MR. S. C. BALL'S RECOLLECTIONS.

A charming evening was passed yesterday be-
tween 8 and_lo o'clock p.m.,,, at No. 9, Conduit-
street, by an attentive and evidently delighted
audience (presided over by Sir Digby Wyatt) in
listening to the Personal Recollections of Mr. S. C.
Hall in regard to a number of his celebrated con-
temporaries, all of them deceased. Nothing could
really have been more animated or mure vividly gra-
phic than the delineations,of the famous authors who
were brought, one after another, in rapid succession,
before " the mind's eye " of each of those who had,
last evening, the privilegoof listening to the reminis-
cences of the accomplished Editor of the Art Journal
—a veteran man-of-letters, who, in his lifetime, has
either been himself the Author or the Editor of a
whole library of remarkable and most of them costly
publications. The quakeress Amelia Opie, the
bon vivant Theodore Hook, the stalwart Ebenezer
Eliot, and the gentle Thomas Hood—Sydney Smith,
whose powers was as the mingled sound of tram-
pets and ringing of joybells—Mary Russell Mit-
ford, who was (as L. E. L. described her) a
Sancho Panza in petticoats Hannah More,
Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, .Jam °
Montgomery, John Wilson, Coleridge, Cuvier,s
Lafayette, and a crowd of others, passed as it were
processionally before the assembled att litors as Mr.
S. C. II:111 spoke of then, in turn, depicting the:n
according to his own vivid and truthful recollections.
From first to last, Cie lecture was as delightful
as any we have ever listened to, and W 3 cannot
but earnestly hope, in the interests of the
general public, that Mr. S. C. Hall may be tempted
to repeat it, not once or twice only, but at regular
azatecl intervals in some accessible and suitable
4r..21, such as the St. James's-hall, or the Egyptian-
hall, Piccadilly, as among the number of our intel-
lectual and popular entertainments.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.

The annual soiree of the Evangelical Alliance was held
at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, the Right
Hon. the Earl of Chichester presiding. An address was
delivered by the Rev. Dr. Robinson on "The union of
Christians at the present time, with special reference to
international conferences of this Alliance, past and pro-
spective." The Rev. Dr. Phillip Schaff (delegate from the
American branch of the Alliance) and other gentlemen
addressed the meeting on the subject of the past and
future conferences of the Alliance, and the result of the
Christian work in Spain and other countries.

TIIE ROMANCE OP THE CITY.

One of the most interesting works which the
failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co. has called forth
is that by Mr. Stephanos Xenos, the Greek
merchant, whose extraordinary statements at the
time of the magistrates' committal attracted so much
attention. It reads like a romance; the style is racy
and vigorous ; real characters are described ; and we
are almost let into the inner workings of the minds
of those who have played so prominent a part in the
financial history of the last few months. If Mr.
Xenos may be trusted, the City must be worse than
it has ever yet been painted. Men in the sorest
straits to-day find themselves suddenly rich, and
have hardly time to grasp the fact ere they are as
poor as ever. The City—at least that portion of it
to which Mr. Xenos belongs—seems to do all its work,
to gain and lose its fortunes, on commissions.
Merchants getting into the hands of financiers, find, as
the.result of extended capital, that their businesses are
increasing, when lo ! commissions , blast their hopes.
Money, handed about in fabulous sums, seems to be
regarded much as a bag of marbles is amongst
schoolboys. We are told by Mr. Xenos of a
gentleman who three years before had to hold his
furniture in the name of his aunt, from prudent
considerations, ranked upon a bankrupt estate for
£15,000, and got it paid; how a versatile Greek
gentleman had led a rich banking firm into such
difficulties that they gladly paid his debt of £lOO,OOO
to keep things quiet; how one beat his breast because
he had allowed an opportunity to slip of asking for
£5,000 commission for walking across the street;
how the clerk bamboozles his master, and goes up
while the other goes down ; bow the clerk in his
turn becomes involved and goes to the dogs with a
troop of vultures hovering around for their " com-
missions." City life seems to have all the excitement
of the racecourse, all the respectability of philosophy,
with all the advantages of a training amongst those
whom it would perhaps be too severe to call " habitual
criminals."

THE LIBERATION SOCIETY.

In spite of the Reform Bill, the Liberation Society
do not seem to have much influence in Parliament.
1 At the annual meeting, just held, there were but five
M.P.'S present—Mr. Miall, Mr. Illingworth, Mr.
M'Laren, Mr. Dowse, and Mr. Richard. Remember-
ing the large number of .M.P.'s there are in the House
who represent clerical ideas and interests, there does
not seem much reason at present for Churchmen to
fear this much-dreaded association. At the same
time, the influence of the association is not to
be measured solely by the number of its
members who sit in Parliament. Mr. Morley,
for instance, although he has withdrawn from
the society, approves for the most part of the
measures which it supports. So do many other
31.1"5., including not a few who belong to the Church.
Mr. Bennett, of Frome, who has lately adopted Mr.
Bright's language, and stigmatised spiritual peers as
the offspring of an adulterous union, has not yet,
we believe, paid his subscription to Mr. Carvell
Williams. In the meanwhile, the association is very
jubilant at the rapid spread of its main principle—
the separation of the religious from the secular, of
the Church from the State, which is declared to be
gaining ground throughout all Europe.
The speech made by Mr. Henry Richard, M.P.,
and ex-Dissenting minister, was very animated and •
vigorous. He referred to that period of suspended
political animation five years ago when, owing to the
influence of Lord Palmerston, no legislation was
proposed to arouso the enthusiasm of the nation.
The young politicians of the period affected, and
probably felt, a cynicism and indifferentism with regard
to public affairs that was most injurious. The middle
classes also became quite indifferent ; and so, when •
Lord Palmerston went out and Lord Derby came in,
it was in their eyes merely the difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee. But as soon as Mr.
Gladstone succeeded to the leadership of the Liberal
party, all was changed, and such earnestness was
infused into the nation as it had not felt for
many years. The result was that, so far
as Wales was concerned, the Liberal party had
increased from 17 to 23 members, and the Conser-
vatives had decreased from 15 to 9. The landlords,
however, were taking vengeance upon the people,
especially upon the Nonconformists, and there was
at this moment a perfect reign of terror in some
parts of the principality. Mr. Richard concluded
his speech with an impassioned appeal to English
Nonconformists to support their Welsh brethren.
Sergeant Dowse followed in a very animated
speech, and avowed his wish that the experiment of
disestablishment in Ireland would be before long
applied to England. Mr. Miall had a very enthusiastic
reception, and moved a resolution expressing satis-
faction with the Irish Church Bill as a complete
fulfilment of the pledges made by Mr. Gladstone last
year.

