METROPOLITAN DISTRICT RAILWAY
COMPANY.
At a Special General Meeting, held at the Offices of the
Company, No. 6, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street,
on Thursday, the 17th May, 1866,
THE EARL OF DEVON in the Chair,
the Advertisement calling the Meeting having been read,
it was unanimously Resolved—
That the Bill now submitted to the Meeting, intituled
" A Bill to confer additional powers on the Metropolitan
Railway Company : to enable such Company to alter and
improve portions of their authorised Works, and to ac-
quire additional Lands: to confirm or authorise Agree-
ments with other parties ; to extend the time for com-
pleting certain Works ; to amend the Acts relating to the
Company, and for other purposes," be and the same is
hereby approved.

cratic element in Congress we may hope to get an
Assembly more inclined to listen to reason, and
all parties will, before long, have learned by expe-
rience the value of the Treaty, and the folly of
damaging so valuable a trade. We may hope be-
fore long to see the whole commercial arrangements
between the United States and the British pro-
vinces put on a new and satisfactory footing—a
result which will be expedited by the realisation of
the long-deferred scheme of the confederation of

Metropolitan Poor-law Guardians,

The second public meeting of metropolitan guar-
dians was held in St. James's Hall yesterday after-
noon. Major Lyon was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
alluded to the objects which they had in view in
• calling these meetings. There recently had been
considerable agitation on the subject of metropoli-
tan infirmaries, but a great many of the statements
made at the various public meetings had not been
made according to fact. (Hear, hear.) One of
those meetings had been presided over by Lord
Carnarvon, who, he believed, had the welfare of the
sick poor at heart. At that assemblage the Arch-
bishop of York also made a speech, but he had
acknowledged that he was almost ignorant of the
subject on which he had been treating. (Applause.)
Adverting to the president of the Poor-law Board,
he (the chairman) was afraid that Mr. Villiers
looked at the board of guardians very much through
the spectacles of Mr. Farnall, who looked upon them
as a poor body of men--(hear)—men of such nar-
row minds and in such a situation in life that they
did not deserve the name of gentlemen. (Applause.)
In conclusion he stated that the Archbishop of York
had promised to introduce a bill in reference to the
matter, and it was on this account they had been
called together. ThP. J-
trol of parochial management, and placing them
under a central or imperial authority, would be sub-
versive of the principles of local self-government,
and that the collecting together of the sick paupers
in large hospitals, containing 1,000 beds each, would
not be conducive either to the cure or the wellbeing
of the inmates." He supported the motion at some
length, and contended that there was no evidence to
show that local self-government had been or was
justly obnoxious, or that there was any truth in the
charges of cruelty or perverseness which had lately
been brought against its public management. He
deprecated the idea of placing paupers under the
management of a self-elected body of commissioners
and was of opinion that no advantages would accrue
from such a course.

Mr. TAVERNER, of Marylebone, seconded the
motion.

The Rev. S. HANSARD, rector of St. Mary's,
Bethnal-green, said that, as a newly-elected guar-
dian, he thought the new association had done much
good, and his vestry had adopted some of its
recommendations with great success. He thought
it was time some alteration should be made in
the present system of poor-law administration, when
St. George's paid 4d, in the pound, and Deptford
7s. 7d. He moved, as an amendment, " That the
meeting considers the present system of administer-
ing relief to the sick poor is capable of reform, and
holds it to be the duty and interest of all guardians
to give unprejudiced consideration to any plan of
reform which may be proposed by the Poor-law
Board."

After a long discussion, the amendment was lost,
as was another of a similar character, and the original
motion was carried amid some laughter.
The meeting then broke up.

The Letter-Carriers and the Sabbath.

The following memorial has been addressed to the
Right Hon. Lord Stanley of Alderley, her Majesty's
Postmaster-General :
" The memorial of the members and friends of
the Working Men's Lord's-day Rest Association,
adopted at a large meeting held in Exeter Hall, on
Thursday, the 17th of May, 1866, the Right Hon.
the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair,
" Sheweth,—That many of the provincial letter-
carriers and rural messengers are compelled to
labour many hours on Sundays, walking long jour-
neys in all weathers with considerable burdens.

