On Saturday evening Mr. Arthur J. Otway, the member for Chatham, addressed a crowded meet ing of his constituents in that borough, on Reform and the other leading topics of the day. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Baird, who briefly opened the proceedings by alluding to the services rendered by Mr. Otway since he had been returned as the repre sentative of that borough. Mr. OTWAY, who met with a very warm and cordial reception, said, since last he had the honour , of addressing the electors of Chatham, the Tory Administration had undertaken to deal with the all-engrossing question of Reform, after defeating the former Ministry because they had attempted to settle that question, and had brought in a bill which from its crude state and the unsatisfactory nature of its leading provisions would still longer postpone the final settlement of this great question. The course pursued on this question by the Conserva tive party, in first. opposing the moderate and emi nently satisfactory bill of the late Government, and then attempting to legislate on this question in the manner they had, was most dishonest, the result being that that party had done more to bring Par liament into contempt than anybody of men since the corrupt days of Walpole and Pelham. That party bad succeeded in ejecting Mr. Gladstone from power, and bad brought in a measure which, if the Liberals did their duty, as he hoped they would, could be made to go very much further than any thing proposed by the late Ministry. In its present state the bill of the Tory Government would have an inappreciable effect in enlarging the borough con stituencies, and, while it unsettled everything, would, so far from settling the Reform question, cause a renewal of the agitation to a greater extent than be fore. The amendments on the bill proposed by Mr. Gladstone had been defeated by a majority of those who had deserted from the Liberal ranks, and what ever their motives might have been for that course certainly their logic, when they were properly called to account by their constituents, was most defective. He observed that his excellent friend, Mr. Bass, grounded his reasons for supporting the bill on the circumstance that the bill was so thoroughly bad he thought it better to vote for it in the hope of mak ing it better. The time for the question of rating, composition rates, and other matters of that kind was now gone by, and the best course for the Liberal party to adopt was to show their loyalty to the con stitution and propose household suffrage, pure and simple. He believed that such a measure would settle this question for some time to come, and surely there was nothing iu the conduct or proceedings of the working_ classes to make them at all distrustful of them. The Coa§eryatiye party treated the ad-. mission of the working classes to the franchise as if they were fighting with an enemy, and they therefore were desirous of adopting a system of weights and checks to neutralise his power, forget ting that on the very first opportunity the working classes would sweep away a'4 the barriers by which it was attempted to confine them. The present bill he held to be of so unsatisfactory a character in all its leading provisions that it was altogether hope less for them to attempt to amend it, and therefore he thought it far better to reject it on the third read ing, and to defer the question till another session, rather than pass a measure which was universally looked upon as eminently uns itisfactory. He was not of those who were desirous of seeing any bill passed so that they dealt with the question of Re form, because he maintained that a great constitu tional change of this Character ought to be effected by the friends of Reform, and not by those who had always shown and declared themselves to be its determined and uncompromising opponents. At the present moment the Tories brought forward their measure under duress, as they saw that the people would have it. Mr. Otway then alluded to the in equalities in the present measure, and the unsatis factory nature of its principal clauses, the Act in one town giving almost universal suffrage, as in Shef field, where it would give votes to 20,000, while in Birmingham it would exclbde 36,000, It also created an invidious classification between the rioher and poorer voters, inasmuch as the £lO voter was placed on a different footing from the voter below thet amount. There was also a fatal defect in the bill, as it provided for no lodger franchise, which, as Mr. Disraeli took his stand on personal rating, could not be adopted. Mr. Otway, after alluding to other points of the proposed measure, spoke of the parti ally successful efforts which he had made in Parlia ment to obtain the abolition of the lash in the army, and stated his determination not to relax his efforts until that punishment was entirely got rid of. The hon. gentleman also entered into some remarks respecting the present complications on the Conti nent, and while be expressed the hope that England would maintain a strict neutrality, he could not conceal the conviction that the result of hostilities between France and Prussia would terminate in Belgium being annexed by the former, and the kingdom of Holland by Prussia—a result which England could not look upon with complacency. Mr. Otway also alluded to the Alabama claims, which he trusted England, as she was clearly in the