TERCIDITENARY OF TUE UNITARIAN OMR= OF
HIINGARY.—The committees of the British and F
Unitarian Association and the London District Uni
Society gave a public reception at the Hanover
Rooms, last evening, to the Rey. J. J. 'Baylor, upea
return from Hungary, where he has represented them
the recent tercentenary gathering. A numerous oompany
took tea together, and assembled in the large room after-
wards to hear speeches and music. Mr. W. J. Lamport,
of Liverpool, took the chair, and the ministry of the de-
nomination were largely represented on the platform. In
the course of the proceedings it was stated that the Uni-
tarian church in Hungary, after long years of persecution
and difficulty, now stood upon a firm basis of prosperity,
and was specially characterised by its adherence to pro-
grenive faith, the principle of which it had maintained
from a period anterior to the Reformation, and had con-
tended for it triumphantly to the present time. The re-
cent political changes rendered the title of tho church
Hungarian Matted of Transylvanian, as before. There
are now four churches established by law in Hungary,
namely, the catholic, the lutheran, the calviniid, and the
unitarian, and the chairman, as well as Mr. Taylor, the
guest of the evening, dwelt at length upon the extremely
gratifying position of the latter. The last-named gentle-
man in the course 9t his acknowkdginent of tho natter-
ing welcome he had received, gave some Unexciting
sketches of the country and its inhabitants, and p.inted
out the marked improvements that bad taken place in the
means of locomotion. de.. during the past 12 years.
Several other speeches were made. _ _

The Church News states that a very beautiful

A DESPERATE 111011WAYMAN.—Abont a month
ego great alarm was excited moiled the inhabitants of
2s ewbury, Speen, and neighbouring places, by three came
of highway robbery, committed after dark in the outskirts
of the town by • masked individual, armed with a pistol.
In each instance the person attacked was highly respeot-
able, and the circumstances were such as ledto en investi-
gation in the presence of the magistrates far the borough
and the superintendents of [police for the town and dis-
trict. Evidence was taken' proving that the highwayman
had presented the pistol at his victims, and under advent
that be would blow out their brains if they raised an alarm,
induced them to give up their watcheeand money. Thepolice
instituted inquiries in variousidirections, and apprehended
a woman suspected as an accomplice, an old coin stolen
from one gentleman having been found in her poessesion,
but evidence sufficient to justify her committal was not
procurable, and she accordingly obtained her release.
Additional inquiries were attended with fruitless results,
but on Monday night the fellow was captured and lodged
in the county lock-up at Speenhamland. It seems that a
young man named Synde living with his father on a
lonely part of the road between Speenhamland and
Thareisees, was seized near his home by a man whom
face was partially covered, and almost immediately •
pistol was presented to his head ; a scuffle between them
ensued; Syndell struck mid° his assailant's arm, and
the contents of the pistol were discharged in the air.
Syndell held tightly by the wait of the vagabond, and
raised cries which brought assistance, whereupon Wm
delinquent was conveyed to the county lockup, and it was
discovered that the scoundrel who had thrown the neigh-
bourhood into a state of nervous excitement was a youth
about 19 rare of age, named Purdue, and by trade a
painter, harmless in appearance, and not in the least sus-
pected by the police authorities. The superintendent of
the town police (Mr. Deane) having ascertained that
Purdue had kept company with a girl in service in New-
bury, went and obtained from her a quantity of periodicals
Purdue bad given her, and upon examination they
were found to include numbers of a romance enti-
tled " The Black Highwayrn!in" and a tale " Black
Bess, or a Knight of the Road.' There were also portraits
of Dick Turpin, and a coloured illustration, described at
the foot as " The Black Highwayman and Captain Hawk
rescuing the Countess of Blacklake." The men pour-
trayed were masked in the style Purdue adopted. The
occurrence of the name "Captain Hawk" iu the title of
the illustration forms an important piece evidence
against Purdue HI being the num "to committed the three
robberies, he hevirli told his victims that if any one de-
sired to know who had stopped them it was "Captain
Hawk." But his identity is platted beyond all doubt, as
Mr. Hatfield, 'superintendent of county police, found upon
him a watch, part of the proceeds of one of the robberies.
The prisoner was examined on the charge yesterday, and
remanded.

