STAMPED sd. has been made in wheat within the last week in my time. From the East Riding it was remarked : " The weather is now hot and forcing ; the wheat plant is in ear, and present prospects are favourable for the coming harvest." From Devonshire, in the Exeter district that is, it was stated :—" We have had uninterrupted bright hot weather since this day week; very favourable for the growing crops and saving hay." From Lincolnshire our advices stated : —" This week I am able to give you a more satis factory account of things in general with us. Last week's rain has done wonders to the crops, and now everything looks promising. There is a better chance for a crop of corn this year than we have had for many years, and harvest will be early. Turnips are now safe." Saturday was intensely hot, the wind having gone round to the south-west. The morning being thick and foggy, a change seemed approaching, and in the afternoon some heavy thunderstorms were experienced, with much rain in the evening. Previously, a large quantity of hay must have been secured ; and taking the great improvement in the crops, and the enhanced value of wheat, " agricultural prospects" must now be good, as farmers will have rather more to encou rage them than for a long time past, particularly if the present prices of wheat can be supported for the next crop. Some of our correspondents say that we are going in cycles as regards the prices, and that we are to have now three years of high rates to compensate for the last three years of low.—Mark Lane Express. " That the House of Commons elected by a portion of the adult male population of the United Kingdom is a violation 1 and a mockery of the principles and intent of the Constitu tion, and that the factious and class opposition by To; :es and sham Liberals to the late moderato Reform Bill, together with the injur:ons and insulting language used towards the working classes, renders it imperatively necessary that the Liberal party throughout the country should unite in in sisting upon the amendment of the representation of the people in Parliament being carried out to the extent of the householder and lodger, or full manhood suffrage." - Mr. Osborne, the next speaker, and the seconder of the resolution, complained that the police had attempted to frighten the landlord of the Reformers' favourite public-house, and expressed his conviction that Reform would soon be demanded by assemblies numbering hundreds of thousands. The resolution on being put was, of course, carried, and Mr. M'Gilchrisf proposed a vote of thanks to Earl Rus sell, Mr. Gladstone, and their "coadjutors" in the Ministry—a resolution supported by Mr. Bradlaugh, Mr. Finlan, and Mr. Baxter Langley. One or two other speakers followed, one of them, a Mr. G. H. Mantle, expressing a firm conviction that the adop tion of Reform was as certain as that the " moon followed the sun, and that the sun was the god of day." Tile speakers had by this t;me become rather exhausted, and the crowd was waxing slightly im patient. The side meetings had broken up, and the main body followed the example, first of all, how ever, passing a vote of thanks to Mr. Beales, the chairman. In a short time the part of the column occupied by the leaders was cleared, a large number of those present remaining somewhat later and en joying the amusement of storming and defend'ig the other three silks. The advi3e given to the assemblage by the chair man and other speakers to proceed at once to their homes at the conclusion of the meeting was followed by the great bulk of the people, the Central Com mittee of the Reform League repairing to their head ters in the Adelphi-terrace, and the Lambeth, Westminster, Hoxton, llolborn, Clerkenwell, and Marylebone branches, ranging themselves under their flags and preceded by their bands and com mittees, marched off the ground in an orderly and q&et manner. It was evident, however, that a very large number were bent upon finding some amuse ment before returning home. The eccentric costume of a gentleman in a red shirt attracted the attention of one division, and by this portion he was pur sued until he sought refuge in Scotland-yard. Another division proceeded to the house of Lord Elcho, in St. James-street, but, as a large number of policemen were on the spot, the mob did nothing but hoot, hiss, and groan. A third division pro ceeded to the Carlton Club, and indulged in similar demonstrations, the crowd in the two latter instances being almost confined to youths and roughs. Many respectable men were present, but they were in each case to be found among the spectators, and not among the mob itself. A large number of the mem bers