" That such continuous labour is highly injurious
to their physical and moral welfare, it being gene-
rally admitted that one day's rest in seven is neces-
sary to recruit the energies of the body and mind.
" That the letter-carriers feel the Sunday work
to be a great and grievous hardship.
" That there is no real necessity for the Sunday
delivery of letters, seeing that London, with all its
momentous interests, and other places, dispense
with the Sunday delivery.
" That the rule which provides that a rural post
shall be discontinued on Sundays at the request
of the receivers of six-sevenths of the Sunday cor-
respondence is unfair, seeing that questions of mo-
mentous importance in the Houses of Parliament
and other public bodies are decided by a simple ma-
jority.

" That the notice to postmasters in the Postal
Official Circular of April, 1866, which directs that
'no attention shall be paid to any request for the
discontinuance of a Sunday delivery which the post-
master may have reason to believe has resulted
from the solicitation of the letter-carriers,' is a direct
violation of the published rules in the Postal Guide,
which declares that any person can have his letters,
&c., retained in the post-office on Sundays, and in-
flicts needless toil on the letter-carriers by requiring
them to deliver on Sundays the letters of persons
who do not wish them to be delivered on that day.
44 That the example to the nation of the Post-
office employing its servants on Sundays is decid-
edly bad, and the tendency of Sunday letter de-
livery is to tempt men to work themselves

A LOST CITY FOUND.—General Lyon, late of
the Confederate Army, is said to have discovered
another lost city of Mexico, in the district called by the
Indians Metaltaloyuca, situated above 100 miles west of
Tuzpau in the state of Vera Cruz. Trees, hundreds of
years old, are growing amidstthe ruins. The walls of many
houses are standing, and on them are paintings and other
ornaments, and carved doorways and images abound in
every street. There are several temples, and a statuette
was found, upon the reverse of which was,a cross. The
doors of the houses are generally closed with huge blocks
of stone, and there are other indications that the abandon-
ment. of the city was due to a preconcerted movement.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
There not being 40 members present, the house ad
journed.

ITALY AND THE CONGRESS.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
FLORENCE, May 25.

The consent of Italy to take part in the Con-
gress is declared not to be dependent upon the
wording of the invitation, inasmuch as the Italian
Government considers it certain that the neutral
Powers can have in view no other solution of the
Austro-Italian difficulty than the cession of Venetia.
The Chambers of Commerce of Florence, Turin,
Milan, and other towns have forwarded petitions to
the Senate against the proposed tax upon Italian
Rente.

principle of non - intervention long
every-day life. It is true that she proclaimed the
ago, but she
made Greece and Belgium exceptions to the rule ; '
she fought in the Crimea • she did not allow Italian
unity to be consummated without talking strongly
of her interests in the Adriatic; she was twice on the
point of being involved in the American war ; and
she did considerable damage to all concerned by the
course which she pursued in the matter of Sleswig-
Holstein. To tell the plain truth, she has been
directly engaged in most of the wars of modern times,
and even the few important exceptions found a strong
minority of her people urging a policy of intervention"
The principle of non-intervention is not yet the
settled policy of England. She is exposed to strong
temptations, and she is still likely to break over
occasionally. We earnestly trust that she will keep
out of the conflict which is now impending. 11
France be aggrandised on the Rhine, let England
aggrandise herself by giving the best possible govern-
ment to Ireland. If Russia tend to the Southward,
let the masses of England tend upward by the
rapid diffusion of education and moral culture.
Let every energy be strained to endear the
Government of the Queen to all her subjects,
and with moderate preparations for defence there
will be little reason to fear the predominance,
France or of Russia. On the other hand, a
little
diplomatic intermeddling will often lead to a false
position. Placed in a false position, England rnigh,
possibly drift into a war, in which she would fight
to a disadvantage and find at last that she coml.
not prevent the progress of her rival. The scale
once turned in this rude manner, might not recover,
its balance. England would then lose at once and
for ever her place among the first nations of the
world. If birth and childhood, youth and
middle age, decay and death, are appointed to na-
tions as to men, England has passed into middle age
mid scenes of strife. Let not the long and happYra,rs
before her be embittered and shortened by
troubles and anxieties, the dangers and disasters, °
unnecessary contention. She has a vigorous an",
wealthy son, she has younger children that still need
her care. Let her feel kindly towards him—let her
treat them with motherly affection—let her ways
be ways of pleasantness and her paths be paths
peace. Then, if in extreme old age her body decal,
she will still be strong in her children ; if lig
head be hoary, and her limbs be weak, she will
receive the greater respect ; and if at last, in the
fullness of time, she must meet the grim destroyer,
Death, she will conquer, and live for ever in her
offspring.