LONDON CITY MISSION.

The report of the London City Mission, read at
Exeter Hall, shewed the number of missionaries for
the past year as 361. The receipts for the general
fund amounted to £40,288 12s. Bd., and for the disabled
missionaries' fund £496 4s. 10d., chewing an increase
over the preceding year of six missionaries, and in
the receipts of £3,823 158. 4d., while in the disabled mis-
sionaries' fund there is a decrease of £217 12s. 5(1. Thi
chairman congratulated the meeting on having, for the
first time for some years, a sufficient balance to carry them
through the coming year without anxiety ; but this was
mainly due to an anonymous donation of £2,000.
In order to give this sum a somewhat permanent form,
it had been decided to invest about £2,500 in annuities, so
as to provide some five or six additional missionaries.
The disabled fund was a source of great anxiety, for it was
not right to leave their servants who bad grown old in
their service perfectly destitute ; but in order to keep up
their allowances during the past year it had been found
necessary to withdraw £4OO from the general fund. He
(the chairman) hoped that subscribers to the society would
supplement their subscriptions with donations to this fund,
and so obviate the necessity of withdrawing from the
general fund for the future.

DEMONSTRATING AGAINST THE CHURCH DM..

The battle in the Commons is fought out. The
hope of the opponents of the Church Bill is now in
the Lords. To encourage them in rejecting the bill
a series of demonstrations—commencing with the
one at St. James's llall—is being held throughout
the country. Two were held in London on Wednes-
day. At one of these Mr. Morgan lloward, the late
candidate for Lambeth, moved the adoption of a
petition praying the Lords to throw out the bill,
and the meeting passed his resolution. Do they
really mean to counsel that the Lords should put
themselves in opposition to the nation?

THE TOMB OF O'CONNELL.

It is just twenty-two years since O'Connell died, at
Genoa, leaving "my body to Ireland, my heart t.o.
Rome, my soul to heaven." In accordance with this
dying wish, his body was brought to Ireland, and.
was buried in Glasneven Cemetery. A most elabo-
rate memorial of him was planned. It was designed
by Petrie, the well-known Irish archfeologist, and was
to consist of—" first, a church on the ancient model.
which should serve as a mortuary chapel; next, a
lofty round tower, surmounted by the cross, which,
while -it could be seen from afar, would bring back
the old religious associations of the land ; and lastly,
the group was to be finished by a monumental cross."
The erection of the churchand the cross was postponed
on the ground of want of funds, and it was finally
determined that the tower alone should constitute
the O'Connell
.monument. But even this imperfect
adaptation of Petrie's idea has by no means secured
such a preservation of the Liberator's remains as
might have been expected, A committee recently ap-
pointed describes the vault in whichthe body lies as in
a very sad condition. It is now proposed to remove •
the body to an altar tomb at the foot of the round

REPUBLICAN PLOTS IN ITALY.

Tho Florence correspOndent of the Independance Belga
says that a conspiracy, similar in every respect to those
revealed at Milan and Naples, has been discovered at the
Italian capital. Heaps of Orsini bombs have been found,
and several arrests have been made. It is reported als
that the police have captured certain conspirators at
Genoa, and even at Turin. None of these discoveries,
says the writer, is of a serious character, but naturally
enough they excite great attention.

The long fluctuating negotiations between the Italian
Ministry and the company of Italian bankers who
obtained a concession of the tobacco monopoly have been
definitely broken off. The plan under consideration was
to raise a loan to cover the floating debt of Italy on
security of the Church property. The Journal d a Havre
says it is now contemplated to convert the ecclesiastical
estates into a domain, and to raise a loan on the security
of that new property.

Dili. LOWE AND THE MONEY MARKET.

The Economist points out that Mr. Lowe's con-
temptuous indifference of the money market is
exceedingly unjust. He said, "If the merchants
choose- to erect a 'presiding • deity of discount, they
must maintain it themselves, and not ask the
Government." But it was the Government, not the
merchants, which set up the Bank of England.
That institution was created for the benefit of the
Government. " The Government gave the Bank the
monopoly of metropolitan issue, of a limited liability
in England, and of the public balances; and these
gave it its peculiar position, and made it, for bate'
or worse, the depository of our main banking reserve.
It is • the pivot of Lombard-street, and the State
made it the pivot, and must therefore treat it as
such."

MR. CUICEUESTER FORTESCITE.

The latest rumour respecting the Chief Secretary
for Ireland is that he is to receive a peerage, but to
retain his present position, and that an Under-Secre-
tary will be appointed to represent his chief in the
House of Commons. Another report, however,
states that he will positively give up his post as soon
as the Irish-Church Bill is safe.
