The object of this Association is to furnish the press and
the public of England, the Continent of Europe, and the
Western world with a fuller and more regular supply of
telegraphic intelligence than the present system proviees.
The rapid and constant supply of early telegraphic news
has grown into a necessity, not only to the press of every
country, but to all persons engaged in commerce and public
affairs. But in proportion to the recognition of its increasing
importance, the danger and inconvenience of drawing it
through one channel have become more and more obvious.
The dang arises from the
information which i fact that there are no means of
testing; ther e accuracy of the s thus put
into circulation ; and the inconvenience is evident in the de-
pendence of the press and the public, both as regards expe-
dition
and expense, on a single source of supply.
The danger and inconvenience arc universally felt, and a
remedy would have been attempted long since but for the
almost insurmountable difficulty of establishing an organisa-
tion of correspondence sufficiently comprehensive to meet the
demands of so vast„an enterprise. Such an undertaking
would have no legitimate title to the confidence of the public
unless it presented a marked superiority in the scope and
character of its resources over the existing machinery.
The promoters of " The Telegraphic News Association
(Limited ," atter much preparation and expenditure,
and favoured by circumstances of an exceptional nature,
are in a position to undertake this responsible function,
with the certainty of being able to execute it in a complete
and effect ye Planner. Distributed at all points within
the range of the electric wire, where the most important
intelligence, political and commercial, is to be obtained
at first hand, a staff of experienced correspondents
has been organised, vy whoa* retailers/len relations -with
authentic sources of information ensure a priority of intelli-
gence upon which implicit reliance may be placed, and whose
tried discretion and activity offer the safest guarantees for
despatch and punctuality. Special arrangements have been
made for procu-fug early and accurate, and, in Mini in-
stances, exclusive information in connection with the Ame-
rican civil war and the progress of the new Mexican empire,
while from China and the East Indies intelligence will fre-
quently be transmitted via St. Peterburg when other sources
of information are silent.
Rigid impartiality and complete neutrality will be main-
tained in the language and substance ei al telegrams issued
by the assoc ation. A steady adherence to this vital prin-
ciple will, it is hoped, secure the confidence of statesmen, dip-
lomatists, the press, and comercial communit, and
tend finally to establish thethe authormity and extend the utility
of the design.
A careful estimate has been made of the probable financial
iesults of the undertaking, assuming the highest scale of
expenditure and the lowest of receipts. The conclusions
arrived at justify the anticipation of a large return upon a
small outlay.
For the purpose of accomplishing these objects, it is pro-
posed to form au association , to be called "The Telegraphic
News Association (Limited)," with a capital of £50,000, in
5,000 shares of £lO each, of which £1 will be payable on
deposit and £1 on allotment, beyond which it is not considered
likely that any further call will be required.
The head office of the Association for England and the
western world will be in London, and for the Continent of
Europe in. Brussels.

An accident of shocking character has occurred
in the iron foundry of Messrs. Rowland and
Andrews, at Islelksham, Wilts. The men were engaged
in casting, and had hoisted a large cauldron of boiling
metal over a mould. The cauldron was suspended by ropes,
and at the side a man, named Thomas Rudman, was
kneeling, adjusting the mould. While
ted the cauldron
ome of
was
being lowered one of the ropes being twis, and
the liquid metal poured over the side upon Rudman, burn-
ing him in a frightful manner, and taking the flesh off his
side and leg. In attempting to raise himself, Rudman
placed his hand in a pool of boiling metal, and thus received
further injury. He was dragged from further danger by
his fellow-workmen, and is progressing as favourably as the
serioue nature of hie injuries Will adrait,—Bristoi Pout,

Sir R. Peel at Tamworth.

OnWednesday even itig a complimentary dinner was given
to the ex-Mayor of Tamwmth in the Town-hall, at which
the borough members, Sir R. Peel, Bart., and Mr J. Peel,
were present. _