A WELcONIE APPARITION.—One day last week
a Birmingham paper, acting upon incorrect intelligence,
informed its reader that Mr. Welby Pugin, the eminent
Rumen catholic architect, was lying dangerously ill at
Malvern, and shortly afterwards it was reported to the
inmates of the convent at Stone, near Stafford, that Mr.
l'ugin was no more. The convent bell was accordingly
ordered to be tolled, and whilst this tribute to the memory
of their late friend was being paid by the inmates a gen-
Bynum knocked at the convent gate, inquired for the Rev.
Father and sent in his card. The joy and astonish-
ment of the rev. father may be conceived when he road
the inscription, " Mr. Welby Pughi," and the amassment
of the latter on bearing, in reply to his question, " For
whom is the bell tolling ?" that it was for himself may also
be realized by the dialed iination. The reports of
Mr. Pogin's illness and death were equally Without
foundation.

Lamkwril.—Lairt night Mr. M'Arthur addressed
a crowded meeting of electors and non-electors of Lam-
beth in the School-room, Deverell-etreet, Dover-road.
Mr. M'Arthur said he was glad to meet so many of the
working-dames who had been admitted within the pale
of the conatitubon. After referring to the necessity there
was for removing the restrictions of the Reform Act, and
of insisting upon an equitable redistribution of seats, the
hen. candidate went on to speak of the ballot, exprcesing
his opinion that the poor man had a right to exorcise his
vote at elections by the ballot as well as the rich
man to exercise his vote in the same way at his club.
Speaking of the Irish church question ho wished
to say he was a warm friend of the church of England ;
but the church wail ono thing, and the state church in
Ireland another. It was because he wanted to see the
church in Ireland more vigorous that he would vote for
Mr. Oladstone's policy of dinestiblishment and disendow-
ment. Ho believed that if the church in Ireland were din-
connected from the state it would be a purer and abetter
church. He believed that Mr. Disraeli would to-morrow
outbid, if he could. Mr. Gladstone on this subject. Several
questions were then put to Mr. M'Arthur, which he en-
deavoured to answer amid renewed uproar. A vote of
conSdence in Mr. M'Arthar was panned.
MARYLEBONE.—Last evening a fully attended
meeting of the election of Marylebone was addressed in
St. George's-hall, Laugham-place, by Dr. Sandwith ;
Mr. H. Sleek presided. Dr. Sendwith delivered an ad-
dress, in which be potipted out the measures-which be in-
tended to support, and iunongs.t these was the disestablish-
anent of the Irish church. He was in favour of compul-
sory education, which he believed would relieve them of a
very heavy expenditure:—that of • supporting their crimi-
nals and their paupers. He was al.o in favour of religious
equality, which could not exist while a state church ex-
isted, therefore he was in favour of the dCsentablish-

meat of all state churches. As regardod foreign
policy, he was an advocate of arbitration. In answer
to questions, lk. Sandwith said that be would
vote for the removal of every posabk obstruction to the
full representation of the people. He was in favour of a
just and reasonable Tenant Right Hill. He would vote
for a bill for the more humane treatment of political
prisoners. He would also support a bill for the amend.
meat of the bankruptcy laws, the ballot, and the abolition
of flogging in the navy. He would vote for a bill for the
amendment of the game laws, and was in favour of the
equalization of the poor-rates. A vote of confidence was

OXFORD Uwfvuernr.—At a meeting of member
of Convocation held yesterday afternoon in the ball of
Magdalen College, it was resolved that a requisition be
ed to Sir R. Palmer, asking him ballow himself to
printed
nomination for the seat vacated by the retire-
ment of Sir William Heathcote. • _ _

