MR. BARNBY'S CHOIR.
The first subscription concert of this recently-
formed institution took place last night, the programme,
am on the occasion of the special performance given by the
same choir in December, having been entirely selected
from the works of Mendelseohn. Both concerts tom-
1113D:tti with the noble music to Athalie, the performance
of which last night included, as before, the recitation by
Mr. Marston of the text adapted by the late Mr. Bartholo-
mew, from the German version of the tragedy. The
splendid choruses which form the main feature of Atknlie
were sung last night with excellent effect ; the large num-
ber of voices assembled (between two and three hundred)
giving all due importance to the sublime impressiveness of
MIMIC which can scarcely be adequately rendered by a
limited number. The incidental solos were given with
thorough efficiency by Madame Lemmens-Sherrington,
Miss Spahr, and Miss Julia Elton, the well-known trio,
"Hearts feel that lore thee," capitally sang by these
ladies, receiving the usual encore. The second part of
lest night's concert commenced with a march composed by
Mendelssohn in 1841, in celebration of the visit
of Cornelius, the painter, to Dresden. This piece,
which was performed last night for the first
time in this country, pleased so much as to be at
awe re-demanded.
At the next concert, on March 11, the programme will
Include Gounod's " Meese Solennelle," 3lendehaohn's
114th realm, and Beethoven's pianoforte concerto in E
flat. to be played by Madame Schumann.

RELIEF OF DISTRESS IN THE METROPOLIS.

Yesterday afternoon e special meeting, convened
by the Bishop of London, WAS held at the house of the
Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Aasociation, Regent.
street, to consider the desirableness of that association
thoroughly co-operating with the *antral executive for
relief in the East of London. The BISHOP presided, and
was supported by the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Ebnry, the
Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P. ' • General Waco*. ; Mr. T.
Talon, J.P. • the Rev. J. T. Itowsell, rector of St. Mar-
garet's, Lothliury ; lON Rev. Prebendary Burgess, B.D. ;
rector of tipper Chelsea ; the Itev. W. F. Erskine Knotty',
incumbent of Trinity Chun*, Twickenham; Mr. John
Hasaard; the Rev. J. V. Povah, rector of St. Anne's,
Aldersgate ; Mr. Philip Camper* ; Mr. Henry Kingscote ;
Mr. George Schilling ; the Rev. W. J. Crichton ; Mr.
Edward Thornton, U.B. ; Mr. G. K. Rickards ; the Rev.
Henry Howarth, 13.1)., rector of St. George's, Hanover.
square ; and other gentlemen.
After some conversation,
General GASI:011111 moved the following resolution •
" That the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Association
sees with satisfaction the proposed formation of a central
executive for relief of distress at the east end of London,
to enable all societies having in view a common object to
work in harmony with each other, and requests the hono-
rary secretary (the Rev. J. T. Howson) to represent the
association at the meetings of the executive."
The Earl of Hsatuidnv seconded the resolution, and it
was unanimously adopted.
Mr. JOHN HAtIMAIIID said he understood MT. Corbett's
plan to be that the central executive would simply opt
in each eastend parish or union (where they find It) the
existinglaseal machinery through which to distribute incase
of exceptional distress. For instance, in Bethnal-green an
" Employment and Relief Association " had been formed
for the whole pariah and union, with a central committee
and twelve sub committees for recommendation, reference,
and the investigation of applications. Here was a whole
system well organised, and ready for the central executive
to work through. bloat of the other parishes and unions
had also a system of their own at work. The grand object
of the central executive, as he understood it, would be to
prevent one association fromover lapping another.
The Bishop of LONDON would suggest that the almoner'
of the association—the local clergyman—should in all cases
be a member of the eommittee.
Some matters of detail were arranged, and a vote of
thanks to the right roe. chairman closed the business of
the meeting.