of the Carlton Club thronged the steps, and, not content with hissing and hooting these gentle men, the mob every now and then rushed forward and attempted to t: Ike possession of the steps, an attempt in which they were each time foiled. Vari ous things were thrown at the members of the Club, but the fact that the road is paved was sufficient in itself to prevent auy recourse to stones as weapons of offence. After a little while the road was cleared by some policemen, and the crowd then proceeded to the Reform Club, cheering " Gladstone," to tho chorus of " ile's a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us," whence they subw.quently paid a visit of the same nature to Mr. Gladstone's residence in Carlton Ilouse Terrace, dispersing shortly before 11 o'clock. A WOPD TO MY LEAN FRlENDS.—Readers of tho Independent may recollect a brief article from my pen under the heading " A Word to my Fat Friends." Many persons have wfitton to me about it, asking various questions. The point of the letter-writer, however, has generally been this : "You have told us what people should do to become thin ; can you tell us what loan people should do to become plump and seemly ?" My purposi at this thee is to answer this question. 1. Be thank:ul that you are not fat. Man's body is designed for use. Lean, flexible active folks should be duly grateful they do not waddle, wheeze, and sweat. Besides your chance for a long life is, on the whole, better than that of the fat man. So gratitude, that your case is no worse, is your first duty. 2. You must begin the consideration of your emaciation with the phy siological fact that the quantity and quality of your flesh depend upon the character of your digestion. The dyspep tic and consumptive eat enormous quantities of nutritious food, but grow thinner day by day. Lean people are not unfrequently great eaters, but the food is not appropriated. Such bodies are like our great Peninsular army, which, re ceiving constant supplies of men and horse, constantly decreased in size and strength. So my dear shadows, you see we must determine, first, to give you more thorough digestion and assimilation. You probably eat too much. The digestive apparatus is compelled to undertake so much doit can fo nothingfora a consumptive h ar eo tma w dvt e ea d l nsai l t psolh . vatge ohac. rmspryeegle lamb), abmi dyspeptic ,ny b etesw. s e op r fi it is not the quantity ea; en, but that digested, which a doterminee your flesh and scribe it strength. Eat less. And as the saliva plays a very impor tant part in the function of digestion, masticate thoroughly, drinking little or nothing by way of helping the food into unless • the your stomach. 3.

Eight p rosecutions were consequent upon tho inqusries made by the Commission ers, a j udgment of none prosequi was entered in each case, and the total amount of costs was £4,952 3s. 4d. Russell and Mr. Gladt were informed, through sates inkin mentality, that tyrants were odious in the sight of God, and as the banner was placed conspicuously in the neigh bourhood of a gentleman who for some time was en gaged in gesticulating and violently waving his hands, it is not impo7sible that the staple of his dis course was somewhat to the same effect. A number of the gentlemen who were to deliver adOresses were told of under Colonel Dixon for ser ;ice at the right hand corner of the square, and others under Leverson, for duty at the left hand corner, and the crowd was seen receiving instructions on every side. Mr. Bradlaugh, who was with the main body, w as asked b take path in the proceedings at one of the offshots, but he at once declined, judiciously adding that the position which he then occupied had only been attained after a good deal of trouble, and that he had no wesh to work his way back again. On Mr. Beales resuming, it appeared that a letter had been published advising the Lord Chief Justice to deprive the speaker of his office of rev'sing barrister. The "vile caitiff," as Mr. Beales characterised the writer, evidently knew very little how staunch that gentleman was to his colours, and how little either he or the Lord Chief Justice were to be influenced by such an epistle. Mr. Luckeraft proceeded in a similar strain, and after expressing an opinion that those who talked of putting down the working classes relied upon bayonets for support, moved the follow ing resolution : THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1866.

It would thus appear that should both parties remain resolute, it seems every way likely that the great international sculling contest will have to be decided in one of her Majesty's courts at West minster instead of on the Tyne.