TOWER HAMLErn.—Last eveping Mr. Octavius
E. Coops addressed a large mending of his supporters in
the School-rooms, Saxon-road, North Bow. The proceed-
ings were concluded with the usual resolution amscirortrai4e/
of Mr. Coope's candidature. Mr. Newton also ad
a meeting of his supporters at his committee rooms, High-
street, 'Whitechapel, and a resolution approving of his
candidature was adopted.
Snot:Mt.—Mr. Horwman announced in his second
address issued to the electors of Stroud last week that he
puipmed commencing "a series of public meetings on or
about Monday, the 12th October ;" but it is now under-
stood that his visit is deferred for a short time in con+e-
queues: of his detention on political business in Scotland.
In the meantime there is, as is customary in this busy and
political borough, considerable stir among all classes, and
meetings are being held in some of the detached villages
almost nightly. Party spirit runs very high, and the un-
fortunate division in the liberal camp will of course be
made the most of by the conservatives, who are using their
utmost effort.) to return their candidate, Mr. Dorrington.
SIIELFIELI).—Mr. Roebuck, at a meeting last
night in F.celesall Vestry-hall, was denied a bear-
ing, and the chairman. Idr. Leng. was not heard.
The hall was densely tilled with the opponents of Mr.
Roebuck, who left without attempting to speak. The
hon. and learned gentleman found sonic difficulty in leav-
ing, the feeling against tuns being so strong. A groat
crowd in the street followed him to his cab with volleys of
hooting.
WEPT STAFFORORRIRE.—An enthusiastic liberal
demonstration took place at Wolverhampton last evening.
At a great meeting in support of the candidature of
Meters. Foley and Foster, the liberal candidates, load
cheer. were given for Mr. Oladsteme as the future premier,
and national education and retrenchment were coeiferously
demanded.

TIIE BRILLIANT METEOR.—The tire-ball which
astonished us on Wednesday night, 7th inst., by its extra-
ordinary size and brilliancy, was observed at many
places within a considerable compass. An eye-witness in
Paris says that, being in bed, he was suddenly awakened
at about a quarter to twelve by a strong glare, which at
first made him think that: his room was on fire ho
sprang out of bed, and was just in time to see the meteor
pan rapidly away and disappear behind the housetops.
About ton minutes after he heard two loud reports, like
gunshots. At Rouen the phenomenon was perceived
about the same time. the direction being from S.S.E. to
N.N.W. It is described as an incandescent globe, which,
on bursting, split into two tongues of tire, and iu this
state fell into the Duke of Alreasan's pleasure-ground..
The latter statement is in contradiction with that of the

Fifer°, which asserts that it fell at 1.6 Varenne, St.
Hilaire, close to the Vincennes Railway, on M. Lmy.'s
cptehry, where it was found to measure a metre in
a
and about twenty centimetres in thickness. The
sound was certainly heard at Rouen as well as at Paris,
but it was not heard in England.
MYsTERIGUS DEATH AT COVENTRY.--Consider-
able excitement prevails in Coventry respecting the death
of a young woman named Louisa Warren. She was about
18 years of age, remarkably robust and muscular. On
Monday week she was taken poorly, and complained of
pains in her back. Dr. Craddock was called In, and
gave her a powder. She passed a very restless
night, and suffered much pains in the calves of her
legs and her back. The next day she was a little
easier, but the following night was as restless as before.
On Wednesday afternoon another doctor was sent for, bat
before he came she died in a paasive date. In come-
qoeuce of the singular circumstances attending her death,
Mr. Hewes, the city coroner, directed four medical men to
make a post-mortem examination of the body. This was
done, but none of the medical men could had any indica-
tion of the cause of death. The stomach and smaller in-
testines were marked in some places with patches. They
have been forwarded in sealed jars to Dr. Alfred Hil . the
public analyst for the borough of Birmingham, and the
coroner it up nip; stands adjourned until the analysis
shall have been completed.
SUSPECTED MMlDER.—Yiatertlity, as a boatman
of Hembridge, named Attrell, was on his way to Ports-
mouth, on approaching the Warner lightship, his atten-
tion was drawn by the man in charge of that beacon to
the body of a weil-drivised man floating in the water.
Attroll at ouce attached a rope to the body, and towed
it to Sea View, where it was placed to a shod to
await a coroner's inquest, and Mr. Blake, of Newport,
the deputy coroner for the island, was communicated
with thiough the police. At test, it was thought to be
the body of the missing by the ill-fated
Florence, which sank Inside the Nab Well during the
late gale ; but an examination revealed the hots that the
deceased's pockets had been rifled and turned inside out,
and that a heavy stone was fastened to his right leg, thus
raising very unpleasant suspicions that deceased had come
to his death by unfair means.

