M., a large iceberg grounded off tho harbor of Heart's Content, Newfoundland, about one and half miles north-northwest of Northern Point and two hundred yards east of the 1366 cable, in about sixteen fathoms of water. No danger with the present wind. On the 8th inst. it was reported that the iceberg had disap- peared; but in passing over tho cable of 1866 it seems, however, that some damage must have been done; for the signals through that cablo became imperfect, and have now ceased. The cable of 1865, however, is unimpaired, and there iano reason to doubt that the injury to the-cable of 1966 will be repaired without delay or any constderable expense, I need only add that the capacity of the cable of 1865 exceeds the requirements of the business, great as it is, between this country and America, Tam, sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES E, STEWART, Chairman of the Anglo-American Telegraph’ Udmpany, No. 26 Old Broad strest, London, May 17, 1867 BY STEAMSHIP TO MAY 7.

I believe I am strictly in order; but if 1 am not, perhaps the committee will be so indulgent as to allow me to make my observations. (Hear, hear.) First, as to the question of the honorable member for Bradford, with respect to the new clause of srhich I gave notice, I regret the clause is not already in the nands of honorable members; but the honorable gentleman knows the difficulties which arise in these matters, use was not in such a form of composi- ton as to enable us produce it before; but I expect that it will be in the hands of members to-morrow morning. (Hear, bear.) I will explain in a moment the exact character of the clause; but I wish first to refer to a subject which has given rise to a rather irrog- ular conversation. I atfude to the amendmont of which notice had been given by a gentleman mueh respecred— the honorable gentleman the member for Oldham. That honorable member is perfectly accurate 1n the state- ment which he has made to the House—that there was no communication between him and me [can state with sincerity that no communication, directly or ind rectly, ever took place between us, When the honort ble member asked his question he told me that I need not answer it that day, but 1 said I should prefer to do so atonce, Ithen assured the honorable member for Oldham that the subject should receive a candid consid- eration from the government. Perhaps I may have added—I don’t know that [ did so, but if I did I ouly stated what I felt—that we should consider it in the hope of arriving at a satisfactory solution. Woll, [ have fulfilled that promise I brought the matter under the consideration of my colleagues, and it received their very anxious consideration. regret, however, to say that it is not in our vower to agree to the amondinent of the honorable member in the form in which it stands; it 1s not in eur power to relieve the compound householder in the manner suggested by the honorable gentleman, The Committee know that I have placed on the table amendments the object of which is to g.ve facifities to compound housenolders to claim and possoss the franchise, which amendments T think every one will admit are a substan*ial means of facilitat- ing that object. The Committee will romember that every occupier of a bouse will bo entitled to have his name inserted on the rate book. Any compound bouse- holder whoge pame ts not on it may on application ob- tain a form, which when it fs filled up he may send free of charge to the proper official persons, and they are hound, on receipt of this claim, to insert the name of the elena ie) the rae lek: Bow, As fer oe, Dede aaa means for the compound householder to get on the rate book, and 80 obtain a vote, thove facilities canuot be questioned, But what I propose further is, that aaving thus obtained his rating, _ notic i gtvun to tho ewner, the compound o having aid the fall ‘rates, will tave power to deduct from his ront the full amount of his rates thus paid. (Cheews.) So far, thereiore, the committee will understand that no fine can be levied on the compound houselolder because of his applying to bave himself put on the rate book. It he pays his rate and deduets the full amount from his landiord I don’t think 1t ean be maintained that bo pays a fing in that operation. Bnt muci has been said about the nature of the payment mado by the cémpound householder under the existing system, Ihave the ad- vantage of not speaking without accurate information on the subject, and I know I shall be expressing the opinion of persons ot the higbest autbor.ty in what I am about to say on this point’ The elements which are said to enter into the relations between the compound holder and hs landlord may be thus deserided. it may be assumed that the elements which xo into the composition of rent may be thits accurately deseribed, There are three elements—first, the rent charged , second, the amount of the composition; and third, the boous atlowed to the landlord in consideration of the trouble and risk he incars in making himself responsible to the parish. Generally speaking, I think it will be tound— I do not say that it isa rule without an exception, but the general conelu mounts almost to alaw—that if you add the second and third items together, the amount of the composition aad the bonus, you will arrive at the fuli amount of the rate; and therefore I believe I may riv conclude that, a8 @ general rule—so general, as L y, it amounts toa conclusion which should regulate legislation—the compounder does pay the full rate now. ear, hear.) It would be disingentious in me not to knowledge that this potht, at an oarlier period of the session, was piaced before the House by the right hovor- able gentleman opposite with great powers of arzument and tilustration. 1 bad entertained some doubts about it, bat Lam bound to say that subsequent researches and the more enlarged information we now posess cortainly justify the conclusion. I beiieve the eloments of the rent of the compound houso- holder will be found to be as I bave now stated them. Therefore, I think it has been proved that the compound householder pays the full amount of the rate, and he has a right to deduci that amount from the reat be pays bis landiord. But it will be said that, thouh the compound householder uo longer to pay a fine, the landlord is flaed— (taughier)—, and the fine is only shifted (rom the tenant to the landiord; but ti, as we propose, the moment the compound householder claims the rizht of exerc the franchise, and of paying the full rates and ing the fall rate from the amount of his rent, we erate the landiord from the guarantee which he lias given, it is impossible to say that the landiord wail be fined.’ (Laughter.) There‘ore, it appears vo me, that we make a proposition which will entirely divest che question of tbis invidious character whic has been so much enlarged upon, and neither the tenant nor tie Jandiord will thas incur the fine which has been mentioned. With regard to the amendment of the honorable member for Oldham (Mr. Hibbert), [ can assure him again that it has been most carefully and anxiotsiy considered, but we cannot arrrive at the concia- sion that it is expedient, just and politic that we should create and establish ameng a very considerable class of people invidious distinctions, which wouid produce heart-burnings among neighbors who, though living in the same town, leading the same life 4 falfitiing the same duties, are not liable for the same amount of taxes, It is therefore of the utmost importance, that the game amount of rates should paid, in the manner in which [ have sugested it should be paid under the new clause which I shall oring in, and which I will place upon the table of the House to-night’ The amendment which I wish to make in clause 34 will leave in it all the facilities which I originatly for the compound householder. With regard to the 14th and 16th of Vic- toria, cap. 14, sec. 3, we propose to repeal that reser) of course saving:all existing rights, and of course extending to compounders under the old act the same aha ood which compounders are to enjoy under the bill The compounders under the old act could not claim to be r conped from the landlord for the rates which they pai ‘and now they have the power of claiming to be paid the full amount.

