor acted with commendable
promptitude. It is surprising that the Fenian' did not
make some decided attack in the course of the day ; and
that they did not do so is probably to be ascribed solely
to the bold front assumed by the citizens. If any fault is
to be tumid with the government it is for not having acted
more promptly. It is not probable that any similar
attempt will be soon repeated, but it will obviously be
desirable that an additional nimber of troops should be 11
maintained for some time in the neighbourhood of Liver-

The story is to the Dail* Noes absurd on the face of it.
"Chester is saved" telegraphs that distinguished yeo-
manly captain, Earl Grosvenor, to Lord Flaw, an equally
distinguished volunteer, but it is saved, as far as appears,
very much as all our towns and cities are saved every day
in the year. Truly we have in Mr. Walpole an "ancient
and most quiet watchman," who deserves something better
than to be kept out of bed all night waiting for telegrams
from a fidgety mayor. The despatch of the Guards to
check a supposed Fenian movement has already been tele-
graphed by the Atlantic cable to the country front which
the Fenian organisation is supplied with funds, and will

RAILWAY DEBIDITURES.

Mr. WATKIN, in rising to move for leave to bring in a
bill for affording better security to the holders of railway
debentures, said be should not en this occasion trouble the
house at auy length, as he had submitted an outline of the
proposed bill to the President of the Board of Trade, who
had intimated he should make no objection to it. intro-
duction. He brought in the bill in the interests of 80,000
persons, who were holders of 100,0110,0001. invested in rail-
way debentures. His object was to remove, by legislation,
certain difficulties that had arisen, and that machinery
might be provided by which, under certain circtuustances,
debenture holders might take part in the managenientof their
own affairs.

Lave was then given to bring in the hi!l.
WORKMEN'S ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr. NEATE moved for leave to bring in a bill to exempt
during a limited time associations of workmen which are
in respect of any part of their constitution entitled to
the benefits of the act 1$ and 19 Viet., c. ta, from for-
feiture of those benefits by reason of their being in other
parts of their constitution afhiptefl to the purposes of •
trade union. lie stated that up to the year 1 associations
having for their object the keeping up of the rate of wages
were illegal. At that time the law was altered, and under
the Friendly Societies Act special facilities were given,
by which associations of workmen were enabled to obtain
the benefit of that act. From that time until within the
last month trade associations had continued to enjoy the
benefit of that law, but it was decided the other day in
the queen's Bench that in • case where • treasurer of
a trades union society Lad refused to hand over the funds
entrusted to him no warrant could be issued against him,
on the ground that the society being of a trades union
character had forfeited the benefit of the act. He (Mr.
Neste) did not question the correctness of that decision,
but, presuming the law to be as it hail been laid clown,
serious inconvenience must hereafter arise, contrary to the
intentions of those who had framed the acts. He thought,
therefore, that, pending the full inquiry that would
shortly take place into the whole subject, it would be ad-
visable to give an indemnity to such associations as would
otherwise be liable to the forfeiture of the benefits con-
ferred by the Friendly Societies Act.
Mr. WALPOLE said be had no objection to offer to the
introduction of the bill, but he should carefully examine
its provisions before pronouncing any opinion upon the
proposed measure.
Leave was then given to intrados* the bilL
METROPOLITAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Mr. AYRTON moved the appointment of a select com-
mittee to inquire into the local government and local
taxation of the metropolis.
The motion was agreed to.
THE DUTIES ON SUGAR.

Mr. W. HUNT gave notice that on Thursday next be
would move that the house resolve itself into committee to
take into consideration the duties on sugar.
The house adjourned at half-past six o'clock.

CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION.

Mr. NEWDEGATE niove.l for leave to bring in a hill
for the commutation of church rates. He observed that
he brought the subject forward last session, but in defer-
ence to the opinions expressed by some hon. members he
withdrew the measure which he then proposed.
Mr. HADFIELD wished for some explanation of the
bill. If he recollected right, the hon. member's scheme
was to impose a rate of 2d. in the pound on all real estates
for Via benefit of the church, or something equal to
$00,001.1. or 200.000 f. They had had several debates on—
he presumed—the same measure, and some of his own
party had declared against it ; consequently there was not
the slightest chance of its passing. The friends of the
church would be very wise to let drop a question of this
kind. which had been thirty years before the country.
The hon. member concluded by moving the previous
Mr. CANDLIAH seconded the amendment.

Mr. NEWDECATE said the hon. member bad spoken
with respect to a bill which was not in his hands, and had
made the uicet extraordinary statement with regard to the
hill of last SiSelol2 which it was possible to conceive. In
saving that the latter imposed a charge of between
ftik),oool. and takdkitg.. Ito could not have read the bill,
because It did no such thing: He hoped the house would,
in accord dice a ith the usual practice, allow him to lay
the bill on the table. (Hear, hear.)
. .

Sir 0. GREY said it was a'ruattei of ordinary courtesy to
allow • tu.iliGa to introduce • hill, and he trusted the
hon. member fur :•vhettielil would not oppose that course on
the present occasion.
Mr. lIADFIELD then withdrew his amendment, and
leave was giver. obring in the bill.
ABOLITION OF TESTS AT OXFORD.

