Toe TEMPEILANCE Mai emea-r. At an annirersary
meeting on Monday, Canon Farrar said the temperance
movement was making rapid progress. In rega to the
Sunday Closing Bill, it Wing adopted now in Ireland as
well as in Scotland, he ventured to prophesy that next
session a Bill would be bmught forward for Wales, for a
house-tohouse poll had recently been made in Aberdare,
where DO per cent, of the laipulation were in favour of that
measure. After a Sunday Closing Bill had been passed for
Wales, England loud follow for very shame. Ile trusted
that the question of temperance reform would not be made
• party question. and that any bill against the liquor
traffic would be a great and decisive act of the national

MIL GLADSTONE returned to Hawarden from
Scotland on Monday, and his homeward journey, like
his route northward a fortnight ago, was marked by
displays of popular welcome all the way. At Carlisle
• crowd assembled to do the great idatesman honour,
and Mr. Gladstone, in acknowledging their greeting,
prophesied that if Parliament were dissolver( to-
morrow very few Conservatives would contest Scotch
seats. At Preston the ex-Premier was welcomed by
an enthusiastic assemblage, to whom he delivered a
speech asking them to discard their present representa-
tives in favour of supporters of Liberal principles. A
similar reception awaited the right hon. gentleman at
Wigan, where he made a lengthened speech to a huge
conconrseof people, severely condemning the foreign
policy of the Government. At Warrington Mr.
Gladstone WAS presented with an address from the
local Liberal Associations, to which he replied in a
few appropriate remarks from the carriage window.
On his arrival at Chester the right hon. gentleman was
escorted for some distance towards Hawarden by •
procession of Liberals carrying lighted torches.
THE 11ARQUIS OF SALISBURY presided at the annual
dinner of the West Hertfordshire Agricultural
Society, held Tuesday night. In propoeing the toast
of the evening, he ref erreil to the agricultural distress.
Mr. Gladstone, he said, had accused him of every
species of economical heresy, he had also referred to
the expropriation of the landlords and the institution
of peasant proprietors. It was assumed by a consider-
able number of persons in England that the
Conservative party endeavoured to prevent the system
of peasant proprietorship coming into existence ;but be
deelrsd most earnestly to repudiate any such sentiment,
for while he admitted with respect to the narrow in.
three,' of agriculture that peasant pmprietorship was
not desirable, yet it WY a great political safety for the
country, and he would do all he oould to bring about
Ito existence on a larger scale. The idea of the
inztitution of an English peasant proprietorship was,
however, out of the range of the practical politician.
He had always felt that, with respect to all these
propositions, the mistake was to make a great deal too
much of the landlord. They might depend upon it
that the relations between landlord and tenant
would adjust themeelves, and this all the more easily as
the result of recent events. Much had been said
about putting more capital into the land; but then
SIM.. A commodity of equal importance which required
to be considered. When Sir Joshua Reynold/ was
asked what he mixed his pigments with, his answer

could not shrink from tt, and they had to bring
the whole weight of their power sad influence to beer

That broke out at a time when Lord Aberdeen. Govern.
meet was in power, and Mr. Gladstone hell the important
Aloe of Chancellor of the ffsebequer. How did Lord
Aberdeen deal with It? The Turkish dominions were
invaded by the Russians, am they were again the other
day. He rememberel well the loader of the House, Lord
John Remelt, coolies down to the Howe, and aneouncing
that Her MO esty's Government had decid ed on war. That
war hated for • couple of years, and be should he within
the mark, placing the cost at £50,000.000 or Cel).000.000 of
money, and the income tax stood at 161. in the S. He
heard one of the most powerful speeches ever delivered by
one of the greatest masten of English oratory in the
country—Hr. John Bright. (Cheers) He remembered
Mr. Beebe, speech on the looses which this country had
sustained in men, °Dicers, distinguished leaders of this
country, end common soldiers in that terrible war. No
one who heard that deep pathos, how it came home to the
hearts of all those who heard him, will ever forget it;
many ef them loot their own personal friends in that wer,
and the country sustained a great calamity. That, then,
was bow the question was dealt with by Lord Aberdeen's
Government How had it been dealt with by the Govern-
meat of Lord Beaconsfield! They Caine down to the Howe
and aaked for • vote of six million, of money, and they
had it How did that compare with whet the country had
to pay in the Crimean war But what was still more to I
the purpose—not one life was het in the settlement of
that greet Eastern Question. He did not wish to weary
them, but he would make one quotation from the last
speech he reed on this subject. The speaker said that the
settlement of the Berlin Tteaty was • wise and ajust one,
followed out the lines of policy laid down by Lord Russell
and Lord Pelmerston, and if the other Great Powers of
Europe would act Jointly with E -gland in carrying out the
provisions of the Berlin Treaty it would lead to • perma-
nent peace throughout Edema That wee not said Ity one

Z ale war and the war in Afgeautetan. He magatentd
that the Government were not N.1+,041618 for the war in
Zululand. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ghee roe in the course of
one of his spereshes lately in Soothed referred to the
Ashen*, war and said that although the Literals were in

pride and pleasure for so long to do, he should represent

question of County Administratien, Mn. Royer said he
had spoken upon the subject to Inends in his own neigh-
bourhood, and the result of th -in discussion was • great
deal of differeoes about it. Ni., what was it in the
county administration that there was so much talk about?
It wee the management of • cei lain portion of the rates