wrong, would at once settle. The hon. gentleman, after speaking for an hour and a half, resumed his seat amid great applause, and at the termination of his speech a resolution expressing the approval of the meeting of the views expressed by him on the question of Reform, and acknowledging his services to the cause of humanity by his endeavours to ob tain the abolition of the lash in the army, was una nimously agreed to. Three cheers each for Mr. Otway, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Bright having been given, the vast audience dispersed. THE TAILORS' STRIKE. GREAT MEETING OF THE MASTERS. On Saturday afternoon there was a general meet ing of the master tailors of the metropolis (con vened by the Master Tailors' Association of the United Kingdom), held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of determining the steps necessary to be taken in regard to the present strike of the journeymen tailors. The meeting was a densely crowded and excited one, and the large ball of ' the Hanover-square Rooms was completely filled, there being upwards of one thousand persons present, including either the heads or repre-entatives of most, if not nil, the principal West-end firms in the tailoring trade. The CIIATIZIAN, in epeningahe proeeedings, said.' the vast assembly of the trade showed the im portance which was attached to the subject upon which they were assembled ; important not alone to themselves as employers, but to those through whose proceedings they had been brought together. (Hear, hear.) That meeting proved also that the master tailors of the metropolis were not indif ferent to the call which had been made upon them to assemble together and discuss the subject of the strike of the workmen, and to consider if such a proceeding were justifiable on the part of the latter. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the mas ters would have no difficulty in proving to the public that day that it was not, and consequently that it was the duty of the employers to resist it. (Ap plause.) If they would refer to what had taken place last year upon this.subject, they would find that the masters gave way to their employe's,' and with respect to the time-log they agreed to give them what they required, namely, 7d. instead of 6d. per hour. Now, although last year it was their own proposal, it was asked by the men on strike that these sevenpences should be further increased, and those who made this demand had the assurance to assert that the increase-of one penny on each six pence conceded to them last April was only a nominal increase. (Laughter, and Oh, oh.) How this conclusion could be arrived at he (the chairman) could not imagine, -for what, ho would ask, could be more actual, and by no means nominal, than the addition of a copper penny to a silver sixpence, all other arrangements being left as they were before —nothing either added to or diminished from ? In opposition to the calculation of those who said the additional penny was a nominal increase, he would contend that it was a clear increase of one-sixth when the 6d. became 7d. (Hear, hear.) But what was still further inexplicable in the matter on the part of the men was, that it was almost constantly contended in support of the increase of the number of these sevenpences they were not asking for an increase of money, but only for a time. (Oh, oh.) Now in his (the chairman's) opinion, in this case at least, time is money,' for an hour here was a synonymous term for 7d. It was just the same, therefore, whether more hours be asked for in the making of a coat, or mbre sevenpences for its making. (Hear, hear.) Sometimes, also, the speakers at the men's meetings would say that the increased pay in a coat was only 2s. This was true as to a footman's coat, or a gentleman's lounging coat, which was formerly 2-1 hours, or 125., but the price for gentlemen's superfine cloth coats had been increased from 16s. to 18s., or from 32 hours to 36 hours, at the 7d. per hour, therefore, the increase upon the 18s. was 35., making the 18s. coat 21s. The fact was the manner in which these demands were made was with th e view of m y stif y in g a p lain questiondidnot libymixing up terms in it in a manner that the un derstand, so as to make it ap pear that the journeymen tailors were unfairly dealt by, which everyone present knew was not really the fact. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BENNETT moved the first resolution : " Resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting the time-log of the Amalgamated Society presented by London operative tailors to their employers is unfair, and ought to be resisted ; and that the action of the Master Tailors' Association of the United King dom in resisting it is entitled to the full support of the trade, and this meeting pledges itself to give them their applause.) way in their power." (Loud p Bennett proceeded at some length asusep.p)orti Mr.n every to denounce the statements put forth at some of the men's meetings, that the masters had reduced the rate of wages, or had any desire to do so. The rate of payment, whether by the hour or by the garment, was what they had themselves fixed by the log of last year. On the other hand, it was the workmen who were attempting to coerce the. masters into giving them increased and unfair wages. If the trade generally wou ld support the association in re sistance he bad but little