THE REFORM MEETING IN THE CITY.—The ad-
journed special meeting of the London Working
Men's Association was held last evening in the Brougham
Dining-hall, Fleet-street, Mr. G. Potter in the chair, to
receive the report of the deputations appointed to wait
upon the corporation respecting the city meeting on Re-
form. The chairman said it would be recollected that the
last meeting decided to call an open air meeting either in
Guildhall-yard or in front of the Royal Exchange.
In deference to the expressed objection of the Lord
Mayor, the intention of holding the meeting in the
latter place bad been abandoned. The Secretary
then reported the proceedings of the deputation. The
Lord Mayor then declined to give a definite answer, being
uncertain how far his powers extended. In consequence
of this doubt the deputation on Thursday waited upon the
Court of Common Council, and having seen the chair-
man of the City Lands Committee, under whose con-
trol the arrangements connected with the Guildhall
aro placed, that gentleman informed the deputation
there was no doubt among the law officers of the Corpora-
tion as to the power of the Lot d Mayor to grant the use of
the Guildhall for any purpose he thought proper, but that
on all debateable questions it was usual to support the re-
quest by a requisition signed by some 40 or 50 liverymen,
thus relieving the Lord Mayor of much responsibility. This
course had been adopted, a requisition had been prepared
and signed by some of the most influential men in the city,
headeded by Mr. S. Morley, and would bo presented on
Saturday (this day) to the Lord Mayor, with, it was ex-
pected, a successful result. One thing was quite certain, a
working men's meeting would take place in the city in a
few days, either inside or outside the Guildhall. Mr. Glasier
moved, and Mr. Troup seconded the adoption of the report,
and the resolution was carried. A discussion ensued as to
whether the open-air meeting should be called at once, but
it was eventually decided by a largo majority to wait' the
reply of the Lord Mayor before taking further action in
that respect. After some further business the meeting ad-
journed.
NOT A FLATTERING LIKENESS.—TWO friends
meeting, one remarked, " I have just met a man who told
me I looked exactly like you." " Tell me who it was, that
1 may knock him down," replied his friend. " Don't
trouble yourself," said he, " I did that myself at once."

Some information has at length appeared on what
occurred last week in Portugal. The Jornal de Contercio
of Lisbon says:—" It is indubitable that a discovery has
been made of a conspiracy in more than one regiment, and
that some officers are compromised. The Government has
taken measures to maintain public order. We do not know
what the flag of the conspirators was. The Government
could not yield to any pressure, and is sure to have the sup-
port of all honest patriots ; let it but be energetic, and it
can count on the entire nation."

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A LIVER-
POOL CASHIER.—WiIIiam Henry Harris, cashier to Messrs.
Schilizzi and Co., Greek merchants, was charged before the
Liverpool magistrates on Wednesday with embezzling
£1,267 belonging to that firm. The prisoner had been.lo
years in their employ. The case was remanded.
DUBLIN EXHIBITION PALACE.—The great attrac-
tion here at the present moment is Mr. Levy, the celebrated
cornet player. This performer every evening calls forth
the most enthusiastic applause.

LocAL ACTS OF PARLIADIENT.—The number of
local acts passed in the session up to the present time is
162 out of 633 petitions lodged at the Private Bill-office.

THE REFORM CLUB.—The drainage of the Reform
Club-house being in a very defective condition, and calcu-
lated to seriously affect the health of the members, an ap-
plication has been made on the part of the club to the
vestry of St. James's, Westminster, to undertake the
drainage of the house, and yesterday at the meeting of the
vestry—Mr. Churchwarden Burt in the chair—on the re-
commendation of the Works Committee, it Was unani-
mously resolved "that the application be not acceded to.

to heap coals of fire on; their heads by showing the grand
spectacle of a Christian nation actuated by Christian prin-
ciples. If England is involved in war, I don't want to see
a single ship go out of our ports to destroy her commerce,
and over the Canadian border I do not want a single cot-
tage harmed. 1 want them to feel their evil overcome by
our good. The way to live in peace is to be better than
your enemy—in his opinion, not yours." After enlarging
somewhat on this point, Mr. Beecher paused, and looking
around, with a humorous glance, continued :—"I don't
knowwhether I'd better make any further application of
this principle or not. I consider the doctrines brought
forward in the House of Representatives by Mr. Stevens
—though followed in their entirety, thank God ! by very
few—to be doctrines of Belial, leading to destruction. The
North had a chance to show grace, and love, and magnani-
mity. How I longed to see it! Both Congress and the
President should have been pressed to Union. I had
hoped to see the North showing her superiority in
Christian nobleness and generous forgiveness. But I have
been disappointed. It has not been done. You can no
more change rebels to loyal men by casting them out and
turning them away than you can convert the wicked by
building up a wall of separation between them and the
good—shutting them out from the very influence that
should be brought to bear upon them. 'lf thine enemy
hunger, feed him ; if he thirsts, give him drink, for in so
doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. Be not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.' There,
go; vote that. You have been talking it long enough ;
do it. You have keen praying it long enough ; try it."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING-FRIDAY.

The Queen's Plate, some Matches, and the usual £5O
Plates were the meagre programme of the concluding day
of as pleasant a little July as we ever remember to have
assisted at—not a very brilliant one, but still having its
special feature of interest in the meeting of the two fillies,
which went far to redeem a good deal of mediocrity. As
we have observed before, we do not see occasion for a
fourth day, but really Newmarket and the other side of the
Ditch are such very pleasant places injuly that we cannot
find it in our heart to find fault with the arrangement.
About the only turn backers had was with Rus in Ilrbe in
the Two-yr-Old Handicap, over the Chesterfield course,
who really was a good thing, the only other out of the
large field backed being Scour de Charite, one of Mr.
Pryor's, who came too late to the post on Tuesday. The
Queen's Plate, for mares, over the Round Course, which
has often fallen to Baron Rothschild, the Oaks mare Tor-
mentor won, amid such a moderate lot, very easily. There
was a slashing race for the 100 sovs Plate between Pirate
Chief and a fine-looking colt by Yellow Jack—Verona,
who, if we mistake not, has the makings of a good horse
about him, and will improve with time. The two singled
themselves out as they got to the top of the hill, and strug-
gled home so locked together that nobody but Mr. Clark
knew what had won. Standing near the chair, we thought
it looked very much like a dead heat; but Mr. Thellusson's
colt managed to get his nose in first, and a short head re-
warded Fordham's riding.
There was but little speculation at Cambridge en route.
They took 7to 2 about The Special, but Nu did not go so
well as she has done. There were indications of Lucifer
coming into tfie front ranks, bat really there are so many
ups and downs in the market, and so very little seems
known as to owners' intentions, that we hesitate to give
an opinion as to the real state of the market. We append
a list of quotations, and they must speak for themselves.