Mr. COLERIDGE moved that the house go into com-
mittee of the whole house for the purpose of enabling
him to move a resolution to the following effect :—" That
the chairman be directed to move the house that leave be
given to bring in a bill to provide for the abolition of
religious tests in connection with academical degrees and
offices in the University of Oxford." He explained that
as the bill was exiietly the same as the one he brought
forward last year, and as he learnt the hon. member for
Oxford and others interested in the measure would not
optvise its introduction. he would not trouble the house
with any remarks with respect to it on the present
occasion.
Mr. FAWCETT thought the house would remember that
last session theright hon. gentleman the member for Caine,
in oteof the most completely liberal speeches he ever made
in the house on the universities, strongly advised that so
far as possible some of these bills should be united, and

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raox OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The imminence of the Emperor's speech either
silences political speculation or renders the little
that is ventured upon of small interest. All is now
expectation. I cannot, however, help noticing an
extremely absurd argument volunteered by La
France for the purpose of showing that the anxiety
with which the imperial discourse is awaited is a
most flattering homage to France and the sovereign
who directs her destinies. No doubt (the F'runee
is good enough to admit) England, Italy, and
Prussia are great nations ; but still the Euro-
pean public dues not care so much to know
what their sovereigns say as it does to learn
the " grand exceptional word " of Napoleon TH.
This bragging is must ill-timed; because, without
any disparagement to the greatness of France,
everybody knows that the peculiar interest attach-
ing to the Emperor's speech lies in the fact that
his government is a personal one with no settled
policy ; that ho loves to deal in surprises, sends
irresponsible servants to the rightabout unexpec-
tedly, and that nobody knows from any reliable
data what he is likely to say.

Negotiations pending between M. Gregory Ga-
nesco and M. James Foxy, the Swiss statesman,
for the sale of the Jure riud de I'm gehrt, having
been broken off, that paper is now offered for sale
by public auction.
" A certain number of deputies," says the.lon nut 1
dm Ham, " are said to intend proposing to the
government to buy up all the railways, as it has a
right to do according to the various cahiees de charge.
To that party belong several speakers who have
been for some years remarked for their attacks
against the administration of the companies. The
government besides appears disposed to accept the
discussion and to fix the attention of public opi-
nion on this question, which has long attracted its
attention."

The quartermaster gunner who fell into the soup
boiler of the Solferino atToulon has since succumbed
to the injury which he received.
M. Della Seale has been named professor of
singing at the Paris Conservatoire, in place of M.
Paulin &pinion, deceased.
The Bourse was affected at the opening by the
fall of / in Consols, and Route went down to
69fr. 65c. ; but it recovered for the close to
G9fr. 80c. for cash, and 69fr. 75c. for account, with

THAMES.

JO*tea RON, aged 18, and described as a labourer, of
No. 6, William-street, Limehouve-fields, was brought up
on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with setting fire to
the letters in a post-office pillar box in Higlxstreet, Step-
ney, opposite the old church.
Mr. X B. Osborn, solicitor on behalf of the post-office
authorities. conducted the prooeention.
On Friday evening last the letters in the pillar box were
discovered to he on fire, and smoke was issuing through
the slit at the top of the box. A police constable obtained
some water, poured it into the box, and extinguished the
fire. The people at the district post•office in the Com-
mercial-road were communicated with immediately, the
box was opened, and among 36 letters which it contained,
one was wholly destroyed, seven partially consumed,
and the rest damaged by fire and water. The prisoner
was arrested on Saturday afternoon as the person sup.
poised to be guilty of this wanton and malicious act. A
vod deal of evidence was brought to bear against him,
but it was not conclusive, and he was discharged.

Last evening Dr. Lankester held an inquest at
the University College Hospital relative to the death of
William Rdwards, 56 years of age, who died in the above-
mentioned institution after amputation of the left arm and
leg, consequent on injuries received at the WillesdenJunc-
tion St►tion of the North-Western Railway. While the
panel was being sworn, Mr. Chas. Valogne, a Frenchman,
refused to take the oath, on the ground that he was an
atheist, and did not believe the Bible, and as he further de-
clined to say that he would sot conscientiously as a juror
he was dismissed from the court.

We learn from the Leeds iferrunj that the cattle
plague has reappeared in the neighbourhood of H.l Wax,
upon the farm of Mr. Sutcliffe, of Worley, who was a
movers sufferer by the disease lad year.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED
RACE.

PUTNEY, TH u .
The tempestuous state of the weather this morn-
ing rendered rowing a very difficult process. Nevertheless
the training men were not to be disappointed. It had
been announced that the Oxonians would row against a
picked crew of London watermen, and severe as the
weather was there were many persons at Putney to wit-
ness it.

