The following i ladies attended at the-urns, and earned the thanks ot all present:—Mesdames Booth, Cleal, Chambers, (2) Guy,Maynard, Morgan, Percy, Week;, and Misses Booth and Wikon. At the meeting held in the church Mr D. Goldie presided. The proceedings opened with the hjmn, "Glorious things of thee are spoken," and prayer by the Rev. Thomas Hodgson. Mr Booth conducted the choir, and Mr Parker accompanied on tbe | new harmonium. The secretary, Mr Walker, 1 read the financial statement for the past year, which showed : Income £42416s lid ; and expenditure to the same amount; tbe report however, shewed that the church had made considerable progress, and, within five years had liquidated more than £700 ot the debt on the building, The members by their weekly meetJngs,regnlar contributions^ and systematic work, had paid nearly £4 per week for five years, and if the same amount ot energy was displayed during the next five years, the Frauklin.road Church would be free of debt, Tbe chairman, Mr Goldie, gave a practical address, full of en couraging remarks, and elucidated the various items of the balance sheet; stating that they had a credit balance of £257 out side the minister's salary,, and Interest paid upon the debt ;He did not believe in spas midic efforts, but bad firm faith in systematic work. The present balance ot debt amounted to £787, which might De cleared off by the continued perseverance' of member*; he hoped also, that those who had hitherto stood by and grumbled, would in fature join the true .workers who bore the bnrthen of the debt The chairman told several interesting anecdotes, gathered by him in- his southern tour, and urged them all who dedred a-free church to put their shoulders to the wheel. Rev, Joseph Long (Alexandra-street), made an excej cent' and feeling address, congratulating' the Franklin Road church on its wondrous progress under financial difficulties. The ladies had worked nobly; it was emphati cally a working church. In all his experience, as a minister, he had never known its equal in energy and determination to swal low up their debt; their church was plain in a material sense, but beautiful in a higher meaning, Mr Long urged them to persevere in Christian fellowship, and not forget to keep the kettle boiling, for social tea-parties were powerful incentives to har mony and work. The other speakers were the Rev. Thomas Hodgson (United Freo Methodist Church), Rev. R.H. Dewsbury, (Wesleyan), and Key. James Guy, whose addresses were useful and Instructive; want <of space alone prevents the publication of an epitome of them, Mr Guy said the church was not quite so large, numerically, as it had been j still its general condition and religions spirit were healthier and stronger, the Sunday-school was more wet. tied, but he regretted that the members of the church did not rally round him at his monthly addresses to the teachers and chil dren; be should be with them another year and be trusted tho parsonage would then ba free to bis anscassor, The proceed ings throughout. were harmonious, several anthems were, .Bung, and the whole closed with votes of thanks and the benediction,

The story of Gladstone's retirement, started by the " Standard," was the excite ment of half a day. It has been publicly contradicted by Gladstone's friends,

The movement for English Land Reform may be represented, thm far, as a move* merit with conspicuous leadership and well defined purpose; bat nobody supposes that the programme of the Farmers' Alliance will betaken np ly either political patty. Lord Hartington's spench, on the night of Nov. sth, extinguished hopes expressed in some quarters that he might pat himself at the head of this agitation, based upon the principles of the Irish Land Aot. Harrington said he considered the present distress of English farmers due to the weather rather than to tha landlords ; bat he repeated his former declaration, that the farmer is entitled to relief by legislation from the present system so far as it is artificial and unsound, and added that he favoured legislative secnritT for the tenant's capital and labour, and the resulting improvements, but was opposed to the notion that, the tenant was entitled in consequence to improvements of-; fected under a priority of right in the soil. He argued that the bad times should b« fought through by tho 00-oparation of all classes interested in the soil, The English landlords are voluntarily making the tenants a reduction equal to the amount that will probably be enforced on the Irish land lords, The opinion ia generally expressed that the Government stands to-day UDqueation. ably stronger than when Parliament ad journed—thanks to the energetic Irish policy. The " Herald's " (N.Y,) London conrea. pondent has made extensive enquiries among the London bankers about tho Con* federate bond mania, aatl finds there is not a penny invested, and certainly not in the name of the Confederate Government, I'ha Bank of England does not accept invest ments from foreign Governments even if tho Confederacy bad any money to send at the timo, Tho English views on American policy have been much modified, The rumoured intervention of the United States between Chili and' Pern, ia regarded in. London as n just and necessary step, and in relation to

the Canal question, the public freely con cedes that if England has a right to control theGoyernment of Egypt, because the Suez Canal is oa the road to England, the Umted Government has surely a right to prevent European interference with a route directly affecting her interests in the Pacific. Andrew Marshal Porter, Q.C., succeeds William Johnson, as Solicitor General for Ireland. John McHate, Archbishop of Tnam, is dead. The new Dean of Westminster, Rev. Geo. Granville Bradley, in bis inaugural sermop at Westminster Abbay, claimed that Ameri can 3 hare common interest in the Abbey with Englishmen.