GUILDHALL
IXTRAORDIMARY TREATMENT OF POOR PtOPLL

A poor man, named John Hale. residing at Little Peter-
street, Westminster, applied to Mr. Alderman Causton for
his advise and assistance under the followingeircumstances:
—He had formerly been a member of the Loyal Grosvenor
Lodge of Old Friends, which had since amalgamated
with the Provincial Union Assurance Company, 4, New
Bridge-street, Blackfriars. His wife's life was insured
for 51. and his own for 101. About three months ago his
wife died and he applied fur payment of the 51.
to the PrOvincial Union Asanrance Company. He was
directed to leave his policy, book, register of death, and
other mere for examination, which be did, and from that
time Le had never Leen able to get either his money or his
papers.
Mr. Alderman Caneton asked him if he had demanded
his policy back from the company ?
Hale s.id be had just come from there, and had asked
for his policy, as be could not get his money ; but they re-
fused to give it to 1 . He did not see Mr. Miller, the
secretary, for he never could be seen.
Mr. Alderman CAuston asked Hale when be ought to
have been paid

Hale sai'd the policy stated that immediate payment
would be made, but the company had had his policy for
ten weeks.

Mr. Martin (chief clerk) vras afraid that the money could
only he recovered in the County Court, as it was not a
friendly society.
Mr. Alderman Camtan observed that they had no right
to detain his papers unless they paid him his money. It
was very cruel treatment of poor people. The applicant,
he thought, might have a summons against Mr. Miller for
detaining his policy and papers.
The summons was accordingly issued.

ItErIANISM 11: THE ARMY.

Wm. Grams, • private in the 2nd battalion Grena. ier
Guards, was charged with violently assaulting Janet
Diamore, an unfortunate woman.
Prosecutrix, who was evidently very weak, and
whose bead was enveloped in surgical bandages,
said, between 12 and 1 this morning she was
in York-street intoxicated. and the prisoner accosted
her. Because she would not go home with Lim he knocked
her about with his stick, cut her head open, kicked her
about the bead and body, and loosened all her teeth.
Prisoner said she and her companion were drinking
together with him, and one of them stole his money. He
asked her for it, and she said she hadn't got it, and then he
hit her with the back of his hand.

Police-constable Audsley, 231 B, said be saw the pri-
soner cress the road and speak to the prosecutrix. She
said she wanted to have nothing to do with bim, and
walked away ; be followed her, knocked her down, and
then kicked her while on the ground.
The prosecutrix denied with being with a woman or the
prisoner.
The magistrate, who could Lind no circumstances of
palliation in the case, sentenced the prisoner to the full
term of six months' imprisonment with bard labour.

DEAN STANLEY IN ST. JAMES'S-BALL.

Ar a very early period of the meeting in St.
.lames'a-hall yesterday afternoon, the Archbishop
of CANTERBURY found it necessary to remark :
" If a full and patient hearing be not given to
" every one of the speakers whose names are on the
" list, I shall quit the chair." The orator whose dis-
courteous treatment by a portion of the audience—
if that name can be given to people who refused to
listen to him—provoked this rebuke and threat,
was SAMUEL, Lord Bishop of OXFORD. The in-
terference of the chairman was proper, and after
an obnoxious person had been taken by the
collar, and pushed and pulled out of the room,
it was successful. Why, however, was it nut re-
peated later in the day, when the speaker was
not Bishop WILBERFORCE but Dean STANLEY ?
His name was down on the list ; he did not
receive a patient and full hearing; the Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY, did not leave the chair.
The sibilant geese, to use the Bishop of
Ox FORD'S phrase, who had given vent
to their natural utterance, when the modern
successor of HOOKER was upon his legs, once more
renewed their sibilations when Dean STANLEY
spoke ; or were they a different set of geese alto-
gether ? geese more in harmony with the general
feeling of the meeting ! geese who were repeating
the exploit of their Roman ancestors, pagan not
papal, and saving the Capitol ? No one was taken
by the collar and summarily ejected in order to allow
the Dean of WESTMINSTER to say his nay. The
feeling of the meeting found vent in " hisses,"
" hisses" again, "cries of Oh!! oh !' " " loud hisses
" and other interruptions ;" " cries of flues-
" Con, and hisses;" " hisses;" " hisses," once
more ; yet again, " hisses ;" " renewed hisses and
" cries of question ;" " hisses ;" " great uproar ;"
" hisses ;" " uproar ; " " cries of 'Go on ;'" a
voice, " On, Stanley, on ; " " cries of Keep to
" the resolution ;'" " renewed hisses ;" " cries
of ' Sit down ,'" and then followed a " re-
" newal of uproar," which gave practical effect
to the suggestion of the last two words,
and compelled the Dean to relinquish the
attempt to gain a hearing. One eccentric person
there was who cried out " Hear both sides ;" but
this wild suggestion was not repeated, What
became of its author is not recorded.
Possibly Dean STANLEY'S friend shared the
fate of Bishop WILEERFORCE'S antagonist ; and
was tam by the collar and summarily slanted.

