THE GREAT MEETING IS HYDE PAR]
The g?est unwashed in London had a meeti
in HydejPark on the 6tb of May. These meeting
our readers will uEdarstand, are. not for the pi
pose-of discusing any question or questions; 1
dohberaj?ag^ ^advising; nor for the nominati
of candyatcs^br.ovon for tho ; "adoption oi
platfornt" Nothing of all this. They are "demc
strattons" get up^by dem agogio agita tors, and th?
only en?^aad aim to ratimidate the Qovernmei
and forc? Tt to pass a liberal Reform Bill. Amol
the speakers are not unfxequently found men ol
" different ^ass, who are th )re from mixed motive
While they1 arenot' insensible to the political a
vantage, to. be derived from tho good-will of
powerful an element of society, they, at the sat
time, indulge- the -consciousneBS of a nobler m
ti ve, in that they endeavor, by their voice and i
nuencc.to beep these surging and unruly wav
of popular Ca'priqe wi thin kw and bounds.
Tho meeting of the-6th of Blay in Hyde Poi
had been^JjwQg in. preparation, .and the Go ver
mont, apprehensive of a distar banoo, not to say
riot, had'detcrmined to forbid it ; and with a vie
of enforcing its : aathority, no less ? than 10,(X
men, cotk^bulary and 'soldiera, had been masse
' ia the irirmedint? riainity of the expected field i
strife. Thw.prohibition, gave thegroaterzest i
the deiQaws^tioBv and. was precisely what tl
leaders desired, most. Expectation was on tip ti
Cor the approaching: . wmflict; and when tho Go
ernmonf, at the last moment, withdrew its pn
hibition, and the police wcro only present aa th
conaervatdrs'of the peace, in case of any dis turi
ance, the mam interest of the occasion was gont
and the meeting- passed off not only quietly, bc
decidedly flat, accomplishing nothing beyond whs
had been dab?d?ieas of times before.
Of oourae tir? Liberal jourcalB pronounce it t
have tjeen^deaded'BTicoesa ; thus one of thor
estimates ^Somber,of those present at 200,(XX
whoo others' again*aver that there were in ai
not over 10,000 in Hyde Park. In BO wide a die
crepancy ii is not easy to arrive at a seeming!
correct conclusion.
Six different meetings were- in progress at th
asme tune, says the correspondent of the Ne t
York Tribune* and each one was so large that i
waa impossible far-more than a fourth of the num
ber to hear what, fell from tho various speakers
The same resolution was adopted at each stand
the mover' of it at the principal stand was th?
OTJOHOGHUZ. ?t was as follows:
"That thia meeting, while still adhering to resi
dentis! and registered manhood suffrage, protected
5the ballot, as the only really efficient measure
reform in the representation of the people, haili
with satisfaction the withdrawal, last Thursday
. evening, of Lord Grosvenor's proposed amend
ment, and the majority of eighty-one on the same
evening against the two years' reaidenoe clause ii
tho Government Edi, and earnestly calls upon the
House of Commons to make that bill a more ful
and honest measure for the extension of the fran
chiae, by expunging from it the rate-paying
clauses,'-fcf?ahring the bounty and county fran?
chisee o?iti e conncipla o f honsehold' suffrage, and
mtrodncmg A.jTOJBftoniJor jnvW...the vote to
lodgers, or else to reject that bill altogether."
Mr. BpALks was "the firet speaker. He said that
Reform was still in its infancy; that the Hyde Pa : k
demonstrations have had,their effect, os evidenced
by tho lafge majority o? eighty-one on the Thurs?
day pre vi ona against- the two years' residence
clause in the Government Bill, and for re during
the.period to one year, as well as by the with?
drawal of Lord GBOSVEHOB'B very objectionable
amendment in favor ot; s fixed voting franchise.
He then reviewed Tho several other clauses, insist?
ed on in tho above resolution, and concluded as
fallows:
Do not consider your work done until tho bill is
really jAs?^|d^a^8atIjBfa<3tory Bhape. Remember
bow often^ytm- hava boen deceived and disap?
pointed b?state i Do not put off your armor until

and prufd5n|Ky' is any .'man can do, admire tho
talents aj^ ^aj?acter ol Mr." Gladstone-[loud