At half Test 10 the following watermen took their places
in an outrigger:—T. Wise, of Kew; T. Hoare, of Ham-
mersmith . • J. Heath, of Greenwich ; J. W. Tagg, of
Monkey ; G. Cannon, 131ackwaLL ; T. Catlin, Old Swan ;
H. Kelley (champion), Putney; coxswain, J. Phelps, Ful-
ham. They rowed up the river, followed shortly after-
wards by the Oxonians, to the appointed place for the start.
In less than half an hour after that the Cambridge went
up, accompanied by • scratch crew of gentlemen amateurs
from the lender boat house, who were anxious to do by
them as the Oxonians had been done by on the previous
day.
There were three or four very determined and gallant
abort races on the way down from the top of Chiswick
Eyot, and the results were very close but varied, the pro.
fessionals having the great advantage presented by the
heavy gale and rough state of the water. The last start
was from the Soap Works Point down, and the race was
won by Oxford by half a length.
The Cantab. gave the other crew • length start just
below Hammersmith-bridge, and beat them pliantly in
three-quarters of • mile by half a length. Oxford, in their
race, did 40 ; Cambridge, in theirs, 42.

TITULAR Lgrrgim.—lt is with great regret that
wr have noticed an increasing dislike on the part
of some of our most eminent scientific workers and
writer, to the use of titular letters after their names. A
few years since, our first chemists, physicists, and
naturalists, were proud of adding F.C.S., F. 0.8., F.LS.,
and other honourable titles, to the rest of their distinc-
tions, but at the present day many of them are simply
content with using the letters indicative of their having
wen the blue riband of science—the Fellowship of the
Royal Society. There have lately sprung up a number of
pseudo-learned societies, the members of which style
themselves Fellows in imitation of their distinguished
PD4Otyliv4, the consequence being that every petty
Wail-ban pedagogue and institution-lecturer tacks
tO his name such utterly valueless letters as
F.M.S., and a host of others. Of
course the British public do not know that these
lobes admit into their ranks any respectable person who
can draw a cheque for his admission fees, without paying
my regard to his acquirements, literary, scientific, or other-
Yl4v. We also continually see writers and lecturers attach-
ing to their name, such letters as M.R.I. (Member of the
koyal Institution), M.S.A. (Member of the Society of
Art). M.B.A. (Member of the British Association), and so
on. of course we bare not one word to say against any of
thee a.,cio.tio4, beyond blaming them for allowing their
tnernbers to use letters that are likely to lead the outside
!torrid to suppree that their owners are persons of great
",n4. It is, undoubtedly, a very proper and praise-
worthy thing to belo to thes societies, Just as it is to
hecoe a solsteriber tong Mudie'se Library, and a writer or

TO THI EDITOR OP' THE. ZIPRZSO.

Buy—Yesterday's edition of your paper gives a
list of the so-celled " liberal defaulters" who met at the
House of Commons on Monday last. My name appears
in this list, and it is stated that I was one of the members
who spoke against defection from the recognised policy of
the liberal leaders. I beg to inform you that this is incor-
rect. I did attend that meeting, but I did not speak
against its objects, or in any w►y dissent from them. The
remarks which I made at the meeting were directed
against Mr. Coleridge's proposed instruction to the com
mittee on the Reform Bill, upon the ground that it would
not be right, upon entering upon the consideration in
committee of a measure proposing to deal with the repre-
sentation of the peeple, to give a specific instruction to
the committee to legislate upon matters affecting the
burtbens of the people, this being • subject which in my
opinion should have been first considered and submitted to
the country in the usual ana constitutional manner pre-
scribed by the House of Commons.—l am, tic.,
Athenzenm Club, April 10. L. L. DILLWYN.

After Easter Mr. Rearden will move "that no
bill for the amendment of the representation of the people
of Ireland can be satisfactory which does not contain a
provision fora large increase in the number of its mens-
ben."

Mr. Smollett will ask the Secretary of State for
India to-morrow whether he to willing to put upon the
table of the house all the correspondence that has passed
up to the present time with the several governments in
India relative to the famine in Orissa, and to the alleged
enormous loss of human life from starvation in that pro-
vince in the year Il li ; a subject prominently noticed in
her Majesty's speech to parliament at its opening upon the
sth of February last, but upon which no official informa-
tion whatever has been communicated by government to
the loupe of Commons.

Mr. Colvile intends to move on the nomination
of the select committee on Mines, &a., Assessment Bill,
" That it be an instruction to the committee that they
take into their consideration the expediency of rating
game for the purposes of local taxation."
Mr. H. B. Sheridan has given notice that on
the second reading of National Debt Bill he shall move
" That a further reduction of the duty on are insurances,
to which this house is already pledged, would be a better
mode of disposing of a portion of the surplus of ways and
means for the present year than the creation of termin-
able annuities proposed by the present bill."

On the 3rd of next month Sir J. C. Jervoise pro-
pores to move that an humble address be presented to her
Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously
pleased to cause such inquiry to be instituted as may lead
to the better distinction between contagious diseases and
such as are termed infectious, so as to obviate, as far as
possible, the loss, alarm, and injustice consequent on the
theory of the infectious nature of certain diseases when
unsupported by demonstration.