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. MEETING TIT'S DAY. At the quarterly meeting of the shareholders, held this day, at the temporary offices in Surrey-street, Strand, after the advertisement convening the meeting had been read by the Secretary (Mr. Gruneisen), Viscount Ranelagh (the Chairman) read the following Report of the Executive Committee : The Executive Committee have the pleasure to present their fifty-fifth report, with the annexed financial returns, showing the very satisfactory state of the society's opera tions for the first three quarters of the 14th financial year ending the 30th September next TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear o pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TENTH are of vital importance from availing . themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater par, of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us i o offer even the moss sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, , specialitd pertaining only to our prac tice, and for whicit 'der Majestyjfas granted her royal letters patent. This system embraceAke non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they oecome firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

Yesterday the annual pigeon match between members of the Liberal and Conservative sides of the House of Com mons took place at Ashburnham, and though perhaps the most decidedly aristocratic, was the very worst match of the season. Why, it would bo indeed difficult to tell. Tho weather, with the exception of one heavy shower, was favourable, the wind was in favour of the shooters, and the birds were by no means the very best, yet the score was woful. It had been originally settled for six a side, but another was added, and precisely at 3 30, Viscount Holmes dale, who led the Opposition, began with a miss, 2 zo 1 being freely laid on him. Col. Annesley followed his leader, and the Hon. Mr. Do Grey was equally true to the viscount. This commencement was rather improved by the rest on the side bringing down their birds. If the Conservative side was bad the Liberals were worse, for of their seven only two killed in the first round. In the second round Sir Charles Mordaunt took part with the triumvirate that had made so indifferent an exhibition; but their opponents were but little better. The Conservatives also lost way in the third round, and though they pulled up a unit on the next it was quite evident that their crack performers were not quite "equal to the occasion." Viscount Holmesdale and Colonel Annesley each missed eight out of nine. The rounds continued, all being equal at the end of the fourth. Then the majority went on 2,5, 6,9, 11, and there being only seven shots each to fire, the match was at an end, the Liberals having won by the magic number, retrieving their defeat of last year, when the Conservatives were victorious by five. Throughout the contest, however, as regarded the sides, another interesting struggle was proceeding, the best scorer having to receive a "pipkin" from the entrance money. For the first four rounds Mr. Hussey Vivian, Mr. Frederick Milbank, and Captain the Hon. H. Wyndham were in it, but the Conservatives soon fell astern in the race, and when the hon. member for the North Riding had the odd bird at the seventh round his chance lc.K;l:eil eel!, I , iit lids,ey Vivian caught him in the next round, passed him in the one following, and, dropping his teeth bird beautifully, less one, became entitled to the jug. Last year Mr. Dillwyn won it. Mr. Frank Heathcote, as usual, made all arrangements. In conclusion, it need merely be said that the Liberal side killed 37 out of 64, and the Conservatives 25 out of 63. The extra unit was the last shot by Mr. Hussey Vivian to entitle him to the prize. The further result of the match will be a dinner at Greenwich at the expense of the losers. The following is the full score : THE LIBERALS. Birds shot at. Killed.

The race for the Wingfield Challenge Sculls, the holder of which for the time being has the title of Champion of the Thames, came off yesterday in the presence of thou sands of spectators. The fact of the contendants being university men caused considerable interest to be centred in the event ; and the steam-boat which accompanied the race had a large party of past and present university men on board, among whom were Messrs. H. C. Smith, Rhodes Cobb, C. B. Lawes, L. P. Thickwood, H. T. Steward, and others. The arrangement of placing the starting boats devolved upon honest John Phelps, the waterman of Ful ham, and he carried out his duties satisfactorily. Mr. Ed ward Searle, of the firm of Searle and Son, was starter ; and Mr. C. B. Lawes, the winner last year (retired), was umpire. The result was as under : E. B. Michell, Magdalene College, Oxford W. B. Woodgate, Kingston Rowing Club J. G. Chambers, Leander Boat Club 0 Mr. Searle got them off to an excellent start, Mr. Cham bers taking a slight lead. In half a dozen strokes, how ever, Woodgate, who rowed very fast, had passed him, and Michell, who had the worst station, was loft last. He soon, however, disposed of Chambers, who had length of roach alone in his favour, lacking the great requisite strength. At the Star and Garter Woodgate had a good lead, and at