dered to tho State, and much value the generous
impulse ie tra?-given lo this Reform question;
deeply also do I respect the character and value
the services and judgment of Mr. Thomas Hughes
-[choers]T-but in euobi a'matter as this I listen
on the other Bid? to the glonous utterances of our
great tribune. ?lohn Bright-(loud and proton ed
cheers]-and the many declarations of that proved
friend of freedom and popular rights, Mr. Peter
Taylor-[cheers]-upheld, aa I believe they are,
by the sympathy of John Stuart Mill and our
friend here present, the ODonoghue-[cheers]
and other real reformers; and in so listening, and
considering further what I heard and witnessed
last Friday evening, I felt. that it was tho impera?
tive dnty of ine League- to persevere in this de?
monstration, and I rejoice in the reBult. No, we
must not abate one jot of our labors until the re?
form we require isoompleted. Be you firm and
resolved and that reform wo shall have, in a real
nota mock, -amendment of the representation'
.{Loud and prolonged' cheersj
The ODOKOOKUX, however, made the great
?peech of the-eyeiuhg. He commenced by saying
that he had eotne thore as the President of the
Irish Reform Le igue, and assured his auditors
that the mimosa & the .Irish people were deter?
mined to co-operate with thom in the struggle for
political hberty. Ho then proceeded to animad?
vert upon tho odious class legislation of both Eng?
land and Ireland, and protested against the illibe?
ral comments' made upon tho position he and
others occupied in their relations with d?monstra?
tions like the present., In the course of his speech
be said: ( -
1 do not like to be suspicions, but when I hear
members of Parliament who attend public meet?
ings denounced, os 'Toarrag:demagogues in search

picted aa a person who should not condescend to
accept a popular cheer-who should be a cold,
fishy, clammy sort of fellow, without sympathy
for any one Qr anything, I can't help suspecting
-- that these are the opinions of men whose schemes <
of Befbrm wordd viot be very palatable to the 1
nation, and which can be mach more safely adro- !

. # * * * *
Thero woro many reasons which Induced me to
think that my presence' here this evening was
no :e88ary. First and; foremost, I felt it to be my
duty to come ats the President of tho Irish Bcform
League-[cheeta]-to do all in my power to pro?
mote that united action whioh I trust in God will
be our unavailirg policy in ibo futuro. [Cheers.]
Except for tho obligation imposed on me by the
office I hold. I might, like many others whoso
fidelity to reform is undoubted, b a Vc rcmainod in
the Home, where public business of great impor?
tance is being transacted this evening. My con?
duct, however, was influenced by other reasons.
Since the commencement of the session I have oc?
casionally attendod the meetings of the Jonncil of
tho Reform League, and the earnestness, ability
and single-mindednoss which I have witnessed
have inspired me with such respect-I may say
admiration for those who compose that Counc?
that I deem it an honor to stand by their side at
this crisis in the fortunes of the cause. [Cheers.]
What I want you to understand by my presence
hero is that I and my countrymen are iu earnest
that wo are determined to go forward with you to
tue end-with you to divide tho difficulties of the
struggle, and with you to reap the advantages of
the victory. [Great encoring.] Now, it may be
asked, "Is further agitation necessary ?" I answer
that it is [loud cheers, prolonged for several min?
utes], because the Reform Bili of the Government
is a mere delusion.
The O'DONOGHUE is a very forcible Bpeaker, was
listened to with great interest and attention, and
loudly and repeatedly cheered. Want of space
prevents our giving his remarksjin full. His speech
concluded, the crowd dispersed in the most orderly
manner.
The position of tho Government in regard to
this demonstration, and tho grievance which led
to it, will be gathered from tho following remarks
of Lord DERBY, made at a meeting of the sup?
port-era of h 8 ministry, held at his official resi?
dence in Downing street' (225 members were
present), a few hours after the meeting in Hyde
Park. !
Lord Derby, who was loudly cheered, commenced
oy explaining fully the plan the government in?
tended; to adopt with regurd to tue meeting .to be
held ih Hy de Park. He stated that though they
had been accused of vacillation and irresolution,
and especially Mr. Walpole, yet the course that
they pursued at the end was what they from the
very nrst determined upon, and was the united ac?
tion of the Cabinet, aud not of Mr. Walpole only.
He explained at considerable length the law with
regard to the rights ot the Crown to the park, and
how far such meetings os tho one in question woro
legal. He stated that, acting under tue advice of
noe only tho existing law officers of the Crown, but
also of all the previous legal advisers, they had
issued a proclamation, which was in the form of a
public notice, warning all persons against an in?
fringement of the law, and they had further made
a personal service of a notice upon all those per-,
sons who hadbsen advertised to speak, and all who
were about to take part in the proposed political dis?
cussion in the parir, notifying to them that, should,
they attempt to address the meeting,' they would
be liable to a civil'action' at law for trespass, and
Lord Derby stated that such actions would be im?
mediately- commenced against them. Ho added
that the law officers of the Crown had not only
advised this as the proper course, but aa the sole
course' that could be pursued according to statute
law. He was determined, while maintaining the
dignity of the Crown, not to illegally sndanger the
liberties of the subject. His lordship then alluded
to tho Reform Bili, and explained at length the
various bearings of tho question of the personal
payment of rates in full, expressing his opinion
that there could be no justification in exempting
the compound householders from the same liabili?
ty that waa common to ali other ratepayers, and
that ho considered that*the personal payment of
the full rite was a necessary barrier against
household suffrage pure and simple. Holding this
opinion so strongly as he did, wuatever the deois
ion of the House was- he. could not give way. He
then alluded to some new clauses which the Chan?
cellor of the Exchequer would introduce that eve?
ning, j
MB. GLADSTONE ARD THE LEADERSHIP OF THE
LIBERAL PARTY.
Mr. Gladstone has repented, and has consented
atiil to lead Her Majesty's Opposition. He makes
known his intentions in tho [olloiving letter, which
has been addressed io the daily papers : .
'?Sm: The communications widen have reached
me sinco the 12th of April with referenco to the !
division on that day, from i n di vi du ila, from the j
provincial press, ana especially from the chairmen I
' or other acting representatives ol' meetings in the
large towns aud elsewhere throughout the corni- I
try, have been, and continu? to be, so numerous
aa to place it beyond my power to acknowledge
them separately and in tho manner leonid wish. 1
therefore eeg the favor of being allowed to do it j
by this public reply, which I trust that those who
have -addressed me will be so good as to accept.
"As respects myself, I have reason to bo deeply
grateful for the terms in whioh these communica?
tions have been couched; and to feel that if I can?
not merit the confidence they express, still they
impose upon me even an enhanced obligation to

