THE ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF THE
JEWS AT GALATZ.

PARIS, JOLT 29.

Advices received here from Bucharest state that
the Commission of Inquiry into the deaths of cer-
tain Jews at Galata has positively ascertained that
the Roumanian authorities are in no way to blame
for what has taken place. The two persons sen-
tenced to expulsion by virtue of the Code Napoldon
were sent back to Turkey on accounts of their
statements that they had come from that country.
The commission has further discovered that the
commander of the Turkish barque gave orders that
the prisoners should be thrown into the Danube.
The Roumanian population of Galata rescued
eight of their number. These facts are proved by
the depositions of eve-witnesses and by the testi-
mony of the individuals saved.

THE SULTAN.
VIENNA, JuLT 29, EVENTING.

This morning some military evolutions took place
at which the Sultan was present. Yesterday, on
the reception of the municipality of Vienna by the
Sultan, the burgomaster made a speech in which
he expressed the hope that the close relations ex-
isting between Turkey and Austria would be of

long duration, and that the Austrian subjects in THE ROYAL PARKS RILL.
Turkey might continue to enjoy the protection of i A conference of liberal members of parliament

thanks for the cordial reception which had been the Tea-room of the House of Commons. Mr. J. 8. ltua.
given to himself and his suite, and promised that occupied the chair. The following M.P.O were present
the wishes expressed by the burgomaster respecting Mr. Bright, Professor Fawcett, Viscount Amberley, Mr.
Austrian subjects in Turkey should be realised. Tenons, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Locke, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Ayrton,
Kr. P. A. Taylor, Mr. Clay, Kr. , Sir John Gray,
I Mr. Holden, Mr. White, Mr. • , Mr. Dixon, Mr.
' Whalley, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. fitensfeld, Mr. Cowen, Mr.
Shaw Lefevre, and Mr. Young. Mr. Reales, and several
of the council of the Reform League, attended.
The CHAIRMAN having explained that the object of the
conference was to obtain the views of those within and
outside the House of Commons who took an active part in
opposing the bill,
W. BEAUS asked permission to make • few observe-
VOW He thought they must all agree in the propriety of
Mr. Locke's motion, but supposing it was defeated he
wished to know what course would be pursued by the
opponents of the bill. The Reform League did not want
to have any demonstration unless they were driven to it.
They wished it to be understood that Primrose-hill or Vic-
toria Park would not satisfy the working classes as places
fee open air meetings, and that no plain was so central se
Hyde-perk. He challenged any person to disprove their
rkht to meet there.
Mr. TAYLOR was of opinion that, considering the late-
ness of the session and other circumstances, they were
justified in straining all the forms of the horse to procure
the defeat of the bill. He considered Mr. Locke's amend-
ment satisfactory, and thought there could be no differ-
entia of opinion as to lie being entitled to support.
The Quietus said there wasno doubt they ought to
give Mr. Isis imendteent their support, but su=
it failed, the material question apes, What trap
be taken to frustrate the further progress of the bill.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Bmtuts asked the members present to avail them-
selves of every form of the house, in the event of the
failure of the amendment referred to, to frustrate the bill
and nave the necessity of proceeding out of the house. If
the measure was proceeded with in its present form the
League would have recourse to the strongest proceedings.
Professor FAWCETT said if Mr. Locke's motion was car-
ried their work was done, but if not, union was n
He thought it was absolutely neeetmarr that thee::l272:i
have a certain number of members remain in the house
till the last hour every night to watch the action of the
Erriyrnment in reference to the bill. He should be very
to attend in that way until the end of the session.
r. TORE/ENS considered it undesirable to decide prema-
turely upon • course of action. They were holding a oon-
ference with open doors, and he certainly thought they
were not observing good tactics in letting their opponents
know what they would do. if they succeeded, and he had
every reason to hope they would from what he bad heard
before entering the room, in carrying Mr. Locke's amend-
ment, their labours were at an end ; but if they were dis-
appointed, be thought it would be then time enough to
consider what they should do next. It appeared to him
they should have • discussion suggesting the plain
practical consideration what were the alternatives
to be proposed to the government shutting the
parks. They all knew that Lord Shaftesbury pro-
posed last year that before the government limited
the use of the park to popular purposes, it should take
upon itself to provide places suitable to the fair and con-
stitutional exigencies of the metropolis. He agreed with
Mr. Beales as to the farce of driving thepeople to Victoria-
park or Primrose-hill ; and therefore his motion would be
that the government, before they further proceeded with
the bill, be asked to show their capability of providing
suitable places in the metropolis for open-air meetings.
The practical question was above all to urge upon the go-
vernment the fact that their bill was defective in its con-
struction, because it suggested nothing as an alternativeto
what they took away. He believed that on that ground
alone, without going into broader questions, they would
I have • large number of members voting for Mr. Locke's
amendment.
Mr. WHALLEY thought their principal duty was to pro-
*test against the taking away of one of their undoubted
Xt. CANDLISH thought they all agreed in their deter-
mination to support Mr. Locke's motion. (Hear, bear.)
He considered that any action before the disposal of that
motion would be premature.
Mr. MERRIMAN (Reform League) said the quarries was
ens which the people of the metropolis wished to hare
settled in • satisfactory manner. The bill was looked
upon by the people as an attempt on the part of the go-
vernment to take revenge upon them for having extorted
the Reform Bill through the medium of Hyde-park. He
wee certain that unless Mr. Loeke's motion was carried
idoge would be considerable trouble on the part of the
authesitles.
The Maims"; said it seemed to be the intention of the
Reform League to adopt measures antagonistic to the bill
by meetings and otherwise outside the house, and
there was evidently an equally strong desire on the
part of the members present to do their best in opposing
the bill. (Hear, hear.) He believed no member of the
League could exceed many members of parliament Fas in their
hostility to the bill, and in their to frustrate
it. (Cheers.)
After some remarks from one or two members of the
Reform League, the proceedings ter masted.

INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP OF CLOTHIERS (LI-
MITED).—The first annual meeting of this co-operative
company was held last evening at the Whittington Club ;
Mr. E. Beales in the chair. There was a large attend-
ance of the shareholders. The Rev. J. Doxey, the hono-
rary secretary, read the report, which stated that the com-
peal' oommenoed business uißeak-stmet, Regent•street, in
April last, and had received a large amount of support
from all classes. The number of shares subscribed for was
2,694, on which 7s. 6d. per share had been paid, and all
goods bought for the establishment had been purchased
for cash. From the result of the few weeks the business
had been in operation the directors were prepared to state
that the company was founded upon sound prin-
ciples, and only required perseverance, upright conduct,
and cordial union amongst the directors, managers, and
shareholders to ensure for it all the success its friends
have ventured to anticipate. The short time which had
elapsed since the business was commenced rendered it un-
desirable to lay any elaborate financial statement before
the meeting, but in the ten weeks ending June 29 they
had reoedvnl 2231. in cash for garments made, and bad
1301. good money on the hooka The Chairman, in moving
the adoption of the report, expressed his eatisfaction at
the proven made by the company, and spoke at some
length upon the great benefit and importanoe of co-opera-
tion to the working classes. The report was adopted, and
the routine business having been transacted, the meeting
concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

Plitslneirr JOHNSON'S LATEST MT:MAWR TO
CONGRISIL-The President's invention should now be ex-
hausted. His message to Congress, which we print to-day,
furnishes the last argument against the Reconstruction
laws that industry could manufacture. It is • financial
argument, and so extraordinary and original that Mr. John-
son deserves especial compliment for ingenuity. The
United States, it appears, in establishing military rule in
the South, is to become responsible for all the debts in-
curred by the ten States before the rebellion. We are in
for 100,000,000 dols. more. A terrible dilemma is pre.
seated to Congress-if we assume obligations so large, the
credit et the nation will be seriously impaired ; if we don't,
our action will be a violation of good faith. The country is
to be ruined or disgraced. Seriously, we believe that there
are few men in America who would have the effrontery to
send such a message toCongress, and are not surprised that
in the Senate not one Democrat could be found to sustain
Mr Johnson's ridiculous hypothesis.-New York Tribune,
July 16.
MURPHY', LECTURES AT BIRKENHEAD. -AFFRE-
NierD6D Blom-It is feared that the presence of Murphy,
" the Protestant Champion Lecturer," in Birkenhead this
week may be the cause of some disturbance, approaching,
if not equal to the Murphy riots at Wolverhampton. For
the last week placards have been posted in the most pro-
minent places in Birkenhead announcing the approaching
visit of the lecturer, and the subjects on which he will
dilate. In order the; the Roman oatholies of Birkenhead
should be put upon their guard against visiting the ball
where Murphy is to lecture, or of answering his pla-
cards, the priests in all the Roman catholic churches on
Sunday strongly impressed upon their congregations the
desirability of non-interference with the lecturer, and a
notice was received from the Bishop of Shrewsbury to the
same effect. The police, too, are on the alert, and every
possible precaution has been taken to atop any breach of
the peace. It is feared, however, owing to • number of
Orangemen having expressed Weir intention to go over
from Liverpool, and act as guard of honour to Murphy,
that • riot is inevitable. Our correspondent telegraphs :
-" Murphy lectured at Birkenhead on purgatory to-night.
Large crowds congregated in the streets, but no dis-
turbance of any consequence took place-the esthetics
acting strictly up to the admonitions of their clergy.
Great fears are entertained for the peace of the town on
Friday, when Murphy lectures on the ' Confessional.'
None of the local protestant clergymen took part in the
proceedings."