The Hole. BARONET, in responding to the toast of "The
Borough M embers," said he had had the privilege of attend-
ing these meetings for many years; and it was a salutary
rule, which ho did not in any way wii3h to infringe, that
when the health of the members for the borough was drunk
on occasions like that topics of political controversy should
be avoided. Ho did not wish to infringe that rule; but
he hoped those present would allow him to make a small
exception to it—(appleuso)—not for the purpose of unneces-
sarily bringing into native topics of political controversy,
because he did not believe, it possible for any man, in the
presence of a constituency numbering more than five hun-
dred members, to give entire satisfaction to those who might
entertain views different from him on political questions.
But this ho believed —that the verdict of that constituency
would be one of approval—would be that so far as the ex-
ercise of his humble abilities went, he had endeavoured to
do that which appeared to him to be for the interest of the
country at large. (Applause.) He did not take any credit to
himself on this account. He believed it was the result of
the circumstance that ho had the honour to belong to a Go-
vernment which had followed a wise, a prudent, and a
judicious course of late years. The Government of the pre.
sent day had followed—to use an expression that was well
used some years ago with reference to the French Ministry
—a ius(e milieu, that was to say, it had followed a middle
course of policy, and he believed it had thereby best con-
sulted the interests of the country; and he thought those
lines which were once applied to a well-known and very
celebrated ministry, might not be altogether inapplicable
as expressing the policy of the, present day—
" The Tories and theSVege are black as night,
And dream that they are only blessed with light;
Our politics to both sides so incline,
As to be called the equinoctial line."
(Laughter.) Anyone who looked at the policy of the Go-
vernment must admit that upon ono or two points it had
been eminently successful. Look at the policy of the
Government financially, (Hoar, hear.) His hon. friend
(Captain Stewart) in replying to the toast of the Army and
Navy, alluded to the probability that was said to exist, that
there might be some considerable reduction in the forces
of the country. He certainly had seen that in the news-
papers ; but he should think it was too early to conclude
that any resolution of that kind had been adopted.. Cer-
tainly it would not be the case that any reduction would be
made which could possibly imperil the honour and dignity
of this country in its relations with foreign States. But
leaving that question apart, ho was bound to say that it
could not be denied that in the administration of the finan-
cial affairs of this country there had been groat success.
That success was mainly owing to the distinguished abilities
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was the otner day
by Mr Cobden—certainly ono of the most able and most dis-
tinguished members of the House of Commons—said to be
the ablest Finance Minister that had ever directed the
finances of this country. Under the financial administra-
tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer this had been seen
—that during very critical times, whilst the budgets of
every other country in Europe had shown a deficit which
required not only loans, but which had also required in-
creased taxation, this great country, powerful La every part
of the world, had been able to maintain its position and to
meet its expenses, in such a manner as to leave a surplus,
so as to enable the Government to make no inconsiderable
reduction in taxation, with a balance in hand to meet con-
tingencies. (Hear, hear.) This, all would admit, whatever,
their political views, was a subject of congratulation to the
country,and it was unparalleled in the history of the budgets
of the past year of the different European States, that this
country should have been able, in spite of its immense
armaments and the great drains it had had upon its Ex-
chequer, not only to maintain a balance between its expen-
diture and revenue, but also to remit considerable taxation.
and at the same time to leave a considerable balance in hand.

It he turned to the domestic policy of this country, there
was not much to be said. The country was in a remarkable
state, ho would not say of apathy, but of tranquillity. 'We
certainly had had a crisis in Lancashire,:and thero had
been Ireland a very unhappy pressure from want of food
and fuel, owing to three bad harvests prior to the year 1864.
Thank God this yoar had been most productive of the fruits
of the soil. But, there had been this crisis in Lancashire and
this pressure in Ireland, and yet how satisfactory it must
be to all to see the manner in which the people of this
country had met the occasion. The industrial and the opera-
tive ClaSbC3 had shown that they were (quit even to the
pressure of such misfortunes, and it was a happy circum-
stance that this might be attributed (as in his mind it might)
re the wise and tiberreasystem of Government which the
constitution of this country had established, and which was
found nowhere else. The feeling of the people of this
country had been sound and just and temperate in nattier-
tunes ; and why ? Because they were convinced that the
misfortunes and sufferings b th of Lancashire and of Ire-
land were brought about by the dispensation of Providence,
against which human foresight would not have been able
to contend, and they were in no way attributable to the
shortcomings of the Government of this country. (Hear.)
There was ono other subject to which he wished to refer,
and that was the foreign policy of England. He had fur a
considerable time in Parliament directed his attention with
perseverance and steadiness to the consideration of the foreign
policy of England, in the hope that some time he might bo
of use in that department of the public service; but owing
to the occupations that ho had had as the representative in
Parliament of the policy of the Government of Ireland, it
had been impossible for him to follow it with that clear judg-
ment. that nice discrimination of the real facts of the case,
which the foreign policy of England, coupled with the ha-
bitual jealousy of foreign States, rendered it absolutely ne-
cessary it should receive. This was the only question in
Parliament on which a great party fight had taken place—
the only question during the last yoar whereby the stability
of Government was imperilled—the only question upon
which, if the Government had been defeated, the Govera-
went must inevitably have resigned, because it would have
occasioned, in the first instance, the resignation of the Fo-
reign Minister. All the ability and eloquence of hon. gentle-
meia were brought to bear against the foreign policy of the
Government on a certain question. However deeply they
might sympathise with that unhappy country which had
suffered most unjustly at the hands of overwhelming power-
ful enemies, yet he Was quite certain that, looking at the
financial condition of this country, looking at the conse-
quences in which this country would have been involved if
she had drawn the sword upon the Continent of Europe
once again, he was satisfied that there was no reasoning man
in this country who would not admit that it was a matter of
the gravest importance to undertake a war against the
powers of Germany on such a question. Parliament gave
a deliberate verdict on that question, and the Government
found itself supported by a larger number of members than
it had when it took hold of the reins of Government in 1859.
This was to his mind a convincing proof —he would not say
of the popularity of the Government as a body, but of the
confidence of the public in the capacity, judgment, and
great experience of the noble lord who presided at the head
of the Administration of this country. This being the ease,
the meeting of hon, members with their constituents, which
it was expected would have taken place at an early date, had
been postponed for a considerable time. He personally hoped
that if it were now the time to present himself before his
constituents ho should be able to do so as an honourable can-
didate in the face of honourable:mon, prepared to justify his
political conduct upon grounds which ho felt certain would
enlist the support and sympathy, not of all—for he could
not pretend to engage the personal or public feelings of all
his constituents, though it was always his wish to do that
in Parliament which would be most consonant with the
views
as certainly his constituents. There