That is what I call existing rights. These are the amendments which I wish to bring before the con-ideration of the committee, and the practical point which I wish them to notice i¢ this:—I think the best course we could follow now would when we have couciuded the third clause to move that ail the oth: clanses should be postponed in order that we may take the tairiy-fourth clause, which includes all those arrange- ments about the compound householder.

The Great Open Air Demonstration of the Reform Leuguers—London Times’ Report of the Assembinge and Scene—Opinion und Resolve of the People—The Military and Police Held Concealed and in Reserve in Large Force Ireland and England in Union for Riaht, &c. The following report of the London imes, of the con* duct and course of the English government towards the monster Reform demonstration in Hyde Park, on the 6th of May, is in exact corroboration of the Hsratn’s.special telegram and cable advices on the samo, published in oug columns on the 7th of May, making the appear- ance of the reports of the mecting simultaneous in New York and Londou:— {From the London Times, May 7.} This great meeting, the threat of holding which in dellance of the goverament, aud Still more the govern- ment preparations to provent its being held, have kapt the metropolis in a state of chronic alarm and agitation for the fast month, was held yesterday evening, and passed off with the ‘qnietness and good order of a tem- perance meeting. Of course, in the face of such a happy result, it will be very’ easy to assert, now that all has gone oft smoothly and well, that no other course was ever intended, and that the authorities nev meant either to forbid the meeting or prevent it. It is somewhat too late in the day, however, now, when the military and police precantions adopted or Intended to be adopted to suppress the meeting are known, to an- nounce that it was never contemplated to prevent it, , The exact order of events is not likely to be soon know, though when it isthe main featares of the case will be nearly as follows:—Up to last Ihursday the goverament were firm in their intention to prevent themocting, Ad- ditional troops were brought mto London, and were in London last night. The mounted constabulary were drawn from the suburbs to tho number of pearly 300, and arrangements made for massing together in the Park nearly 5,000 of the Metropolitan Police. Tho very pro- gramme of the method of preventioa to be adopted yes- terday was laid down, and it was to the olfact that if speaking were attempted the speakers shonid be ar- rested, and that if this led to any disturbance the police’ should repel fores by force, and in the event of faling, the troops should be called to give whatever assistance might be thought necessary, After the Cabinet on Friday It was intimated that no ultimate docision as to the course of action should be considered as resolved upon, Even aiter the Cabinet of Saturday nothing was definitely made known Cor some time, though at that council it was resolved that tho movting should not be opposed, At tho same tims—we suppose, asa mearure of pre- caution—muca of what may be Called tie d:fonsive ar- rangemnis was adhered to yesterday, It was decided that the police were not to appear in greater number than 18 usual in the Park, the only alteration being that the consiables, instead of walking singly, patrolled at long intervals hore and there in pairs. in fact, at the first giance yesterday the police secmed to be fewor than usual inthe Park. The mounted police, in troops of fiities, wore stationed round the enclosure at various points which it is needieas to partientarizo, but all 49 posted as to cnable the whote force of mounted men to converge upon any part of the park withla five minutes after un alarm was gigen. Very strong detachments of foot con- stables ware also sitaiiarly disposed, so that in iifieen out three thousand five hundred men could have beon brought to any part of the en ure, In the little dell where the police station and bar- rack in the park itself are situated, on the read to the mazazing, a thousand constables ninder the orders of the cnief superintendents were held in reserve. The bar- rack was made the headquarters of the police fores, and hore were sir Richard Mayno and with te Deputy Commissioners, Labalmondicro, ‘and the chiefs of the A diviston, Walker and Kittle, ‘This force, however, though strong enough i itself, was /till strong-r in the sy pports it dh anal dee pend upon.

THE PROPLE * * * By five o'clock there were some 20,000 or 30,000 spectators scattered over the enclosure, the great mass being collected near the Marble Arch, A fair proportion of these belonged to the class popularly Rhown as “roughs.” These lay about in wreat vroups all over the grasa, either fast asleep, playing pitch and toss, or iaughing and ringing. Shordy before balf-past six the proceedings of the evening commenced, The arrangements to be made were very simpie—merely to choose ten platforms, or ratuer sites, from which to speak, and ranging in a ‘cir- cle trom te belt of trees round eastward towards Park lane and the Marble Arch. As s00u as these were chosen, placards, with hoge numerais, wero held aloft, in accord- ‘ance with the programme, and round these’ the crowds at once collected. The aadienees round each varied much, Nos. 1, 4 and 2 being the popular centres, and the instant the crowd had gathered round the speakiag be- gav.