Simmonds's was a quarter of a clear length ahead of Michell. These two rowed a ding-dong race with the name positions to the London Boat-house, where Chambers was out of the race. A little further on Michell drew on Woodgate, but the latter gave him so much bP.ek wash that at the Dung-wharf he was nearly a clear length astern, Michell having caught half a crab meanwhile. Mr. W3odgate now tried the crossing system and gave his opponent all the wash he could, but towards Hammersmith -bridge Michell displayed the most pluck, and was, we consider, overlapping his antagonist at the bridge. At the Red Lion they were level, and then Michell led slightly. Woodgate spurted and cut him down, and a game and resolute race to the middle of Chiswick Eyot found them level. Woodgate was unfit for . further exertion, s and pte Michelld arh go tdandaway did all h ashepleas om pleased, and, ll won thoughiche Woodgateeasily. THE INTERNATIONAL SCULLING RACE. —The Newcastle Chronicle of Saturday says :—" Yester day evening an adjourned meeting was hold at Mr. J. Brown's, the Blenheim House Hotel, for the purpose of settling the only moot point left open, namely, that of the precise time of the days of the 4th and sth of July that the race should be rowed. There was a good attendance of the friends being accompanied by Mr. G. Drew of tt th Kelley Messrs. J. H. Baird and J. Adams, i, o e f two London, men, of Newcastle, and several others; tho American 'being again represented by Mr. Jas. Wilkinson, with whom were Mr. Harry Clasper, Mr. W. Mrajs. Brow n,theM Mr. Wm. I M Vm ur . t i On la , k M ey r , . W. Oldham, Mr. John Hamill, Mr. J. Laughlin, &c. There is a dispute as to the rowing—as to the days and the tides. Hamill considers that be is clearly entitled to have the morning tides ; whilst on the other hand Kelley maintains that as tha articles stated "on two days following each other in the week ending July 7," he claimed to have them rowed either morning or evening. The point was warmly discussed on both sides, the result being that Kelley positively refused to row except upon the terms ho had stated ; whereupon Mr. Wilkinson announced that Hamill would be at the starting place on the morning of the 4th of July, and in the event of Kelley not putting in an appearance the Ame rican would most certainly row over and claim the stakes. Kelley, on the other hand, as stoutly affirmed that ho would not be sthere in the morning, but would be at his post in the evening, and would do likewise, namely, row Shares in Shares Total Qrs. ending Receipts. progress.

The last share issued up to midsummer, 1866, was No. 24,827. The executive com mittee have to announce to the shareholders the acquisi tion of a valuable building property, which will be called the West London Estate, being on the borders of West Brompton, with an extensive frontage in the New Rich mond-road, North End, Fulham, on a direct lino with the Kensington Museum-road. Omnibuses run close to Beau fort House (the head-quarters of the South Middlesex Vo lunteers), which is within a minute's walk of the society's land ; a new station is now being erected on the West London Railway, within five minutes' walk of the estate and Now Richmond-road, and which will communicate with all parts of the metropolis, on both sides of the Thames. The committee consider that with such com munications and approaches the West London Estate will afford great accommodation for the middle and working classes, displaced or about to be dislodged by the new metropolitan railways. It is proposed to allot this fine building property about the second week in August, or earlier, if possible. The directors can also congratulate the shareholders on the purchase of an eligible piece of building land close to the South-Eastern Railway station at Ramsgate, and to the High-street thereof, with frontage to the high road to Margate. Houses are in great demand since the coast line of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway has been opened to Ramsgate. Tenders for the completion of the roads on the Now Ferry Estate, opposite Liverpool, and the St. Austell Estate, Cornwall, have been accepted. The contracts for the works on the Hereford, Stafford, Deal, and Putney, No. 4, are progressing. The roads on the Wood Green, No. 2, and Roehampton estates are finished. Tho new Kemp Town Railway, which crosses the Round-hill estate, Brighton, is in active con struction, and it is hoped that a now station close to the society's estate will be eventually erected, as the neigh bourhood has recently much increased. The committee antielpte that they will be able to allot the second Saudown estate, Isle of Wight, iu the course of the ensuing mouth, and it is also expected that score portion of the Forest-gate estate, Wanstead flats, may be offered before the close of the financial year. The contractor for the works, Nos. 33, Norfolk-street, and 11, Howard-street, which will be combined for the society's offices, is under engagement to complete the alterations and repairs within a given period, and the executive committee hope to meet the shareholders at the next quarterly meeting in the en larged premises, so much required owing to the extension of business. The 20th of July being the last day for send ing in claims for the