THE ROYAL LITERARY FUA

Tux Royal Literary Fund is a beneficent lite-
rary patron, rather than a guild of working men
of letters. It does much good by stealth. It
attracts to its councils and to its banquets men
able and willing to extend a helping hand to those
who have fallen by the wayside, and whose lines
have been cast in leas pleasant places than the
int/dente translator, or the aristocratic dabbler in
printer's ink. So far it is eminently useful. Its
funds are fairly managed, and are liberally and,
above all, secretly dispensed. There is none of
the humiliation attached to the receipt of charity
in accepting its bounty ; and the last years of
many a broken-down, poverty-weighted author
have been soothed by an annuity, all know-
ledge of which has been confined to
the officers of the Fund and the reci-
pient himself. But this admitted, it is
impossible to stifle a feeling of disappointment
that a great literary festival like that of last night
should be chiefly remarkable for the absence of
professional literary men. Earl STANHOPZ is a
nobleman of polished tastes and considerable
acquirements, who has devoted a portion of his
leisure to the writing of history ; M. VAN Ds
Wxvxa's intense and cultivated sympathy with all
pertaining to the arts entitles him to take rank
with the experts of literature ; Lord Houn-
woes sweet and facile versification, and the
PINNIES'S never-to-be-forgotten political disser-
tations thinly coated with fiction, justly place
them in the literary ranks. But these are notable
exceptions in the distinguished company assembled
at the iffeemasose' Tavern last night, and are

The decrease in pressures noticed yesterday has been con-

Readings In Scotland are now three-tenths of an Inch less than
those reported yesterday. In the south a smaller change Is
observable. Weather Is winner this morn' Winds yesterday
were variable and moderate—south on the Channel

very light and variable. A little rein has fallen in the north
but elsewhere weather is dry. The sky is cloudy, and mist Is
reported from the west coast.

THE LATE Horr. THOXAB D'Ancy Mc(IRE.—We
are pleased to learn that &petition to the government is now
in course of signature among the Iriahmemben of the Howe

out of the Royal Bout) Fund to the surviving sister
of the late Mr. McGee. By the assassination of her
brother—who was her sole support for years past—she hu
been rendered entirely destitute, and as it will
be a graestid act on the part of the government to make
the grantors have no doubt that a favourable answer will
at once be returned to the petition. We believe the
amount will be 1001. per annurn.—Csitadian Pew, May 7.

THE QUEEN T. THE MAYOR, &C., OF ABER...VON.
In this ciao a rule had been obtained calling upon the
mayor, &c., of Aberavon to show cause why a man-
...mu should nut issue commanding them to
',aka and levy • borough rate for the payment of two
rums, viz., 3121. Rs. 9d. and 1771. Bs. tid., bills of
ants due to Mr. David Randall, an attorney, for obtaining
charter of incorporation for the borough. The first bill
• •ta incurred in iNild, when the petition for a charter was
refused ; and the second in 18.59, when the application was
granted. On the second occasion much of what had been
done on the first application was made use of. The cor-
poration doubted their liability for the first bill, but they
were willing and ready to levy a borough rate for the pay-
ment of the second amount. _ _ _

blr. itiell ab, Q.('., showed cause against the rule, sad
Mr. Qusin. Q.c., supported it, and it was ultimately re-
ferred to the Master for him to state what portion of each
amount should be paid to the applicant.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESS.

