WORKING MEN'S CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRA-
TION IN SCOTLAND.—Yesterday afternoon a depu-
tation of working men from Edinburgh waited upon the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing-street, and pre-
sented a numerously signed requisition for the right hoe.
gentleman to receive an address at a public meeting in
Edinburgh on the occasion of his visit to that city next
week, complimenting him on the success which attended
his labours in the last session to extend the suffrage to the
working men of England, and to hail the prospect of A
similar boon for Scotland. The deputation was introduced
by Mr. 0. Scott, of Edinburgh. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer, having listened to the observations of the de-
putation, who promised him a most effective demonstra-
tion of the working classes, consented to attend the meet-
ing and receive the address, bat stated that he was unable
to fix the time until his arrival in Edinburgh. The right
hon. gentleman acknowledged that he formed a very high
opinion of the superior intelligence of the working classes
of Scotland, and attributed this in some measure to the
educational system of Scotland. Referring to the subject
of parliamentary reform, Mr. Disraeli observed that he
believed the act of last session would prove satisfactory to
the country at large. The Scotch bill which he should
introduce next session would bo based on the same prin-
ciple as the English act, and he had the utmost confidence
that with that support from the Scotch members which
they might reasonably expect, her Majesty's Government
would bo enabled to carry the measure, which he was
glad to find was likely to prove satisfactory to the people,
of Scotland. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in conclu-
sion, expressed the gratification he should experience on,
his visit to Edinburgh, alike for the banquet, the honours
which the city and university proposed to bestow upon
him, and from meeting the working men in largo numbers!
as arranged by the deputation.
A SCENE AT MR. SIMS REEVES' BALLAD CON-
CERT AT MANCHESTER.—The Manchester Examiner, in a
notice of Mr. Sims Reeves' concert at Manchester on Satur-
day evening, says :—" Mr. Sims Reeves was, of course,
rapturously received. One-half of 'My Pretty Jane' be
had to repeat, after a slight resistance ; and a refusal to
I comply with a demand for a repetition of The Bay of
Biscay' led to a most unseemly disturbance on the part of
the public nuisances who cry Encore.' Mr. Reeves came
on the platform, bowed, and retired, but with no effect.
Mr. Duffield then appeared, apparently with a few words of
explanation, but the shouting and hissing were frantically
continued, and he had to retreat unheard. Finally, Mr.
Land, as accompanyist, advanced to the pianoforte, and
Mr. Reeves led on to the platform Miss Poole, who was to
sing the next song, The Dashing White Sergeant.' Here
Miss Poole was left, waiting to sing her song, and, to the
discredit of that portion of the audience just referred to,
they refused to hear her, and continued a series of yells
and hootiugs that would have brought disgrace on the
lowest concert-room in the kingdom. There was nothing
after this but for Mr. Reeves to return and lead Miss Poole
off the platform; and, in the midst of much din, the con-
cert broke up unfinished, two pieces remaining unsung."
ILLEGAL DEMAND OF TOLL FROM A VOLUNTEER.
—William Allen, a collector of tolls at the Stone-
house-bridge gate, was summoned before the magistrates,
at Stonehouse, near Plymouth, on Saturday, for having
unlawfully demanded and received the sum of one half-
penny from William Pearne, a volunteer soldier. Mr
Pearne stated that he resided in Stonehouse, and on Thurs-
day, the 10th inst., he left home for the purpose of going
to head-quarters to join his company, who were to bo
taken to Bovisand, to be drilled in shot and shell practice.
When he came to the Stonehouse-bridge gate he was going
to pass through, as he had frequently done before, when
the defendant caught hold of him by the wrist and stopped
him. He told him he was on duty, but the reply given to
him was that when volunteers went through the gate singly
they had to pay, but when in a body they were exempted.
Ho supposed ho was detained some five minutes. The
defendant denied that he caught hold of complainant by
the wrist, and said that when Pearne came to the gate ho
did not claim exemption. The Bench inflicted a fine 01
108 6d and 9s 6d costs.

day.—A young labourer, named Burbridgo, quarrelled a
fortnight ago with another labourer, named Martin, and

street Castle publichouse, where the contention was re-
newed. They adjourned to the Rose Inn, but the landlord
turned them into the street. A free fight took place, and
ultimately Martin was hoard to say to a man who WO
holding his jacket, "I'll give tho —my knife." Bur-
bridge thereupon rushed upon Martin, who plunged a long
knife into his antagonist's breast, just below the region Of

stabbed me !" and shouted "Murder!" and fell into the
arms of a friend. Dr. Williams was aeon in attendance,

and at once pronounced the case to be hopeless. As the poor
fellow was dying, in reply to Dr. Williams, Burbridge said

roro, and ho added,
