has not vouchsafed to give the represent dives of the
people one jot f information on his mysterious chino,
but has treated the upper town, which hi not
representative, to a long tirade, which amoutted to
nothing after all, who has, witle-ut having consulted
his country, drawn that country into an engagement
from which there is no escape, and which will steadily
rein its expenditure by millions, and which in the end
will cover Asia Minor with whithered bones of
Englishmen, and all this to buttress up and perpetuate
a dynnity wherein r bbery, plunder, and oppression,
coupled with race, murder, and unnatural lust, run
riot and reign supreme, and where in the words of the
poet—
" liege withering lad and
Igsseg sighed fare.eli." . _

And who hoe carried all this out in a crafty, sly, and
underhand manner, that will cause the name of
Englishmen hitherto venerated to be a byword of
contempt and reproach—if you worship bun. I any
you may. For my part I don't like such heroes, they
are better fitted to play their parts on • leas malted

the emptying of fool's pockets of their not vary ready

Does telling a political opponent a rem Jewish curiosity
exceed the limits of mutely and good last.? If it
does, then such a reference, no mate: when or where

only adds fuel to the fire by • defence which only
palpably displays his error. Mr. Nears I

Mr. Nears would have done better had he let the

by the audience. Miss Lydon's phusolorte solo was played
with great taste, end was • moot brilliant execution.
Songs by Messrs. C. Read and W. R. Brown, each of
which were encored, concluded the first port. Tbe open-
ing of the sewed Pert was "Tancredi," played in excelkot
saris by the Misees Lydon and Taylor. Mr. Tads then
sang a .one, which so brought down the home that be
had to appear the third time. A pretty song by Mien

rapturously encored. Th. h.., by Mr. W. H.
Brown was an "original" containin, many local hints.
and by the eicellent style in which it was rendered, was
loudl called for again. Songs by Miss Taylor and Mies
were aliio encored. The glee "Oh, who will

but time would not permit. The concluding soon
was comic end in character by Kr. PI"

auccemful entertainment, the audience being in a rerg
happy vein throughout, and joining heartily in the
cborimes. Mr. Nutting presided during the evening, and
at the conclusion • hearty vote of thanks was accorded
him. Great credit and thanks are due to (hoes who
kindly worked to get UP this evening's ainusementoo Miss
Nutting for kindly lending her piano, and to Mr. Nuttinof
and Mr. F. Timard, to the latter, we believe, fell the lions
share of the work, and thanks are also due to :bees gentle.

THE ASSIZES.

The Lew Nina believes It is fully settled that there
are to be fur assizes in the year, and that two of them,
exoept on certain circuits, will be limited to a com-
mission of gaol delivery. In order, therefore that they
may be held at intervals of three month; some
re-arrangement is rendered neceseary. fhe usual
spring assizes will therefore be held earlier after this
year—ln the month ,d January instead of March. The
summer &wises will be held as before, in July. and at
b th these assizes civil and criminal work will be done.
Then in October and April will be held the amine as
enacted by the Winter Amines Acts. There are
rumours also that the coneolidatian of comities is likely
to be to a certain degree effected with regard to the
January and July assizes.
