HEM FORDSHIRE EL EC PlON—This Day.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.I
This morning at ten o'clock Mr. Henry Heyman Toul-
man, the High Sheriff, proceeded with the election of
member to serve the county of Hertfordshire in Parlia-
ment, in the room of Sir Edward Balwer Lytton, Bart.,
who has been raised to the peerage.
The friends of Mr. J. Abel Smith met him shortly before
ten o'clock, in the open space opposite the Hertford In-
firmary, and conducted him in large numbers to the
hustings, which were erected at Plough Mead, at the east-
'
end of the town.

Here the Sheriff, having opened the proceedings With
the usual formalities, Mr. J. Abel Smith was put in nomi-
nation ; and, as there was no other candidate, he was de-
clared duly elected.

Mr. Smith, in acknowledging the compliment whichhad
been conferred upon him, paid a high compliment to his
distinguished predecessor in the county representation,
and referred to his own proceedings as a member of the
House of Commons as an earnest of his future course. B:s
expressed his intention of supporting Lord Derby's Go-
vernment.

The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
Sheriff.

The Sheriffs return was forthwith forwarded to the
Crown-office ; and Mr. Smith will, if he is so disposed, be
able to take his seat at the sittings of the House of Core-
mons this evening.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was ex-
tensive, and in fair average condition. The demand ruled
steady, and prices wore well supported. From our own
grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the
arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only mode-
rate, both as to number and quality. Prime breeds moved
off freely at prices fully equal to Monday last. Otherwise,
the trade was very inactive at late rates. The best Scots
and crosses sold at ss. Gd. to ss. Bd. per 81b. The supply
from Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire was about 1,000
shorthorns ; from Norfolk 200 Scots and crosses ; from
other parts of England, 200 various breeds ; from Scot-
land 48 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 50 oxen, cows,
and heifers. Towards the close of business some very
superior beasts realized ss. 10d. and Gs. per 81b.
There was a fair average supply of sheep in the pens,
but the quality of each breed was only middling. Downs,
half-breeds, &c., moved off freely at very full prices,
Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on
former terms. Lambs were in moderate supply, and in fair
request at full prices—viz., from Gs. Bd. to Bs. per 81b.
Calves commanded more attention on rather higher
terms. Top price ss. 4d. per 81b.
The demand for pigs was heavy at late rates.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FO
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. Tho Manager, &e.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstan-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will IN) required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and fend to the really
starving ? Tho smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

NORTII STAFFORDSHIRE.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern ; Col. Pearson in
the chair. _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN stated that he had only one bill
ready to submit for their approval ; it was a bill for
making a railway from Macclesfield to Knutsford
and Warrington, and for other purposes. It did
not involve any outlay on their part, and gave them
running powers over the proposed line from a junc-
tion at Macclesfield to Knutsford and the London
and North-Western Railway at Warrington, and
which might be of advantage to the company. The
bill was promoted by an independent company, and
would give them another outlet for traffic.

Mr. Burchell, -the solicitor, having read the
clauses affecting the interests of the North Stafford-
shire Company, a formal resolution approving the
bill was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was then adjourned to the 31st inst.
for the consideration of three bills promoted by
other companies.

Queen's Concert Rooms.

One of the most pleasant musical entertainments of the
week was the " Pianoforte Recital," by Miss Agnes Zim-
mermann, at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Thursday
afternoon. This young, but already distinguished, pianiste
acquitted herself splendidly in the four pieces which she
played, comprising Beethoven's well-known Sonata in A
flat, and Schubert's in A minor. This last, as also
Reinecke's Variations on a theme by Handel, struck us
as peculiarly piquant, and the execution and feeling with
which they were performed fully brought out their charac-
teristic beauties. The concert concluded with a sequence
of short pieces by Bach, Schumann, and Moscheles, all of
them full of brightness and interest. The most inveterate
" Anti-Schumannite" would have admitted the melo-
diousness of the morceau here presented. The
instrumental performances were varied by three
songs, pleasingly sung by Miss Whytoek, one of
these being by the fair pianist° herself—for Miss
Zimmermann is not only a player, but a composer,
both of vocal and instrumental music of no mean
order. We remember when some of these were per-
formed at concerts of the Royal Academy how much
we were pleased with them. We trust that at her
future concerts Miss Zimmermann will favour us with
more of her new compositions. The next recital is an-
nounced for May 24, and we invite our musical readers to
avail themselves of this opportunity. They will, we think,
agree with us that among the many distinguished players,
both English and foreign, who grace our concerts at the
present season, Miss Zimmermann holds a place in the
very highest ranks.

bay in reference to the supply of raw cotton. He drew a
most disheartening picture of the state of the peasantry it;
these districts, upon whom the rearing of this staple of
commerce so largely depended. Owing to the pressure of
the land tax they were kept in the position of serfs and
paupers, unable to raise the most trifling capital, and with
neither energy nor inducement to apply themselves to the
cultivation of the soil. He suggested a system of village
rents instead of allotting farms piecemeal to individuals.
This system he had himself tried with extraordinary suc-
cess, and he advocated it, as it would lead to a permanent
settlement, based on the principle of the Cornwallis settle-
ment in Lower Bengal in 1792. He concluded by moving
a resolution to the effect that the matter was deserving
immediate attention.

