Raroint biturrnto rig SoirnrwAsi.—A meeting
of reformers was held on Saturday night in the Borough-
road Congreiptional Church, Seathwark for the purpose
of descant.* the government reform Mff, and e
entire confidence in Mr. Gladstone. Mr. G. M.Treusrplin!
Murphy_,
the chairman, defined the ultimate object of the move-
ment in which they were engaged to be manhood suffrage,
but they were prepared to accept as an instalment house-
hold suffrage and a lodger franchise protected by the
ballot, unrestricted, however, by such complications as a
two years' residence. lie stigmatised the tortes as inca-
pable of passing • satisfactory measure and the only
course was to turn them out and replace Mr. Gladstone.
Letters were read from Mr. Locke, M.P., and Mr. Layard,
M.P., who both said they were unable to attend the meet-
ing. The latter, however, expressed his concurrence in its
H objects. Mr. ooker moved the first resolution, de-
nouncing the government measure as a delusion and •
snare, and urging liberal members to oppose it until at
least household suffrage, protected by the ballot, became
the law of the land. Mr. Dresser Rogers moved the
second, expressing sympathy with Mr. Gladstone, and con-
demning the conduct of so-called liberals, who disfran-
chised their constituencies at the time of need. The third,
moved by Mr. Jarman, called upon the members of the
borough (with the exception of Mr. Doulton, who insulted
the borough by retaining his seat) to represent in every
practical way the feeling of the meeting. The three reso-
lutions were carried, and the proceedings terminated with
a vote of thanks to the chairman.

MR. RUOESSEN, M.P., ON THE REFORM QUE. -
TION. —Mr. Hugemen, M.P., addressed a meeting of the
Deal Liberal Association on Thursday evening, and in the
Douse of • long speech, in which he entered fully into the
objections he entertains to the government Reform Bill,
he criticised strongly the conduct of those who had
voted in antagonism to the bulk of the liberal party on
the late division. He said, the fact was, there were many
men in the house who were not honest in relation to the
question of reform. They were admirers of Lord Pal-
merston, and were returned as his supporters under the
shadow of his name. Lord Palmerston had the support
of many men who blinked political opinion; they entered ,
parliament as his supporters, but had little if any
political prineiples of their own. The men who would not
vote on the late question were in his epinion untrue to
their party. There were some afraid of voting against the
government on this measure lest they should not get a reform
bill this session ; but this was doing evil that good might
come. He said, do right be the consequences what they
may. He thought it better to vote for what he thought
was right now, rather than wait the chanties of the
future. It was quite clear that we must come .to
household suffrage, and if so, lit it be given openly and
honestly. He was not afraid of that, if they got rid of
bribery and corruption. He should not be afraid of house-
hold suffrage, nor even of universal suffrage, in that
borough, if the electors were left to the free exercise of
their own judgments. He expressed his approval of the
Corrupt Practices Bill, and would vote for it ; and he
gave it as his opinion that all true liberals ought to stand
by Mr. Gladstone. At the conclusion of the bon. mem-
ber's speech the following resolution was adopted:—
" That this meeting desires to express its full confidence
in Mr. Gladstone as leader of the liberal party in the
House of Commons, and its entire satisfaction at the vote
of the senior representative of this borough (Mr. Knateh-
bull Hugessen) in favour of Mr. Gladstone's recent amend-
ment on the Reform Bill," which was seconded by Mr.
Lush, and carried unanimously.
MR. A. J. OTwAY, M.P., AND THE ELECTORS OF
CIIATICAL.—On Saturday evening Mr. A. J. Otway, the
member for Chatham, addressed a crowded meeting of his
constituents in that borough, on the present aspect of the
reform question, and the duty of the liberal party. The
chair was taken by Mr. J. Baird, and on the platform were
the leading supporters of the liberal party in the borough.
M.. Otway expressed his strong opposition to the govern-
mentihill .and his oonfidence in Mr. Gladstone seam leader of
the liberal party. On the motion of Mr. Thompson, seconded
by Mr. Black (two working men), the following resolution
was unanimously agreed to : "That this meeting, having
' beard the views expressed by Mr. A. J. Otway on the
question of reform and on other important matters, hereby
declares him to be worthy of the support of this borough.
And this meeting cannot allow the opportunity to par
without acknowledging the great services he his rendered
to the liberal cause, and also to the country, for the firm
and determined part that be took in so ably advocating the
abolition of the lash, and the meeting urges upon him the
necessity of following up this humane question." Mr.
Otway having briefly acknowledged the compliment, three
cheers were given each for Mr. Otway Mr. Mr. Gladstone, and
Mr. Bright, after which the proceedings terminated.
QUERETT MICROSCOPICAL CUM.—The monthly
meeting was held on the 26th inst. at University College,
Mr. Ernest Hart, President, in the chair. Dr. Ratliff.:
described his ingenious method of obtaining thin sections
of insects, eoft vegetable finites, minute seeds, Sic., by im-
mersion in wax and afterwards slicing them upon the
ordinary section table. Mr. Higgins gave • lengthened
and interesting description of the " otolithes" or carbon's
of fishes, to the study of which he has devoted himself
with remarkable industry for the last 18 years. The result
of many thousand examinations of fossil and recent fish
has enabled him with positive accuracy to identify sprite,
and in teeny instances genera. His remarks were illus-
trated by an extensive series of " otolithes," which were
displayed in ewes in the room containing specimens
°MAI:led from the largest to the smallest fish, both fresh.
water and marine. The meeting, which was attended by
upwards of 130 members and their friends, terminated with
a conversations. Eight members were elected.
