REFORM DINNER AT TOTNES.

On Vt, ednesday a public dinner took place in the As-
sembly Reoms at Totnes, to commemorate the victory
recently obtained by the Reformers in this borough get-
ting the representation of both seats. There were about
150 gentlemen present. Mr. W. F. Windeatt presided,
and Mr. J. R. Fogwill acted as vice-president. Mr. T.
Mills, M.P., was present, but Lord Seymour, who was
at Maiden Bradley, Warminster, had received the invi-
tation at so late a period as not to permit of his being
present. Mr. G. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. Lindsay, the
recent candidate for Dartmouth, were also invited, but
were unable to be present. The usual loyal toasts were
drunk, after which the Chairman proposed the toast of
the evening, the health of its Members. Mr. Mills, in
replying, adverted with pleasure to the result of the
contest. Ile said that after the Tories had had one
seat for thirteen years, he had wrested it from them,
and had obtained it by a larger majority than
all the majorities put together in all the contests
that the Tories had had during that time. Mr. Mills
promised that he would pay the electors an annual visit,
to render them an account of his stewardship, and that
if any of his votes were not satisfactory to a majority of
his constituents he would resign. Mr. J. Neale, barrister,
of the Oxford Circuit, replied to the toast of the electors
of Dartmouth, by detailing some very gross cases
of
coercion that aro now being put in force in that borough
against persons who voted for the Liberal candidate,
and loudly demanded the ballot, at which the whole
company rose and gave three times three cheers. Mr.
Neale also stated that it was his intention to immedi-
ately organise a reform association for South Devon, in
order to wrest the representation of South Devon from
the Tories. Mr. Latimer, of the Western Times, re-
sponded for the electors of Exeter, and tollowed up the
remarks of Mr. Neale on coercion, by showing that the
representation of South Devon, which was formerly in
the hands of the yeomen, had been wrested from them
by the organization of the landlords and their intimi-
dating their tenantry. Some of the latter, who had
dared to vote as they liked, had been turned out of their
farms, and told to go and tell the reason why in the
ma!ket places. _

Mr. tucker, of Abhburton, Mr. Chalker, of Dart-
mouth, and other gentlemen spate, and the evening wets
pasaed in the most pleasant and agreeable manner.

used for a single summer and then thrown aside, but a
permanent addition to the mesas of amusement and id-
struction possessed by England and the world. A fair
constantly open, a'bazsar of new and ever varying ma
tractions, an exhibition of all that is curious in art
and beautiful in nature, the natural receptacle of every
new invention, the natural laboratory for the construc-
tive intellect of the country—such a building under-
takes to discharge functions, of which the brief and glo-
rious vision of the former exhibition may enable as to
form some guess, but surely not a complete or ads quate
conception. It is pleasing to view an old cathedral,
and to think that there, for hundreds of years, the
same worship has been offered under the same roof; but
the destinies of this edifice are, in one respect, even
more striking, for it is destined to behold and to con-
tain the results of the gradual improvement of science,
and to be the first witness of every victory which man
wins from the hidden and reluctant laws of nature.
How puny and infantine are the triumphs we have,
already obtained compared with those that lie before us,
and on what spot of earth can; descend a nobler destiny
than
to be the appointed treasure-house of the spoils

persuade the public that it Is to be carried on with a
view to higher and more disinterested motives than
usually actuate the directors and shareholders of a joint-
stock company. We rejoice, on the other hand, that
there is sufficient evidence of a refined and elegant taste
among the working-classes, of a love of beauty and a
search for knowledge to justify a commercial assooiation
in exhausting every device which art and skill can sug-
gest to gratify these tastes and propensities. Other cities
of Europe are rich in palaces, raised by hard earnings
extorted from the hands of a starving people. In London
alone shall the people built a palace for themselves, not
by compulsory tribute, but by free offerings, not to gra-
tify the caprice of a tyrant, but to obtain an honour-
able profit for money expended in promoting the im-
provement of mankind. It is a mistake to suppose that
commercial associations can only be employed in grati-
fying low and material wants. This will undoubtedly
be the case so long as the people have no higher or
nobler craving to gratify, but in proportion as they be-
come elevated by education and enlightenment, the obe
jects of such associations will rise also, and we shall find
a joint-stock company just as powerful an instrument in
the cultivation of tastes, and the promotion of science,
when once the masses have come to desire these things,
as in whirling us over the surface of the earth, or tear-
ing our path through the waves of the sea. The
commercial principle supersedes the necessity
of an Augustan age ; literature needs no patron
but the public; and philanthropy has nothing to ask from
the great so long as she can show an unexceptionable
balance-sheet. Probably the least felicitous part of the
proceedings of yesterday was the pompous enumeration
of the great men who honoured the undertaking by
their. patronage. We confess that if its success de-
pended on the smiles of the great instead of the favour
of the little, we should look forward to it with less
confidence. The real charm of the undertaking is,
that it is founded on a principle which dispenses with
such things, and they but little know of what spirit
they are of who seek to invest to noble a scheme
with additional attractions, by the recital of
an empty catalogue of distinguished names,
We are happy in the belief that the danger
which menaced this excellent undertaking from
the misdirected zeal of men who will not
remember that the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath, has passed away. To shut
up the building and park on Sunday afternoon wculd be
to the working classes of London an entire exclusion
from the benefit intended; and must almost, of necessity,
be fatal to the scheme itself. The experiment is yet to
be tried whether, by offering the working man innocent
and wholesome enjoyment, he may not be induced to
spend in the work of self-improvement some of those
few hours in which cessation from toil leaves him to feel
the full weight of unoccupied existence. Will those

HEALTH OF LONDOiV DURING THE WEEK.
.(From the Registrar-Generai's Report.)
The health of London in the week ending Saturday,
31st July, has been disturbed by the prevalence of
summer cholera and diarrhea, yet the deaths have
been 1,040, or 118 below the weekly average, which
irk the previous ten years was, when corrected for in-
crease of population, 1,158. 532 males and 508 fe-
males died in the week; the mortality bore most
heavily on early life ; for of 1,040 who died, 586
were children under 15 years of age, 289 were in the
middle stage of life extending from 15 to 60, and 165
were of the age of 60 and upwards. A woman at-
tained the advanced age of 96. One death in seven
occurred in a public institution : namely, 92 in work-
houses, 39 in hospitals, 6 in lunatic asylums, 1 in
plieon, Bin Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals. The
districts of Chelsea and Greenwich, as well as Ken-
sington and Wandsworth, experienced more than the
usual mortality.
During the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-pox;
2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccina-
tion. Fifteen children were left unprotected by their
parents,and din the victims of this negligence; 54
children died of scarlatina, which is prevalent; 34 per-
sons of typhus; 145 of consumption; 45 children of
convulsions; 31 persons (all, except two, adults) of di-
sease of the heart; 17 of bronchitis; 32 of pneumonia;
13 of enteritis; 14 of disease of the liver; and 25 cf
violence.
Diarrhoea was the reigning disease; it was fatal to 110
children, 7 adults, and 8 persons of advanced age. It
often approached in the severity of its symptoms to
summer cholera, of which 10 children, 4 adults, and:
persons over the age of 60 died. Here, as in epidemic
