      The Leeds Chamber of Commerce has memorialised the Government on tho propriety of obtaining a reform in the tariff of Portugal , which is now almost prohibitory . Tho plan of a reciprocal reduction is suggested . An important meeting of deputations from tho boards of guardians of several Unions in the north , was hold at Manchester on Monday for the purpose of obtaining tho repeal of an order lately issued by tho Poor Law Hoard , restricting tho giving of out-floor roliof , except under certain " vexatious" nnd " cruel" conditions .

      How tho Derby Government follows out tho " family compact" entered into with Louis Napoleon is visible iii many ways .

      Next year , we are informed , an " Ocean Penny Postage Bazaar" will be held in London ; contributions are to be sent' to Mr . E . Fry , League of Brotherhood , 35 , Broadstreet-buildings , London . The clergy of the archdeaconry of London met at Sion College on Thursday , and denounced the opening of the Chrystal Palace on Sunday as a " desecration . " It is probable , we believe , that early in November a public meeting will be held , in one of our principal halls , for the purpose of making a public protest against the alleged intention of opening the new Exhibition at Sydenham on the Sunday afternoons . —Record .

      Lord Eglinton performed the ceremony of raising the first pillar of the new Exhibition building , at Dublin , on Monday .

      As there was a proposition to run the railway which shall connect the New Crystal Palace and the west-end , across Clapham-common , the saints of that locality , and the owners of house property , held a meeting on Tuesday to oppose the scheme . They professed to be shocked at three things—the depreciation of their property which would ensue , the horrible nuisance of having working men digging and delving in those classic regions , and—the desecration of the sabbath by the projected opening of the Palace on the sabbath . And they carried their point . Mr . Sidney , a resident , whom the gentlemen affected not to know , as he is only a literary man , said that the railway would not cross the common ; and Mr . Fuller , a director of the railway , pledged his word on behalf of the directors , to the same effect . There was a singular meeting at Islington on Monday . The vicar presided ; the audience Avero estimated at about a thousand , of whom one half were ladies ; and the clerical speakers were in the same proportion , to tho lay . The object of their hostility was the projected opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday . One resolution stated , " that the proposed opening of the Crystal Palace , at Sydenham , in the afternoon and evening of the Lord ' s-day , for purposes of pleasurable recreation to its visitors , and of profitable gains to its promoters , would be utterly at variance with the spirit and letter of the divine commandment , also with the statute law of this Christian country , and likewise with the best interests of society . " An amendment , in a contrary sense , was offered , but the chairman would not put it , on the ground that the meeting ; was for those who " disapprove" of the opening of the Palace ; so the original motion was carried . " James Lord , Chairman" of tho Protestant Association , has addressed the following categorical inquiries to Lord Derby : — " 1 . Whether Sir Henry Bulwer has been accredited as Ambassador or Minister to tho Court of Rome , or to act there in any diplomatic relation on behalf of tho British Government ? 2 . If any communication , oflicial or otherwise , has been made by him or others to her Majesty ' s Government of any such interview as is abovo reforred to ? " Lord Derby , through " W . P . Talbot , " has replied as follows : — " I have , in reply to your first question , to acquaint you that Sir Henry Bulwer has not been in nny way accredited to tho Court of Rome ; and with respect to your second question , that it docs not consist with Lord Derby ' s duty to answer any inquiries as to private and unoilicial communications which may have passed in conversation between Sir Henry and Cardinal Antonelli , or any other person at Home .