The Lone Mayon, in opening the proceedings, said the
meeting had bean called at the ropiest of several inert-
ential banker,,, merchants, and citizens of Lonclop, to
take into consideration the great distress which had bo-
tulism the inhabitant« of Peru and Ecuador by the recent
earthquake. Cities, lands, and everything of value had
been swept shay by that awful visitation oflProvidence,
and thaw inhabitants who bad survived the calamity had
been rendered totally destitute. In this peacefet aud
happy lend we knew of no such cateatrophas, andwe
ought, therefore, to empathise the more deeply with
those poor it iyAiratteese lot was east in less
• plecen •Let lemden consieferwent be the
spint as they had on former occasions, and he was
sure the appeal now tieing made would not have been
urged in vain. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Emmert Eimer, Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land, was called upon to move the first resolution, which
was as follows:—" That this meeting, deeply sympathising
with the sufferers by the disastrous earthquake which has
recently devastated the shores of Peru and Ecuador,
by which thousands of our fallow-matures, and
not • few of our fellow-countrymen, have endured
great bereavement in their families and . pro ate
and multitudes have been left utterly destitute, aysehil"
with confidence to the British public for subscriptions for
their relief ; and that • lie be forthwith opened by the
gentlemen now present." Mr. Hunt said that London
was renowned for the extent of its commerce with foreign
countries, for its activity and industry, and for its un-
memo wealth ; but above all, it stood pre-eminent for the
exhort and character creite charity to all deserving objects.
The evade which had occasioned the calling together of
this meeting were amongst the most appalling, not only
of our own time, but probably of any recorded in the Ins-
tory of the world. The extent, suddenness, and violence
of the destruction of life and property exceeded anything
of which we had any previous knowledge. Over • space
0f.1,200 miles the catastrophe had extended, destroying
theorem& olpeople, and sweeping away millions of pro-
perty. Cities with their churches, hospitals, and other
public buildings had 'been overthrown, and almost in-
stantaneously hurled into the sea, and those persons who
had managed to escape with their lives had been left in
the more abject state of destitution, their homes, house-
hold goods, and worldly poseesrions having all disap-
peared. A dieter such as this could not fail to awake'
deep sympathy amongst Englishmen, and he hoped that
sympathy would be „manifested, not only in the City ei
London, but throughout the country generally, in a
manner becoming one position amongst the nation, of the
earth.' (Hear, hear.) -
Mr. Aix. Itoesiscurte, in seconding the resolution, said
the facts of this case rabst apse al to every heart in a
double sense, because the catastrophe was one wlech no
human intelligence or feu:sight could have averted. It
was solely the work of nature, and no human being could
be held responsible for it. When he remembered the
generous and spontaneous manner in which the English
people always came forward in time of trial and distress,
he was sure they would not be backward on such an
occasion as this. Geologists told us that our hapriy6eialand
bad least to apprehend from a visitation of this and
such being the fact, let them prove their grati by
subscribing largely to relieve those whose distress and
sufferings had been brought about by the fact of their
being obliged to live in a lees happily situated country.
(Hear, hear.)
The resolution was put and earned unanimously.
Mr. MMUS Benetio, M.P., moved the second resolu-
tion, which was to the effect that as it is desirable that a
message of comforting reassurance and prompt relief
should be sent to the victims of this fearful calamity, if
possible, by the despatch of the next mail, a committee,
consisting of Mr. Thai. Baring, M.P. as chairman, Mr. T.
Weguelin, M.P. as treasurer, Sir John Lubbock, and other
gentlemen, be at once formed, to adopt all necessary steps
for giving effect to the foregoing resolution. The hon.
gentleman in the course of his remarks said it was im possible
to add anything to the reports which had already been made
public with respect to this awful matter, and although
it was impossible for them to restore the lives which had
been lecnfleed, or the property which had been destroyed.
yet two things they could and ought to do—the first of
which was to express their deep feeling of regret at what
bad occurred, and then to give practical effect to that
feeling by contributing liberally towards the relief and
consolation of theft who had been rendered so destitute.
let not wily the citizens of London contribute, but let
the appeal be responded to from all parts of England.
(Hear, hear.) Doubtless it behoved the City of London to
take the Iced in the matter, for thcv were the largest com-
mercial city in the world, and as they realised wealth let
them not begrudge bestowing some portion of it in such
a noble work of charity as that which now presented
ibrlf to their notice. (Hear, hear.l.

