Dinner over, the CIIAIIMAU rose and proposed,
motet every expression of loyalty, the toast of The

ho her Majesty wee honoured and beloved, or how
exurb she Weed her subjects. She could never have
experienced a more intense feeling of sympathy from
her tobjects in every tort id the world than on the
the recent lamented death of her daughter.
Her Majesty had endeared herself to all her subjects
throuohout the world. (Applause.)
The toast WU most warmly drunk.
"Tbe Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of
the Royal Family," wan the next toast, proposed by
v., Ottoman, and drunk with enthusiasm.
The Vicr-CHAIRIUS nee and proposed "The
Army. Navy, and the Volunteers." He said he had
been in the army himself, and knew a little about it.
In our late Afghanistan expedition an example had
been given of what the British soldiers could do. (Hear,
bear.) As to the Zulu affair, he was not in a position
to say very much, but as be tad been among them be
knew what clams of people they were and the ad ran-
tae they would take of people who were not accus-
tomed to the country. Referring to the death of the
Prints Imperial, he mid he was sure the whole of
Europe very much regretted the cure of the death of
ox worthy a young Prime. With regard to the navy.
it stood uumher one. (Hear, hear.) lie had no doubt
that mot of them had the pleasure of seeing the
Plying Squadroo leave the Roads ; and • Britisher
might welt say " There goo a fleet which can compete
with any other in the wont." (Applause.) When
our fleet was lying in the Rophorus some time ago it
proved to us that every other cation was afraid of Us.
(lim, hear.) As to the volunteers, they were an
untried holy of men, but they were prepared when
oiled mon to defend their country. They were a
(gust omit on a good foundation, and had got those
seamary instincts of military matters instilled into
them, io that tney would be found an admirable body
of men hi, petect their country when called upon to

Captain Wier replied on behalf of the regular
Cave He said when they considered little matters
that had ...erred lately be thought they had reason
comotulate themselves that the army was not
WHIN than it was in former years. (Hest, hear.)
Rafe-ring to the Zulu war, be asked "What is the m-
ailed disaster in Zululand after all r It was true
there were many lives sacrificed, but the enemy that
defeated us mild not follow up their victory, because
they had ket all their best men ; and yet this was put
does by the newspapers as a gross disaster to the
British army. rh• great sacrifice of life it was true
was very much to be regretted, but still they
amid claim and consider it as a glorious
victory, sod the glorious deeds performed at the
examen anti the victory at Rorke'. Drift were equal

Imperial was very much to be regretted, but he
thought the blare* rested with thole who allowed him
to go to the Cape, for he ought not to have been
aliowol to leave England. He believed we had as
rod an army LI ever we hail; and an enemy would
had that out if be interfered with us. ( Applause.)
Mr. Blooms (H.M.S. Boacawen) returned thanks
on behalf .1 the navy. Wheu they were wanted they

said he had not spoken to his companion. Prisoner
said he could fight any man about there, and he
"mputred off." He pulled him about, and he asked
him to let him pans, but he would not. He followed

he would hit his head if his shoulders. Mr. Penney's

Qum Titricreits.—A meeting of the Trustees of the
Quays was held at the Guildhall on Tuesday, the
Mayor (Councillor W. N. Western) in the chair, and
there were present, Aldermen G. li. Penney, J.
Buckley, and li. Green, Councillors G. (urtis, A.
Baldon, K P. Philpots, and T. Buckley.—Councillor
Balstem said the Trustees might congratulate them-
eels es on having • balance left after paying all their
liabilities. Their shipping revenue, notwithstanding
the slacknese of trade, had scarcely fallen off at all, it
being only Ell leas than the revenue of the previous
year. The Town Clerk (Mr. H. IV. Dickinson)
remarked that it was wonderful that such should he the
case.—The Treasurer (Mr. H. B. Sedgfield)
attended, and, with Councillor Curti., went through
the accounts for thg Past year, which showed a balance
in the treasurer's hands of 1.177 Os. 7.1. The accounts
were pealed, as were also those .4 the collector of I Wee
(Mr. Wailham). From these it appeared that during
the year ending the 314 of May last the receipts
amounted to £1,874, being .1:11 less than the amount
collected during the previous year, which was the
largest sum ever collected in the imrt of Poole—The
Mayor referred to the desirability of taking over the
Town House, which was in a very dilapidated
condition, and a disgrace to the Quay. He thought
it would be advisable to secure the property at a cost
CIO, and thereafter keep it in proper repair.—
Alderman Penney acid it was originally Corporation
property, and the Corporation leased it to trustees
for TA years, at three guineas a year. There were
use persons who represented that interest.—The Town
Clerk observed that this was the interest to be
purchaeed.—Alderman Penney eakl the lease, or
license, a copy of which he produced, was dated the let
of May, DM. Any proposition which the Council
might make to the trustees he would lay before them,
and would endeavour to obtain their acceptance of it.
—ln reply to the Town Clerk, Alderman Penney
said he had the trust deed. The surviving trustees
were Meyers. IV. lc C. Adey, J. Slade, C. J. Stone,
J. Davis, and himself (G. R. Peaney).--On the pro-
position of Councillor Balaton, seeonded by Councillor
Philpots, the Town Clerk was instructed to offer the
trustees of the Town House a sum not exceeding .C. 50
for their interest in the building.—lt was resolved on
the propeition of Councillor Curti., seconded by
Councillor Buckley. to pay for the Harbour lights on
the Quay out .4 the funds of the Quay Trustee..