freehold franchise in counties, the purchasers of laud on the society's estates in the 26 coun ties are requested, if not already on the register, to com municate with the society's solicitor, in order that they may be duly registered. In the event of objections being made, the requisite deeds and particulars of the property should bo forwarded to the offices—the holders of plots being careful to specify the most convenient polling dis tricts in the county or counties in which the property is situated. Changes of address and any alterations in the qualifications should be at once communicated to the society's legal adviser, who will attend to the interests of the allottees free of expense. The executive committee, in conclusion, congratulate the shareholders on the pros perous position of the Conservative Land Society, for, notwithstanding the financial pressure occasioned by the late panic, the receipts for the first three quarters aro much larger than those of the corresponding period of last year. Agricultural Prospects. The past week opened with a splendid day, sunny and hot; wind, N.N.E., backed by a beautiful sun set, with an Italian sky. Monday morning was somewhat more cloudy, but it held up fine, and hay making was going on extensively. Wind, N.N.E. to E. ; thermometer, 65 deg. ; barometer, 30.15 inches. Tuesday was a fine hot day, very favourable for the progress of haymaking, with the thermometer in the shade 70 degrees. From Lancashire our advices of that day stated :—On Wednesday last the unfa vourable weather ceased, and it has since been bril liantly fine, with proper summer warmth, and all growing crops show evidence . of its magical in flence. The haymaking season has begun under good promise." From Suffolk, on the same day, it was remarked :—" Wheats are coming into ear gra dually, and present some improvement in appear ance." From the West Riding of Yorkshire, it was stated—" The weather is splendid, and the crops are very much improving." On Wednesday it was very hot, with slight heat drops in the after noon, but fine afterwards. Our accounts were ge nerally very favourable. From the west coast of Scotland it was stated :—" We have complete sum mer weather." From Lincolnshire, on the same day, our advices stated—" We have had some splendid hot weather during the week, and the wheats are nearly all in ear." From Gloucestershire, on the same day, it was remarked—" The weather is of the most favourable character for the growing crops, and haymaking is rapidly progressing in this dis trict." Thursday was a very fine day, after some showers during the previous night. From the neigh bourhood of Windsor our accounts ran thus :—" We had a very heavy storm of hail last evening, which beat down the crops in our neighbourhood, and re tarded the haymaking." From Warwickshire, it was stated :—" Intense heat during the whole week, fol lowing the few days of previous showery weather, has caused a great improvement in the crops, which up to the present critical season, as regards wheat, promises to be a very fair average." From Suffolk it was remarked :—" We have now warm and genial weather, and our crops are improving ; still both wheat and barley promise to be short in yield, unless upon fine well-farmed, kindly soils." From the in terior of the same county our advices go thus : " The weather has continued fine, and although the wind has been generally from the east, the days have been warm; vegetation progresses well, and the appearance of almost every crop improves daily." From Devonshire, in the neighbourhood of Ply mouth, our advices state :—" The crops in our neighbourhood are louking healthy, though back ward, and promise a capital yield. The we atlicr is look quite and some spots are begin nin g to quite yellow ; but these are exceptions. Taking to the district as a whole, our farmers have nothing grumble about." Friday was a fine forcing day ; wind N.N.E. ; thermomet er, at noon in the shade, 78 degrees ; barometer 29.90 inches. From the West Riding of Yorkshire our accounts vary :-- " The weather during the week has been very hot and forcing, an d I never saw such a difference as WESTO N'S GRAND MUSIC HALL, HOLBORN.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans we, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and havo to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a snm of at least £l,OOO more will be requ i re d. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf ! SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratof ally received by the Rev. