HACKNEY.

Last evening Mr. Reed addressed a crowded
meeting at the New Town-hall, Hackney—Mr. G.
B. Woolley presided, and introduced Mr. Reed
as being a candidate equalled by few, surpassed by
none.

Mr. REED, who was received with loud cheers,
said he regretted very much to have to run a neck
and neck race with :nen of the same party ; he would
much rather have a fair stand-up fight with the
l'ory c tndidate. He wished to see him and hear the
programme of the Carlton Club, so that he might
learn wh Lt was the policy of Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Reed
then dwelt at great length upon the necessity of doing
justice to Ireland, showing at great lnigth the evils
endured by that unhappy country, quoting largely
from the report of the Irish Commissioners—show-
ing that they recommended to a grelt extent the cure
that Mr. Gladstone prescribed in full. He would
recommend that surplus funds arising from the
disestablishment, not strictly Church property,
should be devoted to the purposes of educating the
children of Irish parents, the introduction of manu-
factures, and the drainage of the country. Mr.
{teed then spoke on the home questions now agi-
tating the public mind, and said that the rate-pay-
ing clauses of the new bill must be repelled, vote
by ballot introduced, and a redistribution of elec-
toral pOwer provided for. Mr. Reed spoke with
indignation of the safeguards introduced into the
bill. What they must have was household suffrage
pure and simple. Taxation must be reduced, ex-
travagance prevented, and the glaring evils and
waste in Government expenditure looked after more
closely. We wanted another Joe Hume in the
House. Mr. Reed's views upon these and other
topics were received with loud cheers.
A vote of confidence, proposed by Mr. BOWSER,
seconded by Mr. HEATH, was carried by acclama-
tion.

CHELSEA.—On Tuesday evening, the Gth inst.,
Sir Henry A. Hoare addressed a very largo and in-
fluential meeting of electors at the Drill-hall, Col-
lege-street, Fulham-road ; Dr. Daniell in the
chair. Sir Henry spoke for an hour on the Im-
perial and local topics of the day, and was loudly
cheered throughout his speech, and at its close re-
ceived quite an ovation. A resolution pledging
the meeting to support Sir Henry was carried by
acclamation. Sir Henry afterwards addressed a
meeting in the Stanley Ward, where he received
the same hearty support.

GREENWICH.—Last night, at eight o'clock, Al-
derman Salomons, M.P. for the borough of Green-
wich, addressed a crowded public meeting of his
constituents, residing at Woolwich, Charlton,
and Plumstead, at the Lecture Hall, Woolwich.
After some remarks from the chairman, the
worthy alderman recapituated his views on the most
important public questions of the day as at a pre-
vious meeting held at Greenwich, and expressed
his intention of again supporting Mr. Gladstone
with regard to the disestablishment of the Irish
Church. Various questions were then asked and
replied to in a satisfactory manner, and a resolution
pledging the meeting to support was unanimously
adopted.
WEST KENT.—On Tuesday evening the Liberal
candidates for West Kent, Sir John Lubbock, Bart.,
and Mr. Angerstein, addressed a numerously-
attended public meeting of the electors at the
school-room, Ingress-vale, Greenhithe. The chair
was occupied by Mr. J. B. White, and a resolution
pledging the meeting to support both candidates
was unanimously adopted.

CIIESTER.—A fifth candidate is announced for the
city of Chester. Dr. Bedford, the well-known
physical astronomer (recently alluded to in un-
parliamentary terms by Professor Pepper in
his Lenten Lectures at the Polytechnic) is
announced as a candidate in the Liberal
interest. Dr. Bedford resided for some years at
Chester, and made himself popular in connection
with the exposure of certain. Poor-law abuses, he
being a member of the Board of Guardians at the
time. lie contested Reigate some years ago in the
Liberal interest.

THE BRAZILS.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

On the 26th of August the Brazilians defeated
the Paraguayan vanguard, and on the 28th they
attacked and captured their fortified position to tho
left of the Tebiquary. Lopez, with a small escort,
had retreated to the neighbourhood of Assumpcion.
Prisoners say that Berger and others had been shot,
and that Lopez's two brothers had been arrested.
The Allies consider the movement of Lopez as equi-
valent to flight.

The United States gunboat Wasp had gone up to
the capital of Assumption, which was undefended.
The Wasp was followed by the Brazilian ironclads.

FEMALE VOTERS.—At the Sittingbourne revision
court on Monday, the revising barrister for East Kent, Mr.
J. D. Chambers, allowed 48 more ladies theprivilege of the
franchise, whose nameswere placed on the lists by the over-
seers, and he (the barrister) contended that he possessed no
power to strike them off, no objection having been made
against them. At the Ramsgate court last week Mary
Ann Bailey claimed to vote for the county in respect of
occupation of premises situate in the,division of the county,
aid attended in person to support her claim. After long
arguments, the barrister delivered a decision against the
claim, which was consequently struck out. Eighty-one
females are entitled to vote in East Kent and thirty- three
at Ashford.

certain person certain money, to wit, the sum of 55., as a
deposit on a certain bet, on condition of paying a certain
sum of money to the said person, on the happening of a
certain event and contingency of or relating to a horse
race. Additional warrants charged the prisoners with as-
sisting in conducting the business of a certain place in
Hood-street, then and there opened, kept, and used for the
purpose of other persons betting therein upon certain
events. They wei =maul 921 bail till to-day.