The Rer. C. H. Boit*lel, of KITINOn. w summoned

Pools is not behindhand in upraising disgust at the
lerlepul=mion in trade from which she is suffering,
mainly due to Tory misrule, and the
tntellsotoal portion of the working population in our
midst, who once sailed under Tory colour., are
gradually deserting from the ranks of those whom
=is fast coming to an end. We have bean told in
quarters that our demonstration was not a
success, but those who witnessed what took place
know better than this, and it is universally
_acknow-
ledged on all sides (except by a few prejudiced bigots
who are not open to conviction) that the on]y thing
which detracted one iota from the success wee the
distress throughout the country, which is now felt in
Poole ; this fact, doubtless, kept many working men
sway from the procession, simply because times were
so bad that tbeycould not afford " half a-clay," but then
working men know whom they have to thank for all
this, and at the next general election they will
dimity their disg .st in that silent but satis-
factory manner peculiar to the English voter.
As we said before, one greet assurance we

Opponents, The local Conservative organ of last week
treats its readers to a bomm-bolicke of superlative rarity
—• real original article upon &subject affecting Pools,
an article which, in our humble opinion, "lets the
political cat out of the bag " in a most unmistakable
I manner, and tells in a most direct way to its readers
that a wholesome dread exists amongst Poole Con-
eervadves of Mr. Waring, and the political future of
the borough. The writer, with that sarcastic twang
peculiar to those individuals who, feeling soured, try
" to say something nasty," first informs us that it is
I to be supposed that the Libersim have demonstrated
something. We would inform dim that his surmise is
correct, and as they demonstrated that they preferred
°ll°lrrr.aring to Mr. Arthur Goad at the last election
but one, and as they demonstrated that "fishing
petitions" keep lords of manors out of Parliament at
the last election, and as they also demonstrated at the
same time that they preferred Mr. Ashley, the
stranger, to Sir Ivor Guest, the "local candidate," so
also last Wednesday did they demonstrate the
one great and Indisputable fact that POOLE IS A
LIBERAL BORO GIL But as we proceed with
this local and original leader we find that Its author
was only an "ordinary observer," and, we fear, very
"ordinary," or he would have been able to have SOW
something better to write about, and something to
make • better subject for • joke, than he hoe bcough!
forward. We fail to see how the " pachydermstous
gentleman alluded to can be classified with any
pachyderm, but were we honoured with tha title of
" ordinary observers" perhaps we might; suffice it to
say that we can truthfully represent the speeches as
other than "prosy" or " screaming. ' We would ask
this "ordinary observer" to tell us something more
sell-evident than the fact that fighting for a Perna-
mentery mat is an expensive hobby. We should
imagine that DO one knows this better than—eay, for
instance, anyone who has unsuccessfully contested
three seats in succession such as Poole, Glamorgan.
shire, and Bristol, and who has had to share the costs
of a " fishing petition" into the bargain. Admitting

for the people. The observations of the " ordinary
cheery's." wind up by • series of arguments as to the
claims Mr. Waring for representing Poole.
He finishes up in • dof fog,
an
unable by the use of
observation" find y reasons manatee-
ory t "ordinary editorial mind. We will attempt to dissipate
that fog, and leave for his further observation answers
to his query, which may save him the trouble, when
next he writes a local political article, of advancing
such " ordinary " arguments again. The claims which
" justify " (to use the original word) Mr. Waring's
candidature are many and varied, local and political.
The first great claim he has upon the people arises
from the people claiming ham as their future
member, he having twice represented the borough.
He is the people's man, a popular favourite of the
people—the more they know him the better they like
him. The next claim Mr. Waring has to justify him
candidature is a claim of sympathy; he was ousted
out of hie seat in • cruel and unfair manner, and this,
too, by no fault of his. Another claim he has upon
the voters is that he is a Liberal, as are the majority
of the burgesses of the Borough. Another claim he
has is a local one; be made the Poole and Bourne-
mouth Railway, one of the greatest conveniences to
the town we possess, and one which is a great worm
of revenue to the town. That railway conveys to
their homes outside Poole those who have been turned
out of their houses because they would not sell their
political souls. We might go on multiplying claims
upon claims; but we only ask "the ordinary observer"
to strain his editorial talents week by wools as he did
last Saturday, and give us a few of his weak points to
discuss—weak points which he, in common with all
other Poole Tories, sadly wants enlightening upon.