Tim case of the little Camden Town newspaper
seems likely to have the dignity of establishing a
point in law. The Commissioners of Inland Re-
venue summoned its proprietor before the Bow-
street magistrate yesterday on the charge of pub-
lishing his journal without having registered it at
Somerset House, or providing the securities re-
quired by law. It was contended for the defence
that when the compulsory stamping of news-
papers was abolished, the whole theory and
meaning of registration and surety-finding fell to
the ground. When the Act of Parliament pro-
viding that all newspapers should be printed on
stamped paper, and inflicting punishment upon
any one printing, publishing, or having in his pos-
session an nnstamped newspaper was repealed,
all Government control was, it was argued yester-
day, thought to have gone too. Sir THOMAS
HENRY expressed a very decided opinion, how-
ever, that there was no repeal of the law
with respect to sureties, and convicted the de-
fendant in two penalties of 201. each, a decision
which will be promptly submitted to a superior
court. The present requirements of the authori-
ties, " previously to the printing of a newspaper,"
or upon any change of title in the name of the
printer, publisher, or proprietor, or of the places
of printing or publishing—are minutely exigent.
The title of the newspaper, its place of printing,

in which it is printed is situate, and

were got off the first four ovens, and in the fifth, Jupp
touched a ball of Mr. Grace's, which the wicket keeper
took care of. Ricketts was next in and out, for, after
Humphrey had made a drive for 2, Mr. Grace bowled

and then Mr. Buchanan retaliated by bowling his off stump
out of the ground, making the third player's wicket down

THE HONOUR OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Ir appears, from the proceedings in both
Houses last night, that the announcement we made
twenty-four hours since of a grand ministerial
intrigue in preparation was only too correct.
Our readers will perhaps have noted with
surprise the report to which we felt it our duty
to give currency yesterday, " that a considerable
" number of the ministerial members intend to
" try and defeat the Registration Bill, in order
" to postpone the dissolution of Parliament till
" next year ;" and that " there will also be an
" attempt in the House of Lords to reverse the de-
" cision of the House of Commons with regard to
" the Boundary Bill." To an ingenuous public
unaccustomed to believe in deliberate breaches of
faith on the part of any government in this coun-
try, this sinister rumour might have looked like a
mere party missile, destined to serve a momentary
purpose of throwing discredit on the character of
an administration which has been more than once
accused, even by some of its natural allies, of
crooked arta, and by its adversaries of systematic
duplicity. We invite particular attention to the
discussion last night in the Lords in committee on
the Boundary Bill, and to the discussion
in committee of the Commons on the
Registration Bill. It will be seen how literally
and exactly—far more literally and exactly than
we could have anticipated—our unpleasant antici-
pations have been verified. Every dispassionate
and impartial observer of this combined flank
movement of Mr. DISRAELI'S forces will agree
with Lord RUSSELL that " this is altogether a
" new wpy of carrying on the administration of
" the country," and, with our contemporary the
Times, that it is " an outrage upon parliamentary
" government." What are the simple facts of the

THIS £XD 110111IDAST and.

Despite its preference for the report of the
Boundary Commission, over that of the select com-
mittee, the Time* speaks strongly of the course of
the government in opposing the Boundary Bill in
the House of Lords after it had been accepted in
the Commons, and after Mr. Disraeli's declaration
there that the question was settled. A direct con-
flict between the two houses has been threatened, and an
outrage committed on the conduct of parliamentary go-
vernment. In any case a general election in November
will be rendered doubtful. The alteration of the Boun-
dary Bill by the Lords, if persisted in, must be re-
considered by the Commons, and will, undoubtedly,
be rejected by them. A conference must ensue. What-
ever happens time will be lost, and the passing
of the Boundary Bill must be delayed, and en
election in November jeopardised if not rendered impot
fable. The conduct of the government in the Lords, more-
over, cannot be disconnected from the discussion on the
Registration Bill in the Rouse of Commons. The ministry
were last night pressed by their supporters in the lower
house to abandon the Registration Bill and let the elec-
tions take their ordinary course. Mr. Hardy resisted it,
and with success; but what surety can we have
that some counterpart of Colonel Berttelot and
Mr. Smollctt will not oppose the Registration
Bill in the Lords, and be supported there by minis-
terial influence and votes Y If the language of a minister
in one house does not bind his colleagues in the other,
there is an evident danger of such a result. The Times
can conceive no greater disaster than that six months
should intervene between the close of this session and the
election of a new parliament, and should the latter be de-
ferred through any double dealing, the ministry will be
discredited and parliamentary government dishonoured.
The Herald is at a loss to account for the conduct of the
opposition in the Lords. The compromise was accepted
by Mr. Disraeli just so far only as the House of Commons
was concerned. Even if he had wished to bad to it his
Iriends in the "other place," he was clearly without
rower to give any promise of their acquiescence.