CRITICAL STATE OF BUSINESS IN LIVERPOOL.
Last week, our correspondent says, was one of the
most depressing and painful, with regard to busi?
ness iii Liverpool, experienced since, the panic, of
May, 1866. The majority of tho banks in the town
held very large stocks of cotton as security, and
tho''margin" being exhausted while tho market
was simultaneously declining, all the banks so
situated demanded an extension or an immediate
sale. Thia aggravated th? difficulty, and a de- I
elk e which would have involved many firma in ab?
solute ruin would have been the result had not the
spinners and manufacturera, whose 'stocks were j
getting. .low, taken advantage of the fallen
market and. bought largely. Aa .an-instance of.
losses which are sustained in the cotton business, I
we may state that one cargo of cotton bought some
lime ago, but which only arrived on Tuesday last
in Liverpool, has involved the owners, in conse
?uence ot the fall in the price, in a loss of ?16,000.
'he other trades of the port, including ship build- I
mg and chartering, are all depressed, while the
underwriters, who were in hopes that this year
they would have repaired to some extent the losses
of 1865, have been plunged still more deeply into
heavy liabilities from the fierce storms which have
prevailed in tho Atlantic during the past few
months. The gloomy weather which has been the
rule of late has put a decided check upon retail
business. With regard to tho cotton trade things
took a better turn on Friday, and the week closes
with a'more cheerful feeling, which it is hoped will
continue.-London Times, May 9.

. SAVANNAH, May 23.-Buring the past week the mar?
ket has been very quiet as lt generally ls about this sea?
son of the year. Merchants, however, looked for a better
home market this year, but the scarcity of money baa
had the effect of curtailing purchases, leoplei? the
country are constrained to buy as h ttl o aa possible, owing
to the difficulty fa obtaining acceptances, and, as a con?
sequence, our dealers feel it perceptibly.
EXCHANGE.-Thero has been very little offering this
week. Brokers, aro buying at par. and selling at Jial
premium.
GOLD-Has been more steady during the week, ? nd
rates remain unchanged. To-day wo give tho buying
rate at 135, and selling at 138al40.
COTTON-At the close of our last weekly report, hold?
ers were asidLg 27c for middlings, but the unfavorable
advices from Europe have had a very depressing influ?
ence on the market. .During the week but very little
ivas done, and the sales were hardly worth reporting. At
the close of business to-day the market was very dull,
ind the prices nominal at 24c for middling*.
In sea Island there is but little doing, there being no
Jemand for the finer grades. Some few sales or the
low grades havo been mado, and we may quote it nom?

Tho Now. York Evening Ait of Thursday, May 23
says :
The rumors, though authoritatively contradicted, o
the fail ure of the firm of La Pnyerro A: Brother, uf New
Orleans, have lieeu circulated here this morning, and
have helped to produce tho prevailing depression. Thin
effect has ulso been augmented by exaggerated state?
ments of the losses of our dealers in foreign exehango by
the suspension ol' Fraser, Trenholm ii Co. This firm
is believed to have assets to tho value of three to foul
millions ot dollars. The sterling bills of exchange afloat
are said not to exceed ?350,000.
Tho loon market ls cosy and on good securities the
raus for domand accommodation uro 6 V cent, with ex?
ceptional transactions ut 4 and 6. Commercial poper is
carefully scrutinized, oud the best bills pass at 6a6J j.
The accumulation ot capital seeking employment is large,
and as the flow of currency is sotting toward this city
thc money market is likely to work with increasing ease.

