stituents at Greenwich it. luncheon held at the Ship
Hotel. In the cams of 110C111 remarks, the right
bon. gentleman urged the need of organisation, and
advised them t adopt the Birmingham plan. A.
immense gathering was dimmer& held in the Skating
Rink at Woolwich, where an addrem was p elevated
to Mr. (Redstone. In responding, be mid the Liberal'
had been taunted with benign( interests, but at
p smut he knew of hut one harrasesd haterest—the
British nation. He went on to say that there wee
one question so vast as to include all others—that of
personal Government He protested against the
phrase being interperted to mean that the Queen had
shown a desire to depart from the traditions of the
Constitution. The meaning of the phrase was that
the executive Government had shown a disposition to
umurp and trespass on the perogatives of Parliament
He bad been taunted with being the friend of Hus•iti,
but those who thus reviled hint had brought Russia,
back to the Danube. had given her Kars, and had
trilled with the report of the Rhodope Oonunision.
Approath.ing the Afghan Question, Mr. Glad.tone
said there was • peragraph in Lord Cranbrook's remit
despatch that was true though its effect wee to pro-
duce an Impression that was absolutely tale. It was
absolutely untrue that the late Government withheld
from the Ammer the promise of ooaditional support and
It was also untrue that the Viceroy was instructed to
postpone the subject. It had been • settled policy not to
force on the Armor the remption of European resident.
and that policy continued until Lord Northbrook left
India. Pr cowling with the history of the negotia-
tions, Mr Gladstone pointed out that four important
letters written by Lord Lytton's orders, which might
account for the Azneer's suspicions, were not to be
loond in the Blue Book recently published. The
question now was, whether we could to OW on con-
sciences justify the steps which were being taken for
carrying fire and sword into countries that were en.
laying in some sense the bit...lugs of pease. The
responsibility now rested with the Cabinet, bet in •
week it would rest with Peril snout, though at last it
rested with the people, and they would one day dis-
cover that national injustice Is the meat road to
national downfall.

INSPECTOR OF NUISANCE.
To de My..

I consider it a duti-to—myeelf iogive an explanation
to the statement in your last week'. paper ( felegaset)
relating to the appointment of an Inspector of
Nuisances. Mr. Nangle's speech, which pr.-coded
mine wee not fully reported, and a part of mine, ay it
a ands, mit-represents my views. Where you say
In respect to the appointment of an '' Inspector of
No mance," that "Mr. Wallis premed that the
advertisement should contain a notice that no person
within the borough need apply." This hat caused a
reflection to be cast on me by many. Permit me to
say it we. Mr. Nangle's sugeestion that • stranger
should be appointed to fill the nitration, and he gave
his reasons. My reply was "I think we have
strangers anourb in Weymouth already. I shall
certainly °pews, that." Mr. Nangle proposed, and Mr.
Thomas seconded, the following reeolation :—"That
the salary of an Inspector of Nrrancos to be appointed
be fired at tlOO • rear. subj-ct to the approval of the
Local Geverninent Board, and that after their
approval the Town Clerk be 1/retracted to advertise
for persons willing t • undertake the duties of the
offioe." Subsequently I said "If it be the intention of
ibis Board ir et o artreavais anyone in the borough,
when we advertise let it be mentioned that no one in
the borough used away, asit would be giving appli-
cants unneosamey trouble in getting testimonials, etc ,
and alter all be ec-Iced." Feeling assured you will
kindly insert this as planation, so that my true position
relating to deb master may be known —Beileve
dear air, yours fa tidally, MOWS S. wawa.