Mr. 11. H. Ga ns. in seeo•ding the resolution, recom-
mend. d Store who were not yet ac piainted with the awful
details of the earthquake to read the letter of Mr.
Nugent. which had been published. and from which
they would be able to judge of the immenm misery
which had leer caused. He was a South American
merchant, and the house which he repreronted
had probably suffered as much as any other single house
engaged in the same trade in this country. He was there-
fore entitled to speak on behalf of Lis brother merchants,
and their poor leases and trilling sufferings should
have, and lie felt rum would only have, the effe4 of
quickening their hearts to come to the aid of those more
poignant sufferings which had be' n felt by the wretched
people living on the other aide of the Atlantic. (Hear,
hear.) Speaking on behalf of such a mission of mercy,
he was sure his appeal would not be in vain. If there
was any time when they felt they could chow that all
the nations of the earth were but of one blood, this was
the time. (Hear, hear.) Let them think nothing of
differences in language, race, or interests, but let
them help and heartily succour those in distress. (Hear,
hear.) Let them also remember that he gave twice who
gave quickly—(hear, hear,)—and if they desired to en-
hance the value of what they were about to do. they
could adopt no niers effectual mode than doing it at once.
(Hew, hear.) He felt sure that the English message of
sympathy and charity would earn the eternal gratitude
of the people of Peru, Ecuador, and Chili. (Cheers.)
The resolution was put, and carried unanimously.
Sir J. Lrnnoca then proposed the formation of a rub-
cemmittee, who were empowered to ask the permission of
Lord Stanley, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
to allow the )Sigliali representatives in Peru and Ecuador
to supervise the proper distribution of whatever funds
might be sent out for the relief of the sufferers. The hon.
baronet said that it was only in times of calamity that one
nation could show its sympathy for another, and now was
the time for England to once more demonstrate that her
expressions of condolence were not hollow words and
empty professions, but were to be followed by really prac-
tical actions. (Hear.) He was happy to say that the
subscriptions which had been promised to this fund
already amounted to 6.,:irali.—(cheers)— and that was
some guarantee that the commercial community of the
great City of London felt this to be a cause deserving of
their sympathy anal support. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. trobciii.•, M.P., in seconding the appointment of
the sub-committee, raid they hail hail many noble ex-
amples of the manner in which the English people re-
sponded to appeals made to them on behalf of the des-
titute and distroseed ; and when they considered the awful
character of the calamity which had caused them to
assemble together to-day, he felt convinced they would do
add iu their power to relieve the sufferings which hail been
incurred. (Hear, hear.) This catastrophe hail not been
brought about by war or the passions and prejudices of
men, but was one over which there could be no human
control, and therefore those who had suffered by it were
the more entitled to their pity. (Hear. hear.)
The resolution was adopted, and the proceedings were
brought to a close after a vote of thanks had been passed
to the Lord Mayor tut having convened the meeting.