Goods trade has not been witnessed since the rebel guns
fired their first shot at Fort Smnter. Prices are down,

to feel tho pressure, and less desirable goods are neglected
almost entirely. low prices frighten rather than tempt
buyers. Prints at 12)?c and less are now offered tn all the
jobbing houses, and the retailers are trying to make
a sensation jubilee with these figures in their shop
windows. Brown sheetings and shirtings are down
from la2c per yard, and close dull and heavy.

it the high encomiums of all who have used it, possess?
ing, as it does, in an eminent degree, cathartic, diuretic,
alterative and tonic qualities.
From SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M. D., Professoi
Practice of Physic, Jefferson Medical College, Phils
delphi*, formerly of Charleston .S. C. <
PHILADELPHIA, November 15, 1835.
I have beon for a year or more past in tho habit ol
taking the water of the "Excelsior" Spring of Saratoga.
Accustomed during the great portion of my invalid lite
to use the different waters of the several fountains whicn
boil up along that remarkable valley, dependent, indeed,
upon them tor much of tho comfort I enjoy, I am satis?
fied that the Excelsior Water is as weU adapted as auj
other among them, if not more so, to the purposes tor
which th oy are generally employed. Il is very agreeable,
strongly impregnated with tho carbonic acid, lively and
sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously '
recommend it to all wbo need a gentle cathartic and
diuretic -SAMUEL HENR? DICKSON, M. D.

This great n-wvifyer is offered to the public, that all
who will avail themselves of its remedial power may be
benefitted.
It only requires a fair trial to confirm its invaluable
agency m diffusing through each channel of tho human
organization a restored vitality. It invigorates and em?
bues the Lunga with healthful elasticity ; restores warmth,
which is their essential clement; rouses the sluggish ves?
sels into activity; heals thc affected lobes; purifies and
enriches tho blood; regulates the circulation; induces
free and easy respiration, and expels, through its admin?
istration, each and every concomitant disorder present in
the malady recognized as Consumption, and hitherto
deemed hopeless and incurable.
Thia compound ia perice tty safe, possessing neither
narcotic nor emetic properties, which unfortunately arc
always employed as essentials m every preparation for
Cough or Lung affection-a mistake which too often in
its irritating and debilitating consoquenccs, only con?
duces to much general derangement of the system, de?
stroying appotita and creating an injurious nervous ex?
citement, augmenting sufferiug with irequont fatal re?
sulta.
Under the influence of this approved and invaluable
Specific the most distressing Cough yields, difficulty in
breathing and pains and soreness subside, hemorrhage
is arrested, and health and strength re-established.

I havo always recommended thc Faber Polygrade
Lead Pencils as tho only pencils fitted for both ornamen?
tal and mathematical drawing; but, niter a thorough
trial of tbs Anicricau Polygrade Lead Pencils, niau
uiactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I lind them superior to any pencil in use, even to
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Peucil,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary us?e of a lead
pencil.
These pencils oro very finely graded and havo a very
smooth lead ; even tkc softest pencils bold the point well ;
they are all that can bo desired lu a pencil. It gives nie
great pleasure to bo able to assure Americana that they
will no longer be compelled to depend upon Germany or
any other foreign market for pena1 ls.

the Messrs. Chiokerlna may well be proud of having

would be very difficult to surpass tn any part of tbs

Among the ohlef points of exoellenoe of the 0bibar?

congratulatory testimonials to the Messrs.Ohlckerlng,
are the greatest possible depth, richness and'volume of

above all, a sar prising duration of sound, the pure and
sympathetic quality of which never changes under the

GOTTSCHALK.
I consider Ohlckerlng k Sons' Pianos superior to any
In the world.
They ara unrivalled for their singing qualities and for
the harmonious roundness of their tone. There is a
perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The
upper notes are remarkable for a clearness and purity
which I do not find in any other instrument, while the
base is distinguished for power without harshness, and
for a magnificout sonority.
WKHLI,
Your Pianos are superior to any I have ever seen hi
this country or tn Europe.
I have never hoard a tone so perfect; it j le?da every
expression that le needed In music, and tts quality ls
capable of change to meet ovory sentiment. This ls a
rare power, ano is derived from the perfect purity of
lu tone, together with its sympathetic, elastic and weU
balanced touch.