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22 Finsbury-circus, E.O. Reform Demonstra`ion. Soon after 6 o'clock last evening the Reformers commenced mustering in Trafalgar-square. The most eligible spots were speedily seized by boys and roughs. They congregated in large numbers around the fountains, probably attracted by the refreshing coolness of the vicinity, and then literally swarmed around Nelson's column, occupying the spots to be devoted at some distant date to Sir Edwin Landseer's lions. Outside the square, espe cially on the side opposite the National Gallery, the ' assemblage was of a more respectable character, and the square itself was filled with groups chiefly em ployed in discussing the probable interference of the police, and the possible incarceration of Mr. Beales, in whose interest the general public appeared for the nonce to take an unusual interest. Here and there gentlemen with banners, deriding the Tories, and decrying despotism, attracted crowds of juve niles, while a few ardent Reformers occasionally undertook the enlightenment of their neighbours in anticipation of the general proceedings. The police were very smally represented and were rarely to be seen except when their services were required for the purpose of securing pickpockets, whose opera tions seemed in one or two instances to be detected. The people behaved, on the whole, in a quiet and orderly manner, although the non-interference of the police was certainly a disappointment to an ex ceedingly large number, who had evidently been attracted by the curiosity and by the hope that the "vindication of the right of public meeting" would lead to something at once exciting and amusing. The crowd gradually thickened in front of the side of the column facing the National Gallery, and the leaders of the agitation on their arrival had to fight their way through a dense mass of humanity. At length Mr. Beales and his friends having attained the base of the column, a space was cleared for them, and by the aid of friendly hands they managed to obtain a stand ing. The proceedings commenced with the election of Mr. Beales as chairman, and for about an hour and a half certain gentlemen whose connection with the movement is well known attempted to address the multitude. Human lungs, however, like Sam IVeller's vision, have but limited powers, and the oratory of thesegentlemen, fervid as it undoubtedly was, and excellent though it might be, necessarily failed in reaching more than a few in the front ranks. The great mass of those present., therefore, indulged in amusements more congenial. The boys clambered up the column, availing themselves for that purpose of the figures in bas-relief which were designed for the purpose of representing the death of Nelson. From the positions gained by this means they were speedily hooted, and on the failure of mild persuasions their neighbours seized them by the feet and pulled them ignominiously down. In the square the costermongers, who mustered rather strongly, and the apparently more indigent members of the working classes, testified to their fitness for thefran chise by occasionally bonnetiug their more respect ably clad neighbours, and surging first in one direc tion and then in another. The latter amusement, in deed, continued throughout the evening, and led to several collisions between the offenders and those who objected to this highly exhilarating but not al ways pleasant occupation. Mr. Beales stated that his presence there that evening was almost entirely attributable to the rumoured intention of interfer ence on the part of the police, and he congratulated the crowd on the numbers that had mustered under the able superintendence of their Reform captain, Mr. Luckcraft, and their equally able lieutenants, Kr. Osborne and others. Mr. Beales then read a letter he had received, stating that the Commissioner of Police had no intention of interfering with the meeting, and that the police had instructions to remain passive unless the people paraded the streets in a manner calculated by their numbers, noise, or violence, to excite terror or to cause intimida tion. The simple allusion to the Commissioner of Police was sufficient to put Mr. Beales's auditory in a ferment, and the hissing, groaning, and hooting which ensued were anything but complimentary to that fan c Lionary. The announcement that the police had been instructed not to interfere with the meet ing was received with more pleasure, and, headed by one of the leading agitators, the people cheered as heartily as they had shortly before hooted. The very idea of their parading the streets in such num bers as to excite terror or appear like intimidation was ludicrous in the extreme, and, headed by the same gentleman, the crowd for some little time in dulged in derisive laughter. It soon, however, be came evident that Mr. Beales was not the chief favourite of the meeting. If the police intended to interfere it was of course a very capital thing that they should vent their indignation upon the person of a revising barrister, but all fear of their interfer ence being at an end, the mass soon commenced clamouring for " Bradlaugh." After a reference to the words " violence, ignorance, and venality," a reference in itself sufficient to evoke loud cries in condemnation of Mr. Lowe, Mr. Beales exhorted his hearers to " shout out," if they liked, " the thunder of their gratitude to such real patriots as Mr. Gladstone and John Bright," an exhortation w ith so cheering.

They accordin g l y charged the mass in front, and af t e r muc h fighting and strugglillT managed to get through, when they were hauled up one by one, each corner celebrating by cheering and waving his banner. Banners more or less respectable in appearance were scattered here and there throughoutthe crowd. Some of them pro nounced emphatically against despotism, many against Toryism, and one especially objected to anything in the shape of " ruffianism," while nearly all expressed high approval of the conduct of Earl NEW NOVEL.
