the merchants and tradesmen of oar tows, to take
into consideration the desirability of adopting the Rank

The MAYOR said, as chairman of this meeting. be
was there to elicit the opinions of others more than to
offer any opinion; but there did appear to be through-
out the country • very great desire to reduce the hears
of labour of every trade, and he would recommend the
meeting, it they made • mistake to make it on the
right side, and to give the easisisote the boon they
asked. Many of the tradesmen present had been young
men themselves, and time was when they valued •
half-holiday, and prised the Early Closing Move-
ment. Ile therefore advised them now to act in
• spirit of liberality to their assistants. Another
remark be would make with reference to the
derdatons of the meeting—ln this country we are
relied b majorities, and it is an bnportent
ahsitlo of our maid freedom that the minority
glee way to the decisions of the majority. But
in the present ease, the minority can quite upset any
mevement inaugurated, any deddon some to. There-
fore he would as the minority at this meeting to defer
to the majority, or a aatidactory ooneltuaon would
never be arrived at. Supposing it was agreed to clue
at a particular time, and one or two persons held out
&gains% it, they might upset the whole—their, and
applause).
Mr. ABBOT? in preparing the first resolution,
advocated closing *elle days named in the Bank Holi-
days Ain—Good Friday,Buter Monday, Whit Monday,
tholes Monday in August. on Christmas Day, and the
Du after Christmas Day,for he thought it would remove
a good deal of feeling, such as" This day does not please
this pone°, east Mut day does not please another." He
should be very happy to have the Thareday evening
closieg, if it be universal. Us moved—" That this
meeting, hereby pledges itself to dose their respective
; business establishments—sad to au their Influence
with others to do the cams—on the days knave as the
I Beek Holidays."
Mx. T. B. Worn thought all mast agree that in
this country we worked too herd, and need more
holidays. The banks and public offices are to be aloud
on the days mentioned —(A Voice; What about Corona-
lion Day?) Of course they could do that also, if they
liked; but he thought it would be well to adopt the
bank holidays, and their aasistrants would be none the
less willing to serve their employers because they gave
an occasional holiday—Pau* He semeded Mr.
Abbott's proposition.
There was no amendment, and the Chairman declared
the resonation carried unanimously.
The MO resolution wag proposed by Mr. LtitirlM
ean.—" That this meeting, recognising the number of
hours their assistants are engegod in business, and
desirous that an oppottunity should be afforded them to
take recreation and improve their minds, pledges itself
to suspend business at 7 o'clock during the winter
mouths—November Ito April L" Mr. Lundie remarked
that as to tbe Mashie at 7 o'clock in the winter months,
he helloed Weymouth is the only committer-able
town in the Southwest of Ragland that biaa not adopted
it for some time put. At Dorchester, Bridport
Yeovil, and ether towns, it was perfectly understood that
from the hour when Myriam, commences until 7 o'clock,
there is about as much hardness done as weed be done
II business were extended an hoar or two later. There
are many reasons at this particular time why we should
close at 7 o'clock. and be would be very glad to nuke
the agreement, not for this year only, but in perpetuity
—(hear). What be involved in this resolution is per-
fectly true; ia Ragland we have too few holidays, there
is too mach grinding—(hear, hear); it is all grinding—
(enplanes). But any enrolee measure To not be so
daily SO be carried, asa valantary agreement. especially
with such • respectable end influential meeting as the
present—(mar. bear)—and he trusted the meeting was
• good salary lee Mr. Robertson In essupying the
chair—(hear). Hs hoped the minority would yieki to
thestanderal wish.
I Mr. Vircesr suggested that it would be much better
to niske the hour of closing 7 o'clock all the year round
—(immense applause).
Mr. LUJIDIE said nothing would give him greater
pleasure, if Weymouth were not a watering place; but
from 7 to 8, and later than 8 o'clock, it so happens that
the poor grocers have • greet deal more to do, in
a 111110301% than in any other put of the day. He did
I not baleve Mr. Vincent's suggestion within the bounds
of praetioabaity. (To Mr. Pidgeon): Would it be
practicable, sir?
Mr. D. Piraeus said: No ; if you attempt to extend
it to the whole year, you will fatL
Mr. IL THOMAS cordially seconded Mr. Lundle's pro-
position. He had been reed ill London from six

log to think with what feelings he entered upon the
day of rest. lie recommended the young mea eagaged
in business to accept the arrangement, and to feel that
y are gutting in the thin end of the wedge, and hope
thet by and by, it will be extended to the whole year.
He did not see any very great objection to its being
carried out all the year, for we had late arrivels in the
winter as well as in the summer. The orders generally
precede the arrival of the visitors, and they generally
find thehr requirements supplied for them when they
come —(hear).
Mr. D. PHAROS said it is not so in the grocery
trade.
Mr. THOMAS thought the practice) is about alike for
the grocer. sod the bakers. He hoped the early closing
in winter would be generally adopted, and when the
convenience had been felt, that it will be extended to
the whole year —(applause).
The Haien said be had (dosed at seven o'clock In
the winter for some time put, and did not find his re-
turns had fallen off in conseqaence. The early closing
would be • great boon to the assistants, an if they

The Association was called into existence in 1867, by the

Cattle. The Association holds—(1) That experience

that animals imported from abroad shall not have come
from or pared through, infected distriota. (2) That
them is consequently nothing to prevent the re-intro-
duction of contagious dieue among the Herds and
Flasks of the United Kingdom if these are exposed to
contact with animals so imported. (a) Thick to prevent
such "outset it is absolutely necessary that separate
Watemide Markets shall be established at tee various
ports at wash foreign animals intended for immediate
consumption shall be slaughtered, and all others
subjected to a sufficient quarantine before removed

by an Executive Committee, composed of Gentlemen

guard against disease by practical examples. It is now

that the efforts of the Association should be sustained.

Tits resolution pawed at the Central Chamber was to
effect that the failure of the Contagious Diseases

siesepalsory slaughter or 14 days' quarantine of all
Imported foreign animals. That was pseud Limed

an audience can be got to take tickets for seats at the ;

as the life of the great Reformer, and lt is a sign of
sound religioas feeling that so many assembled on

possesses wonderful eloquet.oe and an astounding
memory. For about an hour and a half his flow of
language, agreeably presenting the most stirring facts,
was unceasing; never needing the slightest aseistanee of
notes, he stood clear out on the platform, and poured
out the inspiring history of the great man. Of course,
it would be utter folly to give even a portion of his
lecture, dealing with things and persons which are
matters of early study to every person at all well.rand,
and to follow Sir. Walters's lecture without the ssi•