Arthur Lefroy's trial, for the murder of Mr Gold on the Brighton train, terminated at Maid3tone on the Sth Nov. The Court room wa3 crowded—a remarkable number of womenbeingpresent. Lord Chief Justice j Coleridge's summing up was strongly against the prisoner, and tended to throw discredit on the point on which the defence relied, viz., that Lefroy had not pawned a pistol, and he showed his entire disbelief in the prisoner's assertion that a third person was present in the railway car at the time of the murder. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. After the senteace had been passed, Lefroy pro tested bis innocence. At an influential meeting of the Central Chamber of Agriculture, held in London, Nov. 8, a motion in favour of "iair trade' was rejected.

Samuel Faulkner, a cotton agent at Cruouell (England) has failed for £60,000. The " Times," replying to the arguments of the Fair Traders, drawn from the pro gress of America, print 3 a long comparative statement, tending 10 show that Great Britain increased even more wonderfully. The "Times" estimates the money and trade lost to America, through the decline of her shipping, at £16,000,000 yearly, and considers an increase in the severity of American competition with European agri culture certain. The question whether it U wise to permit thii dependence on a j single foreign country, it says, is one which | may soon force itself npon the attention of• public men. i A Urge meeting of the tenants upon the estate of Sir John Eanis.at Athlone, on the 6th, unanimonsly resolved to demand an | abatement of their rent". In the eveat of , refusal, they will apply to the Land Court. There are upwards of 5,000 tenants on the estate. The landlords view the great re-! dnctions in rents that hare been made, with alarm, and apprehend that if the same principle is carried out their property will be confiscated to a large extent, and numbers of them ruined. They 1)611676 that the principle of the Commission adopted at Belfast in fixing rent will hold out a premium to in dolent and incompetent farmers to visit in dulgent landlords with penalties. The ninth of November was devoted to the Lord Mayor of London's show. It wai kept a3 a holiday and basines3 was sn3 needed. The new official went in solemn procession to Guildhall, with the usual ancient display, which drew immense crowds. There was an innovation, in the programme with the object of honouring the-American people, which was received with great enthusiasm. The Stars and Stripes were carried in the procession, pre ceded by a dram and fife, and the band of the Fourth BattalioD, London Militia, playing the "Star Spangled Banner." After a short interval came a, band from the training-ship Warrpite, playing "Yankee Doodle." The Americin flag was received with a general clapping of hands and cheers. The same honour was not conspicuously rendered to any other f eat me of the procession, except as the coaches of the new and old Mayors passed by. There Alexander McDonald, M.P. for Stafford, j and Secretary of the Miners' Association for Scotland, waa buried on the 7th at New Monkland, near Glasgow. Nearly all the miners ia Lanarkshire abstained from work in token of respect. was a demonstration as the procession passed the office of the United States Cable 1 Company; four young ladies waved Ameri can flags from window*, and there was loud and continued applause. At the Lord Mayor's banquet, in the evening, Gladstone, replying to the toast, " Her Majesty's Ministers," said : " I can discern sigas of improvement in Ireland. 1 believe the people of England are unani mously convinced it was necessary to take strong" measures in Ireland in defence of public law and private liberty. One ques tion, at least, has beei decided ; the people are determined to make a full trial of the Land Act I hold in my hand very signifi cant proof of the treatment to which the j Irish have been subjected by their so-called friend*. It is a notice proceeding from high authority, stating that anybody pay ing rent before the suspects are re leased, without consent of the Land1 League will be •'boycotted." Though I cannot yet state that throughout Ireland the covenants into which tenants entered are punctually performed, yet they are ' largely and increasingly performed. Those who decline their performance are generally those who are well able to fulfil their en gagements. 1 can »afely aay the Irish Will make use of the Land Act, which will be impartially administered. Referring ( to foreign affairs. Mr Gladstone said :— " Lord Granville will be able to draw a picture less charged* with anxious and critical features than that of a year ago. Afghanistan, instead of being broken into fragments, ia now under a single ruler. We are happy to think that peace reigns in South Africa." Beferring to the next ses sion of Parliament, the speaker continued : "There will be an early and urgent demand on the wisdom of Parliament, to consider effective means for meeting the great evil of obstruction, which has presented itself.' I would wish this question to be kept out of the region of party dispute." xn the interest of all parties, and in the interest of the nation and country, it is necessary the public business be regularly and effectively conducted." (Cheers,) Earl Granville also made a speech. He said, in discussing the settlement of the Alabama claims i - " Ever since the United States became an independent Power, there never has been a time when the same friendly feeling existed as exists now be tween- the two great English-speaking nations. I know of no more striking test than the feeling which has been shown of the sinceie' and deep grief in England ia regard to the death of President Garfield, and the devoted loyalty of Americans to our Queen."
