Smith said that he hail received information for the
captain that the men were in • refractory state, and
be went off, and talked to the men. They asked
him to look at the forecastle, and he found it
very wet, and said it should he remedied ; but
he also censured them for leaving it in such • dirty
state, saying they ought to clean it up. They replied that
they left it as it was for the state to be seen, lie told
them that sit to refusing duty they were still in the Roads,
and if they were afraid the ship was unseaworthy when
the anchor was ordered to be hove up it would be time for
them to complain, and not while the vessel was at a safe
anchorage. lie told them they were 'cutting their
own throats," for if the vessel was unseaworthy when the
surveyor came, and then they ref itsed, the magistrates
would not require them to proceed to sea. The cook
persisted that his duty was in the galley, and not to go
aloft ; but he (Mr. Smith) told them the captain had the
right to send hint aloft, and put an apprentice to look
after his fires. One and allot the men ref seed to go to sea;
he reasoned repeatedly with them, and told them what they

about to remand till Monday; but Mr. Howard said that
would be a great additional expense to the owner, as the
vessel would be detained. He asked that the remand
might he only until five o'clock this afternoon. Meantime
the surveyor could have gone on board, and examined the
ship.-The men were remanded until five o'clock.

THE naSTana 04111ATI00.
There was another subject that has occepiel all, the
question that has Imen agitating the mind id all Europe,
the Eastern Question ; there is never an omen-lenity of
talking about anything else, and what you call " Your
Parliament out of Stes.sien" has all le-en harping nil this

The Conference seenis to have done nothing; hut I am not
one of those who do not expect considerable go xl front the
results of that Conference. I believe that great wool will
result from the meeting of those plenipotentiaries of the
nations of Europe face to face, and their comparing notes
on this Eastern Question. (Hear. hear.) I will do the
justice to the Government of saying that they chose •
very able statesman to repreeent us—Lord Salisbury—
(hear, and applause), end I expect to hear that great good
resulted from that tour he made on his way to Constanti-
nople, paying his vista to the crewned heads of the
different countries, amt comparing notes with them. On
his way to Constantinople he must have gathered
valuable information as to their intentions, for, pawing
through Berlin, Vienna, awl other cities, he learned that
these governments were, like our own, very li adverse
to Russia coming southward& and getting a footing in
Turkey. I am not going to say that the Conference
resulted in nothing. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Previeus
to the Conference we heel, as you are aware, that

aware of the fact that the Conference hail been xettled
on, awl that the plenipotentiariee were nil their way to
Constantinople: awl they im dente expected what every
man in the country expected. I Is not believe that any
lean in the country believed otherwiee but that whatever
the Conference would settle that would lie i eliately
accepted and swallowwl by Turkey. I know that was the

I think, is entirely out of the queation ; but it is a matter
which, I think, is very much forget. Upon this Eastern ;
Qiiestion the Conference met, and excluded the Turks at i
first —instead of adositting them itende they kept them
outeitle, as if the Terk woos prisoner, and they were only
deciding what punishmeut they wenn indict. The Turks .

I THI TURKISH CONITITIITION.
We have had a year of surprises, and the greatest
surprim of all that will surprise you and me, and all the
e oat, will le: if the Turkish Constitution is a seeress.
(Laughter.) We cannot laugh at the use,, who are at the
breast of affairs in Turkey, and I would not have you think
that I would laugh at them, for them !nen have shown
enurtnoms wind, ability, and skill, in the matter. All I
have got to soy ía that if this Constitution should prove
a success—and that they are earnest about it—the next
thing we shall be likely to see is that Turkey will be
calling upon Russia to improve the position of the Poke I
(Hear, hear, laughter, and great applause.) But I will
pass from that subject to something infinitely more
pleasant, it devolves upon me to propose the toast of the
evening, a toast which you will receive most heartily—the
" Health of our worthy Mayor." (Applause.) We have
had many worthy Mayors filling the chair, but I do not
know that we have had it more worthily filled by any one
than by my good friend Mr. Lundie. I rejoice toner, him
in excellent health, I think the work of the mayorlty hits
done him an enormous amount of good: I am quite sure
he meets with the good feeling and good fellowship of all,
and I am quite sure he deserves it. (hope he will continue
to do no, and (do not know what he may become at the
end of his year of office. (Applause.)
The BL•ToR, in reply, said it would be his object to
advance the material prosperity of this town, in which he
had so long been • resident. One or two words as to the
future he might say. Colonel Akers would tell them that
at the commencement of a campaign, the first business
WSB to ascertain what lay before them in the year, and
Weymouth, being • watering-place, must be made
attractive, and if they wanted the young ladies to say,
" Do take me to Weymouth, mamma, because there is •
garrison there," and if the young fellows were to say "Let
us go to Weymouth, there are a capital lot of good fellows
and plenty of the sort of thing we like there." (Roars of
laughter), they must make the town attractive. They
had been pleased to consider that he had helped to forward
what was to make Weymouth more prosperous: he and
Mr. Eliot hell been to sae about • plane for a winter
' garden ; but they also wanted something for the summer.
Then at the gathering of the Yeomanry, there was the
nit, of the county, and he should want their help for their
amusements, also for the Regatta • they had two very
excellent clubs, the Royal Dorset Yacht Club, embracing
XIO of the noblest of our land, and the Prince of Wales
himself ; but they could not be expected to carry out that
Regatta without the co-operation of the townspeople, and
he should want their aid for that. (Applause).
Mr. 11. GeoRGE proposed "The health of tho Borough
Magistrates." (Applause)
Mr. ll.,Raouert responded.
Mr. G. R. CRICKNAT proposed "The Health of the
Aldermen and Town Councillor.: With the tout he
coupled the names Mr. Alderman Howard. Mr. Alderman
Thomas, Mr. G.' iuncillor Well,, and Mr. Councillor
Relent'. (Applause.)
Mr. Alderman Howalui, in reeponding, said the
drainage somewhat drained, not only the town, but the
pockets of the ratepayers, and economy and Caution
ought to le. exercieed.
Mr. Alderman THom as in responding said the time had
also arisen fur some important alteration in the Game
Laws of this country. One half of the magisterial cases
are game eases, and he asked whether they were justified
in keeping_polieemen to be the gae•okeepers of the aris-
tocracy. (Uproar.)
Mr. linwaßnil suggested that this was hardly the
proper time and place to discuss such • question as this;
and that Mr. Thomas was Trespassing • little too much on
their time. He should be haws to (LIMO It with kin,
another time. (Hear, sod ii,ama)
