SIR C. DILICE AND SIR H. HOARE AT CHELSEA.  On Monday night, bir Charles Dilke and Sir Henry Hoare, the members for Chelsea, met their soustituents at Chelsea.  Sir Charles Nike, who was received with mud: sheer tog, expressed his regret that public interest had this year been once more diverted to foreign affairs by the possibility of war with America. The Government, he thought, should have foreseen the difficulties of the case as they were seen by individualm ; and if we should, moreover, be plunged into war, and the devil's game should be played between the two most indepen. dent sad ovilieed Powers in the world, an lad ignant people would exclude from power, if they did not impeach the men through whose earelessuess, ignorance, and prejudices so fear. hi • calamity had been brought upon mankind. In the face of such a gigantic calamity as an American war, it was difficult to compose one's mind to speak of other things. Until a few weeks ago a man might say in England, not without ridicule, but without abuse, that his leanings were Republican. Now, however, any such declaration was dignified with the name of treason. This probably arose from the fact that those who in their writings asserted that the unanimous opinion of the people was favourable to monarchy, were well aware that there was a growing belief that a dire for many evils might lie the other way. He had himself been accused of treason and of making personal attacks on the Queen. He would not then repeat or strengthen the stategiants he had mode twice do lug the recess, but be would do so shortly in the House of Commons. Sir Charles then went on to ex- ' plain and defend some of the statements he 1 bad made on the occasion referred to. He bait I been accused cf having contravened the oath of allegianee taken by every member of the House. But be had not done so. The oath taken by mew. 1 hers simply amounted to a declaration that they would not rise against the law, but did not imply that they would not use all lawful means to change ; from it. The Queen herself had taken an oath, which she herself had departed when the 1 sense of the country required that the laws to ; which she had pledged herself should be changed. Besides in inquiry into the Civil List adminisd' tion, there were other subjects upon which I, posed to move this year in the House of mempor He meant to re-introduce his Publi, Commons Bill, with which he he, Lands and by the Land Tenure Reid in A- .4 been intrusted a bill to repeal the obnoxic. 6:iodation, to supped minal Law dinendmiw' ~us clauses of the Cricontinue to labour f• Act, and, above all, to the child:en of 5, the universal instruction of Sir Henry .4e people in free common schools. cheers tloare, who wasreceived with mingled .a hisses, said he entertained the highest orft .1; for the honesty amiability of his colleague, . had to sympathy with his Republican opinions. The system of government he approved was a Constitutional Monarchy, such as was possessed in England. In the ,iourse of his speech, Sir Henry said he regretted the Alabama complicationr, but had every faith that.the Government would main. tam n the national honour. He would not join ii any vote the object of which was to turn them out. A resolution of confidence to the hon. members was carried, as was also a special vote of thanks to Sir Charles Dilke for his votes against the Royal dowries and against the second reading of the Parks Bill.—The proceedings closed at a late hour.  Dire. Harriet Hicks, wife of the late landlord ra, the Borough Hotel. Middlesborough, committed suicide on Monday by cutting her throat. Whilst the number of fresh cases of Fmall•pol in Plymouth has decreased by over two thirds dun jug the past week the deaths have doubled.