of counsel and agents showed the deep solicitude of the
parties whose interests were concerned in the bill; and the
number of persons who watched the proceedings showed
that the general public were by no means in-
different to the question. The principal witness
of the day was Mr. Scudamore, assistant secretary
of the Poet-office. After Mr. Scudamore there were two

MARK-LANE.--(THIS DAY.)
Very short supplies of home-grown wheat were re-
ceived fresh up this morning. There was a thin attendance
of millers, who purchased sparingly at the decline noticed
on Mondalt:
For the time of year the market was fairly supplied with
foreign wheat. Sales progressed slowly, at late rates.
Floating cargoes of wheat were neglected. In other
respects the floating cargo trade was quiet.
There was a moderate show of barley on the stands, but
it was almost entirely composed of foreign samples. Busi-
ness was of a limited character, on former terms.
Malt was dull, at about stationary prices.
In oats sales progressed slowly. Choice parcels were
tolerably firm in value, but heated and inferior corn tended
downwards.

The transactions in beans were unimportant.
Peas were unaltered in price, with a moderate
demand.

Flour was quiet, on former terms.
The seed market was inactive, at late rates. Cakes sold
at full prices.

THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.

The following is a summary of the bull convok-
ing the (Ecumenical Council :—Having mentioned
that the church is of Divine institution his Holi-
ness enumerated the services rendered in all past
times by the Sovereign Pontiffs to civil and reli-
gious society. They have never neglected, says
the bull, to call together general councils
when they deemed them necessary. Pius
IX. then proceeds to describe the errors of
modern society ; he represents the church
attacked and spoliated, the clergy persecuted,
religious orders ruined, the diffusion of pernicious
books and a corrupting press, and the education of
youth taken out of the hands of the clergy and
placed in those of professors who have no religious
belief. To provide a remedy for so many evils the
Holy Father has felt it his duty to convoke an
CEueumenical Council at Rome for the Bth De-
cember, 1869. His Holiness adjures the bishops
to repair thither or to send representatives; and
he expresses his hope that the various sovereigns,
far from opposing this work of piety, will pro-
mote it.

fiaIJ'rHWARIE.

Joseph Thomas Norman, a carman, of Kentish-town, 1•21.9
brought before Mr. Bureham charged with causing the
death of Frederick William Goldsmith, seven years of age,
by driving over him with a van and two horses.
James William Cook, residing at 1, Russell-place, Old
Kent-road, said that between 6 and 7 o'clock ou the pre-
vious evening he was coining out of a tobacconist's, a few
doors off, when ho saw a van and two horses passing, and
the hind wheel passed over the child's head, and killed
him.
Mr. Burcham asked atwhat rate was the prisoner going ?
Witness replied that he was not driving more than throe
miles an hour. Witness did not think he saw the child
or knew what had happened until he was stopped, and
then he accompanied the parties who picked the little boy
up to a surgeon's. At the time of the accident the man
was about four feet from the kerb.
Joseph Wilton, leather-dresser, Bermondsey, said that
between six and seven on the previous evening he was
passing along the Old Kent-roaif when he saw two vans,
one before the other, near the kerb. Two young children
were playing with each other, rolling on the pavement,
and just as the first van had passed the deceased fell over
his companion, and rolled ofrthe kerb, and both wheels of
the prisoner's van passed over him. The hind wheel went
over his head, and killed him.
In answer to Mr. Burcham, witness said that the
prisoner wus walking his horses slowly along, and knew
nothing of the accident until he was stopped. There was
no fault attached to the driver.
Police-constable 61 K, said that he was called to the
spot, when he saw the dead child. The prisoner was
pointed out to him as the driver of the van, and
he took him into custody. At the station-house
he said he did not see the child, and did not
know it was run over until he was stopped.
Mr. Burnham asked if he had anyevidence to show that
there was any neglect on the part of the prisoner.
Witness replied in the negative. There were several
other witnesses in attendance, but they all testified that
there was no fault attached to the prisoner.
Mr. Benham observed that as such was the case, he
must be discharged.
The prisoner who very much regretted the fatal acci-
'
dent, then left the court with his friends.