doubt this strike, which could only result in injury to the men themselves l and their families,would speedily terminate. (Hear, hear.) -Mr. WADE seconded • the resolution, and it was also supported in a few observations by Mr. Landon and Mr. Bowater. Mr. BLACKMORE had no doubt but that the result of that meeting would be watched with most intense interest by men not only of their own, but of all professions and trades. Such being the case, it be csmes their duty as employers to be firmly united and determined. (Hear, hear.) Trades' unions were on their trial, and public attention was at that time more than ever directed to them in con sequence of the disgraceful disclosures recently made before the commission appointed to inquire into their actions. (Hear.) These combinations of workmen were paralysing the industry of the coun try, and driving capital from its legitimate and proper channels--(loud cries of " Hear")—and it became their duty as employers, both for the sake o f the imp/oyes as well as themselves, to put forth all their power to check their progress. (Hear, hear.) One means of check which they had at command was to resist . those monstrous extortions which their paid agitators, and not the unfortunate men them selves, were endeavouring to draw from the em ployer's pocl;ets. (Hear, hear.) When once the working man, whether a tailor or anything else, got caught in the union net, he was no longer a free agent. (Hear.) They must obey the orders of its executive, contrary to their own judgment and in terest, to the ruin of themselves, their wives, and iunooent tbildren. (Hear, heir.) Id taking the step which they were about to take, notwithstand ing the organs of the agitators were constantly call , ing them " oppressors" and " degradors," he:con iinded that the employers were the real friends of the working men. (Cheers.) That had been proved by the charities they supported ; but it was neces sary that they should all unite, and further prove themselves the true friends of the workmen by their firmness in resisting this most unfair attempt at extortion, and which would be the readiest means of crushing this most unfair and unjust strike. (Applause.) Mr. SMALLPAGE said the men who had organised this strike had begun at the wrong end of the stick, as they generally did, for they had struck against the best houses, where they got the best wages, and where, according to their own admissions, they earned scarcely ever less than from 38s. to 40s. per week, and sometimes a great deal more. (Hear, hear.) If they had commenced with the slop . tailors, and helped to put a stop to the rascalities of those who paid poor creatures at the rate of one or two shillings a-day, then there would be some reason in their movement, and the better class of tradesmen would help them. (Loud cries of " hear, hear.") They desired, they said, to help the poor women who were made the victims of these people, but they could not complain of the way women were treated in the better class houses, for they were paid at the same rate as the men. (Hear, hear.) His firm had determined to close their establish ment for a year if necessary rather than submit to this unjust demand, and if the masters were all pre p Ired to adopt a similar course they would soon bring these men to their senses. (Loud applause.) Mr. LAWRENCE, Mr. BROWN, and several others said their firms were quite prepared to adopt the course suggested, an announcement which was loudly cheered. A gentleman in the body of the meeting wished it to be distinctly understood by the public that there was no desire whatever on the part of the masters to reduce the wages per hour, but they were determined to resist the demand of an increase now made by the men of 8d and 9d. per hour. (Hear.) The CHAIRMNN sail that was the real truth, and if there were any reasonable points to be discussed the masters were prep•ired to meet the men. As a proof of this he held in his hand a proposal for refer ring a subject which might be in dispute to arbitra _tion. It was ,to, the following effect :—" Both parties have agreed to refer any disputed point to an Indif ferent person, whose decision shall be final, and abided by by both parties, such person to be chosen before the beginning of the conference under the signature of both committees." (Hear.) The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN said a question had been put to him as to what was the position of the association. He begged to state that up to that moment the members of the association numbered 181 employers, and they had a guarantee fund to sustain their objects of £5,587. (Loud applause.) Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which it was stated that last year the increase of wages amounted to 16 per cent., and that if the pre sent demands were acceded to it would make alto gether an increase of 35 per cent. since March, 1E66. A vote of thanks was given to the committee of the association for taking the initiative in the matter, and a similar compliment being paid to the chair man, the meeting, which was a most excited one, closed., THE CASE OF WILLIAM 11. WEBB. There is an article in Wilkes' Spirit qf the Times entitled " now Great Men are Made to Order," in which Mr. William H. Webb, the well-known ship builder of New York, obtains an unenviable promi nence. It appears that sonic ill-advised friends of this gentlem an wr ote a panegyric on him in a with al l the t h e article w a y down o n ➢Ai two w Webb, wee kly p a per, never before see n by the Spirit, but which was columns. Mr. Webb is characterised by his bio grapher as of almost superhuman abilities. " Such men," he says , " are the very pillars of the State ; th e foundation upon which the nation depends. Indeed," he exclaims, vaulting to his climax by a marked, with ink few more phrases like the above, "the value of such a man to the country it is impossible to estimate." Now, says the Spirit, all this froth is harmless enough, except to this man of very moderate abili ties, whom it makes egregiously ridiculous. But it is not harmless, and therefore not excusable, that his spurious glory should be supported by preten sions to inventions which belong to others (such as the invention of ironclad war steamers) ; nor is it a matter of indifference to the country that the man who built the lie de Italia, which was sunk at the first broadside by an Austrian ship ; who con structed the Japanese steamer, for whose manifest defects the unhappy native agent was consigned by his Government to death ; who built the General Admiral, which has beery an incubus upon the Rus sian navy ever since, and upon whose hands even this Dunderberg lies as a dead weight—we say that it is not a matter of indifference that the man who has made all these deplorable failures, should be put forward as the great American mechanic. Mr. Webb's biographer claims that in shipbuild ing "America has won, and has triumphantly main tained, the first place," and that " Mr. Webb is the man who has borne the American standard to this victory." Now, it is notorious to every American of experience that the once undisputed superiority of America vessels upon the ocean, has yi ,, lded of late years to the superiority of the ships of England, and particularly the steamships of the Clyde ; and every intelligent American also knows, that this decadence of our naval archi tecture, as compared with that of Great Britain, has taken place during the very period through which Mr. Webb has figured as the most prominent ship. builder in the United States. If this melancholy fact is to prove his title to be one of the most ex traordinary men of the country, we can only agree to the proposition with a reservation, which must be far from gratifying to his worshippers. A great man impresses himself upon his period by lifting it forward in the path of progress • not bysymbolismg a grade of its decline. Mr. Webb will certainly prove himself a great man, if he gets that failure, the Dunderberg, off upon the Government fog, two or three millions of dollars ' • but to do that he will have to have great luck, and several relays of patent biographical paint. Following the assertions of Mr. Webb's genius in the way of shipbuilding, of which the unbought Duriderberg is made the great example, a claim is put in .for " abilities of the highest order," in the masterly manner in which he has managed, and is managing, the affairs of the Nicaragua Transit Company, whose steamers purport to run between New -York and California. Now, it is notorious PRICE STAMPED 'id. that the " Nicaragua line," so called, is the most wretchedly conducted line of steamers that. ever ran out of the port of New York. Indeed, the line is a proverb of inefficiency and failure; and many a family has a deplorable recollection of its short cotning.s and delays, by the (Lath of Some of their best members, while abandoned by the compt•ny on the pestilential isthmus. Only a few months ago 300 United States soldiers, and as many more general passengers, were abandoned there, to do mesticate themselves, half-starved, among the half breeds of the Isthmus for a period of over 30 days, during which time, through the stupidity of a management, that had no steamer to tranship them, a large number of them miserably perished from the fevers of the country. To be the President of this company, the stock of which stands at 15 cents on the dollar (in contrast to the 50 and 60 cents under its previous President), and which has no credit or character of any sort whatever, is claimed by Mr. Webb's biographer to be one of the highest of human dignities, and he exclaims with conscious pride and irrepressible enthusiasm " that all the abilities of Mr. Webb are centred upon the duties of that station." It is admitted that Mr. Webb has been successful in making money, but if he has any ideas, and they have impressed themselves upon his business, NV'? know exactly how to measure them, by the results they have produced. The deaths upon the Isthmus, and the melancholy fate of the Re de Italia, are the exemplars of them all. INTENSITY OF BEAT G.ENE4AZED- 4 BY PEAT. It is an acknowledged fact that peat produces an intense heat, a feature of so much importance as to entitle it to prominent mention and careful consideration. Its virtue in this respect is much increased, when properly prepared, solidified, and dried, and it reaches its maximum of heating power when solidified and charred or coked. Mention has often been made of its peculiar qualities in this respect, but their importance will be more clearly comprehended when taken in connection with the facts in an interesting article on the " Calorific Value of Fuel," which we find in the American Railway linies, and which contains remarks so pertinent on this point that we quote as follows: — "There are, in all, five important kinds 'of fuel only : these are wood, peat, coal, charcoal, and coke—the first three being natural, and the last two artificial fuels. The elements of which each of these is composed are practically identical, the difference of character being due 'to the proportion of those elements entering into the composition of each kind of fuel; and, according to those pro portions, each fuel takes its relative position in the scale of value. Taking the comparative chemical composition of the various kinds of fuel, according to Dr. Machaltie, their percentage stands thus : Carb. Hyd. Oxy. Nit. Sul. Ash. Wood (dried at 280 deg. F.) 50.0 6.0 42.9 1.0 1.0 Peat (dried at 220 deg. F.) 57.0 5.5 31.0 1.5 5.0 Coal 85.0 5.0 4.0 1.0 4.0 Charcoal Coke 92.0 1.5 6.6 The amount of heat produced by fuels in their combustion does not always constitute their rela tive value. For some purposes, it is apparent that this would be the best criterion ; but, as a rule, in metallurgic processes, the quantity of heat is of far less importance than the intensity or power to raise substances to the highest temperature—and the fuel which affords the greatest quantity of heat is sometimes incapable of producing the greatest intensity. " In determining the intensity of the heat pro duced, it is necessary to know the available quan tity of heat produced in the combustion of a pound of fuel, the weight of the products of combustion, and the quantity or number of units of heat re quired to raise the products of the combustion of a pound of fuel, one degree Fahrenheit. Where very high temperatures are required the fuel which should be selected ought to approach as near as possible to pure carbon, in its composition, and for thc , :e.a.4on that carbon Li tho best r,abstanec for the purpose. " We now see the reasons for making coal into coke, and wood into charcoal. Coal cannot pro duce a temperature equal to that obtained from coke, neither can the temperature of wood be com pared with that of charcoal. And this results from the relative accession of carbon, and reduction of oxygen and hydrogen in them. This must be re ferred to the great difference between quantity and intensity of heat. If we cannot raise sufficient steam from a boiler by the use of one ton of coal, we can easily meet the point by burning two tons ; but, if the fusing point of metal cannot be attained with one ton of coal, it by no means follows that any additional amount of fuel will insure the re quired result. The great distinction to be observed is between quantity and intensity of heat. The first of these two conditions depends upon the quantity of fuel, but the last is referred entirely to the qullity of fuel. " Twenty tons of coal will not give a temperature so great as that afforded by one ton of coke." It should be observed that in the above state ment of comparative composition of fuels no men tion is made of peat charcoal. Now, it is an established fact that peat charcoal is of greater density and calorific power than the best wood charcoal, and, calculating the amount of carbon in peat charcoal at no more than the relative amount as between wood and charcoal in the above table, exceeds e a e t ed c e h a a r n c y oal w of th il e l f abeel mentioned ee represented tieeed i nby Dr. 9 B m , a w e h h ih a c i. tie's table. The intense heat generated by peat fuel is a sub ject of frequent remark, and will eventually be dwelt upon, we think, as a very important con sideration in estimating its value.—Leavites Peat rournal. The New York Tribune says :—" A crowd of journalists, representing many sections of the country, have sailed for Paris ; and the Great World's Fair, shortly to bo held,. will therefore have no want of historio graphers. From this city, Mr. Daniel B. Seymour, the dramatic editor of The Times, and Mr. Remack, the musical connoisseur of the German press, have gone to gether; and Mr. George Alfred Townsend, one of the most brilliant of the newspaper men who hold roving commissions, has followed. Mr. E. 0. Haile, of the Ne w Orleans Crescent, another journeyer to the Great Exposi tion, has sot " the first thousand ems," typographically,. towards the printers' fund for a monument to their bril liant fellow printer and benefactor, Artemus Ward. Mr. Hall, of the Crescent, travelled to New York to organise societies of printers to secure this monument. Each printer is to contribute the worth of a thousand ems, which is about 45 cents. A correspondent of the Springfield Republican gives the following instances of the feuds of literary people:—" In a recent letter something was said of the vindictiveness of literary people. Pages might be written on this subject with illustrations.. Two young poets, one resident in New York and ono in Boston, and both of no inconsiderable reputation, hate each other with the fury of a scorned woman, lose no opportunity of procuring the publication of sneers and slurs upon each other, and won der, in presence of their friends, why So and So is so bitter. A reverend author of this city spends a good deal of his time in abusing a popular monthly magazine, simply because his contributions thereto have been " de clined, with thanks." But one of the most remarkable evidences of this literary eccentricity appears in a recent New York case. A divine of that city wrote and published a volume of essays not long ago. It was received with general