Mr. STANOTELD said that in 1862 a plan had been
laid down w:th a view to a permanent settlement of the
land tenure in these parts of India, and the result of it was
that they had a class of peasantry with whose industry no
other system could compete, for they had a personal inte-
rest in it, were daily gaining in wealth, and 'would soon ba
in a better position than the rest of the peasantry, who
really were serfs under the system which his friend advo-
cated. Tho plan new in operation avoided the admitted
defects of the Cornwallis system, which sacrificed the ih-
terests of the Government and of the peasantry to those of
a few proprietors. By uniting English capital with the
industry, sell-interest, and energy of the native cultivators,
they had established a system which in future would pro-
duce untold benefits to the millions of the people of India.
The motion was withdrawn, and the house went into
committee on the Civil Service Estimates.

A large number of votes, including the remaining items
in Class 3, "Law and Justice," were agreed to. Class 4,
"Education, Science, and Art," w.s, at the instance of Mr.
Bentinck, postponed until a future day; but the whole of
the votes in Class 5, " Colonial, Consulate, and other Fo-
reign Services," amounting in the aggregate to .f..508,4c/8,
were agreed to, and progress having been reported, the
house resumed.

The Fishery. Piers and Harbours (Ireland) Bill passed 'a

The remaining orders of the day were disposed of, atvi

certain things were not to be done, and those things were
done, he could not claim compensation for them.
Sir H. CAIRNS said—Suppose a landlord laid it down
that the Act of Parliament should not apply to a certain
lease that he might give, would that be considered as a
binding agreement?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said in
his opinion it would not.

MILITIA COMMISSION,

In reply to The O'DONOGHTTE,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said a great many of
the recommendations had been carried out, but some of the
recommendations still remained unfulfilled. If the hon.
member would state which of those recommendations his
question referred to, he would give him all the informa-
tion at his disposal.
THE CRISIS IN THE CITY.
Mr. DISRAELI begged to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether the report which was in general cir-
culation that the Government had given power to the
directors of the Bauk of England to suspend the Bank
Charter Act in reference to the issue of notes was correct.
Mr. MONK, in addition, asked whether, in the event of
a deputation from the Bank wailing upon him, he would
be disposed to entertain such a proposal.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
was no truth in the report that the Government had
sanctioned any suspension of the Bank Charter Act of
1844. Until the last two hours no representation had
been made to him with respect to the matter in the City ;
but for the last two hours he had seen many bankers,
and in an hour or two he was about to met
a depUtation from the joint stock banks. The
representation he had received was that there was an
amount of monetary distress in the City unprecedented in
the recollection of any one. No decision had been come
to by the Government as to the steps to be adopted, but
with respect to the representations that might be made to
Government he could only say that the most careful,
anxious, and immediate attention would be given. As
soon as his duties would allow him to leave his seat in the
house he should be in communication with those who
would be fully acquainted with the state of affairs in the
City, and he hoped that the result of their considerations
would be not only to bring things to a wise but a prompt
issue. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BAZLEY asked whether the right hon. gentleman
would state whether he was prepared to consider the advi-
sibility of suspending the Bank Charter.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply,
said that under present circumstances he thought it would
be better for him not to answer that question.
POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS IN FIFE.
Sir R. ANSTRUTHER called attention to the continual
complaints of the way in which the Fifeshire Eostal service
was conducted.

Mr. CHILDERS in explanation said sufficient accom-
modation was afforded to the district in question.

THE BALLOT

Mr. BERKELEY said he intended to bring forward the
subject of the ballot after Whitsuntide, but with no in-
tention of interfering with the Government measure of
Reform.
London, England, 1866-05-11

INDIAN BR..kNOH (LIMITED.)

The report of the directors states that Mr. Wilson,
the engineer, who had returned to India, wrote, on
the 17th of March last, after inspecting the Nulha-
tee line, that an increase of local traffic would seem
to be promising. lie alluded to traffic going to and
coming from short distances on the East Indian
Railway, and to the helpless state of block-up in
which the East Indian line was at present placed.
As long as this state of block-up on the 'trunk line
