THE ASSOCIATEb CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE.

The autumnal meetings of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce opened at Bradford, yesterday, Mr. S. S.
Lloyd, presiding. A resolution was passed to petition
the House of Commons for a select committee to inquire
into the mode of assessing property and income tax, and
into the principle on which the tax is now levied on pre-
carious incomes. A resolution was also passed to amend
the new Bankruptcy Act, by requiring the debtor to fur-
nish a list of creditors and estimates of assets to each
creditor. Another resolution was adopted demanding
compulsory. registration of partnerships. The draft of a
bill to provide a Tribunal of Commerce was considered
and approved.

FUNERAL OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES

O'DONNELL.

The funeral of Major-General Sir Charles O'Donnell
took place at Limerick yesterday afternoon, the body
of the old Peninsular veteran having arrived there from
Colchester, where at the advanced age of seventy-seven
he had died. It had been resolved that Sir Charles should
be interred with military honours, but his dying request
being that his funeral should be strictly private, this
intention was abandoned. For a number of years the
deceased was colonel of the 10th Hussars.

THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER AND LORD

ROBERT MON,TAGU.

The Duke of Manchester has been addressed by the
Huntingdonshire Protestant Defence Association on the
subject of Lord Robert Montagu having joined the
Roman-Catholic Church. The association has asked his
grace's views on the advisability of urging his lordship to
resign his seat for the county, and has received the following
reply :
" Kimbolton Castle, St. Neots, November 19th.

Sir,—l am desired by the Duke of Manchester to ac-
knowledge his Grace's receipt of the letter dated the 17th
instant, bearing your counter-signature, on the subject.of
the recent perversion of Lord Robert Montagu
to the Church of Rome. The Duke desires me to say
that as a peer of the realm it would not be becoming in
him to take any action in the matter affecting his lord-
ship's position as a member of the House of Commons;
his Grace wished it to be fully understood that no one can
regret more deeply than he does Lord Robert's secession
from the Protestant faith.—l have the honour to be,
J. FREER THONGAR, Secretary.
Read Adams, Esq.

THE EDUCATION MOVEMENT IN MON-
MOUTHSHIRE.

Yesterday afternoon an influential county meeting was
held at Newport, Monmouthshire, to consider the Educa-
tion Act. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort presided ; the
Bishop of Llandaff and Lord Tredegar were also present.
The Bishop of Llandiff proposed that it is highly impor-
tant at the present crisis to make special efforts for the
religious education of the children of the poor. He briefly
recapitulated th 9 provisions of the Act, andAtated that
Churchmen having hitherto borne the burden of 75 per
cent. of the education of the country, they wished to
make an effort so as not to lose their educational position.
He opposed the rate-supported schools on the
ground, of expenses stating that the, heaviest
burdens . would fall upon real • property ; and on
that conviction%e held that the working of school boards
would cause great party feeling mid strife. The Rev.
Samuel Kennedy, an independent minister, moved an
amendment supporting the formation of School Boards.
He argued that the accommodation for Church schools in
the district.was in excess of the population connected with
the Chnrch. The amendment was negatived by a large
majority. The Rev. J. S. Harding gave statistics as to
the amount of educational accommodation required ; and
it was resolved to meet the deficiency in the agricul-
tural districts by voluntary subscriptions which should be
raised in aid of the Llandaff Education Society. The
amount required excluding Newport was £l,OOO. £1,500
was subscribed in the room, the Duke of Beaufort giving
2500.