favour by the critics ; but one "leading journal" devoted an editorial column to its anni hilation. The review was one of the finest specimens of the slaughtering style of review I ever saw, but its ani mus was plain enough. The writer of it came to New York some yours ago, unkno wn and u nfriended. By the kindness of the reverend author, he was put upon his f To eet and given an opportunity to display his gr powers. put it mildly, his moral nature was weaker than his intel lectual, and his clerical friend found it necessary to warn the members of a family into which he had introduced the young man, against the latter's dangerous wiles. E. P. Whipple has written, at the request of Mr. Fields, an essay on Dickens, which will probably appear in the next number of the Atlantic. It is said to be one of his finest productions. The preparation and publication of this essay in view of the publishing enterprise which now Mainly engrosses Messrs. Ticknor and Field's attentionatton, must be regarded as specially timely. Partou's sowing machines will also, 1 believe, make a part of the May Atlantic, having boon "unavoidably postponed" the April number. At the Middlesex Sessions on Saturday, Mr. Frederick Strange, the managing director of the Alhambra Palace, appealed against a conviction of Mr. R. P. Tyrwhitt, dated Jan. 22d, 1867, on a summons which averred that he did "unlawfully keep a certain house or other place of public resort in Great Britain—to wit, the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, for the public performance of stage plays without authority by virtue of letters from her MajAsty or her predecessors, or license from the Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's household, or her llaj.+Aty's justices of the peace for the s:tid county, within which the said house or place is situate (the seine house or place not being a booth or s h ow excepted from the statute), as in the Act of the Homos of Parliament, Gt.h itli years Of her cap. 63, for regulating theatros, contrary to the statute iu that case made and proviii,4l2 , hfr.

The learned counsel then proceeded to glance at the principal incidents contained in the piece complained of, and when he proved all these facts he should ask the court to confirm the con viction. Mr. Geo. Frederick Leicester, an actor, said he witnessed the performance of the piece entitled " Where's the Police"? which was supported by the regular pantomimic charac ters, who wont through the usual business. There wore tricks and changes. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine addressed the court on behalf of the appellant, and contended that no stage play could exist without a consecutive plot, and without_ it csu l a ti pt_ come within the statute, which being a pOnal one, thous who promotcal_4lo prosecution wore. bound to prove 'the whole of their case. The act of tlie 22d of George 11., under which these performances took place, licensed places for "music, dancing, and public entertainments of a like kind " Therefore it was quite clear that the Legis lature never intended to confine them to merely music or dancing, without trenching upon what was understood as a theatrical performance. lie contended that this case was identical with that which had been decided in th a t cour t , and one of the best judges who had ever sat in Westmin ster-hall had upheld their opinion by saying that they were the proper persons to determine this question. Then it was only a part of a pantomime, and he was sure his learned friend would not say that a speech taken out of a play or a part of a ballet taken from a theatre constituted a stage play. Having alluded to the incidents of the ballet which were mentioned at the hearing of the former case, the learned sergeant said, if he was right in his view that dis joined incidents could not be considered a stage play, then he was entitled to the judgment of the bench in his favour. After some other observations, the learned sergeant said that this was a question of law and not of sympathy; that the other tide had failed to make out their case, and that the conviction must be reversed. The magistrates retired to consider their decision. On their return, The Assistant Judge said, considering the importance of this question, and how much these places contributed to the entertainment of the public, as the subject had already been considered by a Parliamentary committee, it would be desirable if there was some enactment upon it ; but the Court had to give its opinion upon the question raised, and deal with it as a matter of fact, independent of any other considerations. The Court had been pressed much by a former decision, and it would be unpleasant to reverse its decision ; but there was a great distinction be tween this and the former case, and, taking all the facts of the case into consideration, and what had even been admitted by the learned counsel for the appellant, the Court was unanimously of opinion that this representation was part of a pantomime, and that the conviction must be affirmed. ' Mr. Sergeant Ballantine asked the court to postpone the enforcement of the penalties for three months, pending the inquiry by Parliament, for if an act were passed no doubt there would be a clause inserted to deal with pending penalties. The Assistant Judge said they had nothing to do with that. He would make no order as to costs. PIGEON SHOOTING. GUN CLUB.