that Government medi-
tated a dissolution, and tho Opposition took very active
steps in the matter. But he did not believe there was any
greater likelihood of a dissolution in January or in March
than there was in this November, and his impression was
of
a il
that if the Government maintained its position in the
House of Commons as it had done hitherto, there would
be no dissolution until the year 1866 ; but that of course
depended upon the wish of Parliament—upon the majority
being in • favour of the Government, and there being no ne-
cessity for a dissolution of Parliament before the spring of
that year. He should like to say a word with reference to
the circumstances which had made him an absentee from his
own home of late years. Maar, hear.) He had the honour
of representing in Parliament the policy of tho Government
in Ireland, and his attendance, consequently, was much en-
d in that country. Ile must say that it was impossible
gage
to have the opportunity which he had had of
for any man
witnessing the social and intellectual character of the peo-
ple of Ireland, without being impressed to a remarkable de-
gree with the acute intelligence, with the genial good
humour, and with the mor characte r of te Irish pepl—

Irelandti
wlehout being convinced that they only needed de-
velopment—and that development they were every day ac-
quiring in the public markets of the United Kingdom—to
place the country in the position it ought to occupy. He had
heard a great many people talk of " the sweets of office."
(Laughter) He did not quite see the force of the expression.
(Laughter.) lie knew he should be sorry to taste again the
ts" of the first year of hie office as Chief
so-called " swee
Secretary for Ireland. (Laughter.) He had to und ergo as
many trials as most people; but he was happy to think that
he bad been able to turn those trials to advantage, and
feeling as he did when he first went to.
hi for
Ireland the defects
under which he laboured, he strove to improve m
the benefit of that country in whose
interests he was in.
volved, and to make himself more worthy of the confidence
reposed in him by those who conferred +to appointment

upon him—(hear, hear)—and he rejoiced to think that at the
present moment a very large number of those who repro
rented Irish interests in Parliament, if ho could not call
them his personal friends, were upon terms of cordiality and
kindness with him which were very valuable in the dis-
charge of business in the House of Commons. In the dis-
charge of his duties in Ireland, ho had to do kith men of
great ability and remarkable power of expression. He saw
the other day a very interesting observation made by a most
eminent Roman Catholic judge, which really showed bow
the Irish people, now that they were removed from the
trammels of intolerance and of those oppressive laws which
once encircled them, were able to rise to great eminence in
public life and in Parliament. It was a roost remarkable
fact that nearly all tho colonies and dependencies of Great
Britain—Canada, India, Australis, and other great colonies
and dependencies of this country--wcro at the present me-
meat actually governed by Irishmen ; and, therefore, when
Irishmen complained that they were kept back from the
public service, it was well to note that at all events they
were making sufficient way for themselves; and he believed
there was not an office which they did not either hold or
covet, (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He had heard it said
in Ireland that Ireland must be considered first, and every-
thing else afterwards. But he thought the time had gone
by when separations and distinctions ought to be made be-
tween different parts of the United Kingdom. (Hear, hoar.)
The Legislature ought to endeavour to pass just and wise
laws which would be equally for the benefit of all our follow-
countrymen. He thought Ireland should not be considered
first, but as soon as the other parts of the kingdom: Irish-
men—and small blame to them for it—always kept in view
what was vulgarly called "the main chance." It reminded
him of an anecdote that was told of a famous orator named
Curran, which would show that the Irish really always had
the "main chance" in view. Curran once met his friend
Father O'Leary, and says ho to Father O'Leary, "Rev.
Sir, I wish you, were St. Fethi3r;" (Laughter.) 4' St.
Pother," says Father O'Leary, "why 'so r,---I(Why," says
Curran, " you were St. Pother you would have the keys
of the kingdom of Heaven, and may bo you would lot me
in." "0, boded," says Father O'Leary, " that's what
ye're after is it May be it would be better for you if I had
the keys of the place below, and then I might let you out."
(Much laughter.) This showed that the Irish kept a sharp
lookout on " the main chance." Ho trusted that during his
connexion with that country ho might continue to find the
people, as he had always found them hitherto, a most
amiable and a most kindly people. So long as he had had
anything to do with the practical concerns of Ireland ho
had, with rare exceptions, received the most generous and
the most honourable treatment at the hands of gentlemen
of that country, irrespective of religious creed (hear, hear)
—and if he were to leave that country to-morrow—or when-
ever he should leave it—he should look back with the
warmest and heartiest satisfaction that he had had an op-
